The newsletter was not fake. I guess this is how it feels when someone reads your diary, something you hadn't intended anyone else to see. Not to deflect the heat but to explain why what I'm about to say, I wasn't involved with writing it. The only reason I mention that is because I am not going to presume to know the minds of the people who did have comments in there. I am not going to throw people I love under the bus or to the lions or whatever. I can't/won't answer questions about what they said or why they said it.
Our newsletters are written as a means to bring about discussion (that sometimes can even become heated debate) among our coworkers. That's really all I can say about it. I am not a game designer. I'm a mouthpiece. I'll admit it. By the time I get involved, the decisions have been made. Not making excuses for myself, just explaining.
Holy crap on a cracker! It's real... wow, unbelievable! I mean, I've been posting all over this thread, assuming it was real. But stiil, now that it really is... just wow! |

The CCP replies have been less than stellar so far, so you seem to be right on target. |

CCP, you suck donkey balls. Your mother cooks socks in hell. Youve destroyed everything I truly loved about EvE for short term gains. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. THE WHIRLWIND MOTHER****ER! Gratz on your declining playerbase GG ccp, gg |

READ THE POST CIRCLED IN REDBah, some people, why they do this? This is so bad, why CCP is heading in this direction?  |

FREE HELICITY!! Replace CCP management before the game totally dies to absolute stupidity. Soon all kill boards, TS and Vent servers, all fan sites and everything else will have to shut down or pay $99 to CCP for the pleasure of being ****ed over. Quote:

CCP are jealous of SOE, they too want to have their NGE and dead games. |

Edited by: Darkstorm708 on 24/06/2011 02:55:34I haven't been around this game as long as I would have liked to have been, and I have not enjoyed this game at it's peak, and frankly I was looking forward to it so much. This game had so much playability in the future for me and it saddens me that now, I won't be able to enjoy this game as much as I would have hoped. The most annoying thing is, I re-subbed about an hour before finding out about this, luckily only for 1 month. I will play as much as I can during the one month I subscribed for, I will get out as much as I can and have as much fun as possible, and then I will be quitting.  R.I.P EvE Online. You were good while it lasted. |

In 2 hours and 15 minutes the CCP Pann thread has exploded to 38 pages. Half as much as this thread has gotten up to, really incredible.
1150 posts in 2 hours = 600 posts an hour = 10 posts a minute.
Staying steady from the last time I checked the posting rate.

Probably why the all the blue bars stopped showing up. about 30% - 40% of it is just massive copy pasta, and then another large portion is OMFG WALL-O-TEXT posts, and by the time I read a single wall of text post the thread has grown by 1 - 2 pages, so yeah. pretty sure they're just going to let that fire calm down a bit before posting anything else in there. |

I've got about 30 minutes till my character can be sent off to biomass so I thought I'd chime in one last time. There's really nothing anyone from CCP could say to keep me as a customer. The newsletter that was leaked clearly shows CCP's true future vision as a company. I've been playing off and on since 2004 and I've seen lots of changes, some good, some bad. But those changes were always consistent with the company's core vision of creating an epic mmo that was a true sandbox. MT ruins everything! It will keep Dust from ever being anything more than novelty and will prevent WOD from ever being taken seriously. It will ruin EVE. This is a true NGE moment.
In a way, you're doing me a favor CCP. I've got some serious health issues that need to be addressed. It's time I start focusing on how my real life avatar looks. It's been fun and thanks for all the pew pew!

No if, CCP confirmed it was real in their damage control thread. You gotta go in a few pages to find it. Linkage |

Edited by: Azahni Vah''nos on 24/06/2011 04:16:53The only solution that I can see is the 'bad apples' at CCP need to be removed as sad as that is to say. How could you go to Fanfest for example and have some of these people greet you with a smile, you'd just want to tell them to get lost, knowing that they just see you as a walking wallet. edit: passion shouldn't = violence  |

My family is celebrating CCP's recent strategic move.
They know that it's implementation will mean I'll be spending much more time with them, rather than nuturing bro-love on the internet under the pretense of "playing a game".
A final thought as CCP self conflagurates into oblivion. I'm sure it's in their minds that we're all just ranting and it'll pass. There was a leading website devoted to Audi enthusiasts that was for years self moderated and kept a fevered pace because it served the user, not the dollar. One day Internet Brands, a buyer of websites for profitability bought it up, since it had such a strong user base and was viewed from all over the world. They came in, changed the forum software, and went to a completely different format.
There was ranting and emo, there was posts from The New Management that they had the user's interests in mind. It got worse.
Then one day the user base said, enough. A few went off, started a new forum, and in a span of ONE WEEK, 99.9% of the userbase moved over to the new forum. A website that had a 100k userbase and over a million hits/week went to 100 active users and 3-8 posts a day.
If CCP thinks that nothing can really break the interia of the established userbase, they really should think again. It only takes one viral event to break an internet phenom.
With that I'll wait to see how things fall out. I'll cancel the subscription, as I pay a year at a time. If by the time the renewal is due the crap hasn't been washed away, then I'll be one of the many I expect that will move on to the next best thing in MMO's. |

I'm waiting on a new EVE, ran by a sane company. I think a lot of us are. |
