Can we have a monument or a skin for be player during the independance of CCP ?

Hmmm…how much would you pay for such a skin?

Depend of the skin quality.

[CCP_Falcon]

What does this mean for CCP Chair?

I’d imagine he’s going to be pretty happy, as there’ll be more asses to sit on him, which increases his overall productivity.

@fify

Has the closing down of serenity have to do anything with the sale?

Serenity wasn’t closed

[Aceyfacey]

will more skins for different ships be added (khanid skins pls)?

@Princess_KrabAlot

This AMA is turning into “Ask me Anything, except anything related to PA buying CCP”

Also “no tough questions” and “no questions I cannot unleash marketing on”.

That said, this is understandable. An acquisition like this is not simple, and community management is part of the calculation.

@CCP_Guard @CCP_Falcon
Should PA’s subpar representatives ever peek their head and feed lies, what makes you think they’d be welcome here?

[Alisanna]

bet they answer this one.

[Analny_Reaktor]

With more funds will you work on new Dust 514?

[Tenaya_Masai]

that did not come out right

[Defiled_By_Chickens]

Hopefully they gave you enough of a cash injection to expand your staff in regards to putting an end to market, mining, and ratting bots. You know, the cancer slowly eating away at our beloved game?

[ValentinaDLM]

With the new influx of cash supposedly will there be more iteration on FW? It is the only area I really truly enjoy in Eve and it has been stagnant and has only the most minor changes in years.

@Tenaya_Masai

that did not come out right

As long as it goes in well …

@Arehm_Bukandara

1.) If you play BDO or EVE Online, would you be able to get subscription deals if you subscribe to both?

2.) What is the thing you all most admire about PA?

1. There’s no plans at this stage for any type of deals like this. Too early to say, really.

2. Their directness, and their respect for CCP and what we’ve done over the last 20 years. We all recieved a super nice message from their CEO, Robin, during the announcement to all our staff, that laid everything out super nicely and was really well received.

Dev blog: The Handover Of Serenity – Thank You & Farewell

[image] After a six year journey with our current publishers in China, it’s time for EVE Online to enter the next stage of its journey on the Serenity cluster. This blog covers a little information on the end of our relationship with our current publisher in China. Read all about it in here.

[Travonus_Trapoll]

Does this mean you will have more staff to implement changes to servers and content? Also will this give you chance to maybe upgrade the EVE portal for mobiles as its very very basic unlike EVE Gate was.

[CCP_Falcon]

1. Do you think that this will change the development cycle for EVE?

There’s no plans to change anything in terms of how we develop EVE.

2. Will pearl abyss have any say in any new features to EVE?

They’ve been super direct about the fact that they want CCP to continue to wholly control the development and destiny of EVE.

[Nelthaerius]

@CCP_Falcon With Dust 514 being canceled and a new FPS being announced in 2017 (about the time PA took interest) is there the chances of doing a joint effort on a new Dust 514 style game that may directly or indirectly effect Eve online?

[Jian_Mira]

Will we see WIS (Walk in Stations) back?

[xTIGGERx]

Hope not

[Dennie_Fleetfoot]

They already are. It’s called Project Nova
