It is very nice seeing little bits fall into place and a greater attention to detail. For a niche game like this I wholly believe numerous small improvement the likes of which we are finally seeing will grow the game through word of mouth more than any glittery half finished expansion.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

If CCP doesn't answer........can.......I........have the cake?

Please?


It's pretty big, I'll have to deliver it in my Ark. Promise to play nicely upon delivery now ♥

As a bitter-vet (I guess I qualify at this point) - I would tell people "EVE lives, in spite of CCP's best efforts to kill it".

Quality control and attention to detail matters. One of the reasons that Blizzard's WoW succeeded where EQ2 did not was because Blizzard did a very good job of paying attention to small details and making improvements in the gameplay experience. Or witness some of the other extremely buggy MMO launches over the past years where they attempted to release a buggy product and promise to patch it later.

Little fixes like this that can be knocked out in 1-3 weeks of developer time pay off in spades because your customers are less frustrated with the UI or the way a particular game mechanic is overly obtuse and unintuitive.

Cake is also the name for the solid stuff that's left when you evaporate all the liquids from Urine. So be careful what you ask for...

Hmm, delivered crap for 2 years just to turn it around and be heroes at the end?

Good plan, except that I think there's about 200 ex-employees that would object to that scenario.

With that in mind, I think they are doing good now, but at a price.

Oh what? Firing 20% of your company makes people work to keep their jobs? Who woulda thunk it...

If that was the reason, then yes. However it wasn't.

CCP tried to develop/maintain 3 games at the same time, they failed. And 200 people had to pay for that with pink slips.

So while I rejoice in the 'new' CCP I can't dismiss that I wished it could have happened earlier.

On the other hand, if it had happened earlier most of those 200 hadn't been employed at the first place.

So it's not just black and white ;)

I think to be fair its more like restructuring and giving individuals pet projects to work on has led to lots of little things getting done.

Hmm, except that I wouldn't call Dust or WoD 'pet projects'.

They are/where both strategic business targets.

But they where one too many.

I'm talking about things getting done in Eve, what makes you think I am referring to development of other titles?
