SMS notifications from EVE
We stumbled on a easy way to do SMS notifications from EVE in co-operation with our hosting and service partner Sİminn.
What this mean is that you could get SMS notifications for various events in EVE, skill training, evemail, station attack, corp application, market match, etc.
Quote: Now before we start doing any actual development around this I would like to know if anyone would be interested in this. We would have to charge extra for this, as we need to pay for the SMS delivery, so we would charge this as a extra service.
So if you are interested, please let us know.

Now to me this just seems like a very useless Idea cooked up by a bunch of Managers.
for one Whats the sence of getting a message that your station is under attack or that one of your items up for sale has sold or that the guristas are invading your favorite mining site? Are you going to tell your girlfriend oh sorry I got to run home and log in and defend my station? or any of a thousand other senarios like that just cause you got a SMS message?
please log in and visit the "Eve Insider"- "Dev Blog" and post your thoughts on this absurd idea. Does not matter if your for or against , I am willing to bet that the majority here will also think its a bad idea and a waste of their time to do this when they can actually be doing the tech 2 and other content they have promised and fixing old bugs
thank you for your attention

Bad idea. SMS services are too expensive, and I can't see the use for it.
IMO They should offer this service by email instead. SMS Services...must....die... Money-sinks

I think you will be surprised at the sheer amount of people who actually will use this service. not everybody is logged in all the time and is more than happy to spend let's say 25cent on a message that his station is under attack. so he can leave his UT match he's currently playing to join his mates in the fight.
and another 1000 scenarios like that.
and how many times does it have to be said that there are different kind of "working areas" within the CCP dev team ? besides, they wouldn't implement this if it wasn't easy as hell. all these events already have triggers on there own, they prolly just have to add ObjSMS->send(this); to those triggers and make the appropriate SMS class; should be no biggy --

YAY!!! I can pay to be told that my latest skill has finished when i'm nowhere near my keyboard how useful. There was my thinking that it was easier just to check when the skill would finish before logging off.

Or exchange phonenumbers with a corpmate and keep eachother up to date by SMS when it's really really needed. Saves time, money, and makes it a whole lot more useful.

I would love it receiving a sms telling me that I finally sold that uber implant or that my agent received a tl2 BP while I'm sitting in a pub.

-*THUMBS UP*-
Rillian, cashman, ever heard of free though? Why not put you own thoughts or opinions out but don't presume to speak for others. I think, as with many others looking at the forum for opinions on this, that it would be a good idea.
I agree I would not be running home from a day out to change skills or spend money from some item sale... but I would pull myself from, maybe watching TV, reading a book, doing some assignment work, walking the dog, etc...
I agree that the deciding factor is going to be money. An extra ú/$ a month would not be much at all (A sniff of beer) but ú5/$8 would be WAY too much.
So the idea is not a bad one and would help some players, its just the cost that will be the deciding factor.
e-mail alerts would be almost as usefull and if (as I have) you get sms alerts for e-mails, this would prvide the same alert system.
Anyway.. I like the idea as long as its afordable!
You may see the cup as half full, others may see it as half empty... Me... I know the cup is twice as big as it needs to be!!! |

Edited by: Wotok on 29/03/2004 13:28:39 uhm...I've the feeling we got different imaginations of this sms service.
I would like it the following way: When I put some sell/buy order on the market or when I start a new skilltraining or whatever, then I get a additional checkbox "sms notification (warning: costs 10p irl money)".
Of course this checkbox is not available before I activated the service in my account settings (by entering a phone number).
Of course I would never use this service for the purpose of insta-running-home-to-my-computer. But I think it's a cool geekish nice thing receiving a sms and beeing excited about just having earned 100 mio. isk. :)))

CCP: i'll pay you an extra 5$ a month but i don't want a crappy, spammy SMS messaging service... most poeple have that already, it's called wife / girlfriend.
Instead i want content, proper PvP balance between ship classes and slightly better server performance.
How does that sound to you?

As long as it's optional to use this sms thingie I don't give a feck. I only have one account, resent alts so I always know exactly when my skill training is finished. No sms service for me thank you. If it's not optional (which I think it is?) then no way.

Edited by: Kaylana Syi on 29/03/2004 16:05:28 While I think SMS is an neat function... I would think that they would put out an VXML 2.0 data packet that could be handled by this website and feed a simple login via remote client.
The system could authenticate then push out your data to your own custom web based app could parse it and you can send it where ever you want and to whatever you want.
It would also allow us web developers to earn some isk making apps for mega corps. Open Standards rule. -------------------- The Nest

What would be far more useful to me would be the web-based skills management ability. You know, that part of the wishlist that has been around forever...

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Me, I think this service will be optional. It's not going to hurt you. Carry on living. ------------------------------------------- "My main griveance with the Caldari state was that once I had finished my work for them, they wanted me dead."

I won't be signing up for this service.
I'm sure many people will find it useful (read: those jobless wonders who spend all day at home playing computer games instead of paying taxes) but I personally find it surplus to requirements.
