In client social networking systems are far to difficult for CCP to implement... right?

I mean we don't really need an EVE version of twitter, do we?

Nor would it be wise to have the local chat window expand into an EVE version of facebook, would it?

And no-one is going to go to CCP and say "We have raised the money to buy you the tools you need to make us happier" will they?

Because Far-que... That's why.

There are the ingame chat channels for all those middle aged men with female avatars.

Most of an Eve player's in game time is spent avoiding another player in one way or the other. Why would you want to see their faces? If there's a nuclear holocaust and Evetards are the last group of people alive from hiding out in their mothers' basements, I wouldn't want to socialize with them.

Thats sad, because in the event of nuclear holocaust, this "basement" my family has been over the last 30 eyars doubles as a nuclear fallout shelter, complete with a hydroponic garden, armory, shooting range, a whole town's worth of MRE's, environmental suits, and enough DVD's/blurays to last you decades.

but if you dotn like socializing with eve players thats too bad.

(but seriously, i wil never leave this basement, theres just no reason too)

Don't forget about these forums in the in-game browser.

They're way better than any in-character, in-client social networking systems that Elder Scrolls Online can create.

It's good to know that you'll be alive after the holocaust, as I may need you to grind some standing for me
