Everyone knows emojis are a core feature of any chat apps like whataspp or discord so why dont we get them ingame? probqbly because eve is a 20 year old game. they are crucial for conveying emotion in tense and happy moments.
even the forum itself which should be way more primitive than the game has them. shouldnt be a big deal to code them in either bc its all on a differenr server soooo
soooo you can just use the old-style letter smileys that we used in the past to great effect without spamming pictograms in every chat.
Tbh I am glad EVE is space where I have peace from emoji spam everywhere.
The EVE forum is a https://www.discourse.org/ forum and in no way ‘more primitive than the game’, it’s just an entirely different thing. It’s not a game, it’s a forum. And people in other fora generally use emojis so it just happens to be available here too.
Personally I’m glad we don’t have emojis in EVE chat, it’s looks pretty bad and incoherent.
But if you wish to convey emotion, you could always use emoticons instead of emojis. One is pretty popular within EVE:

Back in my day we had \o/ and we LIKED IT. UPHILL BOTH WAYS.
The forum was written long after eve came out. Sure there’s an old version of the eve forum that you still find in google results sometimes.
I don’t want emojis in the game.
You can use a variety of ASCII characters. There’s a large number supported and you can make a lot of things if you’re creative.
