EVE Information Portal

Also wanted to add, assuming you keep the "playstyle" page, I hope in the finished product the images/videos would be relevant to the playstyle described (e.g. the pictures for the pirate show tacklers and things getting shot at/blown up).

Just in the interest of making the page more cohesive.

So this is definitely a step in the right direction, but I truly hope that there's an emphasis placed on consolidating information about game play. I used to play Eve quite often between '07 and '10, but life got busy and now I just maintain my character skill queues. This year, I'd love to get back to playing, but it's intimidating to do so with all of the new additions and modifications to the game features I had grown used to.

How awesome would it be if there was ONE reference I could use to relearn HOW to play Eve? How awesome would it be if part of the patching process involved the folks at CCP updating this single information source to reflect all of the new features? Am I way off here? Has this already been addressed in my hiatus from the game? Or am I going to have to read all of the previous patch notes to get up to date on things? I think that maybe having an internal team whose sole purpose in life was to maintain something along the lines of http://www.isktheguide.com/ would probably be one of the single most valuable things that could be done to entice me back into pew-pew sooner than later.

This is from the perspective of a casual Eve player who would prefer spending my time in space blowing things up that sifting through the Support pages, Evelopedia, Eve Gate, and Eve Community sites, and would like something more specific and definitive than an in-game tutorial. I just don't have the time and patience for that.

Having said all that, I love where the game is going and the new focus at CCP, and I can't wait to get back into my pod regularly.

Yep these are good points and something I feel aware of as well. It's much appreciated to get this kind of feedback on it too, so thank you both. It's a balance between getting across that you can define your own path/gameplay style and that this can change (or be a mix) like you say, and also being able to give people an insight into what that means through showing them tangible examples.

Sleeve tattoos are present in current Crucible 1.1 client resources. There is around 20 variations, for example http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/7687/morteevesleeve.jpg
Actually they were in testing right after Incarna release but then 20% happened

Based off the image you provided, I don't think this is interesting enough for potential new players because it gives you no reference, just a bunch of dots. Include region names. If you really want to make it interesting, show sovereignty complete with logos. You're probably going to tell me that that is a toggle but I think being able to overlay ship kills over sovereignty is much more interesting.

This is awesome! However, why only some ships and why only angels pirate faction. I can understand maybe not putting the jove but at least add the sleepers, something a curious player could actually seek out in the game if they started playing. I also second the comment about adding crew and maybe lore description.

This is cool. I second what others have said about being careful for it not to appear as if you have to be one of those roles.

These are both made of win, especially the test.

Please keep it up to date! Also, I think wallpapers can be interesting for non-players when they are so gorgeous they work if you just love sci-fi. The most recent set from Crucible are fantastic.


Overall very exciting!

Hahahaha, I did it on purpose, apparently some people like graphs in dev blogs, so I put a graph in mine for fun :p

Yeah I just want to confirm this is not referring to plexing, F2P or anything like that. It's the "try eve now" link that takes you to the Getting Started page I mentioned in the bullet points.

Hot damn, lol... now you've gone and made me update my client... and I was doing so well...

Consider the potential consequences of allowing EVE players to ship-spin on the web for free.

Marketing. Hope that the nublet is too hooked by the time he realizes he's been reeled in to a subscription MMO.
