I hope this is the right section for this, since World News is technically fiction about EVE.

I was just wondering why World News seems to come out slowly recently? The last piece was in August. And if you look at the archives, some years have quite a bit of World News and some has very little. I am just curious as to why things slow down so much? Everyone being utilized for other content creation with the new updating cycle? Having board meetings to decide where the EVE universe storylines should go?

As someone that is involved in this game partially for the universe and lore, the news is kind of a big part of that. So I am just curious why there are these really slow periods that don't have anything to react to and nothing developing.

Thanks so much,
San

Priority shift on CCPs part. They diverted more resources to game development and community management than lore items. Sad but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I raised the same issue (and many other lore related ones) in a similar thread recently. It's quite a shame the lack of attention to creating immersion in this game.

Aye, for now it seems it's up to the players to create some events & news about it. I do hope CCP picks up the ingame news articles however, they do add to the immersion of eve online, that the universe doesn't exists solely so you can blast NPC's & players to dust.

In the meantime, I do my best & publish my own reports about ingame events & refreshing old lore about the game.

I think it would be awesome if the CCP lore/news team would take events that players do and turn them into news events. That would be a fun and easy way to get back in the groove! Big smile
