OPEN LETTER TO CCP

I was looking no place for a game to replace the awesome world you created. I believed in your david idea of creating a game and a company that would stand the test of time as far as online MMO go.

I respected your CEO for mining to replace that thorax. I stood up and yelled "Duck YES" to see the video again when he commanded it at fanfest.

I have been gifted trips to Iceland by my friends and corp mates to be apart of fanfest 4 times. I have had computer gear vacations and all kinds of gifts freely given to me because of the game you created.

What is it you want from us?

What is it you need from us?

I am sad about what is happening at CCP. You have a competitor coming to the market like SC. I want to crush them and make them feel foolish for even trying to rival my Viking friends. Yet I find myself looking to join them cause frankly you have betrayed the very core of what makes eve great.

Business is business I understand that: but your product is not isk it is the sand box and the collection of the most elite mmo space gamers in the world. We have help you create a world that is harsh, tough and fun cause that is what Iceland is. We will continue to believe in you as long as you don't become a prostitute.

You want more money then ask us. You want to charge more for this game ask us. You want to charge for expansions ask us.

In the end you will be surprised how faithful we are to support you not as eve players but as human beings.

What you have created is not taught in marketing 101 or BUS 200. It is something that very few understand. But those that understand it become richer and more powerful then anything you could imagine. If you force us to become what we hate we will leave you.

I am sorry for my spelling and sentence structure but look deep into my words and you will see what all of us truly care about.

Your friend

Now I'm confused.

Are you selling out of the game the Somer way, or staying?

Not meant to be critical of you. I think what just happened to your other threads is appalling, even if they've now back flipped on that.

I don't get it. Is this one of those "Eve is dying" threads? Can someone point me to a more relevant info on what's behind this thread?

Your thread has since been reopened. However, your best bet to get a response from CCP is to file a petition. I recommend that instead of a open letter thread on the forums.

I think the gist of it is: Somer Blink has been making mad real life bucks by being a third party reseller of game time codes somehow connected with ingame isk and Mr. Black here is quitting and cashing out his ingame assets for real life money using the same methods.

I think the answer is simple. Really simple.

  • There are rules that apply to CCP employees that prevent them from interfering with the game.

  • Those rules should now simply be applied to SOMER. He is in effect a CCP employee.

Fixed.

You're welcome, internet.

Make it slightly sexual and you have a deal.

Y'know... I'm not exactly sure what you're upset about.

Show us on the dolly where CCP touched you.

You seem to just be crying in CCPs general direction.

If there's one thing I hate, it's open letters.

I curse who ever the first person was that came up with this lame concept.

I really don't think the Somer thing was that bad.

Look, I'm pissed off about RL stuff, too, but don't take it out on CCP. It's JUST a bunch of Ishukone Watch Scorpions, FFS. They're all just going to get CONCORDed for smartbombing a cloaked SB, in a highsec mission pocket, anyway. It's not like they gifted people with anything gamebreaking, or provided an actual unfair advantage.

Somer provides an edification to the game world that may or may not keep people subbed. That means more money for CCP, and more game for us. Deal with it.
Was it wrong what CCP did? Sure... in a few ways, yes. But it wasn't anywhere near heinous. At most it warranted a couple of "dude... we'd like it if you didn't ever do that again" statements. Not two weeks of unholy playerbase rage. Afterall.... they asked us not to RMT, or mod the client, or bot. Have we stopped doing that? F**k no.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

I would like to go on record before this thread is locked that I like CCP. I also disagree with the OP on multiple points. That is all.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.
