EVE General Discussion

I have to ask CCP,


Will you be making our accounts universal say account name ********** will be the same account to use to log into WoD and will also be a Dust account if we purchase the games?

Would you introduce log in keys to help account security? or maybe those cool USB drives?

Because it is persistent, because it doesn't come on a disk, and because it's not like most shooters.

Highly doubtful. While Eve and Dust may communicate with each other, I doubt CCP will copy all user information over to Dust login servers nor that they will share. Same goes for WoD.

I don't know much if anything about consoles, but don't you require a disk?

Because Incarna was such a success...
I too believe that Dust and WoD will be everything that all of you think that they will be.



It's like watching monkeys getting zapped when they reach out for a banana... but never learn.

To be honest with you this is not a decision that's been made yet to my knowledge so I'm certain any feedback you provide will be helpful. :)

EVE Players reaction about whatever decision CCP takes:

CCP shares the same login in DUST and EVE:
- OMG MY ACCOUNT DETAILS ON PSN SECURITY COMPROMISED I DONT LIKE IT EVE IS DEAD

CCP don't share the login data:
- IM NOT GOING TO PLAY DUST I DONT LIKE TO HAVE MULTIPLES LOGINS DUST IS DEAD EVE IS DEAD TOO

Edit: IMO, EVE Gate (DUST and EVE and maybe WOD integration) can work just like the new Battle.net. One login, multiple games. And a change from login names to emails account would be good.

wod =/= EVE, has nothing to do with EVE, and is (or should be) completely irrelevant to your EVE account. As far as we are concerned (or at least should be if it weren't for usurped dev resources) , WoD is effectively done by a different company.

Dust, on the other hand... since it's supposedly F2P anyway, there should be no harm into adding 3 Dust slots to existing accounts with no change in subscription. Well, except in that it would be committing more long term to a game that by definition has a relatively short expiration date. As long those empty Duster slots don't get thrown in our face all the time by CCP marketing wh0res trying to sell us more shite, having spacebook access to Dust stuff makes sense.

The big thing is the PSN link... Never ever ever EVER give PSN any kind of access to EVE login credentials EVER! If that ever happened, I would be looking to remove ever last bit of my credit card information from all of CCP's databases, even if it meant pursuing legal options (in fact, with the incompetence of the lolwebteam, I've thought about doing that anyway.) To connect the accounts, there should be an intermediary thing... temporary keys or something to connect your PSN account to your EVE account over the web (lolwebteam, but at least it wouldn't be exposing anything to roflSONY.)

I think a unified account login, similar to the battle.net might be helpful. Especially if the other EVE Gate features like eve mail access come included, plus logging in with a digipass key is easier.

People with multiple EVE accounts would have it easier to manage their accounts and as a kind of veteran reward, those with multiple eve accounts should be able to transfer their aurum between EVE accounts on the same eve-gate super-account.

For CCP it would be easier to handle promotions, for example a small toy soldier included with the collectors edition of DUST is given to your eve account (complete with "stomp on it-emote )

No the idea is all of these games belong to CCP right?

Why not like in battle.net and others drop the idea of an eve account for a CCP games account. 1 account to bind them all 1 account to rule them all.

Example there are going to be people like me who will be playing all 3 games.

So why should I have 3 seperate billings or 3 seperate managements for all 3 games.

I would like to be able to log in to my account at ccp games and have a menu, what would you like to manage? Dust 514, WoD or eve online? And from there be able to access EvE gate, Dust gate, or Wod mail w/o having to log in 3 seperate times.


For those of you who play SC2, wow and will be playing diablo 3, you can see the advantage to having a single account log in vs trying to remember 3 different accounts.

That is the question i am proposing.

Since ccp is expanding and will have other games, AND people will be playing two to all 3, would it be reasonable to ditch the specific eve online account to a CCP games account? From this CCP games account you can manage all 3 games or just 1 of them.
