Originally by: spajdrik Earth and Beyond is still running? where? 
I was using Irony, "we all know which is still running" (meaning 55% EvE).
(Again that was PC GAMER US, so the review was Bad, like the quality of their journalism)..

You know, it saddens me - there are a lot of people looking and replying to this thread showing they are interested in the media coverage of EVE, yet the one blatent post thats sticked that only requires you to vote has been read less.
GO Vote for EVE NOW - you know it makes sense, if anything the article in PCGamer proves that EVE deserves to be the winner  --------------------------------- No Slugs were harmed in the creation of this signature --------------------------------- |

Acctualy since beta PCG UK has dedicated about 18 full pages to EVE which is more than any other MMO... (that I can remeber I only started subscribing 2 years ago)

Edited by: Dash Ripcock on 02/08/2005 10:34:58 They are good articles, and to be fair PC Gamer UK spend quite a lot of time constructing pieces that really cast a scrutinising eye upon the player-run structure of EVE. As well as the article concerning GH-SC's heist, there is also an article reflecting upon what matters more: a world created for players (WoW), or a world created by the players (EVE).
The most rewarding part of the former article discusses the moral aspect of where to draw the line between 'game' and 'reality', and whether there should be a line at all. I am personally of the opinion that actions like that of the GH-SC should take place in our space-based microcosm. Along with adding emotional weight to proceedings, it balances the more traditional 'hero' aspect of MMOs. Where's the fun in a fairy tale if there aren't any villains?

I think the reason that PCG UK often feature EvE-related content is that at least a couple of their regular writers are long-time EvE players. It'd be interesting to know who they are, but I guess that going public would expose them to unwelcome annoyance.
And yes, PC Gamer UK is a little more, er, thoughtful than the US version from what I've seen. Although Kieron Gillen does have an unfortunate propensity to think he's God's gift to gaming journalism.

From what I've seen it just seems to be their way of doing things, with all the various articles on MMOs in the magazine obvious that they spend a hell of a lot of time playing them to make sure they get the reviews right.

as long as CCP keep throwing up new features that however run properly and keep the lags to a minimum - also upgrading the backend servers to the newest equipment. And boost their profits but dont go down the WOW route or the EA route then they will do ok. The media coverage helps but what they need is more trial accounts to be converted into paying accounts.

This is the September issue, right? I've been to 7 stores in Stockholm looking for that magazine. When I finally found the August issue and opened it with trembling hands I couldn't find the article.

Isn't it great that some gaming publications are actually paying attention to EVE? It would be great if this coverage translated to greater interest on the part of the gaming public, and lead to more subscribers.
Game publishing isn't exactly a goldmine, so why don't we just all go buy the magazine, and support the publication that supports us?

An honest question....
Which of these would inspire folks to join EVE more?
The exploits of GH-SC's months-long infiltration and theft of a multi-billion ISK organisation?
Or two months after being declared 'dead' by GH-SC, that organisation literally redrawing the map after a successful campaign in the Bleak Lands against all comers, and forcing a major NPC faction to it's knees? (a first for EVE)
Then again, kinda makes for a glorious story arc if ya combine the two....
Obiously you have some ISD in your corp/alliance or were given a hint and they wanted to roleplay the whole thing out. It's not like you just randomdly deciding to roleplay against the Blood Raiders actually caused to the Bloods to retreat from the Bleak Lands.
It needed to happen for an RP perpose and you guys got the play the "winners".
EDIT: Scan I want to read too  _________________________________________________________

I wish CCP would at least attempt to put some effort into marketing in the US. I haven't seen an add or article outside of penny-arcade in like 2 years.
I swear there's more people on Aussie times than US times. If it wasn't for downtime, it'd probably take the lead.

its sad really, as i see it most americans are too dammed lazy to play eve, ohhh this game is boring, i cant just start it up and start grinding mobs and have "fun" In eve you actually gotta go out and look for fun and do it in so many ways, and however you want. It seems americans are just way too lazy and want their content spoon fed to them. This is why games such as wow do so good out here, and games like eve get crap reviews... (and at the time eve was reviewed by PCgamer EVE was nearly an entire different game content wise)

It is "however" against the law to scan & distribute.. Scanning it so you can look at it when you want is fine, just dont give a copy of your scan out..

As well as highlighting the consideration that you can infiltrate other organisations (without actually mentioning that unless you're dumb enough to try with a character thats already been used to do this or is currently a member of a corp known for doing this then theres going to be no way of tracing any links or past history to identify an infiltrator)and steal everything they own it also indocates that the same can be done for you. Given that players aren't keen on losing all their hard earned skills (note a mistake in the article suggests being podded results in you reverting to a previous clone and losing skills rather than activating a new clone and only losing skills if you've been lazy) and items and suchlike , will this actually encourage some new ones or discourage more ? As an aside isn't the main push into the chinese market who seem to take their gaming a little too seriously (sell my sword I sell you to the steamed bun merchant )

LOL 4 pages of people asking for scans... Damnit, someone just scan it in...
Isn't it illegal to rip music to your HDD and use a P2P programme too?
Surely if someone scanned it and posted a link for their own personal use, that would be ok...?
