Edited by: riverini on 06/07/2011 19:52:58 EN24, your invitation somehow got "lost" along all the hate mail
Many of our readers have been questioning why we haven't covered the much touted CCP press conference, truth is that we weren't informed of it, and we were like cool, we got so much **** to write about and other sites has been covering it.
But then I find this in my facebooks:
- Eve News24 so far haven't received an invitation, neither we were aware that the whole thing was going to be handled over "skype", so there is some bull**** thrown on the facebooks tubes.
- We won't cover the Press conference Q/A grounded on two facts:
- Since we weren't invited, we deducted that it wasn't in CCP's best interests to have EN24 covering the PR op despite being the third biggest Eve Online news site and the third Biggest eve related site after Eve-Kill.net and Dotlan. - Secondly, Eve News24 features mostly "original content", the coverage of this has been handled by "professional news sites"
Is it our desire to state that we wish the success of CCP's "vision" for the Eve Online, Dust and WoD project as long as it doesn't affects the integrity of the game, we believe that this is the position shared by the large majority of the players.
Finally we would like to state that Internet Spaceships are Serious Business.

Originally by: CCP Manifest We'd been in contact with General Windypops, who had accepted, and who had approached us on behalf of EN24 for comment following Incarna release. He didn't reply to several Skype invites or repeated emails after the initial affirmation of his attendance.
Fair enough as we have been in contact with CCP Abathur regading all CCP related news.

If your rag has been in contact with CCP and vice-versa, what's up with the post? Trolling for more page hits?
erhm... Neither CCP Abathur of Windypops are related to CCP or EN24 respectively...

Originally by: CCP Manifest Next time we'll come straight to you, but as Windy was the one who approached us following the NeX stuff, seemed logical to reply to him. Did he not run it by you/did you not know he was invited?
Abathur, while undoubtedly an amazing information source, isn't a CCP employee anymore, so if you are looking to get a quote or interview or whatever with CCP, shoot me an email.
We are cool, the op is intended so CCP knows why the issue wasn't covered in detail and avoid bad faith speculation.

Originally by: CCP Manifest Hmm, well Windypops approached us on behalf of EN24 in late June... oh well.
We certainly didn't think there was bad faith or anything, just curious as to why Windy didn't show up. Understood of the coverage angle you guys want to take on it, but if you want to do a "makeup" session, just let me know.
This goes for future stuff as well. Like you said, you guys are a place EVE players go for news and opinion pieces. I will clarify in the sticky thread.
It's all good
peace R

This will be the closest that Eve News24 ever admits to not being a professional news site.
Start me paying top bucks for coverage and we'll get pro :P
