CCP care to comment on the veracity of this?
It does explain better than anything else why CCP is hellbent on forcing MT and IP Licensing upon a blatently unwilling customerbase. It's not like CCP haven't been told for well over a year the majority do not want it. (example T'Ambers poll in CSM and following resignation)
It also explains why despite the protests, CCP are pushing ahead anyway.

The timing seems all right...
This news saddens me, I would say yay for Sony potentially being able to pump some serious cash into development for all games created by CCP. However I am deeply disappointed to know that this will mean micro transactions will dominate Eve.
CCP... please if you must at least make Sony agree to restrict micro transactions to vanity items... I promise to keep both accounts subscribed if you do!
Fallout help us :(
Edit: Timing...
Dust 514, PS3 exclusive
Eve - Incarna, Microtransactions and sudden silence from CCP
Star Wars Galaxy - Ends
CCP - Potential talk of financial problems (rumours)
Eve - died

No, EQ2 is dying off very slowly, they've consolidated servers for like the 4th time recently.

Not denying it isn't sketchy at best.
But CCP are forcing all this stuff through depsite the obvious resistance and this is a better explanation as to why than anything else. If this isn't why, then there's literally no explanation for CCPs destructive behaviour at all.

No, EQ2 is dying off very slowly, they've consolidated servers for like the 4th time recently.
I have played EQ II off and on since 2 weeks after it opened. They have not had a rash of consolidations. Even "recently". The last merges happened several months ago. One of them was my Najena server into Unrest which was something people asked for for a while (merging Najena).
Najena used to be the unofficial Aussie server, as people used to say.

It's a last attempt to save EVE from the financial locusts he accidentally sold CCP to. So all those bad updates are done to push down CCP's market value in a deal with Sony to buy it at a reduced price and for exclusivity with the Dust 514 franchise.

I'd put one my bets on Jumpgate Evolution, being that its been in a funding limbo for about 2 years now.
The other likely is Star Trek online since Crypic is more or less defunct, and looking to sell. Ironically enough by alienating their player base by focusing almost exclusively on micro-transaction released content.

Everyone says EQ II and this game has been dying for the past 7 years.
If this is true, and they don't change too much in the mechanics, then at least you can maybe pay with Station Access for all SOE games.

Actually they've changed a LOT over the last 2 years, and it's all been pretty good, I just wish a lot of it had been implemented sooner, they might have done better over the last couple years if all the improvements of the last 2 expansions had been put in place earlier.

Hey guys... nothing says "troll post" more than a completely ridiculous accusation with no evidence.
That, and with the "terrible email" being sent BEFORE the massive protests (thus not in reaction to the protests), I wonder if most of you protesters have thought about some of the "evidence" from EN24.

I managed to get on just before it went offline, here's the quoted news:-
Quote:
WeÆve recieved the following inside information by a CCP source who has asked to remain anonymous:
SONY and CCP are in talks of having SONY become a major partner, or even a controlling partner, in CCP, via stock acquisition. There is mounting evidence of various operations of the companies becoming closer in nature, function and style. With the recnt closure (24/6) of Star Wars Galaxies, the failed SOE SCI-FI flagship MMO, it may be the case that SOE is looking to acquire a stake in a leading Sci-Fi MMO.
EVE News is closely monitoring the matter and will update as more details emerge. Stay tunedà
While CCP continues to keep players in the dark and ignore their questions other players announce their department from EVE Online.
ôThis, along with some real life factors, are causing my shipÆs drives to power down. Triathlon race season is upon me and my major race, a Half Ironman, is coming up in 4 weeks; it is time for the last major push before race day. Additionally the recent CCP revelations and departure from their original mission statement (seriously CCP, re-read your mission statement), are pushing me into a timeout.ö û Blake

Could this be a diversion tactic by CCP to draw heat away from the raging protest in hopes the players take the lesser of two evils?
- Buying various game breaking items through micro transactions to keep the funds rolling in and CCP owners? (or)
- Dealing with Sony Online Entertainment as partners and all their past histories of cash grabs destroying games?

thou, since i heard DUST was gonna be PS3 exclusive , given i'm a paranoid androd, i feared that might be an option, and could actually explain some stuff, like:
CCP is tryin to trim the fat (in sony's opinon) off EVE, to make it more jucy for the big japanese borther

Was just re-reading the interview John Smedley gave to Massively regarding the closing down of Star Wars galaxies and this paragraph suddenly made a lot so sense.
Massively - "So you don't think that sandboxes (and sandbox systems) are dead for SOE? Will you ever make a new sandbox with SWG's pioneering features?"
John Smedley - "The answer is... stay tuned on the subject of sandboxes. We're super excited about the future of sandbox gaming. Let me just leave it at that!"

Also, if they're in negotiations, might explain why they've done **** all to address their community's concerns over the last few days because:
a) they're otherwise occupied
b) they don't know the future of the game under Sony
c) they actually have no control of the future of the game anymore

SONY and CCP are in talks of having SONY become a major partner, or even a controlling partner, in CCP, via stock acquisition. There is mounting evidence of various operations of the companies becoming closer in nature, function and style. With the recnt closure (24/6) of Star Wars Galaxies, the failed SOE SCI-FI flagship MMO, it may be the case that SOE is looking to acquire a stake in a leading Sci-Fi MMO.
EVE News is closely monitoring the matter and will update as more details emerge. Stay tunedà

Sure hoping the news item is troll and absolute fiction. But in the light of Dust exclussiveness for PS3, CCP's recent actions and the quoted piece of interview... I am cautious to dismiss it straight away. Best course of action - wait and see. Ofc with regards to Sony takeover gossip, the recent crysis with MT should be totally revised by CCP.
EDIT: Read about the Twit denying the buy-out... will do for now ;)

This could actually be a good thing. Devs will no longer be put in precarious positions of being in the middle of player vs producer wars like we are seeing now.
EVE and its dev teams will be better funded meaning YOU wont get screwed for every penny. With sony being asian, you might even see the subscriptions dissapear entirely in favour of a better micro-transaction system.. who knows ?.
It could be a good thing so I endorse the take-over.

Wouldent suprise me at all if its true. CCP has bitten off more than they can chew trying to develop too many games. MT is not going over like they had hoped, now they are facing money problems. In steps SOE to save the day!
If SOE takes over EVE, be prepared for half azzed content and buggy patches pushed out in pre-beta condition, MT for ships twice as good as can be in-game crafted, Ships that re-spawn after being destroyed, No more penalty to dieing, Slow painful death of the in-game crafting system, EVE devs fired for resisting changes, Deleting of all topics that say anything negitive towards EVE, lots of folks banned.
Ive seen it happen and so far, this past week has been all too familar.

Sorry but I really don't believe anything that is coming from CCP right now. They straight up lied to us about micro transactions, they left the CSM in the dark and have tried to talk their way out of it by sweet-talking the prices.
They have lied to us in the past, I do not believe a small twitter post, seriously. CCP Fallout can be left in the dark about such things.

CCP Fallout, you see, at this point it doesn't really matter whether it is true or not. The fact that your customers at this point think it might be true speaks volumes alone. Sony has a track record of being utter rubbish, many people actually hate this company.
That your current actions are viewed as even potentially in line with SOE policies and procedures should make you think really long and hard.

The other likely is Star Trek online since Crypic is more or less defunct, and looking to sell. Ironically enough by alienating their player base by focusing almost exclusively on micro-transaction released content.
This is wrong, in STO's case it is Atari who are looking to sell cryptic studios. Cryptic itself was one of Ataris most successful franchises last period..

This would make a lot of sense.
CCP is clearly strapped for cash. Probably because they've spent too much on DUST and World of Twilight.
Doing what they have done to EVE in the last 2 weeks reeks of the douchebaggery that John Smedley is infamous for. Ditching The NGE Game (I refuse to call that crap SWG) makes room for EVE on the Station Pass.
And, in many ways, this makes sense for SOE. CCP has what SOE doesn't have (and hasn't had since their best people fled in the wake of the NGE): Talented Devs.
CCP has some of the best in the business. Look, I have all the faith in the world in EVE's Dev team, I just have NONE in the management...

I have only one thing to say:
If SOE will become a partner of CCP, I have to leave.
They sold an update (for SWG) for a lot money and one day after that they changed the whole game (WOW Stile) and so they loose all old longtime members.
This was the day SWG (StarWars Galaxies) died.
After that, many of us are sure that SOE will never again get a single cent from us.
I will never again play a Game, where SOE is involved. But I will be very sad if I must leave Eve.

I must applaud how fast CCP came with an answer. People are still in a state of panic due to resent revelations and can easily assume the worst.
This. Thanks you for a fast answer on this one.

The story is 100% false. We are, and remain, an independent company.
I appreciate the swift response putting this one to bed.

Lying about stuff like this is rather perilous, legally, so what CCP fallout said is most likely accurate.
If you really want to be sure, our news people should contact Sony's PR and ask them; if they say "No" then that's it... If Sony lies about an acquisition, that will garner the attention of the SEC (since they're publicly traded in the US) and they don't want that.
For that to apply, they have to actually deny the rumor, not say "No Comment".

READ WHAT HE SAID! He never said it wasn't being sold. He only said it isn't Sony right now. He didn't say they would remain independant. He said they are currenty independant. All companies are until the sale date. Toll? Time will tell for sure.

No court in the world is going to hear: "Your honor, on Eve-O interwebs spaceship forums at this time."
Also in the sticky he put a time stamp and it has a date... they can simply date the talks with SONY as starting tomorrow for acquisition. That being said, what would be the point. I don't know but a fourm post has no legal issues for CCP employees.

They won't tell us that any more than they will tell us that the aurum outrage ends with overpriced vanity items.
Having SOE involvement in CCP would be the third kick to the nads this week, on top of the RMT bs, and the $99 extortion fee for players providing services to EVE players.
At the rate they are going this NGE is going it's going to end up worse than the first one.

And you people wonder why they aren't particularly worried about rushing out a blog in response to the troll storm.
It's doesn't matter what they say, you will drown them out with half baked theory crafting and ignore what was actually said.
The EVE Online forum community. An over developed sense of importance combined with the intellect and manners of a goat.

SOE is allready involved with CCP through dust. The question that was not answered by ccp fallout is wether that partnership will eventually transpire into (parts) of eve online. |

Thanks for the effort, Fallout. But unfortunately, I'm afraid it's not going to do much to quell the insanity that's emerged in the last few days.
Eve seems to have become a hiding place for a bunch of paranoid nutbags who can't distinguish real life from game life. We've seen serious comparison of what's happening here--in a game--to 9-11, the Iran protests, Syria, Tiannanmen Square, and other real life atrocities where actual people died.
While there's nothing in the ToS about borderline mental health issues, there are a few things about trolling and ranting in the forums, as well as intentionally disrupting the game experience.
I'm sure it takes some time to figure out who is and isn't in violation of the ToS--this post, for example, could be read by some as a rant, even though it's not intended to be so--but can you comment on whether CCP intends to address the ToS violations?

Don't <3 so fast. They can do a bulk asset transfer, remaining an independent company without any assests (like Eve). They could sell Eve and keep their other assets while remaining an independent company. You see, you cannot trust what people say, you have to go by what they do, or so a wise man once said.
