Fix'd.
It's also a good illustration of why consumable-style content is such a waste of everyone's time. Lol

Half of that is probably video content I would assume.

Eve Online is simply a tool set, its up to the playerbase to create content.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

EVE is PvP arena where PvE is used to turn naive/new (MMORPG) players into easy targets.

Don't expect too many updates for optional (PvE) content.

I can't figure out if this thread is about Expansion content or Sol fondling his feminine side while he attempts to fondle everyone else's.

I seriously regret my decision now.

What have I done...

Well, if fun were measured in GB you might have a point.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Expansion means to expand on the original product. Please tell me how new content does not do this.

The size doesn't matter (or does it?) Blink

Best patch / expansion feature ever (for me) was the warp speed change. It really altered the game in a fun way, changed tactics, buffed the role of all frigate class ships in a fleet, etc. And i'm sure the size of that change on my harddrive is allmost not noticeable.

Diablo 3, a failure of a game that Blizzard are desperately trying to backpedal with. They need every GB to reverse their terrible design decisions.

Please don't compare CCP with casual-pandering sellout companies like Blizzard.

Also, since when did expansion size equal content quality?

Why is the Blizzard-style huge content release every few years the only valid definition of "expansion"?

It's just two different ways of doing things.
