EVE lore: The backstory that gives our game life.

Eve Online is a gifted MMO. It has been blessed with developers that are dedicated to creating a deep and believable backstory.

If you have ever been to the backstory page at eve-online.com you know what I'm talking about. The backstory page is stock full of chronicles, short stories, racial backgrounds, organization descriptions and technology explanations. There is enough backstory for eve to fuel a good novel or two. All of the backstory and explanations tie into the central eve lore, a stry that begins hundreds of years into the future, after humans leave earth and begin to colonize other planets.

It is a truly amazing story, it really give eve it life blood. Everything intertwines to give us an image of a place so dear to our hearts, a place we go to to get away from our dull existence, a place we call new eden.

The immersion created by the deep, rich backstory has got me back into the game on those days when its hard to get anything done. When reading it you can't help but see your self flying your fully fitted navy Apocalypse over the majestic space above amarr prime, or just making it by on some 'roid mining colony in the depths of space. You can't help from craving the game once you begin to read its story.

This is the power of EVE, no matter the item, place , or weird anomaly, if you see it, you can learn more about it, and from that become not a player of the game, no, you become something more, you become part of the game!

Zero Punctuation Reviews: Eve Online!

Well, Ill Say this... I completely disagree with his opinion, BUT some of it does have merit... LOL

Pretty much he goes through and tries to show how EVE is the Same as every other MMO except it is BORING!<--- Insert BS here --->

Anyways, If you guys are interested in looking at a very funny and bad review of EVE please watch this video...


PS- His problem is that he was looking for ways to compare it to other MMOs (WOW) and sadly if your looking for things like that, ill have to agree that EVE is completely boring when looking for comparisons to wow, because they are few and VERY VERY VERY x 27804 Far between...

New Chronicle: " And to live in Peace"

CCP has released yet another EVE chronicle, this one is titled " And to live in peace ". I haven't read the whole thing, but from what i read, it is very on par with the other chronicles that have come out recently. I am really happy CCP is continuing to post these chronicles, it helps give the game new life...

I don't know about the rest of you, but when im in a low, and EVE doesn't sound very fun, all i have to do is read some of the back story, or a chronicle and it helps me get back into things..

Anyways, Hopefully patch goes good tonight. Laterz...

CCP and the "Growing Divide"...

Well, i must say.... everyone needs to call down. All I've been reading are posts and blogs about people complaining that CCP is out of touch with its player base. I must dis-agree, and here is why.

A. Faction War- 40,000 people signed up, and played it... now if CCP was out of touch, i seriously doubt 40,000 people would have thought it was cool and tried it out.

B. Game Development - CCP unlike a lot of developers, actually have shown that they care what their players think... CSM anyone...

C. 250,000 subscribers - Eve has 250,000ish subscribers. IF CPP was so out of tune with the player community then it would have no where near 250k.

All this talk about CCP being out of touch... its all BS. Its just the ramblings of old players that reminisce of the good old days, back when they actually could actually do -->Insert Whine Here <-- . What it all comes down to is people don't like change, and sadly CCP is the object that brings change, whether or not a certain player likes it. Change is a good thing, change brings new life to MMOs, without change EVE would have died 4 years ago...

So enough of this bickering, and whining. Seriously, if what they are changing or not changing for that matter, is really that big of a deal to you, then stop playing. But as long as you are playing, you are obviously enjoying yourself, cause if you weren't, you wouldn't be playing...

So stop worrying about the way it used to be, or the way it will be, and do what you came to EVE to do, PLAY THE GAME... let CCP deal with the semantics and the Nerfs, and what not. After all it is there job, and beleive it or not, its your job to PLAY, not DEVELOP.

That is all i have to say on the matter...

EVE Winter Expansion Codename : MIDAS

MMORPG.com recently sat down with EVE ONLINE Associate Producer Arend Stuhrmann and they talked about the Empyrean Age Expansion, Empyrean Age 1.1 and Empyrean Age 1.2. But that was all what you could have expected. BUT at about 4:19 into the video interview Arend drops the bomb, the EVE ONLINE Winter Expansion , Codenamed: MIDAS is quote "..All about Industry.."! This is something i personally have been waiting for, finally its industry's turn to "get the goodies" ( quote from Titan weekly EP#7 ). They didn't go into much detail on the winter expansion, and there was no mention of ambulation, so we can cross our fingers and hope that ambulation will be tossed in with MIDAS... Only the Gods over CCP know, and only time will tell.

Here is the original Video Link.
