Prior to the alpha system, if you broke up with EVE Online it was a harsh excommunication. Players were cut off completely.

Now you can take a break and pop in from time to time do a bit of training and have a look around. It keeps a connection between the player and EVE. I think that's a good thing.

Word! EVE has always been "Too Much" of a game. Breaks are necessary. If you come back YOU were meant for EVE.

But Schrodinger's sandbox does not rely on a quantum superposition, it relies on merely asking the question "Is the sandbox dead or alive?"

Then you will get so many contradictory answers you will forget what the question was in the first place Big smile

The CSM gets in the way of CCP communicating properly with the players of this game.

After all we are not just players, we are customers.

Time for the CSM to be disbanded.

To sandbox, or not to sandbox.
That is the question.
Is the sandbox dead or alive?
Can we only tell by measuring it?
And by measuring it, define it?
And each person who performs a measurement has a different perspective, which means a different result.

Perhaps we all think outside the box
Each of us with our own personal EVE

Each of us in our own sandbox
If we decide EVE is a sandbox

Perhaps we are all in our personal sandboxes
All of us looking at the stars

Indeed. Now you never really quit the game. Which is best for both players and CCP.

So it's official then.

There really is no escaping EVE Online.

GG, CCP.
