It's good to see them testing the waters of choosing Reddit over their own forums just like SoE which was so successful that it is now called Daybreak Games and has fired much of the management.

Keep it up CCP I'm serious when I say that I don't like 2007 peak player count levels. I really enjoy 2006 levels and I know you guys are ignorant enough to achieve them.


Edit: I just hope that when EvE fails because of you guys that the game development community's take away from it is not that games can only live so long but that great games with a very dedicated player base can still be slowly killed off by developer ignorance.

Yea, that doesn't make sense.

Not getting hysterical or anything, but between this (CCP not using their own means of communicating to communicate with us) and the fact that they won't be streaming HALF of the alliance tournament suggests to me that they may be backsliding into their past 'tone deaf' ways.

Based on the reddit "what do you want us to say in the dev blog?" post, I'd guess that nothing has changed in their plans for the ship skins (despite the length of this thread), and they're at a loss about what to write in the dev blog that won't inflame us.

Oh well. Ultimately if they're not convinced that they'd make more money with universal skins, it's their prerogative to release how they want to. Good luck, CCP.

While a little over 120 people have posted, 5 of them cover more than 25% of the posts.

From my experience CCP is in no hurry to respond to threads in which just a few people post over and over again without actually saying much. It's not the length of a thread, it's the quality that gets their attention. And there's not a lot of quality here. Just the same few people rephrasing the same post ad infinitum.

One man could post one idea here that would make this game a lot better and would bring some subscribers back, and CCP would not even care about one man with one idea, that is what you wanted to say?

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I am also a bit put out by the assumption that posting on Reddit is a substitute for dev blogs or posting on the official forums.

I agree.
Why bother posting in the Dev Blogs, why bother creating Eve Update, in fact why bother at all..? Just slap it on Reddit and be done with it, right?
Wow!

I think the reason they didn't tell us anything after the meeting, and haven't posted a blog, is they were hoping people would just forget. That way they don't need to explain themselves, or anything.

I mean his comment on this thread said they were all in agreement, so why not just tell us? Nope, not a word, dev responses from that point forward.. Finally half the week is over, posts are made here and on reddit about the lack of a blog, and is there any response on the Eve Forums? Nope, nada. On Reddit? Oh sorry, though we didn't needed to do that despite saying we would cause I gave some non-committal answers earlier in the week.

It really is a load of bullshit. That "bug" was HUGE for eve. Everyone who knew about it was trying it out and having a blast. So not only do they shut it down, they they refuse to address the issues raised, with the only devs who even tried to talk about it here on the forums (and I give them credit for being here) being ones outside of the decision process.

The fact that there's more Dev activity on Reddit rather than their own forums really irks me. How about the devs take half the time they spend on Reddit, and put it here, to the actual site they run for their community, and talk to us. Most of the topics with Dev tags are a lie, it's either a joke post, or something about we hear you, or here's my opinion but I have no say.. How about the devs who actually make these calls take some time out of their days to talk with the community, on their own forums, and address issues rather than dismiss them. That or just delete these forums and move everything to Reddit, which 80% of the time seems to be the ONLY way to get a Dev to respond to an actual issue or concern.

One thing I think CCP deserves credit for is the customer experience they provide beyond staring at a cardboard game box. The relationship between the company and its customers is adversarial, sure, but absolute value is the company is real, and employs real people who like reddit.

That said, leaving those comments before a holiday and then a weekend is classic CCP. This drama is worth the subs in itself.

15% of remaining is also Twitter Tweets. Devs love to tweet things, just not make posts on their own forums?


Its kind of depressing the communtiy manager is handling this like this

They don't respond to threads period. Saying that "if only we had quality posts, CCP would listen" is the same as saying "if you read my bio and follow ALL the rules I have in there, you'll get your ISK doubled."

If, as you attest, CCP doesn't respond at all, I have to wonder at your prolific posting here. Would it not be better to find something productive to do with your time? Like unsub in protest?

Unsubbing won't do much, since I'm (unfortunately) prepaid for another 8 months.

And as far as my posts, it's not CCP that provides the fun on the forums, it's you and the others who reply. Also, you average at 3.4 posts a day, I average at 4.3, so other than in this thread I don't think I'm overdoing it.

That's exactly what it is, too. For me to relate, all I have to consider is what would happen if we received Kim Kardashian's wardrobe and then it was all taken away.
