At the Game Developers Conference, News Editor Garrett Fuller had a chance to catch up with CCP's Magnus Bergsson to talk about EVE Online and CCP as a whole. EvE is a game about the future, and we were lucky enough to see the future of EvE this week here at GDC. I had the chance to sit down with CCP's Magnus Bergsson about what EvE will offer over the next year, some of the scandals that the game has seen, and get some early information on the White Wolf merger and games planned. CCP has a lot of work ahead of them and these guys seem to be ready for any challenge. The first feature that EvE has planned is EvE Voice, which will be coming out on March 20th. The game will have full voice support for players to take advantage of. The service is in final beta and being tested by several Corporations. The service also features directly into the game client so you don't have to use any extra software. Read the whole article here. Cheers, Jon Wood Managing Editor MMORPG.com

Two major graphic upgrades this year. Ambulation and Revelations. <swoon> Or at least two graphic upgrades based upon the same engine.

Yeah i hope they use mascarade instead of requim. The old vampire world was so much better but i really can not seen them backtracking for the mmo though.

Concentrate on the upgrades/updates. The one game I played with voice support was a mess. Spent half the time trying to adjust for everyone. You know when a leftest runs out of ideas...it is when they pull out the racist card.

Because if you live in Iceland, there's not much else to do! lol Being more serious - it makes me feel at home. Fighting for your buddies is better than fighting for ISK. Also, you call for help faster. You can probably pirate faster, but I wouldn't know anything about that, of course! The NEW M.Corp Data Hub - Check it out!

When I read the caption that said they were going to talk about recent scams, I thought it was going to be the one that they were personally involved in. Guess that was too much to ask. Am I beating a dead horse? Maybe....but they got caught cheating.....and that should never be allowed to go away. Every person needs to know about it.

I also love how he goes out of his way to explain that CCP is "against RMT in any form" even though they are allowing players to purchase game money by trading subscription codes for it.

Their firm stance against RMT might actually mean something to players if you could report a farmer that's been logged in a week straight stripping an entire constellation and it's not totally ignored by the GM. Would also be nice if all the characters on an account had to join the same corp together. This would reduce the general theft issues. If you're going to be a jerk then let those jerk pay for two accounts.

From what I've read on the WoD site and from my own experience with CCP, they're working with nWoD products only.

I read the caption and thought "Hey! Maybe they will finally talk about the CCP Dev that got caught spawning Blueprint Originals for Banned of Brothers (or Banned of Developers as everyone knows them by now a`days)!". I guess they are trying to keep that one swept under the rug! They talk about scamming as if it's a bad thing? CCP, YOU FRACKING ENCOURAGE IT FFS. "It's part of the depth of the game, there is nothing wrong with scamming in-game" Your own words! LAWLOLAFF.

I always get all sooo excited when I read about a World of Darkness MMO Every time its the same: I can't get enough !! With the creative license and storytelling experience of WW, as well as the MMO experience and success -- especially in a sandbox, skill-based game -- of CCP, the potential for this title just blows my mind. It might be years from being released, I already can feel the excitement :) __________________ Currently sig-less

Once ambulation comes I'm never leaving the station again. Well, I don't now anyway. But I will walk around, I hope my avatar will wiggle her cute ass in a nice way. And I hope I will be able to buy her clothes and do her hair nice. I don't want to be able to make her dance. An Amarrian princess wouldn't do that. Eve Online - Have a Second Life in Space.

So once that's out and bugs are fixed we're looking at 6 months for them to work on REV3. Ambulation is only something they thought about in the last year or so and since they need the engine for the WoD MMO they are bringing it to EVE as well. Planetary flight is still in the pipe but it's coming after ambulation now. The thing you have to remember about CCP is that unlike most MMO's that basically only plan as far ahead as thier next expansion, they are planning years in advance.

Originally posted by Aethios I also love how he goes out of his way to explain that CCP is "against RMT in any form" even though they are allowing players to purchase game money by trading subscription codes for it. They've removed the need to trade actual game time codes. Previously, a macro miner could purchase a time code with ISK and sell it on EBay - all perfectly legitimate. Now when you purchase a time code with ISK it automatically applies it to your account. It may still be possible to sell isk for cash, but you can no longer find a legitimate way of doing so.

The thing you have to remember about CCP is that unlike most MMO's that basically only plan as far ahead as thier next expansion, they are planning years in advance. That's shaping up to be pretty amazing engine. I read a while ago that they were building around some sort of dynamic interaction between characters. If CCP is able to do with this engine what they said they wanted to, It's going to be one of the most hardware intensive engines on the market; not just for the gfx cards, but the cpu as well. When this goes live next year I will most def. reactivate my account to see it in action. I'm really impressed. Thanks for that link.
