EVE General Discussion

That the reason the 1.3mil sub loss made the news was due to the stock report that is publicly reported. If Activision-Blizzard sneezes they get media attention. If CCP could get that amount of attention they'd be in clover...but they don't gross billions a year, either.

But I'll give you another example of how much NOT is mentioned in the media (well mentioned but not picked up by the media outlets) -- the Infinity Ward vs Activision vs EA lawsuit. Had to really dig to keep up with that info in comparison.

Outside the EvE bubble and certain websites (like Massively) EvE is mentioned like a side note. Which is why the game is at 500k with all the alt accounts. Like with games like EQ/EQII you have to specifically search for them to even know their existence.

WoW? Walk into Wal-Mart and pick up the game and be home with it. Doesn't need media exposure, the game is right in every game department/store. Three friends can pick up 3 boxes and be playing in a hour together, even.

That's the real media presence, right in the hands of customers.

And you never understand that this is a great thing. Quality things tend to be like this. Most of us prefer quality over useless quantity.

Why must EVERY damn game be the same, why must every game somehow be WoW? What do you have against a small, unique niche game enjoyed by a certain type of player but that is still profitable for it's makers?

Actually I did read a lot fo those wow articles you keep mentioning and you know what wasnt in them, any sort of interesting events from the game itself. Its all about actiblizzard doing things to the game or changes that have happened to actiblizzard because figures didnt support their view of what WoW was supposed to be. Learn to distinguish a game from its makers please.

Honestly the last news worthy event ingame for WoW that I can recall was the Corrupted Blood plague, and that was back in 2005.

Ask yourself why doesn't Blizzard count level 1-9 toons?

They're completely expendable and regarded as such.

My account #s from years ago already reached over 50,000,000.

The question is more like, how many WoW players from just 25 realms out of 251 registered to play WoW, than all of EvE.

It's truly a big game. Only fanbois will deny otherwise. The Industry watches them closely though.

Until very recently null didn't have enough low end mins, it was actually easier being in highsec. It still is for other reasons. Lowsec has plenty of stations, and you can find short queues on research and copying.

Lowsec where I tend to live, has BCDs in anoms, which means it has the required zydrine and megacyte, so you can build just about anything. I see those kind of indies about, since I'm there enough to know who does what.

Moongoo isn't distributed in a balanced fashion, valuables moongoo is an alliance resource anyway, a lot of it goes to jita, is traded to reaction pos owners running the transformation chains in lowsec. I used to run my own plat moon, but there simply can't be very many players that run enough of their own moons to really do much other than mix it with bought stuff or sell it. I just sold the plat.

What low isn't attractive to is the mindless pve, doesn't recognize other people type players.

You managed to spectacularly miss the point, even though I tried to make it clear as crystal





Never mind eh

I know at least one ore-hungry mining bareass bear who mines regularly in a 0.3

Need a psychiatrist next, Ramona? Only nuts can read minds or expect others to be able too.

Amen, and that's what makes it great. But it's also what some want to tear down.

EVe lore tells you that you are a God, but EVE the actual game says "you are a scrub flying in a ship that is , at best, a disposable pawn on a giant chess board". The only decision you get is "be the Master of be MASTERED".

That choice too much for the average gamer, which is a sad commentary on the state of humanity imo.
