EVE massive protest - newsflash: new type of MMO

http://www.myth-games.com/news4927.htm

I remember some kind of protests also happened in Runescape... Just saying. Miroku32

Nice, the most players in a place since Cataclysm (over 2K players in Orgrimmar), but apparently they're not allowing more than 1600 players, some must leave for other to enter.

I already told my members if I find a single member in my corp protesting in any of the trade hubs, I'm removing them from the corp. The protest is stupid and based entirely on a slippery slope argument and the other half is stuff that will be fixed with time......since we have been receiving expansion in smaller chunks since the last one.

In that case I'd protest just to go against some power tripping boss type mentality. Not everyone shares your views nor should they have to. Why is it the people who should never obtain power are always the one's to come into it? I want to protest that.

oh, madcat.. this is our out of game protest https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AtUHbyNk0JSGdHR1TDhrRVhhQTUzLUMyVTNZdjJUaHc&output=html . More than 2500 accounts unsubbed in less than 2 dayshutrtz

Can anyone please give a brief summary of what is being protested?

- Expansion released.

- What players wanted ignored.

- Microtransactions for like $20 in-game t-shirts that no one else can even see...

- Nerd rage up and down the street.

I wish all the best to the protestors. Opening a cash shop when you have a competitive, high-stakes MMORPG like Eve shows a very poor appreciation for your die hard players. Cash shops may be ok for some theme park MMORPGs, but not ones where competition between other players and guilds is the focus, resources matter greatly, and you stand to lose or gain a lot in PvP.

Does shooting the monuments do anything? Do they get destroyed or something??

once again PC gamers are getting all uppity about nothing and overreacting.

"Greed is Good?"...two things:

1. There is a question mark there. That makes the memo's title more of a subject for discussion, not so much a statement. Lets take two breaths and realise that...

2. ...maybe it really was meant as a memo to discuss certain things, not to put them in place.

Some of the players' have valid arguments (WiS specifically), but outside of that there is nothing here that requires such an ugly and horrendous response. Make your complaints through the proper and respectable channels; write letters, makephone calls and, if necessary, unsubscribe.

But above all else, take the high road. Why on earth would you flood a system and attack monuments? That is just silly and will prove pointless.

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"] "What concerns the player base is that the memo said that CCP were considering selling in-game benefits (such as faction standings and ammunition) for AUR. The EVE Online forums are full of people asking for a promise from CCP that in-game benefits will not be sold for real life money. So far, that question is being ignored" Doesn't sound good to me. rollermint

hyperbole

has anyone actually read said-memo? "Considering" can mean a lot of things, but one thing it does not mean is "definite" or even "likely"
