CCP Abraxas is very fond of telling you all dark and disturbing stories from the depths of New Eden.
Today though, he's here to talk to you about the Fiction Portal, and the recent explosion of content that has been seen due to the valiant efforts of our ISD Mercury team.
You can read all about the latest additions to the Fiction Portal, and find out more about ISD Mercury in his latest Dev Blog.
Enjoy! CCP Falcon -á || -á EVE Community Team -á || -á EVE Illuminati -á || -á-á@CCP_Falcon -á || -á-á@EVE_LiveEvents

Fantastic! All these stories and pieces of background information ... just incredible. If you haven't checked the Fiction Portal, you definitely should as there is so much to discover!
Many thanks for this to CCP Abraxas, all the ISD volunteers from the Mercury team and everyone else involved. CCP Phantom - German Community Coordinator |

I have to agree that ISD Mercury are awesome, and have done a phenomenal amount of work since their formation to make the EVE Wiki really come alive.
Props to those guys, and I look forward to buying them much deserved and well earned beer at Fanfest for their outstanding contribution to EVE.

First off good job on team mercury, they've given science fiction fanatics alot of things to go digest and a stronger background.
When are articles going to hit front page status again? they seemed to be shoved out of the way into the community again instead of showing up on news tickers and the sorts.
Heck I didn't know the Gallente had a planet bombarded by the serpentis until I went looking for it in the community site.
Also can someone poke the bot to update missile names the evelopedia item list still lists the old names.
and I suck at writing to be honest... I rather let more capable, cultured, and better read people handle it.

Agreed. Once more unto the breach...
Well done to everyone in Mercury. I've been regularly inspired by the work being produced within the team, and look forward to many years of further enthrallment working on this ever-expanding universe with such a creative bunch.

Fiction portal is better than ever and I'm loving all the new ~words~. Big ups to Abraxus and the lore team. You have made many nerds including this one very happy.

While I respect the work put into the backstory by a handful of people, it's sad how divorced it all is from what is actually experienced in-game.
To be honest, I haven't been keeping up on the lore stuff for a couple years, once I realized that what I read there, and what I experience in the game have absolutely nothing to do with eachother. I liked most of what I had read, when I was reading it, but it wasn't EVE. (I'd probably have rather played in the universe that I had read about, in truth.)
When I tried to get back into it a year or two ago, and started asking how, I was basically told that I wasn't welcome. I don't know what the culture is like right now among the fiction people. I'm probably not going to even try to get into the fiction again. It's just sad how unapproachable the fiction is to pretty much the entire playerbase.

Should be an interesting read.
Since ISD Mercury is active (again?) will we be seeing ISD Aurora also coming back from the archives? |

Great job guys, can't wait to get reading!
I did hear these rumors about Tony not working for CCP... I really don't understand where they came from either.
I'm really curious to see what you've gone in and fleshed out on these societies. I'm sure the Amarr RP nerds are going crazy. Give the Minmatar some love :)

Tony left CCP before Templar One was released, if memory serves. Abraxas and plenty other awesome story buffs are still with the company though.

I'm sure we'll see some Minmatar stuff shortly, and with the Amarr and Gallente stuff we have a great level of quality to aim for with that. The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related, that it is difficult to class them separately. - Thomas Paine ISD Sheliak Mesarthim - ISD Mercury |

It's some serious output thats for sure.
A massive personal thanks from me to all the Mercury members and Staff at CCP (past and present) for adding a, pretty enthralling, read to accompany the best ship-destruction game available on the planet.
(As someone who was pre-teen when the BBC came out what HAS been done is monumental)

Aw, shucks!
If you guys have any questions whatsoever about the content provided, feel free to post them here. I wrote the bulk of the Gallente and Caldari content, so I can answer your questions about those in particular. CCP Eterne can answer your questions about the Amarr content. Do feel free to point out any errors and contradictions, too! With thousands of words to go through, there's bound to some here and there, and we all know the reputation of EVE players and their ability to pick out even the slightest mishap from CCP =P |
