After several months of galaxy-class drama, CCP is finally making amends with its users.<\/p>\n

Last week CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson issued a 1500-word ‘oops-my-bad’ open letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the letter, Pétursson admitted that development of the game had moved away from player interests, and promised to set this right.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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.”).<\/p>\n

But wait – THERE’S MORE!<\/p>\n

Actually, there isn’t – but the format doesn’t really work without that bit…<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, here’s a *NSFW*<\/strong> video to explain the EVE Online culture. Children look away.<\/p>\n
