EVE General Discussion

REPUBLICATION

1 : the act or action of republishing : the state of being republished
2 : something that has been republished

Its time to take out from the archive a couple of bad bad post I've made a couple of months ago so we can re-ignite a small fire about a subject that is still not solved!

-> The state Eve got because CCP is not investing in this game anymore and deviating resources, letting behind only the minimal people to guarantee the patient is kept fed and breeding.

So, with no more delays, Ladies and Gents, directly from the old forums to the new ones I bring you: my love letter to CCP

-- --

Everything started 3 years ago. I had lots of free time, no kids, wife had diferent working hours, I was looking for something to fill my free time. Price wasn't an issue. I need something for my age range, something mature. As a sci-fy lover I wanted something in that area. It should be complex, diferent.

One day I found an advertisement. I follow the link. The first contact with the game was good, videos were excelent, pictures were nice, reviews good, is this it?

I created an account, login and played the 15 days trial. I love it, I became in love.

Unique server, the universe in EVE is freaking huge, cience fiction space game like I wanted, beautiful graphics, players pilot customisable ships, the game world was controlled by players, a sandbox like no other I've seen and the character advances even when you arenFt logged on.

I was in love. For a year CCP and me had a pactionned affair. For a year I explored every thing high sec had to offer to a lone wolf like me. CCP provided and it was good.

During that time an amazing expansion comes out, T3, wormholes, OMG, I love it, CCP always cooked my favorate meals, thank you baby.

And one day I login and I wanted more. And CCP help me, so I when for something I was avoiding for some time, I joined a 0.0 corp.

PVP, Sovereignty warfare, ratting, pirates, gate camps, ganks, awoxing, fleets, TS2, forums, meta gamming, poses, capitals. I thought that I've seen everything in high sec, itFs a entire new game out there!

CCP, you never ceases to surprise me, always keeping this relation alive and spicy.

For another year, I was happy, new stuff to do every day, my progress was incredible, I became space rich, I blow up ships every day, I created a new account for alts, I became a capital pilot, I fight on 1000 pilot fleet battles, I was part of something huge and good.

But one day, CCP stop making my favorite meals. The love was not there anymore. CCP start ignoring my calls. It started to arrive late to our appointments.

Expansions did not bring nothing new, no new ships to play, no new territories to explore and conquer, no new missions to do. No` why? I love you so much what did I do to you to deserve this? There is another one, isnFt it? Are you in love with someone else?

I gave you everything! I compromise 100% in this relation, why are you doing this to me? Why?

Many ships are broken and we can't play with them, poses are a mess, ratting was nerfed, supercap blobs ruin the game, graphics are not good anymore, bots, RTM, Galente is dead, the interface is outdated, LAG ...

What happen to you CCP, what I did wrong? should I pack and leave this relation for good?

CCP give a sign. Tell me you can fix what is broken, tell me you can revamp old contents, tell me you can give me new graphics that don't burn my card, a new interface, tell me you can give me new shiny stuff to play.

CCP talk to me, show me a EVE development timeline for 2011/2012, put more resources in this game, compromise, give me some hope, some reason to stay, I can wait for you if you want me to.

Do you still love me CCP?
