Hello CCP,
For the NON forum warriors, I think it would be nice to have a "The Plan" thread, where CCP tells us when the next Patch is coming out and what they currently working on, it doesn't have to be in depth, just a superficial glance and allows those more transient people to have one place to look for this stuff. I recognize we already have dev blogs as an option, but not all interesting stuff is there.
Just a though to aid communication.

The information portal is of limited utility. While it does provide a good place to find things, it isn't exhaustive and is very cluttered. I check the Dev Blogs, the IP, the general forums, etc, however it does take a fare bit of effort to stay current, effort that many of us repeatedly and somewhat of a wasted effort do. |

I agree, why not?
Call it "The Plan", "Game News", "Info Resources" or something, sticky and lock it only for CCP to post latest patchnotes and links to other information threads etc.
The average EVE Forums visitor probably never read much outside of General Discussion, and this would make it easier for everyone to find and make use of I think..

Even if it were just a collection of Links to the relevant posts, that would be grand.

The information portal seems much less cluttered up than it was under old the forums, but I see your point. I find it practical to subscribe and set some RSS feeds under my favorite mail client. This way, I get to sort what I want to get and when it's out, it is delivered to my "door" still hot :)
Plus, you get to add some external sources as well, if you desire.

I suspect much the same is said within CCP |

What you are asking for used to exist - the "Patch Notes" section did not just have the "In Testing" subsection but also "In Development" and "The Drawingboard" subsections that did roughly outline features planned for the future.
They took these sections down at some point in 2010 after people started to complain that there hadn't been any updates for over one and a half years...
If you are curious what was on CCP's planning board prior to Quantum Rise (or just want to get an idea about what these rough announcements used to look like), take a look at this thread . |

Exactly this HAD been done when I started eve in 2008 or so, they are not done any more, so have a rotating hat in the office, it's your week to do it, etc. |

I say put it at the character select screen since even fewer people read forums and another thread won't help much The Drake is a Lie |

That could be fine too, top of the character screen and reserved placement. It would also be nice that when logging in, you didn't "lose" the news page. |

Thing is there is literally nothing much there.
I think what is being asked for is a lot more detailed and specific along the lines of this stuff from the Exodus Expansion.
They need to get back into the habit of proper expansions again not just random mini patches and balance tweaks with kitchen sink BFF-fixes thrown in as content.
They need to be looking at 6-12 months ahead and have big dreams and ambitions and keep players informed as to progress towards those ambitions.
Imagine a roadmap leading up to that old exodus expansion - there is so much exciting stuff there that it keeps people's imagination afire and sells the literal expansion of the game.
You look now at the info portal and its some guff about api's - waffle about statistics, NeX promotion and price indexes.
Where exactly are we talking about new classes of ships? Refinements to FW? New professions and specializations? Improvements to combat system? Bounty Hunting and Merc tools? Improved 0.0? Graphic refinements? Corp UIs? etc etc etc.
That Eve information portal category exemplifies what is wrong with Eve development at the moment. Its petty. Its minor. Its inconsequential. There is nothing there to excite and spur people to get excited about this game.
The True Knowledge is that nothing matters that does not matter to you, might does make right and power makes freedom. |

You can't expect CCP to release details of their plan.
Before they could do that, they'd need to know about it themselves! Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |
