No, the work done there is not lost and will continue soon, but this was deemed more important at this point.

I bet it's daily quests to activate EP generation instead of the current 3-day-login scheme.

Hopefully this alongside a move to FTP

Re: Content update?

hmm

Zoom, lack of content - the lack of players. Here are the main reason. Enough to touch EP. It has nothing to do with. Ppl ready pay $$ every month, but give to us a new content.

Tell me, why has played hundreds of people, when it was the monthly fee? And why now is no the players? And because sooner were patches, upgrades and updates every week. And now, once in six months or a year. And people did not have a booster EP, they did not have the start packs. But they paid money every month and played...

Honestly there's plenty of people who don't even log in every 3 days for their EP anymore.

They didn't mind character trading, but quit over the introduction of skill injectors? How is it any different?

FTP would not help at this point. It's time to sell out or shut down, the 'balance patch' has shown how totally disconnected they are from the reality of the game. It was nothing less than a travesty.

Yes, they quit because of skill injectors, but didn't mind character trading.
There was also the another brilliant idea after it - grind for SP. To make sure they won't return.

Re: Content update?

You can buy all the characters or SP injectors you want in EVE if you are terrible you will still be terrible.
It doesn't change anything except some people can spend crazy amount of money/ISK to boost themselves or their friends, good for them, good for CCP.

Then there is the old players that cry because newest players will be able to have more SP than them. Bitter.

And if you terrible anyway then there's no reason to make ways to buy/grind SP.

Anyway, you can always buy the character, rename it and remap the points. Legal or not. Obviously the supply is larger than demand. People don't mind the character bazzaar because there is one anyway, in any game.

And it's good to be bitter (altough i'm not much). Since EP is not the main factor for victory, i don't see why bittervets and newbies both can't be happy.

It's time based progression, after all. You getting your EP and not giving a damn about grinding for it or buying it for cash. If you need to do something everyday - "write 10 times in chat", "4 hours online", "30 missions", "5 kills"... Daily, weekly... Then it'll just won't be a game for mature people.
Although these activities can be good if they'll be an alternatives for boosters, for those who really want it for free. As long as you don't bother the boosted people with these "incentives".

Well, let's wait and see. Maybe it'll actually be something interesting smile

Re: Content update?

Well, logging for EP is pretty lame tbh, adds nothing to the game. Maybe mining/using market daily for EP can boost  market player activity a little and move away from corp supplies or the jack of all trades players with 10 accounts.

Just don't add missions for EP, hell no, it should be something that supports the game, ie pvp/market/lower material prices.
