Text gives both the questioner and the answerer more flexibility and time to compose complete thoughts, without having the questions scroll by in 50,000 lines of ‘lol’ and other typical chat BS.

Ok so after reading everything this far Iam slightly less worried (But damn thers a lot of bad shit about BDO out there) :thinking:

So we are not getting any of the pay to win crap :grinning:

i assume eve will not get any snooping rootkit either :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

will CCP get more resources ($$$) from this ? (to fork. add more stuff to the store, marketing, development, walking in stations v2 ) ?

Which is why you do it on reddit where you sort the questions by quality of posts… instead of here where you can barely scroll properly

You keep saying CCP retains complete creative freedom and PA will not interfere in any way with how EVE is ran.

Is there any actual assurance of that, other than “PA guys said so.”

I want them to add Minmatar children that I can set on fire and kick out of the airlock for use as a flare decoy for incoming missiles…

Make sure to bug them. They are what they are. Do not trust, and constantly verify.

  • What benefits do Pearl Abyss bring to the table for CCP and for the future of EVE Online?

There’s a long list, that’s for sure. Knowledge of building virtual worlds, technical knowledge, scalability knowledge… all kinds of things.

There’s a lot of super smart people there, and I’m sure more benefits will come to light in future.

  • What do you think Pearl Abyss can gain by working with CCP?

We’ve got a 20 year history of building virtual words. We’re also a bit crazy, and I’m kinda hoping that rubs off on them :stuck_out_tongue:

I also think we can learn from eachother in a lot of different areas, and I’ve heard that Pearl Abyss are super interested in how we engage with our players and what we do to retain people and disseminate information.

Hopefully we can help eachother in all kinds of areas.

  • EVE Online has long maintained an unwritten(?) policy of cash shop not inflating the ISK & SP supply in the market, and all cash shop items being tradeable on the market for prices decided by players. Is there any intention to move away from this policy?

The “OMG PAY TO WIN” thing got old after about three posts :stuck_out_tongue:

CCP maintains control of how we develop EVE - we’re not going to start ruining the economy we’ve spent 15 years watching you guys build.

  • What guarantee do we have, given Pearl Abyss’ history of failing to uphold their promises (for example cron stones on EU/NA servers), that the same won’t happen with EVE?

I mean, to be fair there’s a few things that CCP have missed the mark with over the years. There’s no guarantees on anything in life, but we’re in a position where we still maintain control over EVE, so we’ll continue to do what we do best.
