EVE General Discussion

If memory serves me correctly they also get x number of free accounts that they dont have to pay for, but again this may have changed.

But to be honest which would you prefer playing a game where the devs play and have a good idea of what they game is about from a players point of view or would you just prefer them all to be code monkeys who only see the back end of the game

Unless you happen to be a real Saint, no person is immune.

What do the internal affairs people get for perks? All the API data they want? Invisible ships that can go through a station and they watch you spin your ship correctly?

Does hilmar get all the data downloaded to excel programs he wants as perks.

cough* T20...

Simple, they have the right to use your credit card to pay their own sub, they can pick your isk to buy ships you will never be able to use, when they fart dozens of plex appear in their hangar and they can instantly kill you just by eye balling you.

You should fear those, they're nastier than Goons but not strong has PL, they're now training supercaps and you should know also when you take 45D to train stuff they take 45mn afk cofee shop and fresh beer.

The dawn of Achuras was upon us.

The rules covering CCP Employees are not public as far as I know, but the gist of the rules has already been posted above.

As has been stated in this thread, CCP employees are allowed to play EVE, using normal accounts. In addition to be required to follow the EULA, the TOS and other rules to the letter, any 'gray' area gameplay by CCP employees is forbidden. Griefing, scamming, exploiting or the abuse of knowledge of coming game changes (market speculation) absolutely fall under that.

Furthermore, it is forbidden to reveal that we work for CCP when playing on our normal characters and should a character become outed as a CCP employee character either the character is deleted permanently or copied to a new characterID, that allows you to continue playing - but any and all social ties that character had have to be severed. The actions depend on how the character was outed.

And needless to say, Internal Affairs watch all CCP employee accounts very carefully.

Witness protection program for when the outing is not at fault of the developer (ie somone hacking ccp servers and downloading a chat log between the nomral character and a dev)

Yub.

It is a bit harsh, but if a CCP employee maintained a steady name and identity, everyone would message them with 'Can I have free stuff'. No only that, but joining a corp would be a huge conflict of interest.
