Varg Altol Zebra Corp Gentlemen's Agreement 18	Posted - 2014.06.05 16:53:00 - [1] - Quote Can you put any ones minds at rest CCP. What with all the recent and very public departures, the closure of WOD and today's Guardian article and announcement of 50 redundancies ( http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/05/world-of-darkness-the-inside-story-mmo-ccp-white-wolf and http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/5/5782190/ccp-iceland-layoffs-eve-online ) its understandable that people would start to get worried about the state of CCP and the future of the Game we all love so much. I really hope for the best for CCP and EVE but this kind of news does make me worry.

Brendan Anneto Gladiators of Rage Fidelas Constans 24	Posted - 2014.06.05 16:55:00 - [4] - Quote People have been saying that "Eve is Dying since 2003" since 2003. I wouldn't be that worried about the situation. with the amount of current subscribers i don't see eve dying for a while yet. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.-á-á Proverbs 1:26-27

Worried? Seriously? EVE is a game. If CCP goes under, I'll just go play something else. Its all well and good saying that but for a large group of people this has been a hobby and a way of keeping up a social circle for 10 years. Thats a large chunk of any ones life and the effect of that dis-appearing would be very real.

Anna Karhunen Inoue INEXP 363	Posted - 2014.06.05 16:59:00 - [10] - Quote Layoffs as such do not make me worry. That is bound to happen sooner or later in big enough companies. What does make me worry is what the texts say about the leadership culture of the company. Sort of reminds me of other examples of similar stuff I have heard. Those cases just did not have happy endings for the companies in question - nor for the products and customers they had. As my old maths teacher used to say: "Statistics are like bikinis: It's what they don't show that's interesting". -CCP Aporia

Bagrat Skalski Poseidaon 1803	Posted - 2014.06.05 17:27:00 - [13] - Quote Quote: Publishing department They had something like this? What did they do in CCP? When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues. http://i.minus.com/ibeZ0sJewvDMBN.gif
Lady Areola Fappington New Order Logistics CODE. 1798	Posted - 2014.06.05 17:28:00 - [14] - Quote Thread Repeats Again OP Did Not Read The Sticky ISD Shall Lock The risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built and we want to keep that (infact, this is much more representative of the consensus opinion within CCP).
Brendan Anneto Gladiators of Rage Fidelas Constans 24	Posted - 2014.06.05 17:31:00 - [15] - Quote Posting again before thread lock I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.-á-á Proverbs 1:26-27

Dominus Tempus Brave Newbies Inc. Brave Collective 118	Posted - 2014.06.05 17:55:00 - [17] - Quote Eve is dying. It's been dying for the past 10 years, just like I've been dying for the past 22.
Sexy Cakes Have A Seat 749	Posted - 2014.06.05 18:08:00 - [18] - Quote "I once saw him looking over the shoulder of a programmer at some bit of User Interface the poor guy had hacked together. He straightened up, put fingers to lips and said, GÇÿNo, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhhGÇÖ He hissed on his ******* fingertips, like the air coming out of a bicycle tire, and then just walked away.GÇ¥ Please tell me he's talking about Hilmar here. Not today spaghetti.
Pine Marten Viziam Amarr Empire 16	Posted - 2014.06.05 18:13:00 - [19] - Quote Im not worried at all but GOD DAMN IM ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH AND ITS AN AWESOME READ! "One of the key new additions was the GÇ£Captains QuartersGÇ¥, which allowed your avatar to leave their craft and wander around a limited section of the gameGÇÖs space stations. The system was underpinned by CCPGÇÖs Carbon framework, a technology designed to allow the sharing of code between games; this would facilitate the transfer of WoDGÇÖs character movement technology to the Eve project. But development of Incarna was not going smoothly. GÇ£As little as a few weeks out from launch, the lead designers were still trying to add features to the CaptainGÇÖs Quarters,GÇ¥ says Blood. GÇ£But without the time or resources to properly do so, many things were left half-delivered, to be iterated upon later GÇô which never happened. CCP has an extensive track record of promising to return to features and never doing so. There was little discipline to the process.GÇ¥ Worst of all, according to Blood, the entire point of the expansion (walking around space stations) was let down by the Reykjavic officeGÇÖs art team; it took them nearly the entire development time to create one factionGÇÖs Captains Quarters. Yet again, the WoD team was asked to cross over in order to bail out an Eve expansion. Our sources say it took them a fraction of the time to create the one room station interiors for the other three factions. Blood recalls the friction between the teams on this point. GÇ£While it certainly vindicated the WoD artists in terms of work ethic, I remember it was a sore point between the offices that the much vaunted Icelandic crew had been so demonstrably shown up.GÇ¥
Sexy Cakes Have A Seat 749	Posted - 2014.06.05 18:16:00 - [20] - Quote Wooooo man I just got done reading that article and it does not show a good picture of CCP at all. I knew all these things about CCP had to be true the entire time I've been playing this game but to actually hear how bad it was is really vindicating personally. Not today spaghetti.
