So here's some news: Pearl Abyss, the developer of Black Desert Online (the game with the insanely pretty character appearance creator), has announced it's buying EVE Online developer CCP Games for $425M.
In theory CCP's development of EVE will remain under their control. We'll see.
I personally can't help but suspect that CCP's purchase of the White Wolf RPG developer and the millions they spent throwing money down the rathole of trying to make an MMORPG out of it -- before finally selling it all off not too long ago -- might have contributed to this decision.

Can't wait till we can make proper goblins in the Eve character creator.

Re: EVE Online
I know Baile at least is a big fan of Black Desert Online. I've considered looking into it.
I'm kind of surprised this happened, though, honestly. CCP was doing quite well, or so I thought. I missed all the White Wolf RPG stuff.

Re: EVE Online
I think I heard some murmurings about this a couple months ago. I'm not invested in EVE (I think I have two accounts that never even flown destroyers), but I hope the new management doesn't drive the game into the ground like so many other acquisitions have. EVE's done really well, struck a formula that works, and it'd be a shame to throw that away.

However, I would be wary of applauding this acquisition since Pearl Abyss has a well-deserved reputation for shoveling greedy business move upon greedy business move.
Re: EVE Online
Guilty as charged, if by 'big fan' you mean 'plays obsessively'. I'm heavily addicted to sneering at and deftly dodging all of the game's grasping attempts at my wallet.

Well, if "EvE is dying!!!!" for real this time it would be interesting to see if anything rises to fill the vacuumBaile nam Fonn wrote: ↑Fri Sep 07, 2018 5:32 amGuilty as charged, if by 'big fan' you mean 'plays obsessively'.

Re: EVE Online
I have been actively playing Eve for the last half a year, running a WH corp of a few dozen people. My credentials: https://zkillboard.com/corporation/98562012/ (CEO: Highscore Triggerhappy )
Since the purchase, nothing major has changed. CCP went through on their plans to add Abyssal Space and Triglavian ships ( both new and original additions with very interesting mechanics ) and, after the smashing success of the new ships, recently added a few more.
For those interested:
CCP also added new sov space navigation structures, the Uwpell cyno beacon, cyno jammer, and jump gate.
No new additional payed features were added. Structure skins are coming later this winter, but everyone seems to be happy about that ( cause everyone wants their keepstar to be pink ).
In other eve news, Goons invaded WH space and took down Hard Knock's keepstar ( named Fort Fnocks ). It was not a good fight, the goons brought 100x more people than a WH corp could ever field. However, the defenders self-destructed all assets so the invaders would not get anything, and filled all the loot hangars with 1 capacitor booster. I would say they got the last word in.

Re: EVE Online
Woah bumping this dead thread up somethin fierce.
I recently made a Corp in EVE with cuisinart8 as EVE seems to be a decent thing to sink time into atm even for a free player.
So if anybody would like to join it it's pretty much an LT Corporation and everybody from here is welcome, just message me or cui on Discord/IRC and we'll inv you.

Re: EVE Online
Since we're sharing....
https://zkillboard.com/character/96912789/
Might start a wormhole corp with a few friends later. Sep up a few stations, get a bit of everything going, dig in a bit. Luckily the funds needed for the initial stage are only a few billion.

Re: EVE Online
This game should be more advertised. I didn't know what is this, some weird looking game. But when I created my 1st account and tried it out. I soaked onto this game for many many hours
