CCP has had to make some hard decisions. Between eating some crow, reducing staff, redirecting resources, and probably many changes we'll never hear about it - it's clear that they've become a company with a renewed purpose. That purpose being getting EVE back to where it needs to be both for the good of the company and the good of the game.

I read with indignation the 'leaked' letter, my reaction being 'by God, I'll show you what I'll "do"' and subsequently cancelling my accounts. Hell even the NEX is ok with me for things such as ship paint jobs and whatnot. I'd like the added ability to access such cosmetic features, and if the NEX provides that mechanism so be it.

CCP has done essentially everything right since this fiasco as far as I'm concerned - and as a result I'm back. Communication seems to be coming at a rapid pace, I'm liking what I'm reading in terms of small fixes and larger content coming with the Winter Expansion, and my interest in EVE is renewed.

I just wanted to take a moment and post - to say keep up the good work CCP Big smile There's at least one capsuleer that appreciates the renewed effort currently being put into Eve Online - no strings attached.

Let me give you guys a little more information on what is coming. Starting next week we will be producing a series of 'In Development' video blogs which will look at what the various teams are planning for Winter 2011. I want to stress that these videos will not contain release dates as we are aiming to provide a lot of stuff and do not want to commit to a date we cannot keep. These will include:

Engine trails - Yes, that's right we are adding engine trails to EVE and we will show the work in progress so far.

New ships - Recently we featured a shot of the Tornado, the Deviant Art contest winner, on the EVE Facebook page. We were not happy with just giving out one ship so we will be showcasing all four new ships.

New nebulae - These new background sin the EVE universe are stunningly beautiful and will add to the immersion and feeling of being in deep space.

Team BFF - This team should be Best Features Fullstop and CCP Soundwave will give an overview of what his team has in store. Capital ship balancing, balancing hybrids, assault ships bonuses and much more will be added during winter.

Customer Relations - The Lead GM's will talk about changes to how petitions are handled, more options for Stuck petitions and how we aim to deal with your issues as fast as possible.

We are not just going to stop there. We will bring you more video blogs about what is in development for EVE Online.

It's been...what....two weeks since the Hilmar debacle? And you're expecting a major company shakeup to magically make things better in that timeframe?

I agree. Someone above accused the OP of being easily mollified and perhaps we are. But the letter from Hillmar seemed heartfelt and showed a great deal of humility. The communication has certainly stepped up and the renewed focus seems real. The layoffs were a bummer to be sure but numbers be numbers and business is business.

I hope they stick with it, we're the ones with the final say anyway. If it turns out to be a all talk then we can simply walk away anyway. I don't know about you guys but I've walked away from MMO's that I've been heavily vested in before in the past and I can tell you first hand it's a liberating feeling. You almost don't know what to do with all the free time you suddenly have.

In the end we can always vote with our feet.
