EVE General Discussion

I am also not interested in DUST 514 or WoD

Yes. Happened to one of the projects I worked on. Too many millions spent already so they let us go on with the cooking, but on reduced flame. Writing it off was impossible. The good thing about it was, that in that time we were able to work far more focused. Not six sub-projects at the same time. Product got better.

More budget was poured into it again and more people hired, many re-hired.
That is what I hope will happen to CCP.

Aside from selfishly hoping that WiS will see more development...

Dude, your subscriber numbers are down because of the anom nerf. It was a MASSIVE kick in the balls to thousands who had struggled to take space and then upgrade it.


It spat in the face of those people. And they left. They wont be back.

Also it reduced the income of thousands more, and where they had multiple accounts they cancelled those accounts they could no longer afford.

They might be back, who knows.


While you are concentrating REALLY HARD on space, try concentrating on the anom nerf you suddenly and without warning imposed, while ignoring the huge outcry.

Look at THAT decision again, mate.

What a bitter pill to swallow.

Not that i will shed a tear because of WOD (MT Model) or would because of Dust (full MT model...linked to EVE even), but its sad for the 20% of course.

Lets wait and see. Such a big change can work of course, but it's not set in stone that EVE will regain customers, the dmg has been done, repairing it is way harder.

EVE had some vision and good content, but by no means was it consistent over the years, and i'm not just talking 2008 till now, but already back in 2006 the big failure of the rampant capital issues where consequently ignored by CCP till the big Titan nerf was inevitable years later when the dmg was done.

I won't cheer just yet, lets see what comes of this.

Best of luck to all those affected. This solemn news has affected my demeanor. I shall now take it out on my coworkers.

This is very bitter-sweet news.

A sad day, for many.

And like many here, I feel a great deal of sympathy for those about to lose their livelihoods, and hope that the transition between employers will be a short and smooth one.

That CCP is prepared to take such a bold stance, and make such real changes, bodes well for its future. This goes far beyond the well intentioned, yet rhetorical words of recent weeks. Personally, I look forward to becoming less cynical.

Now, I guess, my main hope is that the emotional balance of 'decision makers' is a steady one - the last thing that's needed now, is for people to get defensive and hesitant. "Someone" saw the writing on the wall, and 'leaked' things they shouldn't have... I'm neither condemning or condoning it --- I just want to voice my hope that, in light of this change, I would ask the remaining Dev's to be more vocal with their bosses... And, bosses... please listen.

Am I ready to start paying cash for all my accounts again? Will I change back to the subscription model? To be honest, it depends on what you do next... My faith in CCP is far stronger than it's been for a very long time, yet the Nex store and more particularly --- everything it represents, still holds me back.

The layoffs are not unexpected, but none the less unwelcome. There's nothing that can be done with just words, but my condolences to all you folks who are now looking for work.

While I and many others have said something like this will be necessary, I'm not happy about being right.

I am glad to see CCP is focusing on EVE and the primary focus of FiS. I'm sorry to see people losing their jobs over this, but hopefully CCP will be able to assist them in finding new ones.

I will be inviting moar people to play EVE now.

ObamaPay time. If they were in Arkansas they would be getting like almost 400-500 per week i think... i should move there our state is a measly 255.

You hope they learned a lesson from what? What they do now is the lesson they learned, and its because of what you call a "vocal minority".

And you, the "vocal troll" who always said the "vocal minority" can't change anything, should be rather quiet now, because you don't look that good in the light of things. Maybe YOU should learn your lesson for a change.
