joe2: my fiance definitely does the dishes. I cook, though. He knows no stove setting other than 'off' and 'high'.

Hi all...

just a few notes on all those things, since I have a meeting in a few minutes :p

1) We're still working on updating the public site & ingame to help retain users we get from marketing. We pay to bring the users in here, and I'm not confident we'll keep enough of them with our current setup to warrant blowing all our money on advertising yet.
2) We're moving toward the Facebook model still -- this requires a lot of work on the core game code to make it work with both setups.
3) qz, slag and I all put a ton of work into things late last year and early this year to get the game ready on time to save the the community and keep it together. There was some fallout for all of us IRL for it, and I know that I've been dealing with that for the last month or two (thesis work ;))

So I guess the short of it is.... the pilot project we did last month showed some positive results, but we still have to do a bit of redesign and content flowing to ensure we retain a large chunk of our leads.
Moving into facebook, we will gain from social marketing through that, and IMO, that is where the future of EE lies. The expansion in servers was done partially for that reason :)


I'm not sure if this is a sadder commentary for EE or Facebook.

no it isn't in nearish future due various reasons like security to prevent running multiple countries via different fb-accounts.

I think we might just have to bite the bullet on this one and accept that multis are going to happen. My mom was a hardcore FarmVille player (lol. I know) and she created around ten fb accounts just to gift herself things. My point is, it happens and has happened and mods should just be aware and delete when they can. It should not stop EE from getting to the next level!

I played a game on my android for a while, The Infinite Black (Still on my phone, but I don't play due to lack of time) These people are nuts and encouraged to make "Alts" / alternate / multiple accounts. I only have two ships, but there are some with 5-10 ships. That's an incredible amount of time and or devices (programs) needed to run all your ships simultaneously.
It is alliance based with a very strong learning curve, but there are always people IN game ready to answer any question, live. Like a mini IRC. Public channel (universe) Alliance Channel, Clan Channel, Market Channel etc...

Anyway, my point is, maybe if players want to take that much time to play and are willing to do it, let them make multiple accounts and countries to start and work out the bugs to have one account at a later date to help the game?
My wife actually goes on my FB to play zinga poker, gift herself and plays a few other games that I would never play ( My friends think I'm great at these games they see these scores "I got", but I have never played them in my life lolz) . Would you rather have an "RD" running 5 countries with 10K players in the game or what we have now?

fb-multies would be even worse than rd-multies were back in the day, they would kill countries and alliances just for kicks.

besides i doubt fb would give ee-mods and admins access to its users ips etc to find multies.

The day this game makes it to facebook, is the day that all hell breaks loose lol. Maybe FFA should be released to facebook first. I think that would give a good platform on how they correlate to each other.

I doubt its technically possible to not give ips, unless fb acts as strict proxy. And in this case fb would be used for alot worse things than multies in online games. And anyways, having fb info allows to find multies alot more easier (i.e. account with zero friends and no other activity is almost always multie).

Lets be fair, admins just dont want this game to be popular. They like it slowly dying.

PS
There were 409 countries in the Alliance server.
