It rolls out without a hitch, is in some cases faster than what we had before, this is the pinnacle of professional achievement.

...

Currently we are seeing _very predictable feedback_ on what we are doing. Having the perspective of having done this for a decade, I can tell you that this is one of the moments where we look at what our players do and less of what they say. Innovation takes time to set in and the predictable reaction is always to resist change.

After 40 hours we have already sold 52 monocles, generating more revenue than any of the other items in the store.

I couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished as a company.

<Misan> Honestly if it was at $5 they would probably have ~$10k plus already
<NKato> ^^^^
<Misan> The troll types would have eaten it up
<NKato> Business sense.
<NKato> But yeah, the trolls would have just bought the monocles anyway
<Morwen> yeah
<Misan> All they needed after that would be to add a classy top-hat
<Morwen> lol
<Misan> Then they'd be rolling in cash

The email has the feel of a captain going down with his ship.

"These are the moments that define us," in other words, "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."

I always like the old saying, "evil prevails when good men do nothing."

If he wants to know what we do, and not what we say, he can check his account management metrics.

I suspect they're saying a lot over the last 48 hours.

The inevitable demise of a group due to a growing amount of errors.  EVE Online coporations use this term to describe other corporations as they come to an end.

This is what we call "foreshadowing".

We just wiped out the login server for Eve Online, and it accidentally took their website out at the same time

CCP griefs way harder than these guys

My mouse cursor is hovering over the cancel subscription button. Not that my 'recurring' subscription has actually recurred in, err, a while. But still.

[Kaleigh Doyle]

It's funny what a difference in perspective does. The players see a flaw in the system and they see a glorious new beginning. You can tell some of it is preparatory morale building because the employees that play eve that login are going to hear an entirely different viewpoint for the entire weekend, and I'm guessing it might cast some doubt on the overall message. As horrible as it sounds though, I think he's right in differentiating what people say and what they do, because forums have always been a source of negativity and angst. People don't compliment when they're happy, but they complain when they aren't happy.

People don't compliment when they're happy, but they complain when they aren't happy.

Speak for yourself.

I can't believe I used to defend CCP and try to get friends to play. I really do feel betrayed, whether that's logical or not.
