And I wouldn't post on the forums, ever, and most likely wouldn't subscribe to your MMO with that attitude.

Why would ppl care about revealing who they are in RL? There is millions of people providing lots of information about themselves via google, facebook and whatever internet services they use every day.. revealing your real life identity in eve should be the least thing you really should worry about.

about mintchip: she is cute... but watching her videos makes me sick.. the camera work is an absolute disaster.... maybe she should make a course on how to capture actual footage b4 she keeps making more and more terrible videos. The content might not even be bad, but the way she records and edits the videos totally ruin it.

edit: for the grammar police.. english is not my 1st language and i am totally drunk \o/

But not sick enough to stop you from watching them, eh? Blink

Releasing a players real name as incentive for them to behave while on the CSM is stupid. It is the equivilant of saying, "So like be good while being a volunteer and we took the liberty to make sure if anyone mental disagrees with your Internet spaceship gaming direction and philosophy, they have a way to easily harm you in real life due to use providing your real name."

It is a game. CCP should not be enabeling psycos to harm players in real life. If something bad was to really happen, people will blame CCP regardless. Forcing players to reveal their real name when running for CSM provides zero benifits to any aspect of this game. ZERO.

Oh my, didn't something like this happen just a little while ago.

I don't believe Real names should be released by CCP.

The last CSM election showed that some people who play this game do not have the ability to separate fantasy from reality.

It is rather irresponsible to let real names out. Yes some people will act like scum but I would rather that than us having assault/murder charges hitting the main stream media.

People find all kinds of excuses for crimes Dungeons and dragons, fritz the cat, ect, ect. I am surprised no one has tried EvE yet but a crime where CCP permitted it to occur by supplying someones real name would sit on the media forever.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

She made alot of sense and I completely agree with her that all playyers inlcuding CSM memebers should remain anonymous.

Im curious what would happen if some how either legally or illegally all eve 's players true names or emails were revealed (aka hacked similiar to SOE) and anonymity was thrown out the window.


Would you or have you revealed your ture name to your corp or friends in game?




It is part of the agreement you sign when running for CSM.

Anyone who cares could find my real name rather easily.

I disagree... every article out there that mentions CCP Devs uses the "CCP Whateveah" nicknames.

You will almost never find anyone other than Lander, David Reid or Kristoffer Touborg (occasionally Hilmar or Torfi) talking to the press about EVE and these are always referred to with real names.

Other devs only talk to the EVE community/fansites (and then use their pseudonyms) but will not to be sent to talk to the press.

If you can, then show me any article by an established gaming magazine (no, massively doesn't count, their articles are glorified blogs by an eve player) that refers to CCP employees only by pseudonym.

(I already checked this year's eve-related articles on eurogamer, pc gamer and mmorpg.com just to make sure I'm not telling you bullshit)

An attitude like "oh my, I might not be able to hide in the dark and play scoundrel from behind anonimacy, as every action I do in game will have a public consequence linked to my real first name".

Yes, i understand that it would leave many EVE players out of the potential target.

I do nothing online that I wouldn't want to be associated with my true identity.

Should CCP forcibly release all player's names?
No.

Should CSM member have their names released?
Eh, probably not a terrible idea. I can see the logic behind it.

Would CCP threatening to release my real name stop me from playing Eve?
Nope, see first sentence.

I'd be fine with revealing my true name, personally. But I can understand why others wouldn't.

You're all good. Your name sounds classy.

It's really up to the person. Just beware the stalkers I guess.

Who cares the arguments you make in the vid are largely and mostly irrelevant.
There has not been a case of a CSM being harassed out of game.

You live under an invisible blanket of security by obscurity.

It's really no security at all, but carry on dreaming, undocking and pvping please.

Because taking someone's video game space gold means he should be the target of death threats and other terroristic activity Roll. You pubbies :wtc:.
