You're only convincing yourself and other week willed fluffies who probably get upset when some takes their dolly away. I had my corp in a research alliance a couple of years ago when the Goons decided to carry out their Jihad against such alliances in high sec. Big deal, we just got on with it, went out own way as that alliance collapsed and carried on as we were before.

Basically, get a grip.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Amen. With you 100%. It's Obvious.

I THINK that I was the first one to call him CCP Soundwaffe, but can't verify that.

One account expired this morning, another one today, so thats 3 toons out of here. The other 2 accounts unfortunately do not time out until mid-June.

Thank God that Civ 5 has a new expansion June 12. Smile

Remember EvE is almost 10 year old game and is still at stable condition, and CCP deal with low amount of subscribes while we compare EvE to orher MMOs, fact meny other MMOs land in graveyard after short time after relase, Star Wars: The Old Republic online lose around 400.000 subscribers in march form total 1.7mil subscribers that a huge lose in short period of time while EvE always got solid number of players.

However mass harassment may change total amount of subscriptions espetially if 20%-30% of gaming community play mmos only for pve resons, and they dislike if somone haras them or block thier goals or ablility in game.


Ps. In EvE is more easy to lose own subscirbers than get new people, and CCP know this, for sure CCP minitoring all mass behaviour in game and if they allow some events they sure this wont affect total players subscription buy maybe im wrong...

From what I read they only projected that many and perhaps got close for a short time at best.

Maybe just maybe it had something to do with the whole east cost USA having a beautiful Sunday. The sun shining brightly, a warm breeze in the air, and all the beautiful ladies in their summer's best, what a much better way to spend my Sunday than internet spaceships. Just because the OP doesn't like to leave his dungeon doesn't mean the rest of us don't like to get out.

No, they sold 1,7 to consumers, 2,1 or whatever to retail. Out of those 1,7m "the majority" created a sub. Out that "majority" a "majority" then payed for a sub after their free month that came with the game. What that majority is we might never know, it took 5 years until Sony Online Entertainment told anyone the real number of subs in SWG. All I can testify is to that, I have never seen a game with supposedly more than 1 million players and every server is green/light and at release when they were full, full=1000 playersRoll

Latest now is to count free trial weekend accounts as part of quarterly player-base.

*Hint, if EA says it, it is bullshit!

Thank you CCP for encouraging ganking, we're on a roll with all these accounts closing. Good for business huh CCP??

I'm sorry you won't be able to RMT anymore. I apologize for you not being able to buy a new pair of shoes this month with the ISK you were intending to RMT. Poor thing.

Let me shed a few tears for you. It must suck to be so poor you have to bot and RMT a game - you know, something others play for the enjoyment and not the income. Those mean people wanting to force you out of your "playstyle", i.e. botting and RMTing. Why can't they understand you're here for the money and just leave you alone, right? It shouldn't matter that your actions are bannable and destroy the economy of the game, you need to make that extra income every month, and that's more important, right?

Poor little you.

I thought the buddy program was so that you could invite friends, get a PLEX from CCP when they subscribe and then get all their stuff when they realise that Eve requires effort & planning.
