Signed! Came back after a 5 month break, thought to myself “Lets listen to Below The Asteroids” as it’s the most spacey sound track in EvE…. Had to go find it on youtube in order to hear it.

Not cool CCP, not cool.

Perhaps you should actually go to where the songs are hosted so that you can play them back in your own media player, like everybody else. Smile


Yeah I did that (well after raging tbh), and set music to 0.
I'm now down to listening to 2 or 3 EVE tunes a couple of times per week - and falling.
CCP 'wins' by diluting association.

+1 to jukebox.

Hm, just came back from a short hiatus and found that the jukebox was missing. Then I found this thread.

I'm rather disappointed as well to find that several CSM members, as well as regular forum posters that I found to be reasonable people previously have jumped on a simple petition by members of the EVE community to brand it offhand as "stupid", "childish", and generally be obnoxious to a group - however small - just wanting to express their desire to have a feature back.

1) Some have said that the jukebox does not share equal footing with other features such as the in game map, since the map is an integral part of gameplay where the jukebox is not. I disagree both personally and in principle. In my opinion the engagement of auditory sense is a vital part of any game. I still get nostalgic at the soundtrack of the first MMO I played, despite the fact that the gameplay itself sucked.

The immersion value of the jukebox in my opinion was in giving the feeling of being alone in deep, dark space when you felt like it through the EVE soundtrack, and then having the feeling of going back in and taking refuge in your ship by changing the music to something more comfortable (Your own music or one of the livelier EVE soundtracks). As one of the earlier posters mentioned, battle tunes to get the rush before going into combat. All this being available via your "ship"s interface without having to alt tab out. It made the game feel more alive, more immersive, more real. As if your in game persona literally just reached out and changed the music in his pod whenever he felt like it.

(Yes, I thought that the radio you could use to change the tunes in Commander Shepard's private room was pretty cool)

2) As a result of 1), I do believe that the jukebox is worthy of inclusion, worthy of developer time and worthy of allowance for player customization. Yes, I am aware that you may believe that it is a waste of time and taking away from the "truly" important features that require developer time, but that leads to:

3) Despite what difference in opinion we hold with regards to the matter, please at least respect that someone else could hold an opinion that is not necessarily misguided, just different from yours because of a disagreement on the basic premises, or because we enjoy different aspects of the game. It's a "smaller" feature, yes, but some people do place emphasis on the little touches that affect the game atmosphere in a big way - for themselves, at least. If we're not being offensive about it there's no reason for you to start.

After a few years not giving that much importance to the game like i once did, i felt nostalgic and wanned to play eve music while surfing in space. I was shocked to find the jukebox taken out. Please bring it back.

That thing was so relevant that, after 4 months of being created, this thread only has 19 pages. 364 entries of which many were made by people backing up CCP's decision.

Forget about the jukebox, just silence the EVE music and use whatever media player you use normally.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Bring it back, don't replace the new stuff, just give us the option to use the new type or the old-school as we wish, but keep the jukebox updated with the new tracks please :)

Yeah, The POS thread got off to a slow start too.

In 2006.

But.... we'll just push this beast along however long it takes. We finally got them to admit that POS had issues... only however many years and +1's later.

I'm patient.

Signed. Bring it back please. Disabled the music after all those years, listening to winamp when not on comms.

Personally, I don't like the fact you simply removed a great and useful tool for something that most people I know are not using at all. In all honesty, there is no way it would take more than a few mandays to bring it back.
