Professionally trolled. Well done.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

That splash screen was seriously funny.

And if EVE takes a short dirt nap when the expansion launches next week, and Blizzard pokes back, that'll be funny as heck, too.



That was going through my mind when doing this ad and that gamble seemed to be even more of an incentive to go ahead with it.

All in good fun. Big smile

Well the boot.ini was bigset CCP fail ever but remember EvE code is damn complicated, diablo engine code compared to EvE code is like drop in the ocean, EvE is true MMO, diablo is only h&s + online connection service.

Plus the fact that people even need an internet connection to play D3 is a fail by itself.

That makes perfect sense. EVE requires a much higher level of intellegence to play and understand. Only the few can respond to it. These "other" games, any uneducated dolt can play...


Much higher level of intellegence.

LOL... Hilarious...

We just keep laughing at them. They keep hating on us. We keep laughing. They keep hating. It's a never ending cycle. I was playing D3 last night while logged into EVE. Then the servers went down for D3 for half an hour so I chatted a bit in EVE. Then the D3 servers came back up and I went back to D3. Pretty simple process of playing games if you ask me. Not sure why the scrubs on the D3 forums are trying to even compare D3 with EVE anyway. Two totally different games. Like someone over there said...

Blizzard would spend the whole time camped in station.

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...

This is just begging for a CCP Dev video... if the inferno launch goes good or bad it would be hi-lar-e-ous

... what exactly would a wardec look like? ...
Blizz sic's deamons and tons of WOW trolls on CCP.. EvilEvil
CCP moves operations to space... "nuke it from orbit... its the only way to be sure" PiratePiratePiratePirate
etc....

I took it as a joke saying players log in because Diablo 3 is downBig smile I thought it was very funny. If they actually did it to troll as some suggest (which I do not believe for a second,) then they are stupid. I mean Blizzard could have done an error related promo for EVE for 9 years and most likely do it for 9 years more. So I think people need to just see it for what it is, funny!

Majestic trolling. 10+/10!

CCP is quite the company that us sociopaths need and deserve!

...Now, if only Blizzard was up to par, and post something on that tune when yet another patch (such as an aptly named infernal one looming on the near horizon...) fails to deliver for days on end, or bricks your machine, or fails to repair, or fails to download, or reset your settings once more, etc., I'll be a really happy panda!

Yes poor people should keep quiet and never poke fun at rich people it's just crass
