Just what is happening to my Eve. It has gone from having its own lore; its own storyline; being one instance, pvp oriented, dark and scary, brutal and treacherous space sandbox to this. It is no longer a sanbdbox. Scarcity destroyed any notion of its being a player driven economy. You have destroyed any notion of players controlling what happens in the game wuth your stupid, pointless changes. The nerfs to Rorquals and industry were handled so poorly; you now have no credibity when its comes to game design. You have been forced by a plater uproar to reverse changes to ships that were proven to be game breakingly stupid. “Dungeons” for ships means the game has lost its unique one-instanced identity. And now Doctor Who? What utter moron even allowed this to get to an idea stage? You have just destroyed your entire 15 years of lore and history. Gone. And you have linked it with a franchise that is fifty years old and rated PG. Tell me, how does the concept of Amarr slaveholdings relate to a Timre Lord? Does he/she have implants? Or is he/she a clone? and Daleks FFS? Are the Sontarans coming to kill us all? But I guess it means I can create a new meme “Exterminate all CCP marketers. Exterminate. Exterminate.” The game is now little more than “space-wow” for pubescent children. Vale Eve-online. 2022 is your death. ---

There is one question I don’t think anyone has asked yet. How much is CCP **paying** the BBC for this crossover? With amount of licence payers the BBC is haemorrhaging at the moment they need all the money they can get so the cost to CCP will be substantial. The follow-on question is how much developer time would this have paid for? There are so many areas in the game that need attention. Instead we get this. ---

Only way to get into there heads is to unsub. 5 paid accounts unsubbed. Last one expires tomorrow. That’s a substantial amount of money which i could save to go on holiday with. Enjoy your mess CCP, Dev team I hope you will put on your résumé that you drove the largest space MMO into the ground. Well-done ---

in germany 99/100 ppl you ask will not know what doctor who is and will not give a ■■■■ about it anyways. all this crossover stuff is ruining games. check out “magic the gathering”. they are doing fortnite and streetfighter crossovers now and the community hates it. still they are in a better position than CCP is, because they have tenths of million of players (still growing), while EVE is on a declining position since a decade. hey CCP: give us EVE lore, there is no need for crossovers. ---

Everything assumes that the flailing game company reached out to the flailing TV series to initiate this crossover; but I am about 75% sure that it was the other way around. Unless they developed this on a shoestring budget (which is admittedly possible,) CCP’s not going to make up their development costs for the event by selling SKINs and clothes. However, even a flailing TV show has a pretty sizeable ad budget. So yeah, I think someone at the BBC knows someone at CCP and they pitched the idea; and Hilmar, short-term thinker that it is, greenlit it. ---

First of all I hate this crossover idea. May the person or persons who thought this up suffer incurable genital itching until April Fools Day when this should have been implemented. However, as they say when life hands you lemons BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! … uh, sorry wrong universe. Anyway the lemonade we should IMO make is to welcome any Dr. Who fans who try EvE, help them and see if we can get any to stay and enjoy the game we all love whatever our opinion of the crossover event. Which is coming whatever we think of it. P.S. I do wish Hilmar would stop smoking the pickled herrings. ---

> [@Devilish\_Ledoux](#): > > Introducing aliens in Eve in a game where the only alien invaders have typically been other (trans)humans.

They can easily do both, its not like its 1 guy creating everything, and given that the majority of the work will have been done by VFX people that you do NOT want touching anything code related, not really seeing how its diverted any meaningful manpower > [@Devilish\_Ledoux](#): > > This is the sort of crap you get from a game like Fortnite.
