Originally by: Strangely Attractive I realize your all having fun, but how much longer can this seriously continue, before EVE dies as a game. Ive already seen one new guy post here, saying pretty much the EXACT truth of the matter: The Game is 10 years ahead of its time. It can't support the huge fleet combat it advertises, the fleets get decimated by desync and lag, to which ccp constantly claims they have no knowledge (yes, you know you do, and no, all of your players are not making things up to make your job harder) and lately, the game cant even support itself under NORMAL conditions. Perhaps instead of insisting on adding things like heat (bleh) you should concentrate on making your game stable, so its actually playable for a few hours at a time. MAYBE, just maybe, then they would get the new players they so desperately desire.
I mean honestly, why redo your tutorial, nobody will pay to play a game, no matter how great the idea (and this is a great idea) if it constantly crashes like this. I HAD 4 accounts, ive cut 2, simply because my interest in a game that crashes constantly, is waning fast. Ill get blasted by the forum trolls for this, but honestly, can a moderator look me in the eye and tell me that this crap is good for business? Why develop your game any further when it has terminal node cancer? I realize its because we keep playing, and unfortunately for the player base, this will continue until, as a whole, CCP is made aware that its players will not stand for this poor performance on their part any longer.
Would you continue to make payments on a car that only started 4-5 days a week, or stalled out constantly? no. Would you buy a house that the electricity cut out in 2-3 days a week? no. Would you pay your ISP if they could only provide you with service 4-5 days a week? again, a solid no. Why should CCP get to be any different. I say all future material should be put on the back burner, and CCP should do whatever it takes to fix their constant server siezures, or the first game that comes along that comes even close to this will wipe this game off the map by stealing all its players.
you make a VERY good point...... have you checked out the rev3 blog yet???? it SHOULD help a little, and CCP is acknowledging it by maybe detaining the release of factional warfare, which does seem to indicate they have their heart in the right place. ----------------------------------------------- "Yes...
