Lederstrumpf	Posted - 2011.06.16 14:37:00 - [932] == snip == The current (AKA original) EVE forums will remain on eveonline.com in an archived state for read-only reference. There will be a grace period between the opening the new forums and freezing the old ones, giving you advance notice for when the migration will happen. Exact dates are TBA; we will keep you posted on the exact time of when the old forums will close. == snip == So they are going to close the old forums. Round two of enforcing the new forum crap upon paying customers. I'm going to delete my older forum posts here again right now -- as long as I can. http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=920&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=update&utm_content=devblog&utm_campaign=eveonline

Shandir Minmatar Brutor Tribe	Posted - 2011.06.16 14:38:00 - [935] You are charging people who work for free to make your game better you asshats Here are our demands: ISK costs - no charge Volunatary donations - no charge Advertising - no charge Sold product - reasonable fee - would recommend this be more like a royalty than a single fee as "one size" does not "fit all" here. But here you can charge. If you really need to identify people who are adding value to your game for free, then charge a fee sufficiently low to be trivial. ($1/yr, or <$10 one off) to those people. I also doubt that this payment will really identify anyone who doesn't want to be identified. At the end of your decision, we should be allowed to do everything we currently can do for the same price we are currently doing it. Plus more with limitations as necessary. We do not appreciate you removing features from our game, or our community. -
Lothros Andastar Gallente	Posted - 2011.06.16 14:39:00 - [936] Originally by: Ga'len CCP, Next time, why don't you start a dev blog like this with the following lanugage at the very beginning: THIS IS NOT CURRENT POLICY, THIS IS A DRAFT! PLESSE COMMENT AS WE WISH TO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP THIS POLICY. That statement alone would have resulted in 25 less pages on this thread and would have gotten you more useful and less painful comments. No, it would have been the same, because this is 25+ pages of people telling CCP this Policy is utter ** no matter what form it takes.

Barakkus	Posted - 2011.06.16 14:59:00 - [940] At least they didn't do what Blizzard did and tell people they can't charge or take donations for anything related to WoW anymore. You should have seen the outrage on the WoW forums when they announced that. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

But here you can charge. I pretty much said the same thing a few pages back -- if you are going to charge developers real money at least let them charge real money for their services. Voluntary donations and advertising should be excluded from the pay licence. Further, the pay licence should grant the developer something back from CCP (i.e. documentation, support, SLAs, etc).

Andrea Exerlauka	Posted - 2011.06.16 15:01:00 - [942] Are you out of your mind, CCP? You really need to fire the morons who are coming up with all these great "marketable" ideas before they run your game to the ground.

CCP Zulu	Posted - 2011.06.16 15:03:00 - [943] Hello all. At the risk of sounding corporate-y, I have to say Iæm impressed and greatful for the amount of passion shown in this thread. There are a lot of very valid points raised here. What's interesting is that most, if not all, of the issues that are being raised are because of confusing wording, terminology or misunderstandings in the draft document. It is in no way the purpose of the program to deter or make money off 3rd party development. The core purpose is simply to have control our IP and brand and have a contract in place so we can have some form of regulation on apps and services that use the EVE name and EVE resources (API). Itæs obvious we have to review and iterate on the contract and program as presented in the devblog since most of the points mentioned in the comments are not in line with its core purpose. Unfortunately that will take some time and weære kind of swamped for the next couple of weeks. So what weæll do is take a step back, harvest feedback from this thread, do an iteration pass on the contract and terms and give you an updated version before the end of summer. Until we have a license that meets our needs and your expectations we will not make any changes to our terms or enforcement thereof. As always, your feedback is not only welcomed but in fact essential to us. Thank you. Arnar Hrafn Gylfason Senior Producer of EVE Online

Only took 32 pages of us saying this was a bad idea. Zulu thanks for listening. You may wanna run this sort of stuff past the CSM in the future before int ends up in a devblog

I can only assume someone has managed to hack Zulu's account, as this is clearly a deviation from the behavior we are expecting :D
Talaan Stardrifter THE PAROXYSM	Posted - 2011.06.16 15:20:00 - [949] Originally by: CCP Zulu ... voice of reason ... I'm happy to see a revised proposal that takes the feedback given into account. Personally, I'm pro-licensing, I just don't like the current all-or-nothing approach. I envisage the API shifting to a system similar to Open-Auth, where the developer authents themselves in addition to the client key and vcode. We do also need clarification on acceptable real money transactions.

realdognose Caldari Biotronics Inc. The Initiative.	Posted - 2011.06.16 15:25:00 - [951] I'm the developer of the Windows Phone Application "EVEolution". Now i read, that "selling services for ISK" possible will require the commercial license. Well, i'm selling the app for 150M, because Microsoft already charges me for a "Marketplace Account" with $99. (The app was intended to be free, but because of that charge, i decided to take ISK, to lower the costs, by buying some PLEX). Now CCP charges me with another $99 ? So, i now should pay $198 / year for a app that was planned to be freeware? Well, if this will happpen, i'll unfortunately will stop the project (and others as well). Hope, that you really will exclude ISK payments and donations from that rule. best regards, realdognose

Arnar Hrafn Gylfason Senior Producer of EVE Online Oh thank heavens the carebear tears can subside now and we can all focus on the one and only critical point to the entire devblog - commercial access to EVE PI. Oh, wait... in two weeks?!? I predict this thread will have grown to three times its size before then Zulu. Might want to spare a few cycles of someone's time to this so it can be managed. Just a thought.

Arnar Hrafn Gylfason Senior Producer of EVE Online Thank you, for not just taking the time, but also the message itself. Much appreciated. I do think however that it is less a case of misunderstanding (an sich) than it is a case of communication - regardless of internal or external parts of that. If the devblog had been meant as a way to get feedback, that really should have been made clear in its format and message. It would have prevented a substantial loss of belief / trust. It is perhaps an idea to put together a questionairre in the relevant forum section where third party developers hang out here on EVE Forums, or get CSM to do that for CCP, and perhaps run this as part of a next user survey.

Arakkis Melanogaster GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.06.16 15:44:00 - [958] Do you guys understand that these freelance developers are making third party programs that make your terrible game playable, and are giving them out free of charge? You are literally charging your customers to develop features that should have already been included in game. In fact, you should be paying the people that make your content for you. Make checks payable to 'Solo Drakban'.
Keitaro Baka Babylon Scientific and Industrial Enterprises Babylon Project	Posted - 2011.06.16 15:46:00 - [959] Thanks CCP/Zulu The thing is though, you dropped another seed/dumped another bucket of foamy frothy soap on the already slippery slope (yes, we've been using this one a lot).. Good intentions, the road to hell and all, there is absolutely no sane, or even remotely valid reason this blog should have been posted without first running it past CSM or some actual 3pd's. Add to that the, let's call it enthusiastic, wording of the blog itself and instant threadnought out of nowhere (as if summoned by the great and powerful Aurum). You guys aren't new at this, but lately (most importantly this year) you seem to be acting like a bunch of high school kids, incredibly arrogant, constantly saying the wrong things, not fact checking anything. And all so hastily.. it's insane, you have a community of people here that have frankly put up with a lot, some of us from the start and somehow some of you feel everything needs to be done now. I'm no expert, obviously I can see the legal and financial merit in this, but there's being right and there's being a thorax about it. About the not being an expert thing: why ask us common folk about anything, before asking people that might actually have something good to say first? I am not a 3rd party dev for eve, 95% of the people '+1'-ing this thread don't really have a clue on how to improve this. But, there is the 3rd party devs themselves, it's not like they are hard to get a hold of, and, they kind of all feel this is a bad 'first draft'. And then there is the CSM, sure they might not actually know themselves, but they will actually (I hope) contact people who do. This is the second threadnought I just had to post in this week, wtf CCP? And just now I see the 'new new forums up for testing' again, oh boy, I'm oiling my keyboard in advance. You don't have time to think about this, something that's ****ing off not just a large section of your community (of paying customers) but a very important part of your community at that (those people that keep us happy when you don't), but you have time for .. really? It's been said before (and in this thread) and I'll say it again: Take a step back, plan some meetings and discuss just what you see happening here. Slap some people around for being such utter PR nightmares to the community as a whole and make a plan and have people with a clue look at that plan before you show us the plan. Honestly you guys seem to be intent on having us just give up. Ignore me Drone Guide EON 21 & 22
