A good deal of what makes EVE a niche game is
I don't know why but I started laughing my fucking ass off. Damn fuck my suggestions, this is a fucking hardcore niche game. You literally can't get anymore hardcore than that without the internet exploding... |

JUST A FYI, i have no idea what the last one is, i just looked for the most filled out spreadsheet on the internet for comparison of the UI.
Funny thing is it seems to have something to do with perceived star colors?

What the crap was THAT?
I've been playing the game for months and I don't recognize half of it. |

I recognize it all barring the last white spreadsheet. But you can easily play the game and not delve into the "matrix".

What the crap was THAT?
I've been playing the game for months and I don't recognize half of it. Hence the other problem with Eve. I've played Eve for months on and off and never learned how easy it was to do invention until CCP spelled it out for me in their newest tutorial. A whole bunch of gameplay mechanics simply get buried. I sort of like the lead dev thinks about his game but I still think he's going to make some seriously bad mistakes. |
OP is assuming its somewhat of a design-goal of eve to make players happy.
this is however not the case.

On the EVE subscription numbers, some more exact data from the horse's mouthAt the end of April [of 2009], we had 299,064 active paying accounts (..)
In comparison, April of 2008 (..) The number of active paying accounts at the end of the month was 234,314 so nearly 30% growth over last year. |

Ok even I have to admit that's impressive.

Wow I never saw this thread/game before today. Someone mentioned Hellblazer earlier. The description also sort of reminds me of Planetary (in a secret world = secret history way). It also reminds me of how Constantine describes magic to Tim Hunter in "Books of Magic".

Yes, the counter has been around since they put up the pics of the ruined cityscapes of Tokyo, London, and NY. Not sure if it was on that particular web site, though.

At least it's legible. Also, I love the art for that game.  |

Three and half years to launch, then. Just because this is when the world ends doesn't mean the game will be anywhere near ready by then... not that it stopped them before, of course.  |

Three and half years to launch, then. That's when me and the missus are getting married. The fact that I found a woman that agreed to that speaks volumes. |
Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I thought they started up a new round of stuff for people to figure out.

Yeah they actually picked back up around March of this year. Unfortunately, the forum community for this one gets more fucked up by the day. This will get ya up to speed on most of the important shit Snake. |

After a long while away, I went back to have a look at TSW forums yesterday. Apparently appealing to the nutball conspiracy segment of the MMO market has a negative impact on post quality. Trying to actually read through threads involved in teasing out the mystery is impossible. Plus looking at the solutions themselves I'm completely unequipped to tease them out. |

Someone here likened the TSW community to "Lost" fans way back in the day. It was a perfect comparison then. They've went to a far, far higher level of fucking weird however. Like, attending UFO conspiracy investigator conventions kinda crazy. Edit: Example, if Ragnar or any of the people they know to be associated with TSW twitter about anything, and I do mean anything, there will be a multi page thread about it within minutes. It's extremely fucking creepy. You know that feeling you get when you see someone do something so embarrassing it makes your guts roll and your skin crawl? It's like that. |

The biggest thing yet about TSW could be pretty small given all we have is an ARG and a teaser video plus some screenshots.

Beta sign up is seen as a big announcement, despite the fact that sign up to actual start can be anywhere from a couple months to years.
edit: spelling is hard.

On a somewhat related note, Funcom just announced the opening of yet another studio in Montreal. According to Ragnar, it'll house a good chunk of the TSW team. |
