I think they should focus on Walking in Stations again.

I honestly believe that EVE is too big of a project for CCP to take on successfully. It's like giving a handicapped child to a teenage mom who is afflicted with ADD.

That being said, I still enjoy the game in a sado-massochistic way. I always end up re-subbing like some love starved stalker.

Sov 5.0, then

Citadels & the new structure system, then

Walking & Interacting with other players in Stations.

Yes.

First of all, they weren't given EVE, they created EVE. And second, CCP is not a person, they are a business, and businesses can GROW along with their product, in order to manage it no matter how complex it gets. It's actually the whole point of a business.

They can "take it on successfully" just fine. If they're acting like a teenager afflicted with ADD (I'm not sure that they are), that's not the fault of the product or its complexity. It's just a reflection of their management and company policies.

I don't think there's a large amount of people complaining in general. You notice them because people that are happy aren't complaining. So you only hear them when they're not. I would not call that group big.

I'd rather have more people being introduced to EVE than changing things to cater for a wider audience. More advertisement and a discount on subscription price after the trial might go a long way.

Heavy advertising and a free month or 2. Stop catering to asshats who's mission statement is literally to kill the game.

I mean really, there have been CSM's whos doctrine was to destroy Eve. Literally ******* unbelievable.

Imagine if your next elected leader had a website that stated they were out to destroy your country.

We had to destroy the MMO to save the MMO? It worked with Star War Galaxies' NGE, no?


Sorry, still too soon?

A marketing department that focuses on gaining new players would be key IMO. ATM it seems to be focused on bringing old players back into the fold (like me). New players brings new money which brings in new hardware and people for software. I think CCP has made some great strides in resolving the worst of the old problems even while reintroducing new problems. The new problems are not game breakers anymore (remember when 60 vs 60 would literally crash the system? I'll take TiDi over that any day).

New player experience needs to be addressed in order to retain those new customers.

The forums need less policing, they used to be more fun and more people. The locks get put on WAY to frequently and with too little provocation.

The other things are getting worked on, but they are not just a few lines of code here. Skins are not even an issue and that seems to be peoples biggest complaint these days.

In other words, keep on keeping on CCP.

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose. Unless you podded them...and collected their corpse.

Not at all. It's a GRRR CCP post. Every abusive relationship needs an enabler.

Like ours.

Maybe.

They seem like they have been starting to focus on the right things since they actually started to add more stuff to the game. I'm quite enjoying the effect of these announced changes is having on nullsec players

this would be great.. except for the fact that CSM has zero power what so ever. so the entire CSM could want to kill eve, but unless CCP wants to kill eve, then they can;t do ****.
