CCP Games, the leading independent developer of massively multiplayer online games, has released the 19th (19 is a ridiculous amount) free expansion for EVE Online. Eve is the most successful science fiction MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game) of all time. Eve Online if you don’t know is an epic MMORPG based around community interaction.
Eve has in my opinion the coolest economy of any game ever as the users can be barrens. For example if I wanted to I could buy a bunch of a resource kill or undercut all the sellers or even ambush the trade routes and then make a fortune. Granted you could make some enemies in the process. My favourite thing is this one quote “This is why it’s so easy to love CCP: Lander went on to describe an exploit that could have sunk the entire game’s economy, and he did so with a big smile on his face.”
““Odyssey is about revisiting the original promise of EVE Online; a truly massive universe filled with danger, opportunity and wonder,” said Andie Nordgren, senior producer for EVE Online. “Yet the true excitement and drama comes, as always in EVE, from the interaction between players vying to attain the same goals. Odyssey adds fuel to that fire.
Celebrating ten years of consecutive growth, EVE Online now boasts over half a million subscribers worldwide. With the mercenaries of newly-launched DUST 514 (free to download and play on the PlayStation3) invading the EVE Universe, there is no better time for players to begin their own odyssey in the world’s largest universe as its Second Decade begins.”
This is from the Press Release since I don’t know that much about the game or the update. I hope Eve continues to succeed.
Thanks for reading.
