EVE is forever a game of internet spaceships. And thanks to CCP those spaceships have gotten better and better, balanced, fixed. Time-dilation has in many ways fixed server stability from when Incarna first came out.
They've done an amazing job catering to starships. Nine years playing and forever a PvPer, I can vouch.
But what they haven't catered very hugely to has been the lore.
Nine years and there's still a wall between the players and the massive (dark) world that is EVE Online's lore.
In fact, there's been a slow decline of the lore since Empyrean Age: Incarna took away a lot of individuality within character options and key racial features. Key characters within the lore have slowly been killed off without any notable replacements. (Caldari Prime was a great touch, but doesn't fill the void very well between events and didn't strongly impact the players within the lore.)
We were finally able to venture outside the capsule but still never allowed to show face as to who we are in the world.
Other parts of the stations would be nice.
More character customization would be nice.
Lore representation of your assets would be nice. (IE, customizing crew for a ship, which would tweak an implant's worth of passives in that ship, with time and enough veterancy maybe a little more.)
Ability to interact with NPCs would be nice. (Such interviewing assets of missions, such as the militants you just scooped.)
Ability to assign passengers to your captains quarters would also be nice. (They would come with assorted props and would change various places around the captain's quarters with each visit.)
There's plenty of other options suggested out there.
Bottom line: Part of what makes EVE Online so deep, powerful, and profoundly ambient is the lore. The lore is defined by the characters involved. We in many ways are the characters.
Who we are is shaped by features of Incarna, WIS, and that which isn't internet spaceships.
CCP has honored us by fixing and balancing one side of EVE now. Please help encourage them not to forget the other side.
After all, you want more people to kill, right? |
