EVE General Discussion

Actually, if you do some reading around the Internet, which you could do without FB, might I add, you'd see that people actually care about FB likes. They care a lot.

So just because a handful of EVE players are terrified of FB and live behind 37 proxies and 128 firewalls and think the government is trying to steal their idenity, doesn't mean everyone is as tin-foil hat-loving as you.

Welcome to 2012.

And to the derper calling likes fake, your hat has a few holes in it. No company in the right mind would spend the amount of money you would need in order to garner that many likes. People like videogames, deal with it.

Came expecting fighter bomber stats. Left disappointed.

Also if u notice the "Talking about this" parameter, it shows how our community is lot more active than that in PS2. PS2 even having 10k likes more (btw DUST caught another 5k likes since i opened this topic), it has 4 times "TAT" less (5k "talking about this" against 20k of DUST).

"Talking about this" is ppl liking, commenting, sharing, mentioning, tagging etc. the page. Like always New Eden community above all other :DD.

Dust having "TAT" stat so much bigger than the one from PS2 will prolly mean that it will catch PS2 in likes pretty soon because lot more ppl are "talking about it" obviously :DDD. It can also show a hype for the game too. I predict a nice opening for DUST because 20% of "talking about this" is pretty rare and good indicator.

I ll show some % of "Talking about this" of other games:

World of Tanks 9%
EVE 7%
PS2 has 5%
League of legends 3,85%
WOW 3,8%
GW2 3,4%
Rift 0,5%
TERA 0,45%
SWOTOR 0,42%
GW 0,3%

Take in mind that the longer a page is on FB this indicator drops slowl. EVE got some 20k likes in this month only i think.

In conclusion. If u want more ppl trying New Eden, really, spam on FB. Like, share comment, tag. FB might be lame but it can be a really powerful tool.

WTF is a "grat"? Congratulations for something?!?!? Milestone user base (actual humans, not toons)? CCP Income? Congratulations for what, exactly?

This is not about "coolness". People without FB has simple common sense because they know how can be your personal information abused. (this also applies for Apple products or google account). And dont think that those people dont socialize. They do..... via encrypted software and chanels, not because they are criminals, but because they appreciate their privacy.

If they had that, they'd be able to use FB just fine.

Never stepping outside your house isn't “appreciating your privacy” — it's being an unsocial recluse.

Oooh, BURN!!!!

Well hearing u say that marketing is a BS tells me a lot how ignorant u are. And Apple was never known for its marketing skillz. U heared the last one "Samsung has everything we got but its cheaper". If u mentioned Cola than maybe u d have a point. Those guys built an empire on marketing even tough on blind tests ppl voted for other drinks to be lot better.

And for your answer, nah never had an apple product. I dont even know what else they have appart iphone and ipad? Poor marketing is poor marketing.

And again what "Gullibility to marketing BS and a stunning inability to look beyond the shiny" has to do with DUST getting 100k likes?

…and the common-sense approach is to not include any private stuff in what they can access, so no matter what features they implement, they get squat.

No. I'm saying that if the only “socialising” you do is through encrypted software and channels, then you need to get over your phobia of stepping outside and meeting people. A lot of socialising is about giving up privacy and engaging openly with the world around you.

Being secretive has its time and place, but if you're doing it all the time, you're suffering from something. This is no different in the digital age.

And DUST surpassed EVE by amount of Likes on FB. DUST has some 15% more Likes than EVE and some 70% more than PS2. It is not even out yet, so i d say GJ till now.
