Whatever you say, sold is sold, its a big mistake for you Hilmar. There no any other game and community like this, eve and its players were such unique ecosystem, whery sadly, money money money… and you r still so pour. ---

We’ve both asked the same thing with no reply, so I think we can put that down to PA only making a verbal statement, and nothing being written down as a legally binding agreement. Take that as you will. With no contract stating PA won’t ■■■■ things up, I believe the “They’ll leave us be” line as much as I believe the earth is flat, or that I’m made out of potato. ---

> [@Prozn\_Zanjoahir](#): > > EVE is a persistent universe where changes are very hard or impossible to undo due to their impact on the economy among other things. CCP always puts a lot of thought into all the impacts of changes to the game with this limitation in mind. Will CCP be retaining this control, or will PA drive future feature development ideas? And will PA proceed with more caution due to the permanence of any changes? Related to this, will the CSM remain a point of player consultation and engagement? CCP will be maintaining future control. Pearl Abyss have been super direct about this. ---

Abyssal Deadspace has worked pretty well and been well received so we’ll probably develop it further and quite possibly use the tech for other features. 2. There are no plans to move from the single shard approach for EVE ---

Mate, they already skipped questions right off the bat from the start of the topic 😛 Look, this is community management. It isn’t to inform you, it is to guide your behaviour. Not you personally, but you as a customer on average. This is business. Look on the bright side. CCP makes at least that effort. PA never does. They actually decide every time to go the entirely opposite route. So if you compare the two approaches, PA’s is abusive, insulting, horrid. CCP’s is less than optimal but an effort is made. Which do you prefer? ---
