“Some of (Tony Gonzales’) other work shows a disturbing lack of familiarity with the background material, and in fact a number of the major inconsistencies that now need fixing were actually introduced by him.”
We asked CCP whether they would back Gonzales and all of the work he had done (including any contradictions) or whether they would ask him to put things back to the way they were.
They responded by saying that they would take a ‘middle ground’;
“The story team will post the change list in the near future though, so perhaps not all of the forum hubbub is as drastic as imagined.
We’ll obviously be taking the path of least resistance to practically fix inconsistencies before more content is added on top of it—which we plan on doing in a major way.”
The changes were due to start today, so keep an eye on the EVE website for further updates.
