I agree a new intro using the old voice and narrative would be great and very appropriate.

Not sure why it was ever changed.

I always tell people I try to convince into playing EVE online to watch the old intro video. CCP should focus much more on the rich lore behind EVE Online imho.

The old one actually explained the history of what brought us all to this current situation. The new intro is shiny but boring. I love the art-style used in the old intro and it actually tied in beautifully with the art and chronicles which CCP used to lovingly publish.

I would like to see the original intro return but furthermore would love to see the return of fortnightly chronicles like we used to have. They covered the gamut of goings on in the eve world at a macro-level and their absence has really lead to a lack of meaning for many peoples motivation.

OP fully supported ♥

The old intro did a much better job of introducing the premise of EVE to new players than the current one. I feel like replacing the current, ****** into with a revised version of the original intro would make the first time a player loads up the client much more impactful and informative.

I also feel like the storyline and backstory content is still too separate from the game itself. Maybe there should be a chronicles UI icon or something, the games story might not be super relevant to most players, but it is actually fairly interesting and having to read web pages completely external to the game to learn about it isn't particularly convenient or immersive.

Yep, same here. CCP should really look into this. Time to bring back some of the old glory.

According to CCP, it changed to 'Enhance' the new player experience.

I'm not sure how it did that. Like I said before, I think the original video was much more informative as to what EVE is all about.

FC, what do?
