The first question I am going to ask in the AMA is, “Will this game still have an Alpha like it is right now?”
Second question ,“Why Pearl Abyys? Why not better companies like Jagex?”
Third question, “Do you care about the community CCP? If the community does not like this, will you guys cancel the accusition?”
BRING OUT YOUR BIOMASSED!
CONTRACT ALL BITTER VET ASSETS TO PETA CHIEVE
MUCH LOVE, GO BACK TO WOW
Get a move on while prices are still good
He’s not stuffing around!
We can keep tracking it tho mate, it doesn’t make sense such self motivated company go completely brave to sell their creations out it has to be somehow explained tho
I guess the question now is, what is future plans?

Not big surprise, EVE is, or was in this case, regarded as the last bastion of “pure” , real sandox MMOs.
Long term BDO players if anyone know how much PA ■■■■■■ up.
That I bet is understandable for panicking tho, but could hold their assets back to observe
A good video.
@1:25 …“That’s going to be air ships in Black Desert! What’s? What’s?”… ROFL
Congrats CCP, you sold your souls to the devil. Theyre gonna warp Eve so badly, into a “swipe your credit card to win the game”, mechanism. You think you can stop that? They literally own you. Let Pearl Abyss decide whether or not this game is profitable. If it’s not? Eve online dies. instantly. utterly. Without so much as a whimper.
Shared DNA and culture is one thing. The reason I come back to play eve compared to other MMOs is because you’re different. Now, i can’t make that claim. With you no longer in charge of your own destiny, who is to say that greed won’t corrupt the game we’ve all come to know and love?
If Pearl Abyss attempts to change the fundamentals of the game so much in a short time, that it alienates the player base and we leave en mass, the only way Pearl Abyss comes out on top, is to:
- Shut the servers down
- liquidate all assets
- Purge the employee pool
They are going to kill your game and many jobs of many CCP employees. All because you decided to become a subsidiary. To make some money. If you truly believed in the dream, owning your own game and having a loyal player base, you essentially just put yourself, all your employees and your players, in jeopardy.
Enjoy your small and fleeting influx of cash. It isn’t going to last.

PA is “fair” probably you will get some amount of ISKs for PLEX which will be automaticly destroyed ingame, like other BDO items removed from game.
But that is how it will be, you do not have chance to choose …

Perhaps CCP did not learn from Paragon’s experience with NC Soft. While I understand the desire to stay in the black, sometimes you consign your creations to death when you sell them to others.
For those who do not know: Paragon Studios (previously Cryptic) created City of Heroes which NC Soft pulled the plug on after it garnered less revenue in the Korean/Asian markets then in the Western markets. It was in the black, but not in the black enough. So City of Heroes is in a locked vault despite some people having approached NC Soft to buy it.
EVE online, if it does not show enough interest/profit in Pearl’s main market area, will see a similar fate if Pearl’s business sense is similar to NC Soft’s.

I meant mate eve got reputation on building environment and understanding how it works by its mechanics, I mean we should refer it to general gaming community as to grow up, and meet the real world and start with eve, the nest of idea safety doesn’t exist you make a decision and you pay for it,
Those sounds matching how real world working and eve was slightly lower than our reality, if they lifted the limit of gaming aspect , that eve would go live.
How the traditional grinding style in games becomes topic of maturity tho, I meant if 5.1mils of Black desert are localised in korea, total gross over last year from it is 450 mil, it’s just 45dollars per person tho, less than each transaction eve received monthly
I mean they did gross well but it’s settled by number and their localisation of community, doesn’t mean internationally popularity or example of seccessful gaming tactics on marketing
So no alpha, I sense a lot of alphaplayers are going to start a forum riot. Alpha is the culture of EVE, without alpha this game sucks for the first 3 years. REALY. It would not be worth paying for something which alphas can do. It takes time to get the skill levels to start doing the Omega skills. Getting use to the Omega things. Litterally a waste of money. The only people that will be remaining to play the game, are those who are Omegas right now, via paying out of pocket money to CCP.
CCP believe me, stop this acquisition. I am not trying to be mean but are you sure you guys were not high on something when this business plan of accusation came to mind?
CCP you are the pride of Iceland’s gaming industry of Iceland. Think about your country. Think about the students in colleges in Iceland studying game design and are thinking of making the next big EVE! Don’t shatter their dreams by doing this acquisition. Even though I am not Icelandic in any way, was born in the US, raised in the US, no one from my family is from Iceland, but still I am speaking about the hearts of Icelanders. Do not shatter their hearts! CCP is Iceland’s pride of the gamming industry, and you are giving that pride away to some place half way around the Globe!.
It is not too late CCP, stop this acquisition!
