  • Beyond that, keep in mind, players pay, devs get paid. For devs, dealing with criticism and trying to deliver a quality product IS THEIR JOB. When gaming forums are toxic after a company delivered a steaming pile of poo, devs often try to claim that…
  • Cryptic studios also opened the C-store, to buy game items with real money, right from the start, thus charging customer box fees, AND subscription fees, AND game store fees. Bill Roper and other morons point to WoW and say that microtransactions ar…
  • Cryptic Studios (home of Bill Roper), released Star Trek Online unfinished. They promised full pve for both Federation side and Klingon side, but the box only included Federation side full pve. Should players be happy with half a game?  In WoW terms…
  • This is one of those topics that is NOT complicated, but is made so by devs, and dev-puppet sites like MMORPG.com.   Some players, some people in any group, are obnoxious. Sure. As in any situation, usually that minority is easy to ignore. …
  •       For fanboys who protest, I’ll lay out the obvious: 3 character slots per account. Only 1 character can mature at a time on each account. It takes years for a character to mature. What does that mean? If you wanna do the equivalent o…
  •         As somebody mentioned in this thread, there’s another business model out there for mmos, and that’s CCP’s Eve model. On the surface it’s a flat subscription fee with free expansions, end of story. That holds true for some casual …
  • Only one character skilling up at once. Here’s where it gets tricky for fanboys and non-Eve players alike. It’s not necessarily so easy to understand at first. I’m sorry if I am not explaining it well but, here goes… You ‘skill’ up by a …
  • Fanboy nonsense about multiple accounts: “You don’t need multiple accounts, nobody is forcing you.” Me: Correct, nobody is forcing you to have multiple accounts any more than anyone is forcing anyone in other games to have alts, but players DO, …
  •       To the myth that it’s easy to make money in Eve and play for free with game time cards: Lol. Eve fanboys always bring this up. /facepalm. Here’s the math you just don’t understand. Again, just mind boggling how wrong fanboys get things.…
  • Liranan: The trolls whining about EVE being so old and cry that WoW wasn't chosen are ignorant to the fact that WoW is younger than EVE by a few months only, making WoW a 2003 game, as well. Irony is delicious. Me: I don’t care if WoW won or not, …
  • CyberWiz you’re 10x more reasonable and logical than the average fanboy, but still, obviously, way, way, way off the mark. What is true though is that CCP and the game Eve, are, objectively, or as close as a person can come to objectivity, deeply fl…
  •     As I said above, and I repeat often in threads like this, if the game is fun for you, that’s great, I don’t wanna rain on your parade, it’s none of my business. I’m happy if you’re happy with it. I’m just saying that when you take away t…
  •     P.S. Their own players have no confidence in CCP progress and response feedback. Eve has a CSM, Council of Stellar Management, a group of players voted for by the players who go to Iceland to discuss game changes with CCP. Almost nobo…
  • The game doesn’t have content per se like most mmorpgs. Eve is a ‘sandbox’ game, not an ‘amusement park’ game. It’s like an mmo equivalent of Team Fortress 2. That’s one reason the ‘expansions’ aren’t really expansions, and the reason the ‘expansion…
  • Lost all respect for Mmorpg.com.   Apparently they don’t really know Eve that well, they just accept whatever bs CCP uses so well to lure people in, or CCP just happened to pay them the most, or get their editors some hookers, who knows.   C…
  •         Without quoting specific lines in the above posts, my take on the interview you guys are talking about… To that interview you guys are talking about… I don’t know why it’s such a point of contention. Bill Roper is a horri…
  •   championFan, “Pro forum tip: get informed before speaking” Industry standards, and getting what you pay for… Nothing means anything when taken out of context. Yes, two, and only two, so far, WoW pets cost 10 dollars. It’s disturbin…
  •       ChampionFan: “To summarize: Costume packs (some of which can be unlocked in game), action figures, more char slots, name changes, retcons/respecs. Really nothing to get upset about.”   Unbelievable how every game has fanboys who ser…
  •   I want to hear more about the RMT, on top of box and subscription cost, I mean other than the industry standard name change, server change one time fees stuff. Introducing endless microtransactions on top of a full subscription fee isn't right. …
  •     I try most mmorpgs that come out. I level a while in each, take some screenshots, explore, report back what I know in conversation with other players. That, I guess, is why my opinion counts, perhaps, in this discussion, even though I haven’…
