Well at least for now. That is, until the SP skill inject packs arrives.......

As you're returning you must have left, can't be that good.

I can.

Most game companies want to make money and have a large player base.

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy as a pig in **** for the dedication of CCP sticking to keeping this a niche game. It's just not a good model if you want to make money as a company.

Mr Epeen Cool



I disagree. Most companies go the themepark route and end up becomming free to play in less than a year. How profitable is the FTP model if a company invests millions into a game. Take SWTOR for instance. Thought with the recent event sin the movie genre I bet they're about to get a huge influx of players....

No, they won't.

I keep telling this to people I know. If you ever have kids, let it grow up with oldschool computer games.

What a coincidence ! I downloaded a .d64 disk image today and played a bit on my tablet in an emulator. Wish I had my Competition Pro 500 though ... on screen pad is a poor replacement.

Don't anger the forum gods.

I thought it'd been hinted that EVE handles that need more subtly? We have our nightly shutdown, 'things happen', and suddenly wake up again feeling refreshed and as a coincidence, the asteroid fields are full again.


And then miners mine the asteroids, the industrialists refine and build with them... which gives us our equipment... and spaceships... and.... WHAT HAVE I BEEN SITTING IN ALL THIS TIME? EWWWWWW..... ShockedShockedShocked

It's the new command destroyers and upcoming station/capship changes that got me back into eve.

I'm looking forward to more changes that move the game away from blob-centric warfare and more towards actual tactics. The command destroyers in particular are exactly what I want to see more of.
