Na EVE Online Developer blogu pojavili su se novi detalji oko nadolazeće ekspanzije "Apocrypha" za ovu igru, koja izlazi 10. marta. Otkriveni su Wormholes i nova istraživanja, nova NPC rasa i dorađeni AI, a detalje pogledajte ovde. Nakon izlaska ekspanzije, igra će biti prodavana i na disku koga će izdati Atari.

Dalje, na ovom mestu će moći da se pogledaju 32 najbolje borbe alijansi za titulu PVP šampiona. U subotu će se od 15 sati po Griniču prikazati "R.U.R." alijansa koja je trenutno na prvom mestu, od 19 sati Ev0ke, a od 19:40 rimeč od prošlog vikenda između "Against ALL Autothorities" i "HUN Reloaded". Pored mečeva, developeri će govoriti o nadolazećoj ekspanziji. Akcija se nastavlja tokom vikenda sa živim prenosima od 14:50 do 21:00 u subotu i 22:00 u nedelju. Raniji mečevi dostupni su na YouTube kanalu.

Drugi sastanak igračkog tela "Council of Stellar Management", sastavljenog radi komuniciranja sa developerima igre, održan je na Islandu a rezultati poslednjeg okupljanja mogu se videti ovde.

Poznati sajt o MMORPG-ovima, Massively, su napisali o svim PVP delovima ili fazama u EVE Online-u, od toga kakav je u piratskom pogledu, pa sve do sukoba velikih alijansi. Takođe su primetili da iako je EVE Online u suštini baziran na PVP-u, velika većina ljudi je izbegava. Koliko mi igrači možemo primetiti, to je zato što se lako izgubi ono što se mukom steklo u toku igranja.

One of the most perplexing things about EVE Online has to be the fact that although the game is essentially designed around PvP, a lot of players avoid it entirely. In this new series of articles, I will explain PvP from the bottom up, with a particular focus on helping anyone that has always wanted to give EVE's high quality PvP a try but wasn't sure what to do. In this first article, I examine the different types of PvP available in EVE Online and suggest ways to get involved in them even if you're just finishing the 14-day trial...

Izašao je novi EVE Online Chronicle, ovog puta o izdaji pozantog Gallente izdajnika Anvent Eturrera. Mala grupa plaćenika je upala u neprijateljsku Caldari imperiju, u potrazi za grand admiralom Federation Navy-a, pre nego što se dublje sakrije u Caldari podzemlje.

Day Seven

In the cold, hyperlit metal corridor, the two women faced one another at firing distance. Jeanelle, who'd brought them here, slowly lowered her hands to her hips, resting them on the handles of her guns. Skids, who'd kept them alive, kept her hands crossed behind her head, as if she planned to take a nap. She looked entirely unconcerned.

In one swift and silent motion, Jeanelle drew her guns, aimed at Skids and fired.

The deafening noise echoed through the corridor. In the aftermath of the muzzle flash, Skids stood with hands on her hips, an astonished expression on her face. She looked down at her body, in search of the vermillion stain, but before she could find one her eyes rolled back in her head, and she dropped to the floor.

EVE Online je pušten u prodaju u maju 2003. godine, a na IGN Vault-u su napisali jedan zanimljiv rivju u vezi sa igrom, i kakva je razlika između početka i sadašnjeg izgleda i dinamike igre.

The vastness of space can be hard to comprehend, though space is not empty. It is filled with precious resources used to make vital components for your survival in that cold hard vacuum. Exploration is key to finding riches, fame, and mortal danger, but you are not alone in your endeavors. Pirates roam to find the unwary captain to make a quick and easy buck. Players can fly solo and take on all the risk themselves or join powerful organizations called corporations. Corporations are EVE’s answers to guilds, but they don’t just have a chat channel and friends list. Corporations are the power houses in EVE, controlling whole regions of space and all the structures and resources found in it. To hold on to their gains, corporations are also the entities that go to war fighting with rival corporations who strive to wrest control of the region. This is the universe of EVE Online...

Tama is a 0.4 system in Caldari space and has become a love shack for the Caldari and Gallente militia, with pilots from both sides trying to shaft each other there on most nights. Tama sums up the current state of factional warfare, but I'll get to that in a minute. First, though, an introduction:

The Empyrean Age expansion brought with it a major new feature: Factional Warfare (FW). Relationships between the four main factions have broken down into a two sided conflict, with the Amarr and Caldari on one side and the Gallente and Minmatar on the other. The battlefields for this war are broken down into a handful of low security regions, where players must capture complexes in order to seize systems for their chosen faction, turning low sec into a massive arena for the militias to fight it out. Every system involved in the conflict has a control bunker at its center, which belongs to the faction that currently has occupancy. Complexes are randomly spawned in each system and it's up to the opposing militia to scan them down and hold them for a certain amount of time, while fighting off the defending NPCs and enemy militia...

Nova EVE Chronicle, ovog puta o Janus Bravouru, jednog od ključnih čoveka za napredak i prosperitet Caldari nacije.

My name is Janus Bravour. I am thirty-two years old. I am going to die.

The room in front of me is vast. It belonged to a high-powered Caldari executive who, like most of his ilk, was on the wrong side of the revolution. I would have preferred a smaller room. A room this size means you can't see everything around you, can't contain all the events occurring within its space. This is important. When you're a member of the Caldari State leadership, you need to contain all events within its space, lest they spiral out of control.

This room has spiraled out of control.

We gutted some of the more indulgent architecture - my leader and State ruler Tibus Heth took entirely too much delight in tearing out the cages that had held the strippers and soldering them into a box that now serves as the executive's new office - but the basics, the less-noticed ephemera that were truly Caldari, we kept. There is a sand waterfall, and laser birds that light through the air, and quiet sigils, cast on the floor, that morph from one meaning to another.

My name is Janus Bravour. I sit in a room with a waterfall running down one of its walls, the sand hissing as it trickles through the invisible gutters below...

Strategy Informer je popričao sa Dr. Eyjo i Arend Stührmannom o daljem razvitku i planovima za ekonomiju u EVE Online-u. Na konvenciji u Leipzigu porpičali su o celokupnom razvitku tog aspekta igre, kuda se kreće, i šta možemo da očekujemo u nekom narednom periodu. 

Occupying a niche that has been relatively untouched by the larger MMO market, EVE Online has been going from strength to strength over the years as it continues to develop and expand. So, it came as no surprise that the team behind this infamous title were also present at Leipzig. As part of our coverage, Strategy Informer was privileged enough to speak to Dr. Eyjolfur Gudmundsson, the Lead Economist, Research & Statistics and Arend Stührmann, the Associate Producer.

With EVE enjoying a sizeable player-base – over 250,000 – in one persistent world, the in-game economy has grown to such an extent that it now warrants its own economist. We quizzed Dr. Gudmundsson about the economy and how it has developed over the years…

The landscape was beautiful and serene: The sun, recently set, cast the remnant of its reddish rays over clear blue skies; long fields of wheat billowed in gentle winds; farms with flowery gardens dotted the honey-golden vistas. It was nearly perfect, aside from the group of special ops quietly making their way through the land.

They moved in pairs, and the high stalks hid their passage. Arek and his partner Klar had the closest building and so moved slowest, insinuating themselves through the grass. Their clothing, light khakis and greens, was beset with ocular fibers that reflected their surroundings. It wouldn't fool heat scanners, but it didn't need to. Their intel, limited as it was, indicated that their prey had no high-tech apparatus in his home, not even proper weaponry. It was an idyllic existence insofar as such a thing existed for people like him...

 
Celu priču, i to vrlo zanimljivu, možete pročitati na ovom linku.

Nedavno smo pisali o tome kako izgleda priča jednog običnog pirata protiv više besnih koproracija koje ga jure i koje hoće da ih istrebe... Evo i drugog dela tog teksta, koji je još zanimljiviji od prvog!

I hope you're enjoying the story so far. We still have a bit to cover. There's still theever branching war decs from the BMC corp, through OCCS to their new alliance. Don'tforget about the corps that jumped from the alliance that we dec too.

Oh and I also will be putting in a story or two about my alts griefing their way throughEve. You can have so much fun with alts!

We will also deal with our fight against Eve University as well as our fun we had joiningPrivateers for a bit. I'll also touch on the completely lame tactic Eve Uni pulled toescape the shit they brought down upon themselves.

So get comfortable and here we go! I notice a lot of people are coming and goingthrough Seykachu's corp. They're only sticking around for a day or two at a time. So idecide to ask one of them what's the deal with everyone coming and going. One ofthem was complaining in local that they weren't happy joining a corp that staysdocked 24/7.
