This protest is pointless, really. I can come back next month, create a character and buy more skill points than this toon.

Hilmar's email is sickening.

I feel sorry for the CCP employees who had any kind of pride in the game that they had made. It's clear that for Hilmar it's just a machine to make money, he is like the art dealer with no appreciation of art.

EVE is special, as is its community. Imagine a group of players so passionate as to respond this vehemently to this bastardisation in any other game ever... Hilmar is carving up the corpse before it's dead.

Enjoy those sweetbreads, make sure you suck on them.

The glorious thing is that Hilmar's quoted success is, in fact, meaningless. Unless there was a significant bump PLEX sales, and that's just not going to happen at the stated volume, nothing noteworthy occurred.

CCP IS A COMPANY! THE OBJECTIVE OF WHICH IS TO MAKE MONEY!

NO MATTER THE SITUATION NOT EVERY PERSON CAN BE MADE HAPPY!

I Like walking around in the stations as it does add another level to the game but I think it should stop close to where is it. the entire CQ idea I like.

Think about it peeps. Don't let your own self importance go to your head.



You obviously don't understand what has happened.

Everything every one of these geeks ever worked hundreds of hours for in this game.

Is now valued at ZERO.



Really? Over being able to walk in a Captains Quarter, a new money system (Granted I do think that should not have been implemented), A new shop to spend money..

Oh I bet you are complaining about the "Lie" or what ever you want to call it.. Grow up.. everyone lies..

Fine... you'll look at what we individuals do rather than what we say?

2 of 3 accounts unsubbing this evening.

The third one is held short term on the off chance that CCP comes to their senses.


Hey Pann... do you like what I did?

Cancelled, but I have 50 days left. Hopefully they look at recently cancelled subs, rather than currently active subs.

Christ, I finally read up to page 178 and it's still growing faster then I can read. This outdoes the last summer exponentially. And yet still CCP manages to make it worse by the second...

Go full bore. you can always come back, and I'll bet they are watching the cancellations, not the currently active subscriptions. Besides, I'm sure you have enough time left to see how things pan out for the next week or two.

VERY PREDICTABLE - CCP is, yes, predictable lies, smugness, arrogance etc etc

NOISE - the silence is deafening

STAY THE COURSE - because your own employees need to be told that, because you are out of touch with them too

CHANGE - things are changing, hows the cancellations?

INNOVATION - You invented Microtransactions too?

CHANGE THE WORLD - Yes, some competitor is going to get a bunch of new customers, how many starving people did you personally feed to change their world or did you just change your world?

You kinda have to feel for the poor lower to middle management types at CCP who were going "OH ****! OH ****! THIS IS GONNA FAIL HARD! WHAT THE HELL ARE THE GUYS AT THE TOP THINKING?! OH GOD! GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A NEW JOB! OH HELP ME JESUS/MUHAMMAD/ASUS! I DON'T WANNA BE POOR(ER)!".

Betcha money those guys knew the customers well enough to know this **** wouldn't fly.

THis all seemed so familiar to me then it hit me -- I have seen this before in a little game called MW4. The comparisons here are uncanny and a bit chilling as it was the reason I left that franchise never to return.

We live in interesting times; in fact CCP is the kind of company that if things get repetitive we instinctively crank it up a notch. That, we certainly have done this week. First of we have Incarna, an amazing technological and artistic achievement. A vision from years ago realized to a point that no one could have imaged but a few months ago. It rolls out without a hitch, is in some cases faster than what we had before, this is the pinnacle of professional achievement. For all the noise in the channel we should all stand proud, years from now this is what people will remember.

But we have done more, not only have we redefined the production quality one can apply to virtual worlds with the beautiful Incarna but we have also defined what it really means to make virtual reality more meaningful than real life when it comes to launching our new virtual goods currency, Aurum.

Naturally, we have caught the attention of the world. Only a few weeks ago we revealed more information about DUST 514 and now we have done it again by committing to our core purpose as a company by redefining assumptions. After 40 hours we have already sold 52 monocles, generating more revenue than any of the other items in the store.

This we have done after months of research by a group of highly competent professionals, soliciting input and perspective from thought leaders and experts in and around our industry. We have communicated our intention here internally in very wide circles through the Virtual Economy Summit presentation at the GSM, our Fearless newsletter, sprint reviews, email lists and multiple other channels. This should not come as a surprise to anyone.

Currently we are seeing _very predictable feedback_ on what we are doing. Having the perspective of having done this for a decade, I can tell you that this is one of the moments where we look at what our players do and less of what they say. Innovation takes time to set in and the predictable reaction is always to resist change.

We went out with a decisive strategy on pricing and we will stay the course and not flip flop around or knee jerk react to the predictable. That is not saying nothing will change, on the contrary, in fact we know that success in this space is through learning and adapting to _what is actually happening_ and new knowledge gained in addition to what we knew before and expected.

All that said, I couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished as a company, changing the world is hard and we are doing it as so many times before! Stay the course, we have done this many times before.

(end)

You guys at CCP are giant-mile-long-nose Pinocchio's with flaming boutique pants. In other words, liars. And arrogant, blatant ones at that.
