Would it be a live action series within the universe as I understand HBO are doing, or would it be more engrossing to have it outside of the game, about players managing these titanic alliances of players? An anime, 3d ect.
Or go the .hack//sign approach, another anime where the protagonist is stuck inside an MMORPG, to them that is the world, with emergent AI in the system.
Penny for your thoughts?
Like Babylon 5 and have the whole series as a single story line, but at the end of the series have a twist, in that after several thousand years as the story is told an eve race reconnects with humans from the bulk of humanity via a star gate, as new eden is compared with the bulk of humanity in the milky way galaxy just a little isolated out post of humanity consisting of just 7,000 systems.
In the game there are 4 races and you can only do so may permutations with 4 races. As the game may need some fresh blood and direction to stop it going stale, as Jove isn't an in game race.
As the lady dev called butterfly, or what name she's called said at the FF, CCP is thinking along for a future expansion to allow players to construct their own star gates.
As the last trailer says new eden is in a distant part of the universe. But how distant is distant?
I hardly think new eden is set in MACS0647-JD.
The two Magellanic Clouds are 160,000 and 200,000 light years away, enough to make you feel all nice and lonely and desperate when the natural worm hole you used to get there goes poof and implodes.
The eve story is 'when the star gates could take humanity no further', so the milky way was full...ish, but the Magellanic Clouds each with several hundred million stars each with the larger one probably having twice the number of the smaller one is empty and ripe for colonisation, and as photographs show both have lots of dust and gas nebular as in the game were now accessible via the natural big stable worm hole so humanity piled into them, like on the American western frontier in the 19th Century via this worm hole.
So, take your pick, the closer (sic) big one or the more 'distant' smaller one.
The twist in the TV show at the end of the first series incorporated into the game can be an opportunity for CCP to cope with a possible influx of new players who were viewers viewers, as the 4 eve races can only give so much scope, and a different humans from the bulk of humanity in the milky way galaxy with different ships will bring new conflicts and interesting shifts in power.
The 4 races in new eden, have had things in a cozy setting for a long long time, then these new interlopers from the milky way bulk of humanity come flooding in, and after some joy at being reconnected with new edens distant ancestors, find the old status quo is being over turned as the new comers to new eden start to change the nature of its corp and political power structures, and nothing is as it once was anymore.
And new edens humans going back into the milky way galaxy, find their way of doing things i.e pvp. leads to conflict and clashes of intrests.
Sorry for the length, but mining gets boring when you have a belt to yourself. |
