The Story Of SoonÖ
CCP and the playerbase, back when they were united in the pursuit of excellent gaming, used to have a bit of an in joke which some of you newer players might not now about. When asked when a feature would be implemented in game, or a particular bug fixed the devs would reply with "soonÖ"
Funny for a while, it soon became dull and overused, and soon(sic) even the bravest of devs would baulk at responding to a player who was waited three years for his properly filled, csm approved, ccp summit agreed, feature to be implemented with
"IT VILL BE SOONÖ JA! LOLOLOLOL"
SoonÖ appeared to be consigned to the dustbin. Perhaps long and detailed discussions were made about it in what we are assured is the worlds most expensive toilet paper - the inhouse CCP fearless magazine. Lest we forget, as Hilmarggh purportedly put it, fearless is a "company value", and valuable it is...
It has excellent absorption and you get to wipe your posterior on your various bosses faces.
And so it was SOONÖ died a death. But LO, it appears it had not died, mearly gone to ground. It resurfaced in a post made by CCP yesterday.
Originally by: CCP The CSM helped CCP understand the emotional connection players had with äship spinning". They vehemently demanded the return of the feature, which CCP committed to introduce in some form at a future date. Until that functionality is added back in, the option to load station environments will remain in the Settings menu.
introduce in some form at a future dateÖ
And so new joke was spawned, but not one shared between CCP and the player base. The jokes on us.
SOONÖ had simply gone to ground and mutated into a even more ghastly form. Now we are not only fobbed off with no timescale for a problem being fixed, we are told it will only be fixed in some form
Hookah for the CSM. They travelled 3000 miles and came back with a SOONÖ. The Chairman of the CSM reports he will feel sick for a week after returning. So he should do! And not because of all the free booze he quaffed.

I have not bothered commenting on the latest patch before now.
The problem, as I see it, is the lack of stuff to do in this expansion. CCP oversold the new technology. They forgot to add playable content like a cantina at each station.
Sure if you look at the pacth notes there are a lot of hard to do features in it. New turrets, new environment (captains closet,) and CarbonUI/Bluenet. My point is that those features will not satisfy the CCP customer base. CCP cultivated a playerbase along the principle of "a new content release every 6 months or so."
Now they have failed to deliver a full meal and must run fast to hold on to their customers. They will have until late this year to introduce actual incarna content, and they will have to do that while also delivering content for the next patch.
I partly with the original poster. SoonÖ never did die off, it's just not funny any more.

This topic is getting old and boring. You prolly want to keep whining about things that are long gone.
And what have my number of posts to do with anything ?

SoonÖ used to apply to good expansions and upgrades that players longed for.
We don't get those now, so nobody becomes impatient for promised things to happen any more. Sadly, SoonÖ is no longer relevant. We spend our time colouring our posts instead.
Get over it! Learn from your mistake and move on. |

A bunch of typos and some stuff that i have no idea what he is referring to.

If you want to be taken seriously, spell-check your work. It's easy, when you typo, there is a little red line under the wrod, like that one. What you then do, is your right-click on the misspelled word and pick one of the options.
You are WRITING to people, so take your time and form a coherent, legible sentence. Otherwise, you are only asking to be mocked and ridiculed.

Go to this thread in assembly hall and ask (post with a thumbs up) the CSM to pester CCP about publishing a dev roadmap for Eve.

meme fail
sorry, but the first game company to get the SoonÖ meme was not CCP, it was CRS
Cornered Rat Software, makers of wwiionline invented the gross misuse of soon and the players trademarked it. this is before eve was even in closed beta as I recall ------------------------------------------------ There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers just exactly what the universe is for and why we are here, that it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. Then there is a theory which states that this has already happened. á á -Douglas Adams

SKUNK
Okay, you asked me for proof, so I clicked on "Quote" at the original post, and sure enough, it copied everything you wrote, including the typos.
We can start with "playerbase" which, if you pulled your head from your ass, you would see has a red underline. What you do is right-click on it and it offers "player base" and (my favorite) "player-base." Same applies to "inhouse" that one ALSO has a red underline to let you know it's not right.
Moving on, we find "mearly" which could be "merely" or "nearly" based on the context of the sentence. I don't care enough to reread it to find out, you asked for proof.
Finally, we find "travelled" which, according to the spellchecker only has one "l" not two.
There, was that enough proof Skunk?

No actually.
I was originally expecting you to return me a big list of spelling mistakes which I was then going to edit out of my OP, in the interests of aiding your childlike comprehension skills.
However, after going mental about my dire spelling you produce only 4 errors.
Spelling of inhouse and travelled are fine. Learn to spellcheck!
inhouse travelled
As you point out, the spelling of playerbase is up for grabs really as its a bit of a mish mash term. I decided to remain consistent and stick to the method used in "inhouse" and use no space or hyphen.
This leaves the only correct proof you provide as a misspelling of the word "merely" as "mearly". One spelling error in the entire piece without using a spellchecker. Im sure you will admit that's damn good.
As for the spelling error I plan to change it in some form at a future dateÖ
In the meantime I would advise you to:
A) Work on your reading comprehension skills, as you will encounter the occasional spelling errors in life, and you will have difficulty in life if you are unable to circumvent these hurdles to discover the meaning behind them
B) Study some of the differences between different version of English in particular Queens vs American English.
C) Seek medical help for possible diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder.
D) Try to live without your spellchecker. Set aside one day a week where you will not spellcheck anything and use your inbuilt skills to check your work. Spellcheckers are a tool to assist, not to take over.

A 'firm' date for implementing the ship spinning hangar is the least that CSM could have negotiated. I mean with all the compromises on the rest of the issues. I'm pretty disappointed in the CSM's negotiating prowess. ... Return the Old Hangar Back... for Immersion.

The spell checker he's using is American.

Yeah anybody who took comfort in those words will regret it, i can just imagine what the new version of ship spinning will be, if we ever get it & if CQ is their idea of Excellence. Meh, wont be here come to think of it, I'm out on the 14th.

Spell-checking other's threads, seriously? You must be the life of the party..
The post is perfectly legible, even though its author (OP) comes off as a little insecure when he addresses your obvious trolling.
In any case..

Well put. The new SOONÖ is at least an order of magnitude more ****ed than it's predecessor. I only hope its fist application on a feature (hangars view) won't come close to its awesome potential.
And then there's this:
Originally by: "CSM" an environment that will provide similar functionality and performance to the pre-Incarna Hangar, and this environment will be available until Incarna performance is similar to pre-Incarna performance.
Could it be we're looking at a new "SOONÖ to be removed soon after"?

Yes Ianus, re your sig, it could have been, such a shame CCP has nothing but obvious contempt for it's player base these days, there is no other explanation for the absolute rubbish they have released & passed off as an acceptable upgrade to the game we had prior to INCARNAMAGEDDON.

Hah, the sig.. our little sandbox is shattering, stop throwing monocles at it! But still have an itty-bitty tiny hope that stuff will start moving in the right direction before my sub expires in a couple of months. I doubt it'll be better than what we had pre-incarna...
But it might be enough to stay. I'll replace the glass cover on my signature then.

Really? You're *****ing about this? Four words? God I don't understand how your able to exist without medication for your OC. Get the stick out of your ass or screw off. I am sure you'll feel much better once you relax a bit.
I am getting tired of hearing "Soon" and "At a later date". It is exactly what I say when I want to get out of doing housework. A more reassuring statement is "We're working on (insert bug fix here) and you can expect it (insert time/date)". I am a bit worried that the new patches will just be forgotten or delayed in favor of a larger project. The have said progressively over the summer but I'm not counting on it.
