Edited by: Evelgrivion on 14/04/2008 09:17:47 With the amount of changing of the Gaurd as of late, and the distinct absence of several of CCP's old time voices, I think the time is right for a roll call of developers!
Please reply to this thread if you'd like, and say a little about yourself as an introduction, such as your role in CCP, interests, or maybe a funny quip or two

I'm Morpheus and I started working for CCP around April 2006. My official job title is "Internal Affairs Agent" - try explaining that one to someone who doesn't know a thing about computers. An Icelandic TV reporter once asked me what I did and I ended up saying "I'm an internet cop" on national television, happy days.
On my spare time I enjoy playing video games and listening to music.
Fun fact: I was one of the guys serving our customers pee marinated rotten shark at the 2007 fanfest.

Hi, my name is Atropos, and I'm and addict...
I started working for CCP August '07, after handing out my opinions on EVETV like they were going out of fashion. I work in QA Engineering, making tools to help QA do their job, and it's pretty cool.
I used to be a pirate... well, I suppose I still am, but don't let that trick you into thinking that Devs play the game, I mean, come on, the forums are never wrong
In my spare time I try to work out how I can make money in EVE instead of my traditional approach of hemorrhaging ISK.
Additional fact: I used to live with CCP Mindstar, until his love of pink drove me out.

Hi, my name is Lingorm. I am from Hamilton, New Zealand.
I started working for CCP in March 2006 and moved to Iceland in June 2006.
I head the QA Engineering Team.
I play EVE, Lots. I used to head a major corp but gave that up when I became a Dev. I now agent run, market trade, hunt pirates (and yes that includes CCP Atropos, who works for me. His contract states that he must submit to me killing him once a week so my leet pirate hunting stats look uber) build ships and sell them.
I am best known for proposing to my then girlfriend (now wife, we got married on Feb 29th of this year) on stage at Fanfest 2005.
Other interests ... books ... lots of books. I read lots. Usually Scifi or Fantasy, but Horror and Military History (This was my minor at university). My wife and I have an extensive collection of books.

I never got an Opux only my wife did. And I am not allowed near it.
I play on my regular character(s) ... I just don't advertise his/her/its/their names.

[22]
Hi, my name is Prism X. Born and bred native to this slowly expanding rock in the North Atlantic (That's right! Iceland is growing every year! Thought we were kidding about World DominationÖ?). I started here at CCP around October 16th 2006 as a Junior Database Developer but quickly lost my Junior title once my mentor moved from EVE over to our Core department. I am not a DBA though, that falls under CCP Valars domain.
I am probably best known for: a) Nuking most of your insta-bookmarks. b) Nuking the containers you've forgotten about. c) Nuking the drones / fighters / rookie ships / shuttles you've forgotten about. d) Making Tarminic post in pink during the last FanFest. e) Posting way too much on the forums. f) Creation of the PitÖ on #Eve-Chaos
When I'm not nuing your valuables or bothering you on the forums I'm usually noobing it up in EVE or my computer game flavour of the month (Mostly retro games really. I still play Master of Magic fanaticly for example), prowling some other forums where I can let lose my Forum Warrior, watching english commentaries on Pro/Amateur-Leagues of StarCraft on youtube (although I quit playing a long time ago) or doing some P&P RP. Yes, I'm that White & Nerdy. My only recourse to coolness is that I'm usually drinking beer in the meantime. Oh and I smoke.. that makes me cool, right?
And a fun fact: Seeing as I work on the DB it self you feel all of my mistakes.. and usually hard. So I guess all the flack I get on these forums isn't all that undeserved. ~ Prism X EvE Database Developer Relocating your character to a cozy, secure container since 2006 |

Hello my name is Ginger and i am a nerd.
I started at CCP back in July '06 as a GameMaster, you may remember me from such petitions as "No, you cant have your ship back. But are you interested in my Ginger Breeding program?". I then moved up into content as an Event Co-ordinator in the storyline department, I then moved from that into more gamedesign and storyline work. Now I am the Volunteer Manager for EVE which i attempt to pretend to know what im doing managing ISD, I still work in the storyline dept doing various things because, as you may have guessed, i love it.
Big shout out to the GM Love Machine.

Tux is doing TomB's old job, he's still there just majorly busy from what's been said. TomB got promoted to management 'somewhere'. Oveur was last seen in downtown Reykjavik drinking his body volume in beer and hard alcohol. |

That game was uberness on a stick. I still have a copy that I play every now and again, though I've been playing Master of Orion II more often of late because I'm too lazy to load up one program (DOSbox) just so I can play another (MoM).
Originally by: Thorradin

It depends. I was always partial to Warrax the Chaos Warrior. His ranged lightning bolt attack could actually bypass magic immunity, allowing him to do things like kill sky drakes from range (I think this has to do with the fact that he gets Armor Piercing as an innate ability). If you put sufficient movement-enhancing items on him, he could even kite an entire sorcery node full of them...by himself.
EDIT: Oh, another good one: Ravashack the Necromancer. If he got super arcane power (as opposed to the normal arcane power he starts with) as the randomly-rolled special ability heros get, then he could have the highest ranged attack of any character in the game. Slap the right items on him (I think that included a weapon with the lightning special ability, but I could be wrong) and he could kill sky drakes with ranged magic attacks, too. Hell, I've even 1-shotted a sky drake with him when I had him maxed out as a demi-god (Warlord ftw!).
Quote: I'm holding my Master of Magic CD right now, now I'm going t have to reinstall dosbox and play it. Godamn this game needs to be remade, maybe with multiplayer. Would put HoM&M to shame.
Yeah. I'd absolutely love to see a remake, as well. |

I'm one of the people that tried it. Wasn't nearly as bad as the wiki said but you wouldn't want to get a plate full of that stuff : 1-5 pieces is enough
Didn't know it was you that served it though morpheus.

Hi, I'm Mitnal and started working for CCP in November 2007 as one of the new-fangled community representatives.
You may remember me from such classics as *moderated - mother abuse* or *Locked* User request. However, our work is not purely moderating the forums, it also incorporates a little PR, marketing, internal and external communications, press officer and gopher.
In game I've done pretty much everything from market trade, to mission running through to running the gamut of emotions that is surviving in 0.0 space.
I am less cool than Prism X, if that is possible, in my spare time I am generally found reading, plonked in front of the tv watching sport, attempting to play some of them or trying to stop my son electrocuting himself as he loves water and electronics.
On the forums I like to test the built-in irony detector, my current favourite video is this one and I have to battle ccp_navigator for control of the account just to post :( battle for control of account Mitnal, Community Representative

No he doesn't, he doesn't have a pegleg to stand on, nowhere does it say every name in EVE would/should be unique. If anything the company he keeps has a more damaging impact on him than any association with Atropos.
I'd rather see him go with CCP Ifnity myself. |

Loved that game... think I played it more than Master of Orion. As for a remake, the Age of Wonders series is quite similar (Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic being the most recent game) and are good games in their own right. |

Ohi.
My name is Oneiromancer and I'm a workaholic, some of you know me from IRC or the test server. I've started working at CCP in January 2007 as a junior tester in QA and shed "junior" for "senior" after a few months. I'm one of the few gurrl-persons working hands-on on the game (yes, yes, I know, there are no girls on the internetz). I stick my nose mostly in PVE-related stuff, like exploration, missions and so on. In game I've done a bit of everything, except being a pirate (just because my old corp was anti-pirates and now I don't have time to play any more).
In my little spare time I play lots and lots of PC games (RPG's and strategy, mostly), read books (SciFi and fantasy), read comics (mostly Vertigo-like stuff) and take belly dance and tribal dance classes.
I have a series of unhealthy obsessions concerning things like swords, hats, all things steampunk, space dragons and work.
Oh, and Evelgrivion - I fixed your post, you had some spelling mistakes. =P

Mephysto here. Originally from the UK, I moved to Iceland to join the dev team in the summer of 2005, and for about a year prior to that I volunteered as a bughunter. Since then I have moved on from testing and now hold the dubious honour of being the QA deployment group lead and configuration manager. In English; I make sure that my team has the corect builds on the correct servers, and also spend alot of time making sure the only changes going into a patch are those authorised.

Ex-patriate aussie (they kicked me out for not drinking enough). I've spent many years practising my drinking in countries like Finland, Russia, Czech Republic until CCP saw fit to allow me to join them in sunny Iceland. I've spent a year as a GM (if you've had trouble with POSes, you probably spoke to me) and spent so much time investigating technical issues that the QA department yoinked me a little while ago. Now I get to bother the devs with my dubious questions of "why _exactly_ does this feature work this way..."
I like getting details right Hope to be of some service.
Oh yes - I like to pew pew and RP a lot.

That is the best question to ask any developer or engineer.
Usually when I ask the respons is "uhm...uh...uhm...let me get back to you on that" or finger pointing. But I am sure you don't get those responses at all. You probably get the answer of, "it was planned and your not doing it right, let me show".
We all know how friendly and helpful devs are. ________________________

You, sir, win. Forever and always. MoM is fantastic. Tried Age of Magic?
Indeed. All I have to say is God Bless Home of the Underdogs for having the *patched* version of MoM as my old mint condition box with all the manuals and floppies has survived but alas the floppys information has not. If there was ever a game out there that was in dire need of a re-release with brand new flashy graphics but not a damned thing changed about the gameplay then Master of Magic is it. Btw CCP as you are all into the magic type stuff now with the White Wolf merger and MoM is abandonware why not pick it up for a song and do the gaming community a favor by bringing it back?

I would like to draw your attention to the handy timestamp feature that graces the top of every post in a thread. Using this handy information source, you should be able to tell that the last dev response in this thread was on the 26th of May. Barring this one, which I am only making in a probably futile effort to stop others jumping on yet another "zomg the devs have abandoned the forums!!!1!" bandwaggon.

::crickets::
Last time I posted about my vision for EVE on these forums, it met with a response that, using polite terms, accused me of being naive, fanciful and apparently completely out of touch with what every single one of our players wants from this game. Given that nugget of history you will hopefully understand that I am not about to open myself up to another such display of constructive criticism. And as I have mentioned elsewhere today, the future vision of EVE and official statements about it should really come from the Game Design department, of which I am not really a part. So apologies, but the dev bars that will mark that thread will not come from one of my posts.

Originally by: CCP Ginger Big shout out to the GM Love Machine.
A little problem is that some EVE-players don't understand the work it takes to build and continue developing a game like EVE. And although the last few weeks it looks like the entire player-base is venting of steam, there is a thing called 'the silent mayority', who will stay in the background and have a better general understanding of why changes are made, and what the real impact will be. Alas empty drumms are making the most noise, as they do on the forums.
However like said, most people give a big shout for the dev team, only most will do it silently
/shout - Keep up the great work!

You may remember me from such classics as *moderated - mother abuse* or *Locked* User request. However, our work is not purely moderating the forums, it also incorporates a little PR, marketing, internal and external communications, press officer and gopher.
In game I've done pretty much everything from market trade, to mission running through to running the gamut of emotions that is surviving in 0.0 space.
I am less cool than Prism X, if that is possible, in my spare time I am generally found reading, plonked in front of the tv watching sport, attempting to play some of them or trying to stop my son electrocuting himself as he loves water and electronics.
On the forums I like to test the built-in irony detector, my current favourite video is this one and I have to battle ccp_navigator for control of the account just to post :( battle for control of account

I am less cool than Prism X, if that is possible, in my spare time I am generally found reading, plonked in front of the tv watching sport, attempting to play some of them or trying to stop my son electrocuting himself as he loves water and electronics.
On the forums I like to test the built-in irony detector, my current favourite video is this one and I have to battle ccp_navigator for control of the account just to post :( battle for control of account
Mitnal you just gained one cool guy point from me for linking that Falco video... i think i watched the intro 0:00 - 0:15 about 10 times.
the last few mitnal posts I have seen he was joking around rather than the click locked that I am so used to seeing, I think he had a good vacation or something

Originally by: CCP Whisper last time I posted about my vision for EVE on these forums, it met with a response that, using polite terms, accused me of being naive, fanciful and apparently completely out of touch with what every single one of our players wants from this game. Given that nugget of history you will hopefully understand that I am not about to open myself up to another such display of constructive criticism. And as I have mentioned elsewhere today, the future vision of EVE and official statements about it should really come from the Game Design department, of which I am not really a part. So apologies, but the dev bars that will mark that thread will not come from one of my posts.

Well, given EvE is preety much the only MMO worth playing at the moment and that is going to change, I see that flaming a dev whose vision is, politely said, naive, fanciful and out of touch is entirely warranted, but I guess not saying anything at all is best.

Ex-patriate aussie (they kicked me out for not drinking enough). I've spent many years practising my drinking in countries like Finland, Russia, Czech Republic until CCP saw fit to allow me to join them in sunny Iceland. I've spent a year as a GM (if you've had trouble with POSes, you probably spoke to me) and spent so much time investigating technical issues that the QA department yoinked me a little while ago. Now I get to bother the devs with my dubious questions of "why _exactly_ does this feature work this way..."
I like getting details right Hope to be of some service.
Oh yes - I like to pew pew and RP a lot.
good to see an aussie working for CCP, btw i don't suppose you could push the downtime a little later for a fellow aussie could you?? J/King, well only a little

Theres many out there dying to know....
Or can I borrow a -BoB Standard Issue Batman style "Dev-Lamp"- to beam a whopping great eVe into the forums from this thread??
I would like to draw your attention to the handy timestamp feature that graces the top of every post in a thread. Using this handy information source, you should be able to tell that the last dev response in this thread was on the 26th of May. Barring this one, which I am only making in a probably futile effort to stop others jumping on yet another "zomg the devs have abandoned the forums!!!1!" bandwaggon.
EDIT: Yes the thread was old, but it got Dev reposnces shortly after being posted. or is it the fair weather friend thing?
Can you go an take one of the Game Design team a coffee and ask him to pipe up on the subject then? or poke them with a stick, tempt them with beer, whateva works thses days.
But: on a less hateful note. Do you actually all (or just the Game design team then) share the same ideals and aim for direction? or is its many voicing pulling the game in many different directions with the usual office politcial war being behind some decisions? i.e IS there a mission statement for developent, one which should be consulted like a prime directive??

Hello everyone,
GM Nythanos here. I started here at CCP in March of this year in Atlanta and have played EVE heavily for several years. You may remember me from such petitio replies as "Please tell me where the POS in question is located". I enjoy playing EVE and like to RP, pirate, and carebear now and then (not on the same character). I play videogames heavily, and like listening to rock and heavy/power metal.

Im Anubis Xian, I dont work for CCP, but I probably should. Ive come up with various ideas such as Sovereignty levels, and I may have had a small part in Black Ops and Marauder developement...they dont tell me of course.
Infact I churn out ideas like rabbits churn out droppings (flank wide open for the smart posteriors among us).
I might have applied at CCP at one time, I cant remember, but they never called back.
Anyway, I love walking on the beach kicking the whales, and getting caught in hailstorms.

Just one curious question for the Devs here and I hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
How are proposed changes to certain game mechanics being tested prior to releasing these changes into the production environment?
Is there an entire team that stress-tests certain mechanics in ships on a dev environment or are changes, like nano-nerf for example, being calculated simply by looking at the math-side of things and then released to Sissi in the hopes the population will bring some feedback to the table?

Can everyone who wonders why the devs dont post about the game anymore please print out this response and put it on their refrigerator or something? It seems to be very difficult to understand that being a complete jerk to a dev makes them maybe think twice about posting again.
I remember when the devs posted about the game development. I liked it. I understand they dont do it anymore. But I dont blame them for it... I blame the players that go way too far in their criticisms. Its like they forget its a person behind the alias.

ah I remember speaking to you over the phone late one night during the Boot.ini debacle. I really appreciated all your suggestions and work arounds, but alas my laptop was royally screwed and went to the shop.

Well hello there everyone,
GM Gilsev here, I am best known for finding ships, minerals, and anything else that happens to go lost and also dealing with skill point problems. Some of you may also know my from my dxdiagnostic requests. Been working out of the Atlanta office since March of this year, and been an EVE player for years. Sadly I could best be described as a carebear, or rather only described as a carebear. Never been involved in PvP of any kind.
To all you people who I have found your SP for you, or tracked down your items to save your alliance, I expect compensation in the form of alcohol at FF. Ist tiem fro mroe bree!
