Was Eve the concept of one person from day one, or is the original developer long since gone.

From what I remember a group of 5 friends got together one night over drinking and wanted to make a video game. Of the 5 I think only 2 remain, but I am not up to date on the founders history. You can easily youtube the CCP presents from fan fest 2013, 2007, and others as they repeated the story a bunch of times. Hilmar, the ccp ceo, was one of the original 5 or so. If not the original he joined CCP very early on.

Somewhere in Iceland, there is a pit full of naked men slathered in bacon grease fighting to the death with plastic sporks in order to determine who should be blamed for Eve.


Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I confess. It was me. I'm an Icelandic refugee. I had these boys in their dad's garage in Reykjavik one day telling them how "cool" it would be if ... they took me seriously, apparently. Though, they didn't get to take me, if you catch my drift.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.
