Take a look in SISI, you'll see you just did the right choice, come back Lol

Stuff is getting better, from little annoying stuff to big stuff, sure there's a lot of work to do and some incredible complex game has eve will never be perfect or achieved but the good bases have bean set these days, dev's are doing an incredible good job to please everyone from old jerks to newbs.

Just log and have fun doing stuff.

It's an all out effort to win the community back and show them that EVE has a new lease of life. The only real feature is the new gank ships - bug fixing, polish and updates are shaping up nicely.

It'll be interesting to see what CCP plan for Summer now they're back on track...Blink

CCP realizing how bad WoD would fail and refocusing (rightfully so) back on EvE. This expansion is basically the 'We need our customers happy again' expansion.


You are so misinformed its disgusting.

1. WoD has nothing to do with Eve, other than CCP owns both. They had to cut something.
2. They had a great expansion planned but couldn't implement it so we are getting this expansion instead.


This expansion is basically the 'We need our customers happy again' expansion but we cant make that happen, so we pulled this one out of our ass.

Speaking of pulling stuff out of asses, what's this mystery expansion they were planning to do that only you seem to know anything about?

Well, I believe he is referring to (since the infamous 18 months is over) the general plan to release an expansion based on not only bug fixes and iteration on existing content, but also multi player establishments. They axed the latter to concentrate on the former. Not necessarily a bad thing considering the circumstances, as long as proper planning (a bit later than it should have been done) continues in the back ground.

Yeah but let's be honest, even if they didn't have a subscriber revolt, do you think they'd have had the multiplayer stuff ready in time? They didn't even have racial captain's quarter ready for the "proper" Incarna release over the summer.

Quoted for truth.

It is patch material, not expansion material. Look through the list of stuff and its mainly graphical updates, a reopening of the null ISK faucets and a bunch of long overdue common sense fixes .. some of the fixes have been listed as Soon™ for years like POS fuel pellets/blocks.

On the whole: Useless piece of crap. Hope summer 2012 has some meat on it.
