Twitter is a new and wonderful invention .
CCP_Fallout has denied that SOE is involved with a merge or take over of CCP:
“CCP_Fallout CCP

@RyunosukeKnT to be best of my knowledge, no, but i am not at all qualified to adequately answer this question tbh”

Followed up with:
“CCP_Fallout

i can confirm that SOE has not purchased, nor are we discussing a buyout, of CCP. #eveonline #tweetfleet“

CCP has also publicly announced on their forums that they are not being bought.

However a few more links to SOE have emerged. These are the facts we have so far:

- In an interview by Massively with John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment they discuss the recent closure of Star Wars Galaxies. In one of the interview questions on the future of sandbox games he gives a very cryptic answer that further strenghtens our belief that CCP is currently in discussions with SOE .

“So you don’t think that sandboxes (and sandbox systems) are dead for SOE? Will you ever make a new sandbox with SWG’s pioneering features?

The answer is… stay tuned on the subject of sandboxes. We’re super excited about the future of sandbox gaming. Let me just leave it at that!”

- This new information coincides with recent information from SOE developers of the next Planetside game, titled “Next”, which is being delayed. The reason given for the delay: there will be a new engine going into it. An announcement will be held later at SOE Fan Faire in Vegas July 7 – 9.

- Coincidentally, CCP has promised a big announcement during EVE Meet in Vegas on July 16.

-Both the CCP payment portal and SOE stationcash portal were updated on June 24th. The payment portals now look more similar with black top bars (although still at different heights). Our sources with inside information on CCP claim more similarites are about to emerge in the next couple of months.

- Coincidentally, these payment portals changes happened on the exact date when SOE announced the closure of Star Wars Galaxies.

These are the facts we know so far. You be the judge. You make your own conclusions.
