Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2009.01.11 02:32:00 - [31] I for one demand dev blogs about what was served for breakfast and/or lunch and/or dinner and/or midnight snack at CCP. We want office gossip! "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."
MotherMoon Huang Yinglong	Posted - 2009.01.11 02:46:00 - [32] how about a dev journal page? where each dev can upload non important imformation or something? less strict dev blogs?
Gunnanmon Gallente UNITED STAR SYNDICATE	Posted - 2009.01.11 04:06:00 - [33] And thank christ, they were getting out of hand. Talk about loving the sound of one's own voice, for ****'s sake.
Lance Fighter Amarr	Posted - 2009.01.11 04:22:00 - [34] Maybe there should be like a CCP twitter channel or whatever they call it, so that the devs can post stuff so we can see it..
DasDizzy Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2009.01.11 04:24:00 - [35] Originally by: Xailia I for one demand dev blogs about what was served for breakfast and/or lunch and/or dinner and/or midnight snack at CCP. We want office gossip! i am a follower of this idea!
Malthros Zenobia The Cold Wind Foundation	Posted - 2009.01.11 04:39:00 - [36] So if the devs just post random blogs, whether useful, interesting, or not, you'll be happy? I'm all for dev blogs, be it "Here are epic details on something new" or "how I spent my christmas vacation", but if I see neither, I'm not going to panic. These forums get depressing more and more as the player base grows.
Gunnanmon Gallente UNITED STAR SYNDICATE	Posted - 2009.01.11 05:18:00 - [37] Originally by: Malthros Zenobia So if the devs just post random blogs, whether useful, interesting, or not, you'll be happy? Yes, and if they post a link to their entry I'd appreciate it, too. kthxlatzor (please, kill me for writing that)
Misanth RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE Black Legion.	Posted - 2009.01.11 05:35:00 - [38] Originally by: CCP Whisper omg-rabble-rabble-wtf panic attacks That's how we in this corporation like to think our victims react. Both ingame as well as one EVE-O. Ps. Thanks for the free advert! Ds.
Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2009.01.11 05:36:00 - [39] More like this. and this oh! especially this, this, this, and I swear there was a blog about having a huge ¦orramatur feast... maybe it was during beta? "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."
Pattern Clarc	Posted - 2009.01.11 06:46:00 - [40] There's lots of sparse bits of information about the march patch (apocwhatnow?) littered through out the forum already. You just need (a few forum *****s who can direct your attention to every crumb of information) look hard enough... Personally, all I want at this time is a firm we will have this, this and this in that patch as so I know what to look forward to, instead of the news clips usually found on external sites. A thorough explanation of how on earth t3 would work would be nice though, proceeded by 3 months of testing starting yesterday...
ThaDollaGenerale The Illuminati. Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.01.11 08:21:00 - [41] NO VACATIONS FOR DEVS THE PLAYERBASE HAS SPOKEN

CCP Eris Discordia	Posted - 2009.01.13 09:59:00 - [42] I¦m preparing a blog, no idea when it will be released. I feel it is somehow related to my coffee in take and general mood. Unless you want me to write a blog in emo poetry. I could try haiku though hmmm choices choices. Pink Dread has been hijacked

Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.01.13 10:02:00 - [43] Originally by: CCP Explorer Originally by: Ticondrius Edited by: Ticondrius on 10/01/2009 12:20:21 In the space of 11 Dec to 10 Jan last year, there were 5 blogs. Don't tell me something isn't up. It isn't comparable. 11 Dec 2007 was shortly after the release of Trinity on 5 Dec 2007. This year we released Quantum Rise a month earlier, on 11 Nov 2008, and if we look at the month after that date *we find 8* blogs.** I think the word i'm looking for here is... Is... Now what is it...acquired..no no...possession...no...damnit...ah hell. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

Dr Sheepbringer Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.13 10:41:00 - [45] Originally by: CCP Whisper 3. Get feedback from Marketing and PR. At this point many of you are no doubt rolling your eyes but the simple truth is that our Marketing and PR people work long and hard at getting press exposure for EVE with many different media outlets. Hey, I'm rolling, turning and twitching I do understand all this and it's a necessity and I know for a fact that it's also tediously slow process. One thing I don't understand is that PR relationship with the playerbase is completely FUBAR and pretty much non-excistent (unless they are stealth beavers lurking in the shadows of the forum). You (CCP) just informed us of a new PCU and guess what... Those people are advertisers also! I would imagine that a small amount of PR towards the playerbase would be beneficial.
Pesadel0 Minmatar Rytiri Lva R.U.R.	Posted - 2009.01.13 10:56:00 - [46] Originally by: Helison Originally by: fairimear Seriously the days of good dev blogs died with the launch of that magazine. This together with all marketing considerations were the death to good DevBlogs. Some time ago DevBlogs were a good tool for getting info and giving feedback (before everything is set into stone). Now DevBlogs are only another marketing tool and it¦s normally better to search 3rd-party sites instead of waiting for a DevBlog. Word.
Chruker	Posted - 2009.01.15 08:22:00 - [47] Originally by: CCP Whisper 3. Get feedback from Marketing and PR. At this point many of you are no doubt rolling your eyes but the simple truth is that our Marketing and PR people work long and hard at getting press exposure for EVE with many different media outlets. Part of that process may involve promising exclusive coverage for some new feature. If some dev then goes ahead and broadbands the details ahead of time this puts a bit of strain on the relationship between us and the press, which can result in EVE getting less coverage. I find this part horrible. I would want the customers to be the first to get their hands on new information. Its horrible that current subscribers are prioritized less than some damn media chumps All information must be published in some way accessible to subscribers at the same time or before any other media. You can then prioritize all you want for the rest of the damn media circus. But dont on your existing users!!!

It's a business at the end of the day so certain things are provided as exclusives to the media. You still get to hear about it when it's published, what difference does it make? You can't use these 'features' until there implemented anyway. CCP give us a LOT more information than other MMO's but some people are never happy unless they're whining about something which seems to be more and more of the player base these days. This is an opt in service, nobody forces you to play. People might want to start enjoying what we have than wildly speculating about CCP's apparent hidden intentions to **** the player base off every chance they get. Lighten up and enjoy the game, and failing that; Cancel your subscription.

Raymon James Minmatar Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2009.01.15 15:56:00 - [53] when your suffering from blog withdrawl its time to admit you have a problem.
Andromaner	Posted - 2009.01.15 16:09:00 - [54] Still nothing actually relevant to gameplay
Haral Reimo	Posted - 2009.01.15 16:34:00 - [55] Originally by: Rakshasa Taisab 冬の島解けてる言葉コーヒの味 fuyu no shima toketeru kotoba aji wa ko-hi Island of Winter Thawing words Taste is coffee Not bad! Looks like you changed one of your japanese representations and not updated the other though, the romaji doesn't match the kana. For what it's worth, I prefer the way you have it in the romaji and English. "Taste of coffee" doesn't have quite the same ring. For those who can't read Japanese, that's a proper Haiku. It's got a season, a theme of change as well as the correct syllabic structure.

I did the initial version in kanji, then forgot to change it when i edited the romanji version.
MailDeadDrop Globaltech Industries	Posted - 2009.01.15 18:18:00 - [57] Edited by: MailDeadDrop on 15/01/2009 18:22:06 Edited by: MailDeadDrop on 15/01/2009 18:21:55 Originally by: CCP Whisper Show what you have written to the people who are actually implementing the features and get feedback. Huh. From the name "devblog" I would have assumed that they were written by people who were actually, y'know, the devs. What you describe sounds entirely like a marketing activity, which would imply that the name would be "marketingblog". Maybe it's time your forum tag was updated to be more accurate. shrug MDD
Yuko Anekohji Quatidion Circle-Of-Two	Posted - 2009.01.15 19:27:00 - [58] +1 for moar dev blogs! MOAR!!!! I seriously don't care if its about oveur's drunken hysteria or sumthing useless like that, It's a devBLOG, those aren't supposed to be newspost. I want the crazy devblogs from before back!
F90OEX F9X	Posted - 2009.01.15 19:50:00 - [59] Problem with Dev blogs is there not spread out over time, like the last batch of blogs came 1-2days after each other. IE means lots of info to read switching from one blog to another = overload in information
MyOwnSling Gallente Macabre Votum Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.01.15 19:54:00 - [60] Originally by: MailDeadDrop Edited by: MailDeadDrop on 15/01/2009 18:22:06 Edited by: MailDeadDrop on 15/01/2009 18:21:55 Originally by: CCP Whisper Show what you have written to the people who are actually implementing the features and get feedback.

So, the blogs are indeed written by devs. If you read the post, the marketing guys just say when the devs can't write about a certain feature.
