I hate those "First!", "Second!" messages Nothing much news for EvE player who is following boards and devblogs. It is intresting to see how much voice chat is going to cost and can you for example chat with random personalities in the local channel. |

Charging for the voice com absolutly sucks. If CCP cant provide it to the players without charging for it then they should not provide it at all. Players of eve pay a good amount of subscription fees as it is. Many have 2 or more accounts. Everytime I hear of the plan to charge for the voice com it makes me want to puke.

Retired at 45, are you? |
Good interview. i have a question though, hopefully a ccp rep or magnus can answer at some point. i have included all of the paragraph in question so it would not be taken out of context. there is one small portion that disturbs me.
this quote in regards to any future expansions or "that" (which is a kinda confusing initself, being the question was on expansions) aspect of eve made me question why he would state this. to me its not something you say in a public forum. its like saying during a stockholders meeting you state to your stockholders your not interested in making money, the stockholders will begin to look at you kinda funny arent the devs supposed to be trying to get a larger subscription base and address the entire eve community and all concerns for the whole? making the game fun for all, not just the few that pvp full time? i understand playstyle is a personal thing, thats all well and good, but having a top dev say he is "tainted", which i take for meaning he is not that interested in the "common hi sec folk" before the the pvpr's go up in arms, i know what eve is and what oveur has said the game is supposed to be, i also have read the blogs and the unevitable changes they have had to make, or try to make to gain subs, and its working to some extent, the portion of the community that pvp's is in simple reality smaller than the community in hi sec space, alts aside. the goal is to get these folks to migrate to fulltime pvp, which in my views would be pretty good as a majority pvp community that visits the hi sec shopping mall would actually be able to police itself and form a better political base, resulting in, my view, a quite different pvp community and some interesting fun. in order to achieve these goals, and i have nothing but respect for the devs trying to satisfy everyone AND support their own visions and future of eve, i feel the devs shouldnt be saying they are tainted, be it pvp or non pvp. i look for business leaders interested in making the future as a whole better for all................what the devs do behind the scenes to tweak their playstyle is their business magnus...no love for us carebears? |

I agree that there isn't much new stuff in the article but it's nice to get an update on this game. To bad they are charging for voice chat when a few other games have it at launch and costs nothing. I am always impressed with EVE developers though. They seem to be keeping this game up to date and playable. If there is an MMO out there that will weather the test of time I think this will be it. They aren't scared to change the fundamentals and roll with the community. |

"From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put." |
Considering that you can pay for your game subscription with in-game money I don't see why a few bucks a month for fully integrated voice chat should bother many people.
You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to and Teamspeak and Ventrilo will still be there. |

Its only a game until you lose ! |
I Wish they had a system where you could change your attributes to a certain point like take away from Charisma
and add it to perception. Most new players dont know much about the game yet and they are fooled in a way at the start thinking that the mercenary build for Caldari race is all out combat when u start put with 10 charisma like I did. I hope CCP realy considers making this a new feature in Kali because i feel that they realy owe us Loyal Veterans. |

(like me) and his huge decisions (game changing ones will be geared to pvp and not the community as a whole.
