Well, they're threatening to cancel or they're actually quitting because they don't want Incarna to be implemented, or they're not happy with the speed of implementation, or they're not happy with the method of implementation, or they're not happy with how the developers aren't listening to them, or they're not happy with the colour of the lint in their belly button.AlansJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545254568438762495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558095263185110996.post-72249339032743950252011-03-03T07:34:59.415+11:002011-03-03T07:34:59.415+11:00Mr. Black Claw,

If used wisely, CCP will be able to reap benefits from it. They want to produce a product that enhances the bottom line. ANd they'll accomplish that by making a game people want to play.<br /><br />But just because you have an avenue to have your voice heard does not make the game yours. You may make suggestions, but you aren't signing the checks. <br /><br />Personally, I think the CSM is a bunch of hooey, that game design decisions are made by two or three "competing" factions within CCP, and that getting bent out of shape over it is, well, sad. <br /><br />BTW, PLEASE do something about the font color. I can only see the font by keeping a line or two in the planet's atmosphere halo.

In some of the blogs you get the sense that behind the scenes they are pretty sure that CCP is two releases from forcing them to have pointy ears.<br /><br />EVE has a problems (from a business standpoint) in that it is a very abstract game. I've attempted to get several of my friends to play (all veteran gamers...high IQ types). None of them stayed. As a newbie, unless you happen to stumble into a very friendly corporation there is very little "you" in the game. You're even taught (and the gameplay encourages) that the spaceships are disposable.<br /><br />The Incarna work is important in that it puts a little "you" into the game and gives people a little more chance to get hooked on the Internet Spaceships game we all know and love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563473899436330031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558095263185110996.post-28377176315038948032011-02-24T07:28:09.631+11:002011-02-24T07:28:09.631+11:00I support this sentiment.I support this sentiment.KeroZelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566725806973661734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558095263185110996.post-18311854561466329402011-02-24T05:21:37.864+11:002011-02-24T05:21:37.864+11:00Most of the veterans that I have heard are upset o...Most of the veterans that I have heard are upset or quitting eve are being very fair about it all. They are quick to acknowledge it <em>IS</em> a game and belongs to CCP and is their call to make about what to include or where to go with it all.<br /><br />They are however expressing their regret that the game no longer meets their expectations, fills their needs, works for them. A fair few have decided to look elsewhere for their entertainment. This is their choice and for each experienced player that leaves we lose a bit of the community that helps make EVE special.Kename Finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116212305577417333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558095263185110996.post-3820030938683035412011-02-23T22:38:56.827+11:002011-02-23T22:38:56.827+11:00I must say I do get surprised time after time how ...I must say I do get surprised time after time how people feel that because they pay for a game they can then tell the developer how they should make the game. This is not where you can have everything your own way. So well said on EVE being CCP's baby. Theirs to build, theirs to ruin, there is a whole world out there with plenty of other things to do when you no longer like it. Which I think may be another problem some people have, clinging to EVE like it is all they got.Myrhial Arkenathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481765540552289690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558095263185110996.post-48928406626428564002011-02-23T15:46:37.063+11:002011-02-23T15:46:37.063+11:00+1 internets sirrah+1 internets sirrahParasojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037396025518894441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558095263185110996.post-21262212563039904052011-02-23T14:40:16.349+11:002011-02-23T14:40:16.349+11:00http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whinge<a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whinge" rel="nofollow">http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whinge</a>AlansJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545254568438762495noreply@blogger.com
