Better late than never, CCP's MMOG gets boxed retail distribution via Atari.

The newest generation of smartphones has begun to deliver on the ideal of having continual access to your data on the go with persistent web connections. As such, the iPhone is becoming ubiquitous, helped no doubt by its ease of use and the ever-growing number of apps available to users. In the relatively short time the iPhone has existed, it's already begun to have an impact on the gaming world. Given how stat-centric massively multiplayer online titles are, it was inevitable that there would be some steps made towards a marriage between the iPhone and our games; some developers are creating iPhone apps that extend certain aspects of MMOs beyond the game client.

This can be especially useful with a game like EVE Online, where players typically have a number of things going on, even while they're not logged in to play. While the EVE iPhone apps don't act as game clients, players can, for instance, check in on the skill progression of their characters, check their wallet balances as market transactions and contract sales take place while away from the client, and in general keep tabs on their virtual involvements in New Eden.

True stories of EVE Online to become comic book and TV series

The CCP Presents Keynote at the annual EVE Online Fanfest is usually a fairly tame retrospective on how CCP has a company has done the past year and where it's going in the future, but for EVE's tenth anniversary, CCP broke out the big guns. In addition to announcing a massive new collector's edition, the studio has also revealed plans to turn real stories of events inside the sandbox into professional comic books and even a TV series.

Industry giant Dark Horse Comics, the company responsible for comics like Hellboy and Sin City, will be publishing the 54-page graphic novel this winter in both a paid-for print form and a free digital download. For the lore buffs among us, Dark Horse will also be producing a colossal 184-page glossy colour hardback book covering all of the NPC backstory and lore behind EVE Online and DUST 514. Titled EVE Source, the book will be an in-character almanac of everything in the EVE setting that isn't player-created and will even include previously unreleased concept art.

Celebrate EVE Online’s 18th birthday - Share your moments in this player video contest

As EVE approaches this remarkable milestone, we wanted to reflect on everything that has made the last 18 years so special, the millions of moments which make up the incredible stories EVE players have been creating together for nearly two decades.

There are already plenty of well-known tales which will pass down in legend. The steel nerve of the heist which stripped every asset from the once mighty Circle-of-Two; the subterfuge required to build the cluster’s first ever citadel in complete secrecy; the 14 hour savagery of Fury at FWST-8 - we’re not short of headline events. What we want from you is the things we may have missed: the moments you’ve witnessed in person which have defined your Capsuleer experience.

Vote for Rixx Javix for CSM16

You can read my interview with Rixx Javix Here

"o/ Everyone, this is Rixx Javix and I’m asking for your support as a candidate for the Council of Stellar Management.

You may know me from a thousand different directions. From the recent FFA I hosted 2 that set the record for most ship explosions ever in Low Security space, from the Freaky Frigates collection 13 that is currently being sold on the Official Eve Store, from the free swag I handed you once at an Eve player meet, from my RedBubble store, from my Eve Magazine EVEOGANDA 8 which I’ve been writing for over eleven years, from my spaceship posters that CCP sold, or from countless community events, charities, podcasts, streams, logos, or other projects that I’ve been involved with over the years.

Thing is, no matter how you know me (good or bad), you know that there are few players as passionate, dedicated, and committed to Eve Online. I play every single day that I can. I bring content to the game wherever I go in space. Events like our annual FFAs, DeathRaces, the Alliance Tournament, free books, maps (like the recent Eve Fantasy Map I worked on with Ithica Hawk 9) or the maps in Andrew Groen’s History of Eve book 1 series. Whatever you might think of me, I will bring that same level of commitment to my time as your representative on the CSM.

I care about this game, our community, and the players that play it.

I sincerely appreciate your support."

Eve Online economic analysis released

CCP Games, the makers of MMO Eve Online, has released its first quarterly economic newsletter, which analyses the population and economy of the game.

CCP Games, the makers of MMO Eve Online, has released its first quarterly economic newsletter, which analyses the population and economy of the game.

It's the first publication of its kind, and has been written by Eve's resident economist Eyjolfur Gudmundsson, who was previously the dean of Economics in CCP's home city of Reykjavik, and assistant Kjartan T Halldorsson.

Unlike most MMOs Eve Online is based largely on user-generated content, and features a highly complex economic model, based around a single persistent world made up of almost 200,000 subscribers.

According to Gudmundsson this creates markets "that behave in the same manner as markets in the real world," and means that managing this element of the game is crucial to its long-term appeal.

Rainbow Six Siege Raises $170,000 For AbleGamers

Other developers have raised money for AbleGamers in the past. As recently as last month, Eve Online did just that. The community managed to bring together a sum of $10,000 that the developer added to with its own $1,000.

Congrats to the EVE community for raising over US$10k for @AbleGamers, especially @chocolaterahne and the #Streamfleet team! CCP will be donating an additional US$1k in support of our players' efforts 🙏🕹️#tweetfleet #SpawnTogether #EVEfriendshipweekhttps://t.co/203r1NJBhm

— EVE Online (@EveOnline) March 25, 2021

However, Ubisoft isn't stopping with AbleGamers. The launch of this charitable bundle was only the first in a series that it is beginning, dubbed the 'Sixth Guardian Program.' Each bundle will support a different charity and likely follow the same formula - a series of collectibles, like weapon skins and charms, that are branded with the charity's insignia.

Capsuleer Survey

Knowledge-thirsty Capsuleers,

A better understanding of EVE Online players is a long-term pursuit of ours: engaging with you on the forums, talking with you at events, reading blogs, watching player streams, sending out surveys, working with the CSM – the list goes on and on. Not every EVE player is the same and there are myriad reasons why you enjoy flying around in New Eden; whether it’s the thrill of the hunt, pride in helping your friends, the joy of exploration, a keen interest in marketing trading, or something more.

The journey of getting an even better picture of what drives each of New Eden’s Capsuleers continues as we now launch a new survey, the Capsuleer Survey. The results from this survey will continue to help us in making EVE a fantastic game - for you, and those who may be like you but haven't tried it yet.

For completing this survey, you will receive 7 days of Omega time and also your own individual player profile, and you will help us improve New Eden for the future. You can complete this survey by logging in and clicking the link on the character selection screen.

Top 8 Promotional Video Game Music Videos

 

Unlike most of the other videos on this list, there’s no gameplay clips of sequences from Eve Online. That’s because the actual gameplay of Eve is boring as hell, so I can see why they didn’t include it. I kid, I kid. This music video is more of a promotional video for CCP, showing the staff in the Icelandic, Atlanta and China areas, singing along to the song. Permaband has done about half a dozen songs since HTFU but to me, it’s still the best one they’ve done.

Another great fleet last night

Last night was another great fleet. We got a total of 468 million in ship kills and got to have fun with Miss Marisha's gang in Tama. I knew they were around, just didn't know where they were, until I ask my Scout Chip Woodsman if Marisha Malice was in the system. He said she was and he narrowed down where they were and we helped and got the drake kill on the gate.

Here is a small clip from that fight:
