Noah C. Ward, a designer on the next EVE expansion, let us in on a few secrets from this popular Icelandic MMORPG. We learned about the faction system planned for Kali, the current subscriber numbers and their planned graphic overhaul.

Noah Ward of CCP Games is building an expanded PvP experience for the game’s next expansion, codenamed Kali”.

The designer, who joined CCP Games in August of 2004, has helped put together the factional warfare system that is the headline of Kali.

It comes at a time of record popularity for the online space-MMORPG. Noah recalled subscriber numbers in the forty-thousands when he first hit Iceland. Since then, this beta-tester turned designer has seen their customer base triple, currently at over 120,000 paying players.

"Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience."

This article just explains why CCP just has been doing so well. They are dedicating an expansion to just help people get into the PvP of the game, now thats listening to your customer base.

The whole idea of it sounds very good, and I'm glad they are planning on revamping the graphics.

I think this will help out a lot of people get over grinding issue so many complain about. I think that right now there is a farly big gap between secure space life and low security life. Like it is stated in the article it takes A LOT of "foreknowledge" to survive in low sec space and to participate in corporation warfare.

I think that this is a great idea, it will allow people to work on their PvP skills while being prepared for it. Because a lot of people complain that they do badly because people always catch them with their pants down (mining and such). Well now you can practice PvP without worry that you will not be ready. Another imporant thing is that loot is a suplemental thing, this will not be grinded like PvP system was in WoW because there is no point since you can get something better.

If you tried EvE and got tired because you could not get into whole PvP thing I would recoment you to check it out again after Kali comes out.

Graphics update is nice (heh it always is), but to me game looks great as it is, but if they want to make even more pritty I am all for it!
