This is something i honestly did not expect but is very, very much appreciated. Even with all the turmoil of the last year, i havent found an mmo that could topple eve in its pvp niche, but i did not expect it to stay that way for long anymore. This however gives me hope.
There are many things to iterate on, that will enhance the quality of the game greatly. FiS things, some of which already mentioned in the blog. Keep those in your focus and this 2004 player may stick with you for another 7 years. |

It takes a big man to step up and take responsibility. This is probably one of the most comforting, and potentially amazing blogs I've ever seen in the history of EVE. You said you've wanted to re-instill the trust of the players in CCP and with EVE itself. Well, Hellmar, you've freaking gone and done it.
I've also read the blog that was released shortly after your own, and I seriously don't think you understand the magnitude of what you've done here. Our TS went from talking about absolutely nothing related to EVE, to an explosion of (what we would equate to) cheering. Every single one of us is excited as **** for all this to come to fruition.
In the eyes of this pilot, you've got my attention and trust. You've figured out all the things we've been screaming for (what seems like) years and decided to fix many of them in one fell swoop. If things work out like we all imagine, you'll have our complete trust and support for many years to come.
Thanks for this Hellmar. We hope to see big things from you all, and while I'm uneasy saying this (which is justifiable given the past), you seem to have the direction which you need to go. |

Wait? What? NO! I don't care about my avatar, I want the idiot pictures turned off again like in the old days where I had to click a portrait to view his/her face. This insane focus on the visual experience will be your down fall!
What I want is the game to run smoothly on current hardware, by that I mean current, not some ******** bleeding edge expensive vacuum making an insane amount of noise toaster oven that cost me USD 3000.
CCP has failed again and again in delivering ANY kind of graphics performance - and why the hell are ATI lagging so far behind in performance its almost a crime?
This alone should be enough to focus on getting the core stuff working before launching new ******** graphics intensive stuff - and then I have not even begun talking about the myriad of bugs that plagues Eve like we were part of the dark ages.
Seriously, fix stuff, that's all the players ask for, not this utter crap you deliver.

I am going to give you a great big hug tomorrow ! |

Thank you CCP Hilmar for the apology. As a former Ceo and a Director I understand just how hard it is to say I'm sorry. This is a game that is easy to love, due to the hard work between CCP and the players. I look forward to the future with Eve.
Since this is a sandbox game, and one of the most wonderful and equally frustrating things about the game, maybe the player base can start by trying to do something about nullsec. Not a clue what atm, but what the hey.

Looking forward to the follow on where you detail how you're going to commit to the new path. Please believe that we still wish you every success, and that all we've ever wanted was to sincerely help you make EVE the flagship of the entire MMO community. As I still believe it should be.
As I still believe it can be.
You said you were going to watch what we did. I know what you were thinking when you wrote those words, but let me recast them for you in another way. EVE is a sandbox, In the MMO world, EVE should stand for community, for partnership between players and developers, for continual evolution, for the greatest social experiment in gaming history.
Give us the opportunity to work with you, give us the tools to reshape this gorgeous, vicious, intriguing, unparalleled universe and then, by God, watch what we do with them.
Don't let us down and we won't let you down.
Deal?
I like this.

I do not agree with everything you said, but that is to be expected, I do however feel you came to a moment of insight that put the priorities of CCP back on track this pleases me and I am sure others.
I applaud you for your honesty, it is not an easy thing to write something like that. Now we will be watching. - [img]http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/janus/ceosig.jpg[/img] [yellow]English only please. Zymurgist[/yellow] |

Great blog, fully honest and heartfelt.
Well done sir, it takes a brave man to admit what you've admitted. I'm pretty sure that if the Winter Expansion delivers, you'll see numbers climbing back up again and old faces returning. We all love this game, or we wouldn't get so passionate about it.
Long live EVE!
And best of luck in your future games too. |

Brilliant!
As a new player (of 3 months) I had wonderd if I'd made a mistake and entered the New Eden universe just as it was heading for the Big Crunch and a mass exodus of players. I'm so relieved that your blog post appears to signal a new dawn for Eve in general.
Congratulations CCP, to all the CSM members and the players that voiced their concerns so effectively. I'm really looking forward to a truly awesome Eve Online.

To see this from CCP's head officer is reassuring. Despite all the posts in here that say 'they are just words' They are HUGE words and a shift in attitude.
Let this be the beginning of a CCP that is back to it's roots, back to being EVE the gaming community that was/should always be the envy of all MMOG communities.
Many a player has shown faith by holding onto EVE in the darkest of times. This blog shows you reaching out and having faith in your customers instead of the past impression we got of CCP customers being taken for granted. For showing this faith and reaching out I am resubbing all my accounts to ensure that my part is being paid to ensure all CCP employees are well paid from the top to the bottom, well paid and comfortable enough to make my game better.
I understand the projects on your plate are distracting (dust/WOD), but do not lose sight of CCP's cash cow. Do not lose sight of EVE.
I am tired of seeing less and less of my friends log in, lets change that CCP. |

That's a big humble pie there Hilmar and you ate it all, crumbs and everything.
For me personally you didn't have to "grovel" and a "ok, we ****** up. lets be friends again" would have sufficed but I understand the necessity to convey it properly. If you come true on your words and deliver properly worked out improvements and show us that you understand which parts of EVE need attention the most we'll love you long time.
What I've been missing is someone going "no, it's not good enough. Try AGAIN" in your team, someone who understands the old eve, wants to excel and demands quality. Like that new cyno you have on sisi; someone should take control and go "no, we strive for something much cooler, this won't do. We will NOT implement half assed stuff again".
If you do what we want you to do, be passionate about EVE and demanding nothing but the best for her, you'll have the most loyal player base of all MMOs out there, again.
Excuses are the refuge of the weak. |

Good blog. Certainly a good step in the right direction. I must admit, this made me nervous:
Quote:Let me be blunt: Unless the MMO business changes radically, our virtual goods strategy for EVE Online will remain limited in scope and focus on vanity items, or as we said after the CSM visit this summer: The investment of money in EVE should not give you an unfair advantage over the investment of time.
To me that says if the entire industry moves in the pay to win format, so will we. That scares me. |

That's a good idea. And to unsubbed players as well. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Props to CCP and Hilmar for getting their stuff sorted, it's been a long time coming for the (terrible) EVE community.

Man, I wish I had been a fly on Hilmar's wall the past few days .. the sighs, gnashing of teeth and uncomfortable moans that must have accompanied the realization he has come to must have been glorious
Top notch grovelling, will read again.
PS: You are right. Eve can be so much more, but like any baby can attest .. running before walking can have some rather nasty (and often bloody) repercussions. |

This is very encouraging but i do hope you guys truely know the damage that has been caused.
I just hope that some of the changes are going to involve the restoration of the immersion that for me, and for so many others, has been shattered.
I never truely appreciated until the incarna patch just how SERIOUS this business was to me, and how REAL it felt as a result.
Indestructable, magically spawning out-of-thin-air clothes, buried in some god awful disgusting seedy & greedy cash shop that was staring me in the face everytime i logged in, did it for me more than any lack of ship spinning ever could.
I am hoping that with your new found "insight" you will be able to see that such a monstrosity has no place in our *once* beautiful world, and that is coming from a guy that was desperate to play dress up with barbie.
For me, for business to get serious again, you are simply going to have to take measures that restore the integrity of the sandbox which, up until incarna, was intact.
A really good place to start would be to get players to start making those clothes, probably from bpc's or whatever, and integrate the whole process into the normal market functions so it works just the same as any other manufactured item with it's organic nature of supply and demand in our PLAYER DRIVEN SANDBOX. (remember that?)
As soon as you have done that please find the box you ticked to make those clothes indestructable, and then, you know, UNTICK IT. (quite important that bit, really.)
The next thing to do is take your prices, and then reduce them by average, about 95%. Start with Joe, and work your up dude, not the other way round.
Once you have been kind enough to do those things i would really appreciate it if the items that you can actually manufacture bear some kind of resemblance and connection to the lore of eve online.
Seeing generic, sci-fi inspired drivel does not immerse me in the world of eve, it's just another slap in the face to remind me that what i am doing is just wasting time on a stupid computer game. I do not want to play a stupid computer game, i want my serious business back.
I honestly believe that is possible to combine serious business with serious clothes. What i believe you cannot do, is attempt to combine serious business with the HATS OF TEAM FORTRESS 2.
Serious business needs serious clothes, you get me?
Phil.

Turning the 'oil-tanker' of CCP might take some effort, but a blog like this shows you are starting to lean on the helm.
Good work. Keep these things coming and you'll see the tide turn.

if you community doesnt understand how his love of eve may have blinded him some then you dont deserve a CEO like him. i enjoy this game thoroughly. i dont view what he did as making mistakes, just as things that were not clarified. im defensive about this game myself but patience is a SKILL in eve you must train :) |
