i only know they have a lot of active people who are better at the game than your average goon, and they are pretty chill

not like it matters anyway, the lifeblood of gsf is in the squads and sigs. im still in dead rear end goonwaffe because it does not matter which corp you are in really, i guess you might miss out on some corp super/titan sponsorship which kinda suck but whatever

The bigger question is what is this doing to rest_of_eve.jpg? It really doesn't gently caress with goons because they've got a massive pile of lifeless spergs who are horribly invested into this game, but everyone else has got to be getting hosed over royally, right?

It feels a bit ccp dosen't need the cash from EVE anymore.

Oh man do they ever need it, none of their VR poo poo has panned out into something that produces money on a regular, steady basis, so EVE is basically all that is keeping the lights on at CCP(business as usual, no revelations here), as well as being a pretty big source of tourism for fart-water island w/fanfest. If EVE goes under CCP is hosed, I wonder what would come after if CCP went under and the EVE IP got bought by another company?

I apologise everyone. I have not posted in here in a while and although I do read it, I sometimes let the unread posts get built up.

The last few pages are majorly wild in the wrong way. Let us all take steps back and breathe and then resume posting better. :D

I could see somebody out there acquiring the infrastructure and IP and trying to make Eve 2 but I would expect them to make a horrible mess of it

Would be good for :munch: if not for creating an actual fun game.

Carth Dookie
Jan 28, 2013

The only way EVE 2 would not be poo poo is if whoever took it over realized that it should be a monster's ball that facilitates the consequences, rivalries and skullduggery that is EVE's USP, without the insanely bad interface/unconsionably bad grind.


I'm not actually sure that it could be done even if the hypothetical purchasers had the right mentality.

Iceland is setting itself up as the server farm capital of the world because cheap geothermal power and cold climate makes it perfect for building them. I would imagine someone would be up for buying CCPs physical stuff if they went belly up.

assuming this map is semi-accurate, "nearby" might be a bit of a stretch:
http://www.cablemap.info/



hosting your servers in iceland would give you poor latency to both EU and the US, so i dont see why anyone would do that tbh.
in europe you have other countries with cheap green power and a cold climate like norway, sweden and finland, again i dont see why you would choose iceland. then add the logistical nightmare of being located on a volcanic fart rock in the middle of the atlantic....

Protip, if you're going to start pushing the rules, openly announcing you're going to is probably one of the last things you want to do.

Though that would require CCP reading this so I don't know.
