Perpetuum Thriving Off Of Eve Online’s Losses


The guys over at Perpetuum Online were hoping to get a big patch out soon, but according to the latest dev blog much of the past few weeks has been spent dealing with a major increase in players, more specifically refugees from Eve Online.

The influx of players brought light to a lot of glitches, imbalances and dysfunctional mechanisms in the game, so instead of rushing forward and pushing out new features in the next weeks, we are taking a step back and making everything that is available in the game better. All of these features are subject to change, but their purpose and outlines are quite clear.

The connection to Eve Online isn’t just speculation, however, as Perpetuum has been noting the surge of players relating directly with the controversy over at CCP over the cash shop and the long list of players committing to quit and find another game. With Perpetuum being the closest alternative on the market, it only makes sense that the disgruntled players would end up there.

Again the long term success remains on whether or not those who pledged to never send CCP another dollar/buy another PLEX will actually go through and cancel or turn around and start mailing their subscription in via anonymous money orders, while playing Eve in a secluded room with Xfire turned off. Don’t fret though, the Perpetuum crew has a lot of plans for the game now that the server issues are taken care of. Click on the link above to read the entirety of the dev blog.
