Oh yes. I really can't stress this enough: The two portals I've set up, the Chronicle Portal and the Fiction Portal, are very much tools for CCP to share official info with you all. The rest of the entire EVElopedia is entirely your own. There really is nothing stopping players from writing alliance reports, writing fiction, posting their own artwork, etcetera. There also isn't anything stopping you from tying it all together in a player-created portal. But we have to keep a clear boundary between player-created and CCP-created lore, for reasons I explained in my last two dev blogs: if we don't, we lose the ability to do everything else we'd planned, like fleshing out the lore and keeping it consistent, establishing an in-game connection, publishing more stories, etc.


If we build portals, how do we get links to some of those portals on the front page (perhaps randomly selected)?

It would be nice to have a user be able to pull the front page and explore from there just by navigating from page to page.

Dude, dry? I nearly got us banned in Germany for writing some of this stuff.


Ugh..... arrg.... let me guess.... drums:

1.) Gewalt, allgemein / violence
2.) Jugendschutz und/oder Altersbeschränkung (§14 JuSchG) / protection of young people and/or rated
3.) Rauchen / smoking of charakters
4.) Urheberrecht und Veröffentlichungsrechte / copyright and publication rights
5.) Gewaltverherrlichung (§ 131 StGB) / glorification of violence

I wouldnt be surpirse if just some lawyer company send a letter out to get some bucks out of CCP. A letter with the company head/infos so long that it is printed on the back, with offices everywhere in the world (Frankfurt, London, etc...). A company which even if you show them that they are wrong, still sends you a letter with a bill. Lawyers...
plz enter here 1000 lawyer jokes which are all of course true.P

I would love to have those classes ingame. See here:
