Any news?


sorry I really meant to check this last Monday but I had a baby instead. After that everything got a bit hectic. I'm on vacation right now but I'll have somebody double check for me.



You had a baby? Give the lady some credit man... Bear

Bunnies shouldn't count regardless of the "but dust is free" side of it, at least not right now since the integration with EVE is faaaaar from complete

Congratulations Tuxford.

How ironic that your work to sort out an issue with the population count of EvE corps was interupted by your adding to the population count of Iceland. Smile

Wait Tuxford and Punkturais off for maternity/paternity reasons at the same time! Did CCP have some sort of mental staff night out 9 months ago!


I think Punkturis mentioned that their team is supposed to have 3 babies within a month, counting spouses.

It seems that Dust 514 mercs members of a corp are counted in the head count of a corp with regards to war declaration cost. CCP is closing the "inactive account" hole (inactive capsuler members won't count), but Dust being free to play it's easy for people wanting to make themselves harder to wardec to inflate their numbers.

So intended or just not well thought off side effect?

Your thoughts?


My thoughts are that the wardec cost should reflect the aggressor's headcount, not the defender's. After all, are you not essentially purchasing a license to kill? Deer do not pay for the hunter's license, the hunter pays for the privilege of killing the deer.

So is the baby counted in the wardec costs against Dad's corp or not?

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

DUST Mercenaries no longer affect the war declaration cost.


CCP Tuxford and whoever you handed the flame to, thank you.
