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.
We know, and its mostly goonswarms sad attempt to ruin the game because they're losing. They're an alliance formed by the members of the something awful forums and have a history of doing this to other games.
I've had a nose about the evidence, and given it's source, I can't say I really believe it. Goonswarm has a habbit of trusting intel from korian hackers (true story)
Jimmys overstating things. They have however droped over 1K members since last I looked. Clearly, CCP debunking their latest drama bomb has upset them.
