EVE General Discussion

Capital fights in highsec should be quite epic if it all plays out right.

Once Citadels are released, then I'll assume that capitals will be back in highsec as part of the whole Citadel destruction mechanics. If that's true, highsec will provide a way to move capitals over large distances without massive jump fatigue and a lot of 0.0 conflicts could be bought to highsec to catch out fleets moving between nullsec regions.

I hope that happens, but all assumption on my part.

eve numbers will go way up once they introduce that dynamic sp for pvp kills system I handed them on a silver platter.

or eve will die.. (exact date of server offline unknown.)

I am ok with either.

Would need to see more details, but would end up a pay for SP from how it sounds. I sell plex, buy ships on alt. Farm said alt for SP.

Oh dear ... you're mightily full of yourself.

Is there a place where we can worship you ?

Oh good lord please read what you are talking about before commenting.

Your precious regions didn't even make a scratch on a one day block of Uedema.

And a fool made of you, then resort to personal attacks.

And as a Forensic Auditor, it is my job to take data, and take lack of data and made qualified and unqualified opinion reports. Sometimes it is the data you don't have that speaks loudest to the investigation.... in this case, Quant gave us all the data we need to call 0.0 a big blue circle jerk of anom ratters.

and people still posting in this thread

starting to turn into VAPID!!!

Now now, you can't expect this "forensic auditor" to actually do simple math and add up all the high sec regions, then add up all the null regions, and see which has the higher total. You also can't expect him to admit the truth. Well, I can't anyways, he's incapable of admitting error (a telling trait) or taking into account the idea that what he thinks might be wrong..

..Which is moot as according to him he won't be around much longer to do all this arguing, he'll be having too much fun playing Elite to worry about EVE.

CCP has missed so many marketing opportunities in recent times it doesn't surprise me the game is in decline. It's predominantly been reliant on word of mouth and that unfortunately only gets you so far for so long.

Put your hand up if you saw the movie Interstellar.

I did, and having a basic understanding of what the movie was going to be about, I'm sitting there watching the ads which are played prior to the movie and was wondering what a perfect opportunity it would have been for CCP to generate interest for both new subscribers and returning vets, a movie based upon the simple premise of space exploration. Agreed, EVE and Interstellar were not a perfect fit, but at the same time they didn't need to be, as long as certain similarities were present. The wormhole plot was an added bonus, but the story as a whole was the perfect opportunity to showcase EVE to an audience that was genuinely interested in the genre as a whole. Imagine the audiences reaction after viewing "This is EVE: Uncensored" : )

Pro Tip: There have been other movies that could have been piggy backed, Interstellar was just one example. So, next time there is a movie that even remotely fits the EVE genre, dig deep into the CCP wallet and get onboard with cinema advertising, you won't regret it!

*cough*



PCU is going down, but ingame activity is doing great (it's even INCREASING) and he's pretty proud of it.

Now re-read what I said. They are OK with activity over logins. So either they're in epic denial or they have plans to monetize activity over logins.

I admit that I'm being a bit provoking here, but after all, there's enough string and hay to build a strawman with what we know.

Bigger TQ server albeit the current one is running at <20% capacity. Brain in a Box when big battles are a thing of the past. The hint at permadeath in exchange for something else. Reselling SP so noobs can go from Level 1 to Level 50 or 80 by handing money to CCP.

And of course, we are wrong to think that PCU shows the game is doing bad. Truly CCP Quant. Either you ignore subscriptions or you know that subscriptions are bound to become quite less relevant in CCP's income...

After all, none of the upcoming CCP games is subscription based. Neither DUST 514.

F2P-compatible new server.
F2P-compatible new code.
F2P-compatible economy analysis.

As I asked above, what will you do when EVE goes free to play?

Also, last question, but not the least.

What is doing CCP exactly to improve subscriptions, now that all future development plans are aimed at current players and pose zero interest to non-players?

CCP. Never what they say, always what they do. And they're giving up subscriptions for something else. Will that be bankrupcy or F2P?
