Edited by: Whitehound on 20/06/2011 17:25:51 In case you have not noticed, did we not break the PCU record during the alliance tournament. This is as much "No" as you can currently get from the community. I believe it is save to say that some folks high up at CCP will have wrinkles on their foreheads about this stagnation of the PCU numbers, if it is not a decline.
The blame will likely not fall onto Incarna itself as it is not out yet, but partly onto its late deployment, as well as all the recent changes made to EVE that did not exactly improve the game in some way. I am thinking here of the removal of the learning skills - these skills did not stop the PCU numbers from climbing in the past and while the skills still existed. Now we have seen the removal of agent quality and NPC divisions, and I have a feeling that it will not boost PCU numbers in the long run either, because it is just another removal of something. Nor did the pretty avatars seem to have done much to counter it and to boost the PCU numbers and one could start making bets on how much the Captain's Quarters will help here. I do not think it will. I am guessing that Aurum will do some good as it gives players something directly in return for their money, but it also depends on what it is you can get. An Ishukone Watch Scorpion that is no different in stats from a standard Scorpion is not going to get much attraction. The Scorpion did already receive a new and pretty skin, which was felt by most as necessary. So without having seen it do I very much doubt the added value of it. If this is then the kind of stuff you can get for Aurum then I do not seen it boosting PCU numbers either.
TL;DR: In a way are players already saying "No". --

Originally by: Korinne What is EvE about? Is it about trendy clothes, or shooting a big gun and teabagging your most recent kill?
I never knew having clothes and shooting people excluded one another?
This is not the point. You can PvP in WoW, too, but most would not say that it makes both games equal. Having clothes on and shooting do not exclude one another, but then they also have not much in common.
While WoW takes place in several realms was one of the biggest arguments for EVE that it all plays in one big universe. I do not think that this distinction ever made a big difference to any of its players. And if it did then why does WoW have success with its realms? Instead, is CCP continuing on their path of combining all into one universe, and this may turn out to be the wrong idea after all for some of the EVE players. --

Originally by: Vincent Athena I saw a dev post saying the patch notes are up to 6 pages. My guess the CQ stuff is just a few lines on those 6 pages. We are getting much more than CQ (which means they have been working on much more).
1 page for the new stuff, 5 pages for the bug fixes.
Would you like to bet? --
