It would ruin EVE, but the tears would be worth it.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

i lol'd.

I don't remember any bugs in WoW but it was so long ago I played that. But I can't rember bugs that lasted years, or just ended up being called working as intendedLol


are you kidding me?

as a rogue we had to put up with a broken vanish for over 5 years or so.
it was a core skill for our class, and it took 5 years to fix it.

Rogues where always OP anyways, even with broken vanish. It balanced out.

Depends.

Original devs or the ones that took over when Blizz lost their mind?

Edit: For those that don't know, WoWs first few betas had looting of players and such.

1. Halloween and Christmas would be celebrated in game each year by having each station in empire space hang decorations.

2. Players would be able to decorate in there favorite Christmas or Halloween outfits.

3. Each player would have a cute pet flying behind there ship.

4. Can tipping would be an offence punishable by account suspension.

5. Care bear servers would be set up allowing players to explore the universe of EVE without ever having to worry about being targeted by another player EVER!!!

6. If your ship gets destroyed you appear at the nearest station in a ghost pod that cant be targeted or seen, fly to your ship and your ship re-spawns with only minor damage to the hull.

7. New players get shield, hull and armor restored to full every 5 seconds for the first 3 months to ensure they don't die to easily.

8. Players invited to EVE by another player start off with 300,000,000 skill points and 2 billion isk.

9. Probe scanning only requires the necessary skills and probes to be launched, as soon as you click analyze all cosmic signature in the system appear at 100% regardless of probe placement and scan radius.

10. WE ALL GET TO BE PANDA BEARS!!!!!!!!!


Doesn't sound bad. And the pet battles are even cute.

But the best thing of all is? I can kill Horde over and over and over...and not in Outland (the closest WoW has to space!) Lol

5. When you set up a character you can choose a normal realm (no pvp unless you flag yourself for it, or enter a battleground) a pvp realm (there are three types of areas in the map, allied (you can attack enemy's and they cant attack you until you flag yourself by attacking) contested both sides can pvp at will, or enemy (they can attack you but you cant attack them until flagged). there are also rpg realms that require you to talk about only things in game. bottom line if you choose a normal realm you don't pvp unless you want to.


I wish.

EvE had their can flipping, WoW has it's own tricks to get flagged -- AoEs especially.

But PvP is so broken in WoW if you can't get into a decent RBG, the matches are decided by which team has the least bots.

One of the last BGs I played (Battle of Gilneas map) we just got on their ship and killed them as they spawned. The BG was that full of bots.

Waiting for 5.3 to return, as I want to kick some Horde hinnie in Org. Twisted

1) Can flipping would be nerfed, by allowing a carebear to take from a suspects can without going suspect himself
2) Ganking would be nerfed, by reducing insurance payouts, buffing exhumer tanks
3) Wars would be nerfed, huge increase to wardec costs, while allowing free allies and unrestrained corp-dropping to the defender, a Venture would be rolled out with inbuilt warp-stab
4) Concord Response times would be halved, triple the sec status penalty, applied at aggro not ship/pod pop
5) Neutral RR's wouldn't only join a limited engagement between combatants, they would be flagged as 'suspect' and shootable by everyone

Um...yeah

Would you like to know more?

that's because rogues were basically they kill you with no counter, or you laugh as you get a free kill.

there was no real middle ground with rogues, at least back in vanilla.

This is the only change I would like. Some anthropomorphic content would be awesome.

It's an advanced civilization. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to splice my genes with that of a slaver hound, for example.

CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer.

Subscription numbers the month following the takeover would be down 50-80%.

Then EA buys the EVE rights and CCP gets dissolved.

Five years late you will get a really bloomy EVE shooter from EA.

You mean UP by around 5-10,000 %, as The devs mainstream eve, and market it to a children's audience, where the mass appeal ruins the game that we enjoy, but brings in tons of subscribers, and even more revenue. We may not like WOW, but the devs have proven time and time again, that they know, with an MMORPG, how to make a massively successful product. I'm sure if A) CCP was willing to sell out, and watch their sandcastle be ruined, and B) Blizzard was willing to risk the venture, both parties would get VERY rich on it. The only people who would lose out, would be those of us who enjoy eve the way it is.


Blizzard are really just riding on brand name success at the moment. They've had a lot of complaints about their more recent gaming developments, especially Diablo 3. I think an Eve Online takeover would be a SWG NGE/Tortanic level disaster.


Diablo 3 was such a joke. Initially quite a bit of fun, till I hit inferno, then it was just a joke. As for patches after release, and rebalances and stuff, the game has just become plain bad. Sadly, too. Doesn't hardly even have much of the Diablo or Diablo II feel to it =/

"Blizzard seems to have a great concept" lolololol are you serious?

Diablo 3 sucked....it was just 5 billion customers screaming out horrible reviews that made eveo forums look like candyland in the bitterness department.

Nothing blizzard has touched lately has worked at all.

EVE would die and it would deserve it because it would become an abomination.

On the plus side they might actually fix things like frigate rats targeting and hitting you at 200k+ km

And maybe they wouldn't need 10 years of dev time to realize its ******** that your crew on your ship dont have the brains to fly around rocks in a belt instead of bumping straight into them like a kid with a bucket on his head for 20 minutes to get around the stationary massive rocks.

A pet pony would probably get some people to resub though.
