I've got money to burn so, anyone who guesses the post # of the first CCP reply gets 2billion isk. I'll be doling out more of my old-money-isk as the night progresses. I have in excess of 140bilion liquid at the moment, so stay tuned.
Um ... 1253! If I win, I'll give it back cause my sub is up in 16 days or so. Just promise not to give it to anyone who has ever posted "can i have your stuff".

I don't think they can.
EVE is a game of scams. Of distrust. Of backstabbing. The one counter force to all that has always been Chribba. He's the indispensable man because he's been the ONLY RELIABLY TRUSTWORTHY PERSON in this game.
You know anyone else who would be able to hold a station in 0.0 on reputation alone?
If he left EVE it would be like dropping a nuke on the economy with respect to really really valuable things.
don't get me wrong, i LOVE Chribba (well, i don't know the person, but what he represents) for all he has done ALL the years, like hosting and beeing a reliable person.
But trust me on this, business doesn't care about ppl, you are a drop in an ocean of possible customers. Nothing more. Maybe, if you are a larger drop, you will make some waves, but they die off eventually.

I had already quit because of the stupid MT prices combined with Dust only coming out for PS3.
To me the line "We are pitching for another market" regarding dust always smelled of bull**** because im pretty sure alot of eve players would have wanted to play it on a 15 day skill queue.
So there you go, you can now buy a 60$ monocle to go with your 350$ expansion

Originally by: Erichan someone mentioned earlier that chribba had posted.. does anyone have a link to that?
I don't see a post on eve-search, so this was probably not true. Chribba is never one to make such posts quickly or lightly.
Pretty sure he's talking about this.

Sure, I'm not saying they will care. They won't.
But I am saying is that losing Chribba would have such a bad effect on EVE that they'd lose more money than those monocles will make them....

Originally by: BeanBagKing Edit: what happens if CCP locks it without a post?
They're known to ignore an issue or two. But if they think this is just going away by itself, or by force, then they're sorely mistaken.
We're on the eve of the day that EVE will either be recorded to continue to grow, or will go down in history as the day CCP's greed killed the game. Ball is in their corner. --

In other words, CCP's November 15, 2005 (the day the NGE was forced on SWG).
The pessimist in me predicts they will cling to their delusions and greed. Which means that today represents the high water mark for EVE subscriptions from this day forward...
Next month will represent the same from THAT day forward...
Next month after that and that and so on.
Until people are complaining that whole swaths of space are empty.
Until 0.0 is so empty that individual vanity empires dot the maps
Until people complain about no one in Jita in prime time...
Think that is crazy? That is the path they are set upon.

It's weird.
I've cancelled my accounts and now am just waiting out the time.
I was never sank a huge amount of time into EVE but I enjoyed being connected with it.
Now, I don't want to be associated with EVE online at all.
Good luck to all who stick with it. I may reactivate depending on CCP's responses.
As an aside, I am understanding of RMT in online environments and I don't mind it when it is done well. Typically I wouldn't bother with it but, who knows, with enough time and temptation I probably would give in. After all, what's tossing in an extra dollar, or two, or ten into a hobby? But, the way that CCP started out with it makes me want nothing to do with this game.
When real-life clothing can cost more than in-game clothing I balk at that. I'm a believer of merit based rarity of items as opposed to cost based rarity. But, that's me. I believe in working for something in an in-game environment to obtain something in an in-game environment.

Originally by: Chribba ok seriously, I've like Ctrl+A, backspace this post 5 times now, tbh I'm out of words.
I would like to know how many 3rd party developer/sites are doing it for the ****ing awesome income it generates?! Seriously, this if anything WILL kill development of sites and services.
As a creator of sites/applications/services for New Eden since well over 6 years now, I can tell you that I have never once created something with the goal to make money off it, this whole thing about needing a license to make something for the community is just ****ing ******ed! Just hearing this makes my interest/will for developing things crash.
This is not about the $99, this is about how you want to charge me because I want to do something for the community out of my free will - does that sense? Do you feel I am stealing your IP, making massive amounts of money off your IP? Then tell me straight up, don't try to bind it into some fluffy clouds and call it "great news".
Every IPO in Market Discussions will now require a license, since after all, it's donations. Corporations should get a license too, I mean having a corp tax of >0.0% could be seen as a donation to the corporation...
And yeah, I guess me and everyone else with an EVE IP tattoo will need a license, I mean, some other geek may think it's awesome and want to buy me a beer...
I'm just very sad to see this even being discussed, talk about a punch in the face. Don't get me wrong, I see your point of EVE IP, and yes I can agree that it may need to be controlled to some extent, but this is not the way. Not by far.

Edited by: Vincardi on 23/06/2011 02:33:35 I dont like the fact that I would have to put up PLEXES to get AUR to buy clothing. I believe that is the most reetaarded thing CCP has ever done.
Instead of making it a PI thing, where people have to make and combine several things along with ORE to create something special that gets sold to CONCORD, and CONCORD in retaurn gives you AUR for the special item you created.
then you can take that AUR and spend it on clothing.
But no, CCP is trying to monopolize EVE and they will lose a lot of paying customers.
Also, 1 - can't scroll completely out on CQ. 2 - no floor lights on the catwalk. 3 - Can't walk down to your POD and get in it to then get in your ship. 4 - CQ is so cold, no warmth and everything is all metal like a prison cell. 5 - No fridge with food and no quafe to purchase at cheap prices to drink in CQ that gives you a boost for like 2 hours like boosters do. 6 - Can not sit on bed or lay down on it. 7 - Can not play radio or TV screen audio. 8 - CQ does not have Hub Stock Ticker showing JITA and other Hub prices above the screens in CQ. 9 - Can not change light color of your CQ.
huuum... food for thought. imho

Wish I could just laugh at you, and brush this off as ludicrous. And I would have, if not for today's revelations. But now I fear you may be right. CCP has caught the MT fever, and it's more persistent and ineradicable than the ehec infection, it would appear.
Blatant greed, while sleazy perhaps, is tolerable even. MT, to purchase in-game advantages, however, is not. And I haven't met a single EVE player yet to whom that is acceptible. --

CCP appear to be on full damage control...
Whoever the "clever" marketing/PR guy was who thought it clever to use Gordan Ghecko's "Greed is Good!" will undoubtably be the first out the door, but definately not the last as this may just be the final nail in the coffin of Eve after Incarna.
I've been 'playing' Eve for the last year via PLEX anyway so if I get banned for this well shucks, I'll be in good company. Ciao.
Time to wake up and try X3. I hear its a fun spaceship game. o/

Is that actually necessary? Their economy is in such terrible shape you could throw a stack of $20's over Reykjavik into the ocean and half the population would drown trying to retrieve it. And that is saying something given the dollar's collapse in the past year...
Given how terrible job prospects are there, why is CCP intentionally destroying themselves?

Sorry I can't put /effort into anything EVE related.
