EVE General Discussion

Drunk late teen, early twenties vikings....How are they ever going to agree on that?

They'll all claim it was their idea first.

A long, long, time ago Dog became increasingly frustrated with Adam's incessant bitching, and screaming at clouds about being alone, so when Adam was sleeping, Dog stole one of his ribs and created EVE, who was intended to occupy all of Adam's time.

This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.

Honesty/dishonesty doesn't have to come into it.

You can be a perfectly upstanding member of the community and not have a perfect memory.

Nikola Tesla. Need I say more?

legend has it, it was a very young Mittani, who after successfully infiltrating the US government set his eyes on even bigger game. he envisioned a Sci-Fi themed game that would serve as bait, to attract all the neckbeards, weaboos and IT professionals of the world. he figured, once he had them all under one roof, he could then control them, and since most of them held positions of power on their own gubernatorial apparatuses, he could indirectly control the world.

but fate would not have it, so hes now the leader of a legion of burgerflippers and plain old Neckbeards. no weaboos though, those went for TEST.

WHAT A FASCINATING LIFE AFTER FOUNDING EVE/CCP !!!!


Thorolfur Beck has enjoyed - or perhaps we should say endured - an intriguing career trajectory. He's been a global ambassador for kids TV phenomenon LazyTown, laboured on a Reykjavik building site, produced Iceland's 2006 Eurovision Song Contest entry and spent six months working in a psychiatric hospital. We should add that all these disparate entries on his CV come after his five-year stint as Eve Online's very first lead designer.


"That's ridiculous. Eve came about from a childhood fantasy. It wasn't all mine, but it certainly wasn't the fruit of some brainstorming."

1 In the beginning was the Veldspar, and the Veldspar was with Chribba, and the Veldspar was Chribba.

On occasion, Dog's alter ego comes out to play. Either way, he is an ugly thing.

I don't think EVE can be attributed to any one really. Part of the goal of eve is to create a universe where every sci fi thing can be done in a game. So you can say the sci-fi setting to early sci-fi writers etc. as for the game mechanics. well those are hardly original. Hell if you strip away all the faff we really have similar systems to wow. with healers, tanks, damage etc.
Although the customization of each ship/character is way more in depth.

Eve's core mechanics are: Travel system (thats actually pretty crap and leads to bottleneck inspired gameplay like camping and ganking). the combat system (As above. not really that far from other mmo) and the structures/industry (also not that revolutionary. Mining. where have we seen that before).


It's like in Jurassic park. CCP just took what other had done and built on it. And before they knew it they had something. But as the years have shown their creation kinda is not as easy to manage as they hoped.

Which ever CCP guy played Tradewars 2002 BBS before the popular internet and said I can do it better.
