Out of Pod Experience

Hey I'm eligible for the 7 year package.

That would be a 1st anniversary offer, obviously. And if you think of it, there are not that many players who've been playing EVE for 10 years.

Got nothing to do with it. It is still trampling on a lot of people.

What makes me glad though is that I know this to be a fake offer but what makes me even happier is that Chris Roberts isn't as stupid to make this kind of offer to anyone.

EVE players would know buttons-switches-sliders won't save from gankers even in hi-sec. I'm sure this thing is there just to pacify PvE players - who are the majority of gamers (and backers).

It's gonna be like MWO in the sense that it's an MMO


We already know the game is instanced, so EVE already has the game beat on scale.

I also personally feel EVE is much more stylish.

All in all, we've seen this time and time before. Devs who make grand promises and squabble on delivering them and blame "time" and "misinterpretations of what they really promised".

Honestly, when the game comes out and it's not even a quarter of what it promised to be, don't act like you were ******* jipped. Because anyone who's familiar with the game industry should come to recognize these things.

Ah yes, the almighty "twitch" controls. There is more to games then just that.

SC is playable 1.5 years prior to release: present ships are permanent.

Doubtful SC will do anything to EVE or vice versa, especially BECAUSE they do not compare... I just hope EVE will survive the mass Goon-situs, looking at how the forums over there are already crawling with them.

That's what we all hope for... then again, Elite and the Wing Commander series have been the first games that really introduced me to PC gaming back in the day, and if Roberts can make anything remotely as revolutionary as WC3 was then, the game will not even need to convert any players from other MMOs to become a huge success.

Also, SC is a completely different game: It's centered around the personal adventure... highly detailed, immersive ships and environments, and a (already) pretty rich story and lore, that are actually presented IN GAME.

Yup, I can subscribe to that view... what's especially jarring there: CCP continues to remove the lore relevance from the game (destroying COs in high sec without CONCORD persecution!?) on one hand, and keeps promoting it on the other... I mean, who needs OTHER games, and even a TV show about EVE lore when, it has almost nothing to with the actual game? I don't need to play (and pay) the game for that. Same goes, and I'll try to now digress too much, for WIS... I don't need a separate game for that (like CCP Seagull mused).

Sacrificing everything that makes the game interesting presentation wise on the altar of "the sandbox"... I certainly never asked for that... my characters never have been almighty genocidal psychopaths.

...but yea ...maybe the "future EVE" just isn't for me anymore. When looking at SC and Elite Dangerous, however, I can see many things I wished CCP would have done years ago.
