Takes a big man to admit a mistake and a bigger man to admit it publicly. My respect level for Hilmar is quite high at the moment.

Too bad he spend a month with script writers and proof readers and sales charts.


He is no man, he is a sales man. Sales are falling, he makes a statement, sales go up, Business as usual.


He doesn't care about you or what you think, all he wants is your money, all $3000 per year instead of you paying it to the golf course.

From a strategic perspective, we had to take these first steps because monthly subscriptions are increasingly becoming a thing of the past.


This makes me worried about things such as free to play models supported by MT. IE DDO

The investment of money in EVE should not give you an unfair advantage over the investment of time.


Really wanna get ppl behind that (as far as words go), replace "should" with "will"

Good things are coming. They always do when you learn from your mistakes. In 2007, we faced a similar crisis of confidence, and it resulted in the creation of the CSM. We’re a better company because of it.


Um youre still out of touch then, your current CSM are leaders of groups that are trying to destabilize the economy of the game and to take over all of 0.0 so stagnation can set in and they can ransom your game against you. IMO get rid of the CSM

But enough talk from me. We all know that much quoted phrase, “It’s not what you say, it’s what you do,” that will make the difference here. From now on, CCP will focus on doing what we say and saying what we do. That is the path to restoring trust and moving forward.


We'll see

"Some say that he is actually dead, but the Grim Reaper is too afraid to tell him." "Some say he is the 3rd member of Daft Punk and he did the vocals of "Technologic" song. All we know is,he's called EVE Stig"!

I want to see him say this on YOU TUBE in HD

WITH NO SCRIPT, I don't want to see his eyes wiggle left to right like JOE 90 or Action Man while speaking from a script.

A real honest man can do that, bet he can't.

I see a lot of words, and maybe they hold water, but CCP's recent history has shown an alarming trends towards them just being PR smoke and mirrors.

One of three accounts expired last week and has been shelved. Next week another expires and will be shelved. The last of the three expires by the end of the month and will be put on the shelf.

Honestly, your going to have to over deliver on recent promises to get my attention and lure me back. I'll be in that other sci-fi MMO that is about to launch, probably with at least three dozen other Eve players that are planning to set up shop there. Your going to have to have one hell of a hat trick performed in order to draw us away from there.

I predict a MASS MAILING from CCP to inactive accounts on the Winter expansion, people log on for the FREE time, go MEH, but CCP praise how the numbers hit a new high.

It would have been far more convincing without the scripted corporate suck-ass by the entire CSM in the comments thread. Is this the internet equivalent of raising your mutton joint and yelling "Hear, hear!" when the king farts?

Jesus the guy wrote a blog asking apologies, blood has been spilled and people wanna see gore and dismemberment .
Stop being so bitter, you got what you wanted, carry on and lets proceed for a brighter future.

There's a lot of gullible posters in this thread. After the crapfest CCP has perpetrated in this game in the last few months, its gonna take more than an apology note.

Well after reading what Hilmar had to say, people really should be on better mood and have some more faith.

I might be somewhat naive, but I honestly think that Hilmar has accepted the fact that solid long term profit goals are better for the company than digging only from the corner with most ants. It took really much guts to say all what he said and now I'm actually happy that he is running the show again. Eve should be in good hands.

I've said dozens and dozens of times on these forums in the past few weeks that I am dissatisfied with Dominion and have been for nearly two years now and the proof is in the pudding that if CCP does not fix or remedy the situation come winter a lot of us will likely see no reason to remain in null sec. Hint: Even Goonswarm is bored with null security.

Apologist, hardly. Stop thumping your pulpit.

Dunno about that mate, you've been busy thumping your pulpit right through the whole thread. Read what you had to say the first time, so stop boring us with more sermons.

I feel dirty... I kinda agree with Miilla. As I posted in the other thread:
Quote:

This blog itself was a good business decision. Whether it actually means anything is yet to be revealed. However *cautious optimism* regardless what I may think of salesmen in CEO positions.

CCP have apologised other times in the past, then turned around the next day, told the Press the opposite.


You seem to have the memory of a tadpole.



A message was sent from many of us to Sony and Star Wars Galaxies, a Message was sent from CCP to us here, and a message will be sent back again to the MMO INDUSTRY in the form of an harsh example.


Himlar clearly states in his "apology" PR blog, the industry is changing to FREE TO PLAY and INGAME transactions (not micro in CCP's case), and he clearly intends to FOLLOW THE INDUSTRY.

If you missed that, go read his blog again.

All he is doing is doing the "right thing" meaning he will still continue down his path, except using baby steps, in baby bites so you can swallow it easier.

Just like when market trading in Eve, if they wont follow your price war down 10m a go, they WILL follow you down in 1 mil steps, TEN TIMES (OR MORE) - go try it in game. It works.

errr I'm playing the game for 4 months, still take your chill pills, you are taking too much on the serious business.
Wait The Winter patch before releasing the Krakens all around.
Edit: Also, if they keep it up the game will close , people will regret sometimes in some nostalgia and life goes on.
