Ully Loom does not moan my dear @Shipwreck_Jones , she alerts!
Ully Loom has already donated enough money to CCP for an online game that hasn’t really evolved in 19 years.
and his son and his friends too…
Among all these people, one of them fell, despite all our warnings, into the spiral of addiction and compulsive buying behavior as soon as the PLEXs arrived.
How many others have fallen into this trap in 19 years, because of CCP’s irresponsible commercial policy, which year after year has become more aggressive than ever out of greed?
17 million characters have been created in 19 years on EvE Online. But only 24,000 of them maximum, evolve simultaneously in New Eden today, some players claiming, here on this forum, to hold nearly 10 accounts, where in 2003-2007 we had only two, great maximum ; Ully Loom had her alt too, fully funded by CCP for almost two years; that’s a lot of money paid in confidence.
The CCP loss rate is therefore even worse than that of Blizzard, which at least had the merit of listening to its base of former players, having relaunched World of Warcraft Classic in 2019 on the foundations and rules of the game of the version of 2004, and this in order to try to limit the breakage of its last years; this operation turns out to be a great success today for Blizzard which is in fact very logical for all fans of the original game. It could be summed up like this:
AS A GAME EDITOR, TOUCH ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT DON’T TOUCH THE ORIGINAL GAME RULES!
Q. Last night, our superb game of EvE CONQUESTS with friends lasted more than 4 hours on the basis of rules of the game which are certainly complex, but which remain unchanged since its official release…
Ully Loom is 19 years old. In 19 years, she has always refused to take part in the big corporations and the big alliances which are all built on the good old Ponzi system, as if 5,700 years of additional history had not been able to overcome our errors of the past in as self-destructive and voracious Humanity.
Ully Loom was a lone thief, or almost. It interfered in the corporations in order to rob them. His reputation is second to none, at least among former players; former Pandemic Legion players inevitably remember having killed Ully Loom in a memorable battle on Venal (from memory, a video of this battle exists), besides looting has always been part of the original gameplay of EvE Online , just like mining, industry, science, trade, or PvE or PvP combat.
Our own French-speaking community of EvE Online fans therefore has very good reasons to resent CCP (and we are not the only ones a priori), without ever blowing hot or cold, or even without ever pouring into the language of wood as most people here do.
Q. You are doing the community of EvE Online players no favors by doing so, and you may be wondering why the defections continue despite all your propaganda efforts; I’ll tell you: the damage has been done for a long time, so don’t oppose us, look instead at CCP…
All of us together could be one of the last bastions of truth in New Eden, and it is not the congromerates under the orders of CCP, this perpetual breeding ground of the complacent CSM for more than 16 years, who will change that whatever it is now.
CCP would therefore be very wrong to ignore the IRL action capabilities of all its former players who have mostly become the parents of some current players, which should weigh heavily on the balance of CCP’s future decisions.
Q. EvE Online has well and truly become the game of two generations, maybe even three, but that’s much less certain, because it’s entirely up to all of you here, and in no way us, the oldest. .
So this is it.
So meditate a bit on all this instead of constantly pouring into denigration and contempt.
CCP wants to get out of the rut it got into of its own free will? OK !
In this case, while keeping the existing one if she wants to, she should organize the big RESET of New Eden on a new dedicated server, based on the original rules of EvE Online, i.e. without PLEXs, without ALPHA nor OMEGA, without extractors or injectors, etc., because in 2003-2009 players did not have access to all of this. All players, without exception, were the pioneers of a persistent universe well and truly a thousand times more attractive than today. At that time, CCP had been able to innovate and deploy the greatest MMO-RPG-RTS of all time!
This is our ultimate advice to CCP…
For memory :
Happy rereading! For once, that’s free, and therefore in no way overpriced…
