This whole debacle just makes me sad, to see yet another MMO fall due to "micro" transaction greed. Sure, other MMOs have some short term spikes in profit, where are they going to be a year or two later?
I'm new to EVE, extremely new, and I'm sad I've wasted the money subscribing to this game to have it ruined so soon after starting. I've already left three other MMO games that changed (or added) micro-transactions to their game, and I guess EVE will be the 4th.
I'm off to go in search of a new MMO to play that is everything for one price, just as I was doing when I found EVE.

Originally by: Malen Nenokal I'm looking forward to reading the proper followup. Hopefully it won't be the usual dodgy PR response. I love Eve and CCP, so I really hope this has caught the attention of the right people in order to get things back on track. These past few days have been a mess.
I'm fairly certain a dodgy PR respnonse is exactly what we're going to get, with more promises that will be broken in the future.

I've canceled my subscription, the whole pay for extra stuff, when already paying for a suposed "all inclusive" subscription, is just something I'll ever support, I didn't support it in the other MMOs I've left behind, and I wont support it this time either. Even if they're just vanity items, that is what my subscription is already paying for, adding ingame advantage items to this sort of store is even worse. But with or without these ingame advantage items, I would still have canceled my sub. Ingame stores have their place, and its not in games where you pay a subscription.

I don't think CCP Pann deserves any credit or comendation for "stepping up" or "coming forth" or any of that, since whoever they are is just doing their job, which is damage control.
I commend people when they go above and beyond what is expected of them, no one at CCP has made such a post thus far through this troubled time.
Infact, CCP Pann admits that it was themselves that made the decision to not be forthcoming with us, hoping that things would cool down. I see no reason to thank CCP Pann or commend them for their actions thus far.

This is the dumbest ******* **** I have ever seen in my life. Might have said since low sec and Null Sec space have so many Issues why not just delete them. They have spent too much cash not to go forward. Plus if they knuckle under at this point the shareholders will eat management alive.
The shareholders are going to eat management alive when subscriptions plumet.

Remove CQ. You're just not up to the technical challenge. Look at how terrible the avatars look compared to the char creator. And even with low polygon counts, no animations, 1/4 of the closets finished, and no interaction, you're melting people's graphics cards. This is a terrible failure.
Sorry, but this is utter bull. CQ is a fantasic technical achievement. As someone who can actually run Incarna smoothly, I can tell you, with everything maxed out, it looks very slick! And the character creator? It far overshadows anything anyone else has. Ever played Mass Effect? Their characters can't hold a candle to the truly ingenious 3D characters of Incarna!
The 'animatronics' are amazing too. I was standing in my CQ the other day, and lingered a bit, and suddenly noticed my character was staring at her nails for boredom! Seriously, Incarna is the pinnacle of character design.
I know it's hard to keep issues separated when a general anti-CCP frenzy is ongoing. But Incarna really is a masterpiece -- technically, at least.
A technical masterpeices, REALL!? My computer, no power house by any means, but very capable, can play most modern games on very high graphics settings at a playable frame rate, even if they are very large worlds/levels. The CQ, which is just a one room apartment, plays horribly on the exact same system. I'd say thats far from a technical masterpeice.

It's getting close to lunch time over there in Iceland, no? Still no official word on our concerns though.

Originally by: Zverofaust Edited by: Zverofaust on 24/06/2011 13:42:13 Think this sums it up nicely.
CCP should print that out, put it into a nice newsletter PDF format and distribute it their employees, purely to generate discussion only ofcourse.

Originally by: Grey Stormshadow It is, what, 16:07 in the Island and still no newsblog... looks like they are working overtime or forgot that they have (slightly ****ed) customers.
I think we're still in the "cooling off" phase CCP Pann was hoping for, we'll probably remain in this phase until next week when we finally start to get answers, it'll even been longer than that before we get answers without PR spin.

You do know that CCP Ohwell is NOT an actual CCP employee, he's a twitter troll. Yes, humorous at times, but just a twitter troll.

Originally by: London This might sound kind of silly, but maybe they are paving the way for a F2P Eve Online given the insane popularity of F2P games lately. I realize that you cannot sustain such an endeavor on a mere 8 items in the money store, but foreseeably for the future they would have ships/ammo/gear or premium level training much like World of Tanks.
Now I know this isn't what Eve's model is about, but hey... just my guess that they want to keep their options open given how rapidly the industry is changing.
I think that is EXACTLY what they're doing, and they want their subscribers to pay for the transition.

I'm glad this cooling off strategy is working for them, I'm sure by lunch on Monday this will have all blown over, they'll have sold 1400 monocles, and when they announce ammo for AUR, no one will be mad. YAY CCP!

Search Twitter for #tweetfleet for Twitter EVE discussions.
Is this guy that is writing the new DevBlog the same man that wrote the one with the $1000 jeans? If so, I don't think I need to hear any more of what he has to say. Someone new should try.

My my, how fast we get a response to the SOE buying CCP rumour, yet days and days pass for a response to our other concerns... I think it speaks volumes, way more than any DevBlog is going to say.

Quote: Trebor_CSM Robert Woodhead @ @DexIronmind Not today. As soon as possible. Cannot be more specific. #csm6 #tweetfleet
More stalling, CSM has done a great job expressing the importance of better communication from CCP! Pretty stuff up, cut stuff out, stall more, translate to other languages, stall more, and then release something that probably doesn't address all the concerns in a concise manner.
