Add "General Discussion thread of the month" to the newsletter.
If you do this, please warn CCL in advance through the proper channels so we can put the entire team on high alert before that thread explodes....Shocked

I don't think it should be possible for a GD thread to qualify as "thread of the month" before the "explosion." In fact, I would surmise that a thread exploding is a necessary criterion for being considered "thread of the month". Lol

Well, I'm looking back at the previous newsletters this year and the only mention of the CSM is the CSM minutes. So how about mentioning the CSM elections for CSM 10, preferably before the voting period closes?

#88 - 2013-04-17 CSM 8 RESULTS TO BE ANNOUNCED AT FANFEST 2013
#87 - 2013-03-21 CANDIDACY SELECTION BEGINS!
Election Schedule:
» March 22nd-29th – candidate pre-election
» April 3rd-17th – CSM Election. Go vote!
» April 27th – Results announced at Fanfest 2013
#86 - 2013-02-28 COUNCIL OF STELLAR MANAGEMENT 8 CANDIDACY VOTING BEGINS IN MARCH
#80 - 2012-08-29 CSM MEETING MINUTES – SUMMER 2012

...what news do you want to see more of in future issues?



Tell people that the CSM are working their balls off on their behalf

Tell people that almost everything about the current game is working better than it was a couple of years ago - maybe do some kind of feature retrospective

Tell people that EVE is still the only MMO where player interaction is the primary content and give an example or two

Get some "micro blogs" in there - a single paragraph from a few devs on different teams about what their current projects are working on

Why would CSM propaganda needed to be repeated *every month*?
Not saying you're not doing any work, but he asked for future issueS...

I'm for short quotes from devs, except "I'm working on it" ... xD


Because people constantly complain that there isn't enough "communication" from and about the CSM.

Note that only one of the 4 suggestions relates to the CSM, and also that I specifically highlighted raising the profile of the CSM as one of my priorities during my election campaign. Furthering that goal is a responsibility that I have taken on.

We, know, we saw. Now free the Peanutbutter Pervert.

In thanks anyway I bountied you and my other favourite CSM, Rev. Ripard. I'd encourage everyone else to do the same, to show their appreciation.

Re the Newsletter - some ministats in there would be awesome. We really don't get enough economic reports. Put some stuff in there we don't already see somewhere in the blogs or on the forums and we'll probably read it. And some pictures of Iceland or something.

The problem is that the stuff were really interested in, I mean, chewing-our-nails-to-the-elbows interested, is the same stuff that you won't talk about because:

a) you want to save it till fan-fest (understandably)
b) the legal/marketing team haven't approved it yet (and/or won't approve it)
c) there will be player outrage if it does/doesn't happen (depending on if its good or not!)
d) its only a half baked idea that you don't want to give the impression you have committed to

The delivery of real 'newsworthy news' is (and probably needs to be) such a delicately handled event, that the newsletter isn't the right place to do it, despite its name. So I can't think of anything that the newsletter should do differently - I think it does the best job it can given the above limitations. Its a marketing/fluff piece that has value to some (me included, I enjoy reading it), but isn't a vital read for all.

Hmm, apparently it used to be here: https://secure.eveonline.com/EditAccountInfo.aspx (according to http://www.eve-search.com/thread/1359909-0) - anyone seen it since?

I'm thinking of a local paper in the UK so I would like to see

CCP female devs in bikinis racing around CCP HQ with rifters

Dear CCP page showing one highlighted whine petition and ccp response

A sports page showing how to play Clay pigeon shooting using a sniper ship and some poor noob in a frigate.

Comic strip a plus

Horoscopes on whats going to happen in your day in EvE.

OH getting back to EvE a daily space weather report

How about...

New Possibilities Fit of the Month: show a fitting that wasn't possible or practical before the last patch/release with a brief explanation of what the fit is for and why it is possible now. This could be chosen from blogs or losses or a CCP original.

A status update on NEX store items such as tinfoil pirate hats, scottish kilts of different color schemes and other apparel items.

On a serious note: all the features promised and either never implemented or implemented very poorly.

For example: Incarna. Either remove the captain's quarters or expand it into stations. DO NOT LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW.

I'd love a tinfoil hat for my cynoalt(s)

I agree with that, bring back the QEN in a new form so that it doesn't reveal anything too sensitive about CCP's business model or future plans but it does pertain to eve's industry/market and overall economy.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Maybe it should contain more real news about the game and not be a big ad for EVE.

Are you seriously expect them to write anything useful/original in those squeeze pages taken out of e-marketing 101 available for only ONE NINETYNINE with 72 hours of video step-by-step guide and additional materials totally worth over ONE THOUSAND DOOLLARZ that will help you become intertubez tycoon?

Ehm... Yes, well... So, newsletter you say?
