An end to an era? Bloomberg: Eve Online Owners Said to Weigh Game Maker Sale After Approaches "CCP hf, the Icelandic game developer that created the cult classic Eve Online game, is exploring strategic options including a sale of the business after receiving interest from potential bidders...

From Blues News: http://www.bluesnews.com/s/154519/ccp-closing-sf-office And it is only going to get worse as Elite moves closer to release. Elite is the type of space game people have wanted for years. Eve Online was a good substitute...but just that: a substitute. If Elite launches in...

Word has it that CCP, creators of EVE Online, are closing their SF office and laying off numerous support staff. How that will affect EVE over the long term is uncertain, but it got me thinking about the state of the game and where it's headed. And, sadly, from where I sit it doesn't look good...

A pretty juicy battle from B-R that saw no less than 70 titans perish, which is a new record for EVE Online. That comes out to be about $500k in real US dollars that was destroyed in this fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCK-E5AopVI

With the likes of Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen on the horizon, CCP is going to need to do something to get away from the often dull combat of Eve Online. This is a good direction to go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KmNQEiJUthc

While I expect the graphic novel to arrive as promised (free if you get it digitally? I don't think this is going to be high quality), I don't expect to ever see an actual TV series. Don't get me wrong: I would LOVE to see a faithful TV series based on the game. But making that a reality...

Time to throw out my back issues. The best thing about EON were the short stories. The rest was too concerned with high-level stuff, like capital ship loadouts and competitive PvP. I think EON left too many casual players out in the cold, hence, their ultimate failure. Eh, it is all...

The official forums are a constant battleground with people suggesting changes, nerfs, and fixes and trolls shouting them down. It's a little quieter here. So what would you change about EVE?

Damn it. For all of EVE's problems -- and there are mountains of them -- it still has a unique appeal.

Having become pretty well bored with Star Trek Online, two weeks ago I gave EvE a try, and I'm sorry to say that I absolutely hated it. Being a serious gaming and scifi fan, I wanted to love this game, I really did. After all, unlike STO, in EvE you can actually experience the rise and fall of...

CCP is wasting their time making games, they should instead focus on making movies! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrrVDV_NsNo They always have great trailers with great music. :cool: Does anybody know if they made any improvements to missions? One of the things that always annoys me...

I haven't even gotten into the whole PI aspect of the game. http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=2899 Not sure of the implications of this. :) Opinions?

Here's a neat project somebody worked on: 1505 days of Eve Online sov changes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJxiDrOvYwM

It seems to me that CCPs real problem is a lack of follow-through. After reading a bunch of these articles on past CCP expansions, it seems like CCP gets really excited by a concept, rushes it into an expansion, and then loses interest when it comes to handling all the nitty-gritty minutia the...

I wanted to post this out front, but its been one of those days where I've managed a bare 15 minutes on the PC all day. Sheesh! Anyhoo, this is interesting stuff. First, we have Hellmar making this interesting mea culpa: Don't know if this is good or bad, but that letter reads like a carbon...

This is pretty cool: EVE Online Making A Hack Into A Feature Has anyone tried this yet?

Called it. :) CCP on the future of Eve item store: “$10,000 gold-coloured Scorpions – who knows?”

So...anybody give it a shot yet? RPS had this to say about the new currency system:

I'm really get sick of these hackers targeting their own kind. Sure, we all laughed when the corpses at Citi Bank or the collars at the IMF were hacked - that was funny, but this...not so much. Eve Online Taken Down by Hackers (satire, people, satire)
