okay let me ask you a question right here right now loud and for all to hear.

what do you think they're doing? do you honestly believe that they take any joy in failing to deliver? you say they're are developing "slowly", but if they could do it any faster do you think they would? making a game is like construction work it can only happen so quickly and there is a point where nothing will speed it up. I think people often forget that this is a JOB it's WORK you work 9-5 and go home. if you're running behind schedule you pull overtime but even then you can only do so much. sometimes **** happens.

Heheh. If they can't deliever any faster, why lie to the consumers, knowing all the while you can't deliever - false advertisement. I assume it's fine with you though.

no, it's not okay with me. certainly if they know they can't deliver. but honestly I trust ccp, perhaps it's a flaw of character, but I like to think that they aren't intentionally deceiving the customer. it's a judgement call that each of us has to make, can ccp deliver the product? if you say "no" why are you still here? our building is a little behind schedule, is it too far behind to be worth it? that's a question I can't answer for you.

To extend on your argument, I'd like to add on this:

If anyone went and looked at CCPGames.com and looked at all the positions they're hiring for the Shanghai division, they'd know that CCP is doing everything in their power to turn things around and speed up the development process. I think everyone needs to understand that these guys have (up until the recent holidays) been burning through -monthly- point releases; that's no easy task and I'm sure all of the developers have felt the grind from that.

Then of course there are members of the community that chastize them for having extended holidays... With that kind of acid-spewing, you can't immediately wonder why CCP is more often silent then not xD

With that kind of acid-spewing, you can't immediately wonder why CCP is more often silent then not xD I'd like to chime in and say that Aeon's spot on here...we're recruiting for numerous positions in Shanghai and we're committed to making this game as amazing as possible. There's been a lot of changes over the last few months since CCP Rouge has come in and we've been refining our development process. I know there appears to have been a little lull in content over the past month or two - but this is generally attributed to extended breaks for the holidays and I promise that a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes - arguably more than ever. :) There'll be more updates to come in the nearish future, as well as some Dev Blogs for you guys to sink your teeth in to.

Game should be made in-house along side maintaining and expanding eve. How can you build a game thats supposed to exist within another game on the other side of the world. Lol at learning mandarin Chinese. While I can understand the point around it being "difficult" to relocate talent from overseas (I myself was expatriated from the UK!), I have to disagree with you on the whole. There are incredibly talented people both at CCP Shanghai and in China as a whole. Online computer and mobile gaming has taken Asia by storm. Having traveled around China and Korea it has been mind-boggling to observe people of all ages glued to games. I visited 5 PC Bangs (net cafes) on my recent trip to Seoul, because I'm a nerd like that. :) Finally, DUST 514 isn't meant to exist "within" EVE Online, but more in the EVE Universe - important distinction. :) We work closely with our buddies in Reykjavik. Edit: Mandarin Chinese is hard. I'm taking regular lessons and still suck pretty bad. But it also hasn't hampered my ability to communicate with anybody at CCP Shanghai and, as I mentioned on another thread, a lack of fluency shouldn't deter to anyone looking to apply for a role at the studio!

I assure you it isn't. I'm very glad that Hans jumped in to reaffirm what I've been saying. I know it's difficult to sympathize from the outside, but I can only promise that we are working incredibly hard behind the scenes to make an awesome game and we will be able to reveal much more in time.
