Anyone with even a 1/4 of a brain can see this is fake and not real. Look at all the grammatical and spelling errors.
i wouldnt expect people that had english as a second languages to get the grammar spot on
Tell me this... Are they using Scandinavian grammer in an English language? That is the telltale sign that their first language is Scandinavian.
I see these errors daily at work, I can even tell when somebodies 1st language is Russian; Ukranian, Romanin etc by the grammer they ues.
Everybody uses their native grammer but only translate the words, but apply the wrong grammer, or fall back to their grammer when in doubt.
Having been surrounded and had to learn a few languages myself :P
Paste a snippet here maybe I can tell you.
I don't know Icelandic, but in my experience Icelanders speak English with very few grammatical errors.

Three things: - CCP Soundwave confirmed on twitter that he is watching the reaction. He did not deny it being real. http://twitter.com/#!/ktouborg - CSM member Seleene, formerly CCP Abathur, confirmed seeing this on a desk in Iceland at the CSM summit. linkage - Its close enough to the direction CCP has been going that we can't tell if its real or fake on its own.

Edited by: Larik Olen on 22/06/2011 21:58:26 So all that hurf-blurf about 'vanity only' turned out to be a lie after all:
"Not all virtual purchases will focus on customization, some will simply be new items, ammunition, ships, etc. that can be purchased outright."
Assuming this is legit, this is disgusting. Outright lies about the future direction of the MT model within EVE. When was the U-turn going to happen I wonder? Seriously reconsidering my sub. I also might have tried WoD, but if it's going to be an MT paradise then you can count me out.
I understand that CCP need to make money, but the implementation of the MT model in the face of so much player rage over so long a time leaves me wondering if they're even on the same planet as the rest of us. How can they get something like this so wrong, so consistently? Some of us always feared that the slippery slope hadn't really gone away with the 'vanity only' claim - now we know for sure.

If CCP puts in microtransactions for things that can influence the game, such as mods, weapons, skill enhancements or whatever, and not purely cosmetic, I know I and a lot of other players will bail out.
See Combat Arms, this is a game where you can do exactly that, buy better guns, body enhancements where you are super fast, etc. etc. It turns into a dominance of those who have money and that is not why I play EVE. |

The DUST bit in particular looks worrying. Essentially it proposes having the RMT weapons become outdated or obsolete, so players have to constantly use MT to keep up, creating a pseudo subscription for anyone who doesn't want to die horribly...

Having more than "seen" fake PR releases my self I know what Im talking about. *g*
They would take an original one so all the fonts, layout and metadata is the same and less a red flag. Then edit the main points or article.
So, really it would be hard to tell if it is real or fake. Without it being digitally signed that is.
It smells real, given their recent actions, it smells like the beheviour of CCP, trying to be different and handle the real life money life circle so they can profit and we can accept it (read my previous points in yellow last page) that i pulled out of the document that give me the most signifigance.
They where also at this "summit" and obviously want to play a lead role here in this MT arena.
Also note, they also make reference to their other Products so this MT strategy is CORPORATE wide, not just a single product and therefore not a "test" it is their corporate GOAL.

Edited by: Jo Blot on 22/06/2011 22:03:26 Some things that can be sold to players:
- Fast-track upgrades that install first time - Downtime compensation insurance - CCP-appoved custom bots, made to order for high net worth clients. - Real-time market data feeds - Energy Trading: Allow players to configure their defences to automatically purchase extra sheilds whenever they go into armoue. - Level-Up! Skill point sales to be introduced ASAP. - Scam protection. - Local obfuscation: Players will be able to keep themselves from appearing in local chat. - Idiot-free, fact-checked forums (alas, unavailable at any price) - Alt-discovery agents. In-space agents that will divulge the identies of other player's alts in exchange for RL cash. - And last but not least, bribeable developers who will add TII BPOs to corporate hangers for cold, hard, under the table cash (or beer).

As Dust was F2P, or close to, and free (or close to) to download based on the presentations, that was inevitable. F2P = microtransactions, and not just for pretty clothes.

Finally did it, Liang. Headed for the hills with my two accounts. Only way to make sense out of CCP's particular brand of craziness.

The biggest fear for an MMO is to be like Entropia I think.
You cannot do ANYTHING without a credit card in that game.
People go "oh ill try that" then their friends say "yeah i tried that, cant do anything without real money", then they say "sod it, I cancelled my client download"

Hey Miilla quit all ready. Your incessant whining is like the droning of a katydid.
Anyone with even a 1/4 of a brain can see this is fake and not real. Look at all the grammatical and spelling errors.
So all the ship, ammo, drone, item descriptions in Eve, that for all these years have had spelling and grammar errors were fake? Does that mean I have to give back the ISK I got from killing a rat BS with fake ammo? Do clear that up for us, thanks!

Isn't it fun? It's the same path that led my former employer's corporation to default and close.
The economist (akin to John Turbefield in the PDF) kept warning about the dangerous path and about the risks.
The marketeer (in this case it's worse as Kristoffer Touborg is Lead Game Designer => more powerful) laughed in his face.
Result: when marketeers trump economists things go downhill fast.

This is legitimate. If it weren't it would be closed by now as CCP would not allow disinformation to be spread and go viral.

CCP is a business and it exists to make a profit.
With that in mind I don't see why we should be surprised that CCP have an internal discussion document in place - in fact you could argue that the presence of said document is a good thing: internally CCP are judging what is, and what is not, acceptable in terms of generating revenue from its customers (both current and future).
Quite a lot of the document makes logical sense.
We might find it distasteful too be poked and prodded by a market analysis but all business do this.
CCP Soundwaves deductions don't accord with my own, but then he seems a different style of consumer to me. On one point however I would agree - CCP are going to be burned at the stake here.

Fake or not fake, I am concerned about how CCP is trying to squeeze us for money.
As I mentioned earlier in the monetizing apps post:
If you keep this up CCP, WoW actually starts to look appealing.
You pay your sub, can log in, and do what you want to do without having to deal with broken crap, half finished features, and some company trying to sell me my own leg for which I already payed.
I'm glad Deus Ex: HR, ME2, GW2 are all coming out in the next 18 months. After that, I can see if there is anything left of Eve.

if this is true and it's the direction CCP wants to take EvE... I wont renew my subs. It's been a nice few years, with an incredible experience, but I do not wish to be around when one of the greater games of all time becomes a monster. _________________________________________________

My bet is they will never tell us how many monocles sold the first week because it will be a startling, and yet entirely predictable to anyone with common sense, total failure.

PWI is actually the company. I've played two of their games, Perfect World, and Jade Dynasty... I quit Perfect World because it was boring as ****, and Jade Dynasty went to hell when every update was a new cash shop item.
