Thanks for the letter, good start
but results are needed to prevent this game from crashing.
one note in the "Letter" about eve being out of date in terms of subscriptions is totally backwards. eve is the only game i've come across that has an easy method to trade "game subscription time" for in game money, and facilitate real world money for game money, and make it work.
don't go thinking that the players that play for free actually play for free. they pay subscriptions like everyone else in the game, just they didn't pay cash, some one else did. really, Eve is ahead of other MMO games, you get both Free to play, and subscription payments, tapping both ends of the game player spectrum at the same time, with out unbalancing the game play. thumbs up to your ingenuity. You even wipe out the ISK (gold) Traders by permitting a legal in game way to trade ISK for real world money, and at the same time, give greater stability to the market, and take the money the Real world trades might have gotten.
This is the only Free to Play game that gives players full access to all game content, while still gaining CCP subscriptions at the same time!
The PLEXing players grind the ISK, resources and take fun from that. the "Paying" players, who have real cash to spend, who don't want to grind, but still like to PVP and cause general meham, they are the ones that pay the subscriptions. you can't have one group with out the other. You CAN NOT force the free to play group to pay for game content, because they will leave. you can't force the Paying group to grind for their ISK, they will leave. your current billing, subscription, economic model for the game is the future, all other games will eventually follow what CCP has accomplished here. Please for the love of all things precious, don't go backwards to a broken model.
for game play, we don't need new ships (which will add vast amounts of instability to the game).
EVE needs to fix the existing content, bugs found and squashed, and the damn broken Corporation permissions system needs to be fixed, desperately.
you could stop adding content to the game for a whole year, and just fix existing content, and people will still be joining the game, and old players will return. the game is as strong as its most broken component, and it won't matter how many new "mostly good" components are added, if the broken parts are not fixed.
so much about EVE is wonderful, a step ahead of its competitors, lets not try and step to what is current, but keep going forward further and further ahead of the rest of the pack.
