EVE General Discussion

I really miss the thematic log in screen. While I multibox and I'd prefer not to see it on my alt accounts, I loved seeing it on my main account every time I logged in. I think CCP took away from the atmosphere of the game by removing it. Setting the mood when you do an activity is important and CCPs intro screens always setup my game play sessions quite well.

I'd suggest they return it and have it on by default but enable an option to turn it off. That way I'll turn it off for my alt accounts and keeping going with the main account.

change your shortcut to start exefile.exe, in the eve online/bin. Starts up the classic login screen :) without going through a launcher, its actually easier to logging that way IMO.

Don't mistake me. I am not suggesting that we don't keep CCP on their toes. I wholeheartedly agree that the EvE community has had a HUGE impact on the development of this game. That is part of what is so amazing about CCP and this game. In all my years I have never played a game where the developers so intently listened to their subscribers as to actually hire staff from among them.

All I'm saying is that we should be a little more grateful and give some credit where it is due. They made an error, big deal, welcome to being human. They very quickly owned up to it publicly and took exhaustive steps to correct it which were, by and large successful. What more can we as a community ask for in this situation?

Nobody is served by treating CCP with disrespect or by threatening to unsub your 75 accounts. This isn't Incarna, it is just a new launcher that you aren't even required to use and is no where near as bad as some make it out to be. I was able to effortlessly log all 5 of my accounts in last night, switch accounts, etc etc with absolutely no extra effort than the old launcher. In fact, even faster because I can just select my accounts from the drop down in the launcher instead of waiting for a new loading screen to open.
