I would love to do this, but I have no clue what my character's name was. Oh well, kudos to CCP and good luck to anyone that gets the deal.

 Do you still have the email address which you used to register? Generally the GMs are pretty helpful when it comes to reactivating accounts, and if you can find the activation email, you'll know your account name (not the same as your character name) - and that's enough.

To those complaining about ship control. This isn't a fighter-jet simulation...the ships respond as they should. Not really sure why everyone's gotta have WoW-controls to play a game.

Also for those not "in the know" EVE is player-driven, don't expect NPCs to make the world for you....the players do. Welcome to a REAL MMO; different isn't it?

 

PS: Those complaining about the game being broken.. only thing I can think of that's broken is the damn Bounty System...hide in 0.5 or higher and I can't touch you because CONCORD will kill me. So....what exactly is it that's broken?

 The server - Any fight with more than 20 people in it is a lottery. Got close to 100 and you start seeing some very weird stuff indeed. This is the biggest cause of discontent, and they've achieved exactly zero progress in over 8 months since it became a problem. In fact it seems to be getting worse.

The 0.0 sov system. It can't have been easy to make something worse than POS warfare, but CCP have managed it.

The other thing that's broken is a large number of CCP's promises

Planetary Interaction is a clickfest

The corp management interface is like something Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss would work up.

Rockets

Assault Frigates

COSMOS

The fifth T3 subsystems

Treaties

And many, many, many more.

If you do nothing but run missions in hi-sec then EVE runs pretty well. If you try and play it as an MMO, then you start running in to problems. Of course, all MMOs have problems, but right now, CCP have their priorities totally bass-ackwards. They've lost touch with what their customers want, and they're trying to impose FoTM Sims/Farmville gameplay onto a customer base which is totally unreceptive to it. Meanwhile they've been neglecting long running issues, and they've now told the players that they wont even start looking at those issues for another 18 months. Patience was already wearing thin when they said this to the CSM, and when their Dev confirmed it in his devblog, things came to a head.

I have cancelled my subscriptions. I may come back if and when CCP start producing fixes and features their customers actually want, rather than what "the metrics" show we should want.

Could you give more info on the broken "The fifth T3 subsystems" please.

As i have just started flying T3 ships and plan to explore with them in 0.0 so if there is a glaring problem with them then it would help to know what it is . Thanks :)

 The glaring problem is that they dont exist, despite repeated promises that they would be introduced.

Did they fix lag in fleet battles? Um haven't seem that post yet- Fleet Battles are fun again. So i'll stay unsubscribed again till then. Save my 5 days for my 3 accounts CCP. When you fix fleet lag ill take em, but not till then.

I have a lot of respect for the game , but I also trust some of these comments here. Indeed the problems that were there when I played are still problems now. For example, lag, lag, lag in large gang vs. gang. I never participated in fleet warfare but I assume its there too. Thats not acceptable.

Broken since December, if anything worse now than then.

The really cruel thing is that they worked fine last year.

Well sorry to hear you feel that way, but there is nothing wrong with Eve.  Sure, like any MMO it has some issues, but you play around them, not one of your points above is a problem you can't play around and some I don't consider problems at all.  Take POS warfare, sovereignty is superior imo.  Sure it could do with some improvements, but it is still much better than what we had before. 

I was in a 200+ encounter the other day and had no lag.  Maybe your computer needs some upgrades.  The only problem with T3 is the expense, few can really fly the ships that can afford to replace them.

You are just bored with the game and expressing sour grapes.  Some time off is a good idea for you.

Dude, you're delusional. This game is not "broken," but it is not functioning well either. There's a lot more people than just Malcanis here that are displeased. Check the Eve forums. And CCP's vocal direction is 180degrees from the expressed wishes of the players. The game is in scary shape at the minute, and that is undeniable.
