So true. New World peeps lost their minds cause they gave a harvesting bonus to actively flagged PvP players. > [@makrish1](#): > > Yup, good thing I already unsubbed all my accounts.

We’ve set out on our own, with no base affiliations, to make our own way in the universe. We don’t care for history or politics between empires, we do our own thing as it pleases us. Just like some people hate the British empire, some people are indifferent, and others like it, people RP as Amarr haters, or Minmatar slavers, or whatever they like. Yes. And RP and lore are different things. You may enjoy the lore but you def don’t RP 😃 > [@makrish1](#): > > Yes, right, I meant lore, like the Trig invasion, the start of the Sansha incursions, the Battle for Caldari Prime, etc. Actual in-game events dictated by CCP that have enhanced our gameplay, have helped to build the in-universe story, and made the universe richer. Not the fact that Guristas are ex-Caldari Navy. Yes those are lore and events. But the thing you’re actually talking about is RP, which you don’t do. Ergo Who has no impact at all over your gameplay and you quit a game over a scarf. ---

> [@Ramona\_McCandless](#): > > The easy solution is for a dev who develops something not to get greedy and sell out. > > But humans are just the worst. Sadly its the players who make them sell out due to voting with their wallet. When UO shifted and I knew it was changing, there wasn’t anything anyone could do. Because the bulk of the player base was threatening the wallet of the company despite that it would change the entirety of what game was. Now, am I glad UO is still going? Yes and no. I have fond memories but also how it could have been so much greater. > [@makrish1](#): > > I said unsubbed, not biomassed. Thank god for alpha, huh? So you still support CCP. Got it 😃 > [@makrish1](#): > > No. I’m talking about _lore_. RP would be players in the forums making up these events, or CCP publishing these events via the news as they’ve done recently for things like the New Player Experience. Lore covers official CCP news articles like that, but also covers in-universe events like the Battle of Caldari Prime. In this case, it also covers Doctor Who, since it’s an in-universe event with lore explaining the connection between the two universes: No, you’re really not. Lore isn’t immersion. The immersion you’re talking about breaking only matters if you were RPing on the daily, in game, which you are not. You already admitted you don’t RP, thus no immersion. ---

I think the premise is: the time war in Who space is causing some inter-dimensional instability and flinging crap into Eve space. We find that crap, tinker around and make a filament that lets us pop across the boundary between universes and loot some space junk. ---

It looks like there willl be no real consequences in eve world. Just few items. It can only mean something for the doctor who fans in eve to have some clothes like doctor or such things. Maybe next time a rick and morty crossover?

Hmmm, the Darlek story is coming back to me now. I vaguely remember a head darlek called Stavros was it? I think he may have been half human and half robot, Maybe they will tie this in to eve where Stavros’s research was crucial in creating cloning tech. Also, the series of Dr Who episodes related to this crossover might actually be about a futuristic world set 30,000 years into the future where people can never die and can clone themselves thanks to a highly technologically advanced totalitarian society. Yes, so this is an opportunity for a good story and to hopefully get some new subs. ---

> [@makrish1](#): > > Eh, I don’t pay them anything, so it’s hardly support. And I won’t PLEX either, so what does CCP gain out of it. You still have an active account. Guess you aren’t as mad as you thought huh? > [@makrish1](#): > > RP != immersion. Immersion combines a number of factors, between the lore of the game (and by extension what makes sense in-universe), consistency of gameplay, aesthetics, and mood. Imagine if Arthur Dent suddenly appeared in WH40k Space Marine, whipping a towel at Orks. RP is strictly acting as a fictional character that makes sense within the universe (hence ROLE PLAY, you’re _playing_ a _role_). It’s the difference between going to a reenactment like a renaissance fair or a civil war re-enactment for your own entertainment, versus dressing up and being involved. So you agree that lore isn’t immersion, excellent. And you realize if an Ork believed it strongly enough, it’d happen right? Sorry bruv. You know you don’t got a leg to stand on and are simply dancing 😃 > [@makrish1](#): > > It’s the difference between going to a reenactment like a renaissance fair or a civil war re-enactment for your own entertainment, versus dressing up and being involved. Exactly. Immersion is the second thing. You are doing the first thing while claiming to do the second thing 😃 You don’t give a fig about immersion son. You literally just quit a game over a scarf. Now if you say you RP as a blood pirate in game and that the event would break your RP immersion, that I’d buy. It doesn’t even impact the lore in any meaningful way. Its alright bruv. Just admit CCP ganked your soul and HTFU. > [@Aaron](#): > > Hmmm, the Darlek story is coming back to me now. I vaguely remember a head darlek called Stavros was it?

Just a minute. In this crossover we are supposed to _help_ Dr. Who against the daleks who are evil cyborgs. Now all capsuleers are cyborgs to connect to our pods, and most stuff ourselves full of implants in addition. Capsuleers blow up ships of enemies or just those we can get a bounty on with not the slightest thought for the crewmembers will kill. We set up factories on planets without the slightest input from any inhabitants and shut them down at whim regardless of what it does to the economy. By most yardsticks we’re pretty evil. So, we’re supposed to fight _against_ the daleks? Hell no, capsuleers do what they damn well please. I want to fight **for** the daleks. ---

Good looking out CCP, the bottom line is that BBC do have a huge following worldwide for more programs than just Dr Who and they are a good partner to have in the Digital Entertainment industry. BBC still do lots of magazines including sci-fi, CCP might get the opportunity to advertise there. Hopefully this is part of CCP making a film or series based on eve, as the bbc are well connected within entertainment. ---
