Hey there Starcleric,
First you should know, the developers don’t read the forums at all. They come here and deposit their blogs or maybe they get some unpaid intern to do it for them. This is what I covered in the HUD blog.
I will try not to repeat myself from @FC_Swift / @CCP_Swift blog post. Notice I have linked his ID tag here yet he will never respond to anything or anyone positive or negative. This whole forum is just a dumping ground for them to pat each other on the back about making money for nothing.
Also the people who inhabit the forum are here for shits and giggles. They are always derailing anything until we have nothing but garbage to play. EVE Online was “fun” for a few years then I quit tipping the dancing bear long ago. I will continue to hangout with the alpha group I am hooked up with, but never saw EVE Online as a good investment.
Too much change without communication and they wonder why people left or why the fat cats and whales don’t spend money here. All they had to do was read and of course pick through the truth and the lies.
As for the new HUD, that is a done deal. In fact, the deal was done at Fanfest last spring. Fenris will only placed this blog here to say “Hey everybody look at what I can do!”. They will “tweak it” but they are simply going to force their crap upon us sometime next year. Next year, I will be spending my money on a Caribbean Cruise, I am currently window shopping for ex-wife number three. I know where I won’t be spending my money.
