I used to be a big fan of EVE; in beta and after launch for a few years. But when CCP openly started trying to raise funds for Pakistan of all countries, subsequently ended it for me.
First of all, gaming companies should stick to game design and not politics; which like it or not, openly raising money for a controversial country like Pakistan is bringing up politics. Pakistan is a known terrorist harbinger and they continuously threaten other countries with their nuclear capability.
Many long-time gamers know the only true way a gamer can make an impact on a company is with their money; and CCP won't be getting mine as long as they continue to involve not only themselves but try to coerce gamers in raising funds for Pakistan.
So all in all, I could care less about any EVE updates until CCP gets their head out of their rear.
Yeah, cause clearly a charity service that is supposed to help people that lost their homes in a flood is act of evil and sign of game developer supporting a government you don't agree with. Makes perfect sense.
Even more so, im betting CCP is secretly funding Pakistan's research of nuclear weapons so when the day comes they can nuke you into orbit! How's that for marketing campaign uh?
Surely leaving poor to their own will fix all the problems in the world and won't cause any sort of backlash, especially among the anti-western part of population. Yeah. And events of Cold War in middle-eastern countries made em so much happier cause they got guns to shoot people!
Have fun being naive about Pakistan's citizen's actually seeing any of that money. Also, don't expect me to reply again to someone who clearly doesn't understand global politics. Like I said earlier, CCP needs to stick to gaming and not politics, the previous poster is proof of that. There isn't enough maturity on these forums for this kind of discussion.
You do understand though that most europeans dont agree with what the USA is up to these days?? and we dident mush like all the shit they pulled druing the 60s and 70s... Im not going to go into details but Chille comes to mind. And training the afghan people to shoot russians? hmm might have an impact on whats happening today...
Just a sugestion before you go judging a hole country as Terrorist you might actaully learn a thing or two about global politics yourself.

I like what I hear.
Fix rockets! Fix Assault Frigs! Fix lag!
I believe the word you are looking for is "narcisis" . The only need for an avatar isto see yourself.
On another note, people do like to fly somewhere, get out of the ship, do stuff andn fly off. That would be the only real use for avatars.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
