Good stuff. Always good to see my favourite game marketed. As for new people never being able to catch up to old people, that's true. The thing that makes all MMORPGS last is the natural entropy bell curve which says all players get bored after x months. IMO I think the average EVE'er will play for a year and then move on. The minority will stay longer and the minority will stay for less. What this means is we'll have a few 'legends' who will hang around for ever, a few 'noobs', and a whole bunch of people who will be near enough on par with each other in terms of pvp

EDGE is from the same stable of publications as PCGamer and they did sone nice coverage on EVE about two months ago.
I normally definitely get EDGE and PC Gamer occasionally. However just popped to WHSmith and they had the October issue and the EVE article is pretty damn good.
CCP couldn't get better fanboi coverage if they actually paid someone to write it 
Its nice to see that over a year on from its launch the word of mouth on EVE is just getting stronger - before Shiva has even been launched.
More atricles = more subscribers = more cash for CCP = more investment of the game and its deam = better gaming experience.
EA and SOE could learn something from CCP I think

After just geting introduced to EVE leveling system I came to the conclusion that the perfect system would be an hybrid rewarding both online and offline time. I saw an article recently saying that DAoC was implementing an hybrid system to get its new player base in the thick of the action faster. They are going to give players a level for every week where they leveled on their own atleast once if I remember(not retroactive ). They had trouble with new players geting discouraged I think.
This is from memory, a DAoC player can correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually though they'll never quite catch up, as time goes by it takes longer and longer for veterans to train skills for less effect, early on they train all the rank 1 skills, then the rank 2 etc etc. A million skill points for a newbie makes a massive difference in how they perform. A million points to someone who already has 20 million has a small effect on their performance.
Unlike some other games someone with 10 million skill points fighting in a battleship versus somone in the same battleship with 15 million isn't a foregone conclusion - it depends on ship fitting, what skills they developed and their combat skill as well.

eve has this system, but its just too slow, if you fly a industrial ship for example you will slowly get skill points in that skill, I trained amarr industrial to lvl1 and got nearly all of lvl2 for free
the problem is that this part is just too slow

We at Eve Radio are very excited to have been mentioned prominently in this article. It's a real boost for us and especially all the DJs who work so hard.
That said, they were obviously tuned in to Doby's show when they wrote the article. That's the only explanation for the praise + dissing we got all at once.
