Just out of curiosity. Will these be sold exclusively by the EVE store?
Or will we be able to get these from other vendors? Such as Dark Horse / Amazon?
As, as of right now, there's no way I can get these in Japan without paying insane fees to send them from Germany > UK > Japan. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

The books will be distributed by Dark Horse, so while they will be available on the store, they should be available everywhere you'd expect Dark Horse books to be sold, such as their own website and Amazon. |

Oh, come on... what does that have to do with the real game?
I mean... you show us a cutaway drawing of an Algos... it looks totally cool... but then we are in a game where the only thing you'll ever experience from within, it's an empty room.
I feel a severe disonance, because that book looks beautiful... promising... it fuels my imagination. But then, it haves nothing to do with EVE Online the game. Not just my personal experience with it, but also what the game really does and accomplishes. I wish with all my heart hat EVE was like that book. Capsules. Cities. Crowds. Compartments. Humans...
But the real game is like this:
Pretty lights - The battle of Asakai
It's not bad, not at all, when such a massive event triggers spontaneously and players get 110% of what they put into he game, but it haves nothing to do with what those books say about EVE.
And i am too burned out to afford loving the artworks in that book and then get back to the real EVE. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden! |

The book approaches the universe as it strikes us and as we would like to represent it. With the written word and imagery we don't have the same constraints as a game client imposes on us, and thus, we will exercise that freedom as much as we can.
Sorry about ruining your day with pretty pictures! |

The panel sounds interesting, any idea if it will be streamed/recorded for those of us not present?
Also, obligatory 'Books for Plex?' question. Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

Sorry to be asking about this as i know its off topic.
But is there any news or going to be any devblogs about the TV series in the near future?
I dont think theres been any announcements since Fanfest. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Not that I am aware of. There is some streaming and YouTube coverage planned of Comic Con, but I don't know if this event is included.

That would be cool, wouldn't it? We will look into it. |

I too exercise that freedom in this very forums, as a preventive measure to not get too bitter too often.
But then i can't but crave for what it should have been and now won't be. Concerning EVE, learning of Incarna is the second thing I regret more, right after having started playing it almost 5 years ago. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7.

Have faith one day the client will be able to deal with all this extra game potential (I do..) even if going into a station for a drink or landing in Caldari Prime to chill has nothing to do with internet spaceships, it beats reaching 4 digits on shipspinning.
While we wait for the so-much-more-needed-actual-space-stuff updates, the TV series and the books will do, greatly :)
Thank you so much for this, from the immersion and roleplaying perspectives *prepares to dodge the potential xenophobia* this is a great step forward.
Cheers! |

Thanks for the image. Now I'll be reminded everytime I log in that my dude swims in a see of ****.

Looks great.
I love this this initiative, making EVE more real for me, and spreading the word.
Will buy/watch/read all of it.
Don't think I'll be making NY Comicon, but it is great news to see this happening. The only end-game content in EVE Online is the crap that makes you rage quit. |

Finally a glimpse in the capsuleer nature of eve online. Words and illustrations can do a really good job at replacing "the door" experience.
And who knows, finally when CCP decides to open the door, they will have so much easier task having lots of conceptual work already done true comics, books or the TV show BALEX is recruiting -----> tinyurl.com/oscmmlv |

I know it is nearly seven months away, but hopefully you folks could potentially plan on visiting the New York Comic Con's sister convention here in Chicago - C2E2.
I would not mind getting that old art book (out of print?) signed. |

I'm already doing that, what hurts it's the lack of hopes to do it in a more tangible way. It's not the pretty pictures what's wrong... it's the ugly game.
By the way, some people are getting really carried over the Algos cutaway. They think those could be concept arts for upcoming features. You really don't deserve some of your customers...
