In one of the most keenly anticipated patches since the original launch of EVE Online, the 'Incarna' update goes live today. Incarna brings new features into the game including captain's quarters where, for the first time, players will see a 3D rendering of their characters walking around.

The first iteration, fittingly named Incarna 1.0, brings the Captain's Quarters to each station. The Captain's Quarters are a seat of power, a hub of information and a quiet sanctuary for a pilot looking to relax a bit. A quick walthrough video can be found here. Incarna will grow over time, adding new versions of the Captain's Quarters and then establishments and beyond.

Incarna also brings a fresh beginning for a new player's experience, as we've remade it into a "New New Player Experience" and worked hard to smooth out the learning curve. It is now easier than ever to try EVE Online-an even more immersive experience is in store for those curious about jumping in the deepest MMO on the market.
