chuke doom	Posted - 2009.01.12 10:39:00 - [1] Hey all I was wondering maybe if ccp or someone has rough figures on a predicted income off new player base, when eve is released into shops. I may have missed it maybe somewhere on the forums or whatever but just wanted to know how many players ccp is expecting on the release off eve in a box. maybe only the market team could answer this, not sure but just wanted know what sort off effect a large possible number off players joining round a certain time will have on the servers but tbh real reason is the market tbh.
Qordel Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.01.12 10:47:00 - [2] I would suspect there is absolutely no way they'd release this information until long after they've already met any internal goal. Doing so would make them look bad if they wanted 50,000 and they only got 10,000.
Scarlet Pimpdaddy Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.12 10:49:00 - [3] Originally by: chuke doom Hey all I was wondering if CCP has an estimate on the predicted income from new players when EVE is released in shops. I also want to know how many players CCP is expecting to gain from the EVE box release. It is possible that only the marketing team could answer this. I would also like to know what sort of effect a large number of new players will have on the servers. However, my real concern is the EVE market. Fixed that for you. Also, this and this.

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2009.01.12 11:22:00 - [11] The more the merrier... Oh, and it's an expansion, not a mere patch. Wrangler Community Manager CCP Hf, EVE Online Email Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He's the chap who makes it possible for civilized folk to despise war.

Qordel Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.01.12 11:28:00 - [12] Originally by: CCP Wrangler The more the merrier... Oh, and it's an expansion, not a mere patch. Besides, Microsoft has changed the standard now. There are no patches. There are only "title updates". Makes it more difficult to differentiate from new content versus fixed content. However, in the world of EVE a patch fixes existing problems while an expansion opens up a whole new world of possible problems to necessitate later patc^H^H^H^Htitle updates! -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009?

Qordel Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.01.12 11:32:00 - [14] Originally by: Scarlet Pimpdaddy It's a war on bad spelling and grammar. Indeed. It's not even simply bad spelling and grammar. If english isn't your primary language, that's one thing. If you produce a lot of typos or frequently misspell or misuse a couple of particular words, that's reasonable, too. Then you have guys like that who simply don't have enough respect for the people they're asking help from. They can't be bothered to write out a reasonably thought-out sentence and treat every communication like it's a **ing SMS message and leave it up to other people to decipher their idiot-speak. Their most often quoted response is "I know how to spell and write - I just don't care to waste my time doing it because I'm online and who cares?!". The flaw in their logic being that if you know how to speak and write well, it actually takes MORE time and energy to do it poorly. I love grammar and the English language. I don't care for online grammar **s. On the other hand, I also don't care for people being lazy and expecting me to make up for their lack of consideration by pulling out a translator to comprehend their posts. Gaaaah! -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009?

Vyktor Abyss IONSTAR Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.12 11:46:00 - [18] And there was silly me thinking patches were for the eyes, due to errors caused by waving a cutlass at a repetative parrot.
Amelia Ewan Mindstar Brigade	Posted - 2009.01.12 11:50:00 - [19] Edited by: Amelia Ewan on 12/01/2009 11:50:41 So how many players are you expecting to enter the game from seeing the game in shops and moaning that its nothing like WoW I bet 5000

You could call them expandlets? :) Fortunately, we don't have this problem where I work. Our software requires infinitely more fixes after release than it gets features. Lucky us :P -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009?

Darwin Duck A Quest Millitia	Posted - 2009.01.12 12:39:00 - [23] Originally by: Qordel I would suspect there is absolutely no way they'd release this information until long after they've already met any internal goal. Doing so would make them look bad if they wanted 50,000 and they only got 10,000. CCP has been very open with all their mumbers. It's almost unheard of in the mmo industry that we get the specs of the server clusters, number of subscribers, PCU ++. You see SOE, NC soft and Blizzard hold these cards thight to they chest, allthough WOW naturally give us the 11 million users promotion.

Yes, as I said - they will certainly share numbers after the fact. Nobody in their right mind would set themselves up for appearing to fail if they give a certain number before hand and it isn't reached. So no, I sincerely doubt there will be an estimated goal for how many people they plan on with the box. But in a month afterward, perhaps they'll give real actual numbers that have come from it. -- What's your EVE New Year's Resolution for 2009?
