Lots of people treat EVE as the biggest chatclient ever. I did so myself, too.

If they don't have to stay subbed to speak with their mates, they won't resub ever, because there's no need.

CCP would lose money and subscription numbers.

Not much in the CSM minutes about avatars (or anything else for that matter).

An update to the NeX store, with some possible new racial clothing options and colors, that's about it.


While I liked see that in the CSM minutes it kind of scares me about new racial clothing.

I still want some Gallente clothes for the dirty traitorous Caldari that I am. Lol

For gods sake, that is just a cloth, you cant be traitor just wearing a jacked. And we don't even know, maybe they are all "Made in Minmatar". Roll

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I know, I just like to troll everyone that wants to keep all that stuff locked to certain races when there is no reason it should not be available to everyone.

People's responses regarding WiS on the CSM Vote Match will be taken into account when I select my ballot for the CSM9 election. I recommend everyone else who's participated in this thread to do the same. (Though not as sole criteria, of course.)

As CCP leaves these projects under-maintained, newer, better studios just roll on over every accomplishment they've made.


That is genuinely awesome.

Here's an interesting excercise. Go through the candidates for CSM8 and identify any who were pro-WiS. Note how many of them made it to the CSM and then note how much time CCP wasted on WiS content.

A little hint for the last one...it was zero (thankfully).

Well if your going to compete with SC I think you're going to have to do something. But what ever you do it has to be HUGE.

Unfortunately I doubt the player base will allow it. I refer to the summer of rage.

Perhaps, but I think that a lot of the general public sees them competing. Regardless of technical categorizations.

General public don't play eve. The people I know who have bought SC are gaming tards (one particular person I know plays mmo's solo and rages he can't do end game bosses by himself.)

Nope. The only people who are trying to compare the two are delusional roleplayers who can't let go of WiS.

Just realized that this thread is almost two years old.

Not bad for a feature that apparently no-one wants.

In SC people play space pilots and they have the option to play on one universe, be merchants, pirates who gank them and so on.

The first part is RPG, the latter is MMO, together I'd say it's MMORPG enough. Unless you don't consider "MMO" pirates ganking merchants, in which case EvE is not a MMO either.

It'll probably be a sort of SWTOR "single player friendly but you still play in a MMO" gameplay.

You need to look up what MMO stands for. Especially the first letter.

I've seen people commenting on unusually high amount of female candidates for this CSM. It seems CCP is going to test certain content on them. WiS maybe? I cannot imagine any other content within EVE which could be taken by male and female players differently.

Well that's sexist.
