At first read, this sounds like the end of my Eve.
Your "Premium" client is STILL stinking pile of bile, which I won't touch with a 20ft pole. it.just.doesn't.work.reliably. end of story. Nothing to do with shaders or the age of my brand new machine.
With your track record on making good on your promises, I would rather see you FIRST deliver working alternative for classic BEFORE you take away working eve client.
Don't you collect basic statistics? Each client could so easily send if it's premium or classic starting up, giving you an idea what's the ratio currently in premium vs classic - and don't assume all those have crappy PC's, start wondering if there is a reason why people reject your premium client...
I am very very pessimistic about this, and if I lose my few friends that play this game due to this, you will surely lose me as well - just to say that similar things may happen alot, losing people who could run eve, but lost their friends...
tsk tsk

yes I know Island got hit the worst of all of the European countries thats why its even LESS understandable that ccp announce something like this at this time that has to do with people spending even more money to be able to play their computer game!!
WTF is that ?
It's more economic for CCP to just have to pay for the development of one client instead of two.
This, and the fact that a cheap videocard with SM2 or even 3 support costs VERY little. If you can't afford it, you probably don't really afford EVE in the first place. That's just how it is with a platform in constant development, such as the PC. Some things grow too old, and you can't expect everyone to wait for you to catch up.
So you can quarantee that simple GFX card purchase will enable keep on running 5 clients on said machine?
Don't be a tool, fool. There is great variety of reasons out there for people and their hardware to be alarmed about this.

I really think CCP should do a hardware survey before they roll this out. I think the results would clarify the impact of this change. I for one see CCP losing more in revenue, then they will be saving by working on one client.
Ofcourse doing mere hardware survey would make the faulty assumption that everyone with capable machine would be willing to use the premium client...
But like with majority of your posts here and elsewhere, I tend to agree with you - CCP should do a fact finding mission, because they can and it's the right thing to do.
I repeat myself - minor update to the client and it sends you userID and classic/premium identifier (+is/is not premium capable) each time a logon is made. Not only does it give results for all those that were active during the statistics period, but it also gives other useful bits of information. |

I couldn't care less if Classic won't have ambulation, I don't need it.
Could this be the real reason, not wanting to do ambulation models etc. twice?
I for one would also gladly accept no WiS and to keep classic.
