Verite Rendition Caldari F.R.E.E. Explorer Atrum Tempestas Foedus	Posted - 2008.04.16 15:17:00 - [1] Edited by: Verite Rendition on 16/04/2008 15:19:49 I'm probably going to Hell/Jita for this. But I've been up for 24 hours, and it seems like a good idea Yesterday morning, the Pirates of the Burning Sea operations team began a plan to consolidate the 11 PotBS servers to 4. The subscription numbers for the game have not been very good, resulting in individual server populations being very low and requiring consolidation to keep the game moving. As many of you may have experienced with other MMOs, server consolidation is usually followed by a complete collapse & closing of the game not too far in the distant future, as players continue to leave the game. Ergo Pirates of the Burning Sea is in deep trouble. So I make this plea to BoB: please go save the game you secretly love, quit EVE and switch to PotBS to prop up the game's subscriber numbers and to bring yarring to a new audience. It will be tough here in EVE without you, but we're a strong community and will be able to, in time, get by without you. CCP too has the kind of subscriber numbers where they can absorb your loss, if just barely. Please think of all of those Pirates of the Burning Sea players who are at risk of losing the game they love. Be their knight in shining armor and go save their game. We have been graced with your presence far too long when so many others are in need. PS Anyone else on my red list (such as Razor or MM) are free/encouraged to go play PotBS too.

Lizaa Caldari Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.04.16 15:31:00 - [6] ya know, i tried the beta, and tbh,its total pants. there is far more yarrage in ΞVΞÖ then there is in that game. I say let it do its death roll, and be forgoten. ΞVΞÖ is ftw. *Lizaa* Director of GriefTactics StudiosÖ
Aypse D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.04.16 15:37:00 - [7] Originally by: Gloomy Gus I don't get it how do the goons fit into this post? You are supposed to join them in POTBS. They are the Canadians and you are the cannibalistic natives on that island in the Caribbean. Initially they will kick your ass pretty badly. When all looks lost, you will rally and then drive them back to 1 single port. When you are within 1 nautical mile of your goal, you will stall out. The cycle will then start again.

Xue XinMao West Wind Waylanders	Posted - 2008.04.16 16:02:00 - [10] Its one hek of a boring PVP game. Nice looks and all, but they decided to go the carebear way, So let it die. Its idiotic how many threads there was before release to consider changing the way the game works. Sticking to basic ftw.

Skoot Gallente Corp 1 Allstars Insurgency	Posted - 2008.04.16 16:07:00 - [12] PotBS is good for a whole week or so, then its just repetitive. I did the beta, after waiting for years for it to come out. And was disappointed. No MMO has anything on eve tbh. P.S. In before the lock/move
Omega Man The Geddy Foundation	Posted - 2008.04.16 16:13:00 - [13] a lot of Goons must be looking for a new challenge. If they log in quick, they might even be able to convince themselves they were the cause of the game collapsing. Go Goons. - - Happy user of CAOD troll cleaner http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=584345

Suboran Gallente Victory Not Vengeance Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.04.16 17:31:00 - [17] potbs is a good game but when i played it it felt as if it was to controlled and the map wasnt quite big enough, and in the end i didnt want to play a spawn camping quest tour levels game.

Nick Curso Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.04.16 17:38:00 - [19] I QUIT!
Aeleva Caldari Hegemonic Core	Posted - 2008.04.16 17:42:00 - [20] POTBS is really just a PVE game. I played beta and it felt broken on a very basic level. I think they just took the whole concept the wrong way. EVE definatly offers more open ended play.
Draconian Arcane Minmatar Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:09:00 - [21] What are you talking about. EVE is not a game.

Vagra Minmatar Gods Unwanted Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:18:00 - [23] ATF should leave eve and help you out. ---------------- ----------------
Stu Bidaso Drunken Can Humping Lemmings	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:26:00 - [24] If BoB leaves to play that who will be left to work on expansion packs for EVE?
Mr McDee Ancient Crew	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:32:00 - [25] ATF got no balls, did I get it right? "Oh God please! Let all my enemies be gone to PoTBS please I beg ya!" Pathetic.
Haradgrim Tyrell Corp INTERDICTION	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:35:00 - [26] Let PotBS die, not nearly enough Yarr -- Originally by: CCP Oveur ...every forum whine feels like a baby pony is getting killed
BlackPrince Trinity Nova Trinity Nova Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:56:00 - [27] Edited by: BlackPrince on 16/04/2008 18:56:38 PotBS is dying because they broke pvp in the game, especially if you're a pirate. What's worse, is other than PvP being broke, the game is also incredibly boring.
Serenity Steele Dynamic Data Distribution Ministry of Information	Posted - 2008.04.16 19:00:00 - [28] IIUC POTBS is broken because PvP is instanced. You might get a better result posting on all those threads where people whine about large blob fleet battles and limited opportunity in EVE for solo combat
BlackPrince Trinity Nova Trinity Nova Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.16 19:03:00 - [29] There's plenty of opportunities for small gang/solo PvP in Eve, you just have to know where and how to look for it. Those whining about the only fights available are in 300 man blobs might want to leave Goonies and et al and join a smaller Alliance/Corp that doesn't play POS Pong.
flakeys Tier 3 Technologies Inc Lazy is our middle name	Posted - 2008.04.16 19:16:00 - [30] In a month AOC comes out with open pvp...think that's more to BOB's liking then POTBS to be honest .
