PR is obviously not one of ccps strong sides. Nothing new here though.

On the positive side, they just put storefronts (new&improved addition to contracts for corps) and weapon linking (no more changing ammo for 8 guns separately) on sisi..

Now to finally bring some content into this thread:

"Ghost training" will be stopped at downtime if the account has been unsubscribed for 3 days or more, it is not an immediate stop and by petitioning you should have it sorted before the training stops.

I feel terribly sorry for you.

But considering your post history, the tinfoil is naturally strong with you.

Hello Capsuleers,

The Secure section of the EVE website is undergoing essential maintenance presently and it is currently unreachable. The issue concerns a problem with the server at our billing service provider and we are in contact with them to solve the issue and get an estimation on when we will be back up. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope to have the secure section back up as soon as possible.

A news article has been posted in the Player News Center.

[yellow]Update[/yellow] (2008.10.14 14:44:00): We're still working with our billing service provider to get an update on when this will be sorted.

If you were planning to cancel your account today but you're unable to do so and you are billed for another cycle, please create a petition in the Billing & Account category and we will cancel your account and reverse the charge.

[yellow]Update[/yellow] (2008.10.14 15:41:00): We are working with our billing services partners to address this issue which is being caused by server issues on their end of the pipe and thereby beyond our control. They have assured us that they are doing all they can to get things working properly. We'll keep checking back with them and update you as information becomes available.

Reading is not one of your strong skills cosy.

Certificates have been in the F&I section for close to 3 years now. I HIGHLY doubt they nicked anything from any game with this feature, especially considering the development cycles are damn long in eve.

Ans yes, the dev was right. The wardec system is broken, has been for a long time. It's broken in the same sense that player bounties are not working. That has been a topic of discussion for a long time, the P nerf was just Ccp admitting that there was a problem with that game mechanic.

---

or they make it so you can only attack a POS when the majority of the defending alliance is online and in that system because otherwise it's "unfair". Sound silly?

The more player friendly the game gets, the more simple goals they introduce the more this becomes WOW in space, where people can just PVE it up and get to lvl 70 and get their uber sword of ultimate doom.

Did you seriously just say that an in-game help with skill planning is a step towards wow in space?

Srsly?

I see this as a great chance, especially since they also introduce corp-internal badges/certificate thingies. Using the titles already ingame was a tad tedious and you wouldn't keep them with corp changes.
If they suddenly made all aggression in highsec space a bannable offense i would agree with you, but a tool to give you some help with skilling? No, sorry, i can't see how this is a step in making eve a wow-ish place in any way.

also this will bring less quality player = less quality recruits

---

That didn't make any sense. Please elaborate.

I'll give you a 2/10 for effort. Try again..

Ah I guess its too late then eh? I still might give this a shot, just incase I find some people to play with.

Just a quick note.

Don't blindly. believe anything people post here
Especially if they are obviously ranting.

You going to post this in the Tri vs. TCF thread too?  It's their ISP after all, not CCP's unstable server.

The isps do not have anything to do with nodes running out of ram. I have not seen any official statement of ccp stating otherwise.

Funny, i never had problems with disconnects. Check your isp, because it's on your end. Spindoctoring won't change that fact.
Feel free to vote with your wallet. It's your right as a customer.

(Btw., did you know that some servers ignore icmp ping packages? Some hops will always appear with 100% loss..)

The griffin was fail fit though. ;)

(Multispectral on a griffin eats away your cap and gimps both range and strength.)

can bring more subscribers but this will make live easy for not so "intelligent" players because it points what player should do and dont

But players like you, who can't even write a grammatically correct sentence, belong to the crowd of the "intelligent" people, right?
The elitism is strong with you, young padawan..

Certificates will help new players into the game, give them some sort of progress, and help corps recruit new players. I don't see any downside of this feature. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it, as all certificates can be kept private.

Trading IS PvP. You traded player created goods in competition against other players.

'08 has been good so far.
One pretty nice eve expansion with a very promising one in the works, the game is still fun and i got a lot to explore. For my casual pewpew i play Sacred2, which released buggy but playable, for my carebearing fix i can always start up wurm which finally started to see active development again.

Mainstream titles failed, though. I didn't expect otherwise.

Of course take everything with a grain of salt:

PrismX:
You don't need to worry about CCP as all our revenue is in Euros and Dollars. If you really want to sympathize think about our poor non-icelandic employers who are paid in ISK yet have financial obligations, like student loans, in another currency. That really hurts right now.

But no worries, CCP has weathered worse and has no intentions of falling short this time around.

People complain about isntances but all of EVE is instanced lol, each time you go through a gate or enter into a station it's instanced and when ambulation comes in stations will be instanced and not seemless. So adding these things that I said shouldn't be a problem and maybe they'll give me a reason to want to play.

---

People also confuse zoning with instancing a lot...

He answered you. You just failed at reading comprehension just as much as you fail at writing..
