Jovians Have Ascended and Become Gods

I had an idea for enriching the Eve lore today. Ok, so we all know the Jovians are CCP. Well until they give us another story that is what I believe. Well what if they release a story that the Jovians ascended somehow and have become like gods? Then change all the CCP interaction stuff to Jovian something or other. Replace support tickets with "prayers" or something of the like. Know what I mean? Put CCP into the story. We all have to deal with CCP at some point while playing eve, so why not include them in the larger story. When you have to make a support ticket it really takes you out of the game. There should be no reason the Eve immersion should ever be broken by anything ingame.

We could create an entire mythos surrounding the deified Jovians (CCP) and how they have infinite power to change anything in New Eden if it is willed and prayed (requested) for by enough pilots. It would be like Mt. Olympus or the Norse version, Asgard. Think of how cool that would be. Each CSM would be a representative of the Gods and each GM would be a God. There could be massive back stories created and EVE would become a much more story based RPG. Story is everything to me in video games and I'm impressed with many of the changes CCP has made recently. I would love for some money and time to be thrown toward this endeavor. ISK perhaps. I'd be willing to spin a tale with a team and see what CCP thinks.

**CCP this is your chance to become gods. Going to work each day could be your game while we pilots play ours.

It seems that someone hit the battle a little hard and really did find religion at the bottom of it... or rather, a desire for it at the very least.

I am not a religious person at all, but I think it is a better option than sending a support ticket into a company in Iceland. It doesn't have to be faith really. Look at the Thor movies. Those "gods" are real. No faith required.

Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political affiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.

Ok so I think this would add a bit of fun to the procedure of complaining to ccp about bugs or making suggestions to ccp about possible game changes. You can not deny the similarity between our interaction with ccp and how a ppl have historically asked dieties for help. I think it would add a never before seen depth to the game. Not really a religion at all since our "gods" ccp are provably real.

I block anyone that tells me about the rules of this forum or suggest to me how I should speak.

1. They are already in game gods. (They can taketh! or giveth!)

2. Did you watch to much Star Gate? ( I like Star Gate to however, lets not get out of hand here this is Eve)

3. I like the Idea they found a whole new cluster they discovered and will reveal it 3 million years from now. I mean we are Immortal so not a big deal.

I was actually just joking, but your response makes you look like a complete fool.


...and to be honest, a proposal like this would ruin EVE, and turn it into a pseudo-WoW clone. Take your idea and put it in the bin, please.

If CCP games could acquire the rights for the Stargate Universe, and tie that in with the New Eden Wormhole (EXTREME) OMG Cool

Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification
