1. What will be the game be like in the future?
Eve will allow players to access the game as a partial log in from various physical devices for quick, small changes to numerous aspects of the game: market adjustments, mining set-ups similar to and including planetary interaction, skill changes, et cetera. These small alterations that will allow a player to remain a part of the living universe nearly continuously but without the ability to interact with another player directly in real time. At the same time, the game will develop and expand further towards both these minute moments for minimal rewards. While being directly involved and interacting with the game will be its own rewards, over time, enough of these small partial log in alterations might add up as a powerful force to sway the online players' future in directions they can not stop initially.
2. What feature am I looking forward to and why?
I would like to witness randomness of effects in the gaming universe - let the universe strike back occasionally. After years of wasting resources, let a shortage slowly creep into the gaming world. Death and pestilence strike large tracks of the universe - creating "dead zones" where the Empires, the Jovians, the ~little~ people on the thousands upon thousands of planets blame the pod pilots and hold us in contempt, if not an outright declaration of war. And let the very technology we rely upon - the Jovian pod - become our prison as it dehumanizes pilots into being a cybernetic state of mind as the years pass...
3. What is my greatest fear for the game?
My greatest fear would be similar to the horror stories told about Dungeons and Dragons back in the day. Someone in real life becomes too wrapped up in this gaming universe where they lose perspective of being just a "gamer" in a "game". Then if another player does this person harm in the game - and within the gaming rules - this detached person will hunt down and do physical harm or death to their offender. Once the media twists the events in an attempt to blame CCP and / or Eve, CCP will either be forced to close down or sterilize the very core of this game causing Eve to lose its soul. |
