CCP har gjort noget, som rigtig mange har advaret dem imod (CCP har nosser på størrelse med vandmeloner!). De har givet ni udvalgte EVE Online-spillere direkte medbestemmelse, når det gælder fremtidige tiltag i EVE Online (kommer meget mere om det i vores Nordic Game 2008 artikel). CCP har simpelthen afholdt demokratiske valg til “Council of Stellar Management (CSM)”, hvorefter flere af kandidaterne har gennemført valgkampagner og fremført deres meninger. Overraskende nok, har det ikke været “cooporations” eller alliancerne, som har domineret. De fleste kandidater har repræsenteret en spillespil og ikke som ventet, en politisk holdning. Du kan se hvem som er kommet med i CSM og læse om hvordan systemet fungerer på EVE Online-websitet. Vi skal også lige sige tillykke til danske Charlie Eriksen, som i det næste halve år er dansk repræsentant i CSM.

Reykjavik, Iceland – May 22, 2008 – CCP, one of the world’s leading independent game developers, has announced the results for the election of nine delegates to the Council of Stellar Management (CSM), a democratically-elected representative council of players chosen by fellow EVE Online players after an exciting two-week voting period that ended May 16.

“Since the earliest days of EVE’s development, we have relied heavily on collaboration with our playerbase regarding world issues. CCP has followed and nurtured what governing and organizational structures emerge within EVE and also brought best practices from the real world into the virtual world,” said CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson. “The formation of the Council of Stellar Management signifies to us that that EVE has extended beyond the parameters of being ‘just a game’ into something more meaningful. As this first group of Councilors works with us over the course of the next six months, we look forward to seeing how our combined efforts can further expand the potential for virtual worlds to entertain, educate and inspire.”

Election results were announced on the official EVE Online website in a blog published Wednesday by Petur Oskarsson, Project Lead for the CSM and a member of the Research and Statistics team under the guidance of Lead Economist Dr. Eyjo Gudmundsson. “CCP is dedicated to making the CSM a lasting, meaningful way to remain connected to our community,” said Oskarsson. “It is our honest belief that this is a logical step in the natural progression of CCP’s continuing efforts to not only improve EVE, but as pioneers in the rapidly-growing genus of virtual societies.” Oskarsson’s blog, which also includes demographics and statistics related to the election, may be viewed at http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=562.

  1. Stort initiativ må man sige, meget sjovt at se en dansker har sat sig på en af pladserne, og en ganske interessant retning CCP kører med det.
    Nu bliver det bare sjovt at se hvor meget de rent faktisk får at sige, men CCP plejer ikke at være helt dumme
    Stadig et af de MMO jeg stadig logger på fra tid til anden
