After several months of galaxy-class drama, CCP is finally making amends with its users.
Last week CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson issued a 1500-word ‘oops-my-bad’ open letter.
In the letter, Pétursson admitted that development of the game had moved away from player interests, and promised to set this right.
“We’ve been trying to expand the EVE universe in several directions at once, and I need to do a better job of pursuing that vision without diluting or marginalizing the things that are great—or could be great—about the game right now,” he wrote.
“Nullsec space needs to be fixed. Factional warfare needs to be fixed. The game needs new ships. We need to do a better job of nurturing our new players and making EVE the intriguing, boundless universe it has the potential to be.”
Now the company is also offering lapsed players ALL OF THIS at the SPECIAL, ONE-TIME subscription rate of JUST $4.95 FOR 30 DAYS (which we have word is “actually one third of the normal rate [for exisiting members]. Monthly costs are $15, and it decreases if you buy more at once.”).
But wait – THERE’S MORE!
Actually, there isn’t – but the format doesn’t really work without that bit…
For the uninitiated, here’s a *NSFW* video to explain the EVE Online culture. Children look away.
