EVE General Discussion

You know, just a list of all the devs, a picture of them and their avatar, what team theyre on, their specialty, and a short little bio.

Figure devs are part of the community, a big part, and we want noobs to get into the community, and we rarely get a chance to actual learn anything about the devs personally aside from the few of us who can afford to go to fanfest and pester them XD

of course whether and what information is posted for each dev would be entirely up to that dev to yes/no it (some people dont like being facebooked), maybe if possible even have an area for all the old ex-ccp employees that left their mark, just because they left CCP doesnt mean their contributions should go forgotten



just an idea really.

yeah, but for the vast majority of EVE players, made evident by the fact that iceland doesnt sink into the ocean during fanfest, cant afford or make time to literally leave their country for a week just to meet some people they would otherwise love and value having knowledge of.

besides, it would take less time to set this page up than for every dev to speak with every eve player who came to fanfest, plus its alot easier to read about someone then listen to their half-drunk descriptions of their part-time college job as Superman of the planet Mars (i hear alcohol is very popular at fanfest, and in my work experience, getting anything out of someone completely wasted is relatively impossible, and when the job requires you to speak relatively the same discussion over and over again with people, the beers add up fast)

unfortunately, I suspect it would fuel the 'oh god, eve is dying' thing that happens, every time a 'named' developer leaves for another job.

Sure, reasonable people understand that it's a job, and people move jobs every so often. But there are plenty of unreasonable people out there.

I might accept a CCP member for social reasons, they probably have interesting things to say about their work, lives and Iceland but I wouldn't recruit them for game knowledge of PVP ability.
... sexual preference, marital status, corruptability, hobbies, interests, favourite foods, what they think is a perfect date, ...

(Yeah, if I end up on CSM, the developers might start whining a bit.)

Like how 2 TOP C level devs just left and was kept quiet? COO and CTO chief operations Officer Horodal and Chief Technical Offixer Fannar just left and not a word from them.

For those that dont know... a COO is a MEGA BIG DEAL. He's one of the highest execs. And CTO is right up there too.

Yes you are correct, its just a job, people change them etc etc... but when ANY COMPANY has C level execs that keep leaving, its news. And its big news.

If Googles COO left, there would be mass pandemonium and theyre stock work crash basically

Google swapped out 4 c-levels in 2011, they seem to be doing alright.

Please do realize that CCP is not a publicly traded company and as such does not need public-facing figures with titles just to run the company. Also CCP is not american and don't hold their business values, nordic countries are mostly run by a CEO with senior level advisors instead of c-level bobbleheads, as they might be too expensive for the workload they do.

Yeah I'd like a list so that people that aren't trawling the forums 24/7 actually know who they are and have reason to like more than just Punkturis and Karkur :P
