Yet Another EVE Online Scandal?
Ariastis writes "An open letter, posted by former EVE Players, levels some new and serious accusations against CCP, the makers of the EVE Online MMOG. In the letter, chat logs & event timelines, along with description of in-game events from CCP-Approved reporting users, describe how most of the big role-playing events are rigged to favor specific alliances & players by CCP. More disturbingly, these users also appear to have CCP employees 'on call', ready to step in on behalf of the favoured players and alliances within the game. CCP reaction is member-only, but a forum thread has been left open to discuss about it." It should be pointed out at the moment all of the evidence put forward is circumstantial; take with a grain of salt. The issue of corruption in EVE was addressed in our interview with Magnus Bergsson at GDC.
Spamming every single thread in every single subforum with your "open letter" is not "inappropriate behavior" for the largest alliance in the game? Goons have nearly ruined EVE with their SA "culture" and constant bitching about every game mechanic that damages their ability to blob others into submission with sheer retard power. Right now they have a completely unverified, one-sided testimonial from a supposed ex-ISD member, and some completely unrelated screenshots of Sharkbait doing his job. CONSPIRACY!
