Online like this
one and this one
popping up at numerous gaming sites. As a player, the one thing I can say is
that the majority of the news reports are getting the story wrong. Players
could care less that someone wants to spend $80 on a vanity item for their
avatar. Players are pissed that CCP has blatantly lied about their intentions
and have responded to these customers concerns by basically telling us they
know what we want better than we do. If you consider that a recently
leaked internal CCP newsletter added a significant amount of fuel to the
fire, then a purported
e-mail from CCP CEO HilmarPétursson was like throwing on a keg of gunpowder, and a response to some of
these items in the form of a dev
blog was not well received at all. People are claiming they
are canceling their accounts left and right. Personally, I canceled both of my
accounts last night and know of at least 3 friends in game who have canceled a
total of 7 additional accounts. This may very well be the end of EVE Online as
it was originally conceived."
