Started training for a freighter 1 month ago.
less than 24 hours to go until all skills completed.
Odyssey is released.
24 days left for freighter all over again.
24hrs too late.
Have to be able to fly the ship before the new expansion. It can be cooking in the queue with 1 min remaining before downtime, but it was 1 min you still couldn't fly that hull.
It's why they advised people who were cramming to fly Command ships before the new expansion to not only insert the skill, to make sure to level it to 1.

#1 - Forum use not required to play this game.
#2 - Launcher not user friendly, very small and buggy.
#3 - News section in character selection screen, not reliable and buggy.
#4 - In-Game Browser use not required to play this game, not reliable and buggy.
#5 - Newsletter definitely not reliable and mostly non-existent.
Within my 5 yrs of playing this game I've never received a Newsletter from CCP. Twice I've received a regular Email message to partake in a survey. All other notifications from CCP are automatically created, such as a response to petition or administration warning or notice about subscription expire / renewal.

EDIT:
CCP sent everyone a notice in-game to vote for the CSM. They can surely do the same for important changes to the game which will affect everyone.
I see a lot of new characters all stroking the same BS, obviously they have either too much time on their hands due to having no real life or simply just don't play the game.
Noted.
Quality of life improvements that helps.
In WoW there's much more announcements -- it doesn't matter what site you visit, it will have a run down of pending changes -- so even if the player may not know the intricate patch details, he can be prepared for the changes weeks in advance.
Most players will not visit or partake in forums (they're usually troll filled and worse). Which is why launchers exist with links to the page with the details (and to make sure it doesn't get lost with other junk to not get noticed -- launchers tend to be filled with ads). Again WoW's launcher has the text links in the middle, and ads around it, with the feature article on top. Players still will log into the game via the exe file though. I don't use their launcher (annoying), as again, WoW sites that I keep up 24/7 have all the game details needed. I will state this: Wowhead, wowhead, wowhead. Any game needs a site like that for game news; quests; item looks ups ***and linking***.

Not really.
Returning players or new players exist, and they won't remember all the sites or what not to keep abreast of the ins and outs.
If anyone wants to know how WoW is the #1 MMO, just look at all the content sites they have, that breaks down the jargon and even links to the items with detail descriptions of what it is or isn't. There's no need to be a Elitist Jerk about such information. There's no brownie points making it difficult to find, read and understand (those wanting the technical details will visit the Elitist Jerks web site for that).
This all comes down to presentation and polish. It separates A from AAA quality. And being satisfied in substandard communication doesn't help the game.
EvE needs it's own Wowhead. That site finally has a Blizzard CSM there, to ensure consistency with the official site. Same can be done with CCP (because if these devs ban players from the official sites [which can be a lot of players], they have to get the info from off sites! Duh!).

And that's the problem.
Centralized source for information is critical. So centralized players know it as well as Evemon and Battleclinic.
So centralized that if you only followed one site, you're not in the dark.

And word to wise: notice those generalized ship skills like Assault and Heavy Assault Ships? Skill them to 5, because the scheme is breaking them down to racials. Just like they did with battleships, and now battlecruisers.

Skill them to 5, because the scheme is breaking them down to racials. Just like they did with battleships, and now battlecruisers. Please do not misinform people. CCP have explicitly confirmed that the T2 skills will not be racialised. Also, the battleship skills have been racial since the beginning of the game, they have never ever been a generic skill.
And both of you believe devs will never back down on their "word"?
