Good to hear from you. How is Griffin doing?
EVE is good these days, some recent buffs to graphics and all ships French have led to a few GF's in and around Syndicate - with FRAPS in a couple of cases
Anyways - hope you pop in sometime, otherwise - take it easy mate

The perfect fight is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life

Hope all is well with you all.
Just as Spin, I'm doing a check. So, the game has picked up after the CCP debacle? Maybe time for a new test period of the game... :-)
Even if there is benefits with not having the game dragging you in every night there is a part of me that misses the spacedrama.
Fly [insert word of choise] guys!

Hey Spin, it's always good to hear from you, glad things are going well.
We're still enjoying our internet spaceships, everything's much more positive since CCP's wakeup call last year so things are lookup up.
Not tempted to revisit Eve at all?
Interesting. What wake-up call? Just passing by and was curious.

They finally came out with barbie-dolls in space and it was broken!
Finally enough people actually did cancel all 4 of their accounts and CCP did a 100% turn around and is actually fixing ships and lag.
So far quite a few improvements.

You've missed a lot of Internet Spaceship Drama, Rells.
Basically, the summer expansion (Incarna) was all about Space Barbies and Microtransactions, and concurrent leakage of CCP internal memos about how 'Fearless' and 'Awesome' they are that were also derisive of players. But when you docked and actually tried using your avatar, the only place available was your rusty Minmatar Captain's Quarters which still managed to meltdown many people's graphic cards - which was forced on you by the surprise removal of ship spinning. CCP also apparently believed people were willing to pay $50 for 'designer' shirts (that only you could see, remember) - also, $80 Space Monocles. [Hence 'Monoclegate' being one of the overall names for the whole situation.] Meanwhile, not much of anything related to Spaceships was done. Inside information from (apparent) CCP dissenters indicated that future plans were heading further in the same direction. Many people saw this as the final straw of CCP abandoning EVE and only developing things that could be ported to World Of Darkness and/or heading down the slippery slope of money for in-game influencing items (a.k.a. Gold Ammo). Cue mass rioting in Jita, widespread unsubscribing, horribad PR in the gaming media, and complete silence from CCP about everything = numbers of users in game dropping precipitously, and CCP heading toward losing a lot of income at the exact time millions of dollars in loans were coming due...
The wake-up call probably came when CCP executives saw the trendlines and determined that ignoring the future of EVE was going to bankrupt their corporation. There was an emergency CSM summit, multiple developers and the CEO apologizing for making mistakes and being wrong and walking back the excesses, CCP practically abandoning work on World of Darkness (and EVE avatar stuff only including the other three Captains Quarters), a halt for the forseeable future of any more microtransactioning until it can be done right, pretty much 20% of CCP employees being let go (downsizing the company), and the CEO finally proclaiming that CCP was back in the spaceship business (as opposed to the sparkly vampire business) and future focus would be on Flying In Space and fixing broken stuff and iterating on abandoned features (*cough* factional warfare).
The recent expansion (Crucible) delivered on just that, with the CCP crew fixing a lot of the little things that had remained broken for years and making small improvements that could be done in the 2-3 months they had available, ship rebalancing (hybrids and AFs), adding tier 3 BCs, graphic upgrade (new ship skins and return of engine trails), and other stuff (including ship spinning). Ah, and the new head developer is apparently an actual competent and experienced manager in computer stuff and not one of the Fearless Awesome Icelandic insiders.

Did you just compare WoD to Twilight? If you did you need to go spank yourself...and the CEO finally proclaiming that CCP was back in the spaceship business (as opposed to the sparkly vampire business)

Long time no see. Still use Skype? Let's catch up.
Indeed I do. My name on Skype or AOL is "kraythe"

Well that is interesting. It appears those of us talking about impending doom weren't so stupid after all. It sounds like they are starting to get their act in order, now if only they would reverse the care bearing of the game ....
