Islandske CCP har altid sat spiller-feedback højt på dagsordenen i forbindelse med deres EVE Online. De har sågar skabt et råd af spillere (Council of Stellar Management – CSM), som er med, når CCP skal tage beslutninger om fremtiden for EVE Online. Det har fungeret ganske godt og CCP har fået stor kudos for at lade spillerne påvirke udviklingen, men efter seneste Incarta-patch, er forholdet og samarbejdet ikke helt så rosenrødt længere. CSM’s formand, Alexander “The Mittani” Gianturco, er gået til yderligheder i adskillige blogposts og kalder CCP-ledelsen for skizofrene og anklager dem for bevidst at ville ødelægge EVE Online. Gianturco mener, at CCP’s fokus på World of Darkness og det stadig lidt tågede Dust 514. Vil du læse mere, kan du tage forbi EDGE, som har en længere gengivelse af især Gianturcos indsigelser. Mon CCP nu fortryder at de lod spillere komme til orde.
“CCP is a schizophrenic organisation,” he writes, praising the work done on Eve Online – known internally at CCP as Flying In Space (FIS) – by current developers CCP Soundwave. “In other areas, particularly upper management, the company seems hell-bent on running Eve Online into the ground to try to make a reality out of the foolish business decisions they made,” a reference to its taking on of World Of Darkness and Dust 514 when it already had its hands full with Eve Online.
“In the past, Eve expansions were based [on] the desires of the players, to augment their behaviour,” he continues. “Player-owned stations exist because CCP noticed players stockpiling goods in safespots in GSCs. Outposts were added based on the obvious attempts to build more infrastructure in 0.0. Wormholes provided a place for players to indulge in a no-local environment and explore the unknown.” Incarna, he claims, was not only the expansion that broke this trend by being designed to benefit the developer rather than its community: it didn’t even work.
“Usually after an expansion there is a surge in players who join the game,” he explains. “These create peaks and valleys in user numbers as people kick the tyres on the new content and either stick around or leave. Incarna, which has taken a tremendous amount of development and marketing resources, essentially had no impact.”


























Er den seneste patch ikke incarna ?
Synes nu jeg ser de post’s på alle forums vedr. mmo spil.
Når en højtstående spiller taber deres glitch eller hva de nu brugte tuder de indtil de får deres vilje eller forsvinder.
