Matthias DuBastyra	Posted - 2006.02.01 15:14:00 - [1] After reading the second issue of EON, I am really excited about the release of EVE the CCG. The cards look great and I have been a fan of CCG's since the revised edition of Magic the Gathering. At last I'll something to do while I wait during extended updates or new patches. I sure do hope they release the first set soon! I've decided im gonna buy a case and my fingers are just itching to feel that new card slick texture that you get when you open a pack for the first time. Has anyone heard of a projected release date yet? I just can't wait to lay down a "Wrath of 'Geddon" Matthias DuBastyra Imperiadux Quote: "He Who Controls the Spice, Controls the Universe" Baron Harkonen

Gretek Lal	Posted - 2006.02.02 00:40:00 - [17] Eve a card game? Interesting. I tried to get into Magic, but unfortunately I found that there are very, very few players even remotely close to my age. I have no interest in sitting cross legged on the floor at our nearby card/comic shop and playing a game with a bunch of 10-15 year olds.

Kyguard	Posted - 2006.02.02 02:22:00 - [20] New game? Eve? CCP? Kieron? I haven't bought E-ON nor do I know what this new game is about, someone please explain what's going on and what CCG is? -\|- The above thoughts are my own and do not represent my alliance.

I'm in Australia so I hope they didn't Release EVE CCG only in America I'm sure I'll find it and Collect it. May even meet some-one to play it smiles My Bad, I got so Excited I didn't read the last bit of the post, Still excited though smiles Can't wait

Aran Cole	Posted - 2006.02.02 03:49:00 - [23] For those of you who can't figure out what "CCG" is despite all the context clues and use of the word 'cards', just remember that you are connected to the greatest wealth of information in the world. Maybe you should try using it sometime for something other than surfing for ****. _______________________

Shugo Kazuma	Posted - 2006.02.02 05:24:00 - [27] Dunno if I'd be interested in actually playing a Collectable Card Game based on EVE, but I wouldn't mind picking it up if the artwork on the cards is half decent.

Hillesumos	Posted - 2006.02.02 09:08:00 - [29] Tired of those long haul missions or having to jump 25 time b4 going somewhere, it would be nice to click on an icon and voila the CCG game apps appear in the game and you can play it with some friends for isks or it could be a nice pvp or pirate thingy AKA "you let me go if i win this CCG game". I liked the porting of magic the gathering as a computer game and sometime still play it while playing eve, it could be fun and a great way to beta test the real CCG. Also make a nice nerfing, setup talking point too. --------- Sadly I just make ISK, I don't print it. :(

Skellibjalla	Posted - 2006.02.02 09:46:00 - [30] Edited by: Skellibjalla on 02/02/2006 09:46:29 <---Sitting close to a PILE of EVE cards from the beta run The card game is like the online game - Beautiful, innovative and absolutely brilliant! I fully expect EVE: Online people to love the card game, but we've made it so that people that know absolutely nothing about EVE: Online can easily get into the game. But honestly, holding the "Armageddon" or "Megathron" card won't feel the same to people that haven't played the game online ...oh, and there will be no lag!

My name is Petur; I am the designer of EVE: The Second Genesis CCG. I promise we'll do our very best to deliver you a high-quality CCG and I hope that you will feel that it keeps up with the brand's standard. The game is mainly aimed at mature gamers such as your selves as well as CCG veterans. Even though the game hasnÆt been officially announced yet, we obviously havenÆt been ôhush hushö about it There will be a more formal announcement as soon as possible that will contain more information about the game and its release. E-ON also provides a lot of information on the game. I will get back to you soon, Brokkur Helfari

Sirilonwe	Posted - 2006.02.02 13:32:00 - [33] It is a "good" idea. But which place would it have with already well known CCG like Magic? I have EVE friends, but those are not very near where I live. Why would I buy such a game (and I really would like)? If there was a CCGWorkshop version of it, i'd like to test it. Do you mind if someone did an electronic version of this CCG? ____________________________________ Free ISP users, read this if you have connections problems

Do you mind if someone did an electronic version of this CCG? CCGW is a nice application, but I don't think CCP would appreciate an electronic version of the game right now. I can't speak for them (contrary to popular belief I don't work @ CCP) but I would estimate the chances of there being an electro-CCG are the same as for an electro-EON. I want the EVE poker chips... :) ----------------------------------------------- Editor, EON http://www.eve-online.com/eon/Issue#002 available now!

Krayl	Posted - 2006.02.02 15:13:00 - [35] I hope this game is not just 2 player... Would be nice to have a large game where each player is a major empire or alliance... Remember the Babylon 5 CCG which did something like that? wonders if there will be any mention of current player alliances in there

Brokkur Helfari	Posted - 2006.02.02 15:26:00 - [36] Making sure that the game would play equally as well in multiplayer as in 2-player has been an integral part of the game design, in fact, one of the beta groups prefers to play multiplayer only. -Brokkur

Matthias DuBastyra	Posted - 2006.02.02 15:54:00 - [37] WOW! Still in Beta, eh? Do you need anymore beta testers? I'd love to try it out. In my community, there are five of us that are Magic the Gathering veterans that also play EVE with me. We are all part of the same corporation. I know they would love to help beta test as well. We take our gaming seriously and I think we could provide for you another perspective from half a world a way (San Antonio, Texas over here Yeehaw!) To clarify from previous posts, CCG is an abbreviation for collectable card game. The term is used to denote a game that is primarily based in a card format (however, some companies do stretch the definition a bit). CCG's are different from other games in that each player plays with his own deck of cards that are customized by the player. Within the scope of the rules of that particular game, the player can customize his deck based on the availabilty of cards. This is where the term "collectable" comes in. Unlike a regular deck of playing cards, each box of cards contains a randomized collection of cards. The cards, more often than not, can be grouped into a collection much like a suit of playing cards (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) but the grouping has more meaning in a CCG as it determines compatability. Once you have bought several boxes of the cards, you will notice that you will have several repeats of the same card and fewer repeats of other cards. The name for this anamolly is what makes the game so addicting: rarity. Some cards are "rarer" then others. In a generic sense, most games have "commons", "uncommon", "rare-uncommons", "rares", and "ultra-rares". Usually the commons are the weaker cards and the Ultra-rares are the more powerful cards (but not always--sometimes they make fewer of a card just for collectablilty factor). To make EVE-sense out of this, think about the suit of cards being the races of EVE and the commons being frigates and rares being battleships. An Ultra-rare example could be the Navy Issue Megathron or a Daredevil Frigate. Once you've tailored a deck, you can pit it against someone else who's done the same thing. Deck construction is it's own science and it can be frustrating at times. Each game system has its own rules for deck construction but most of them follow two basic rules: Card minimum and Card Compatibilty. Card Minimum: You would think that if you had every card in your deck, you'd have everything at your disposal but the problem with that is the draw. The draw limits you as to how fast you get those cards you need into your hand. Plus, if you have a deck of 50 cards, there is a 1 in 50 chance that you will draw the card you need as opposed to a 100 card deck (1 in a 100 chance). Which odds would you prefer? So in this case, more is not necessarily better. Card Compatability: Nothing is more frustrating in a game when you have your hand full of one suit of cards only to draw the next card you need but its the wrong suit. In playing CCG's the same thing applies. You could play with all one suit of cards but that also limits you too. Imagine (back to EVE sense)you play in a corp with that is all the same race. Lets say, Amarrians. Nice ships: strong armor, good ranged weapons and nice tank-ability. Now lets say you set up for sniping. Wohoo! Your 150km off a gate and ready for stragglers. But in warps a Blasterthron! Uh-Oh, could be trouble. If he gets under your optimal, you better get your warp on. In the CCG world, each suit or grouping has it's weaknesses much like a sniping Apoc vs a Blasterthron and if your opponent has just the deck to do it, you are smoked! So imho, playing at least two groupings is ideal. Each one to cover the other's weaknesses. Well, I could go on but i'm running out of characters. He he. I hope this helps you understand some of the basics. My intention was not to write an exhaustive treatise on CCGs but it looks like a nice start for one. Well down to 66 characters. I guess I better stop (28). Matthias DuBastyra Imperiadux Quote: "He Who Controls the Spice, Controls the Universe" Baron Harkonen

The artwork for the CCG has all been done internally, most of which have been taken from ingame screenshots or the illustrations used for the Eve Chronicles, and other sections of the web site. If you're a fan of our artwork, you will not be disappointed by the quality of the CCG artwork. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

Throdax	Posted - 2006.02.02 22:52:00 - [42] I'm guessing next we would have the equivelant of Battlefleet Gothic but with Eve... that would be... would be awsome!! I dream alot I know. I hope the CCG would be a complex one, as those are the CCG games that most mature audience finds atractive, at least around me. Battletech comes to mind as an original, diferent and complex game and some other games come to mind as Horus Heresy, Net Hack, etc. I would still love a miniature game on the Eve universe

Kldraina	Posted - 2006.02.03 04:16:00 - [44] I think it would be really neat if they could add it to EVE so we could play against our friends while mining.
Remedial	Posted - 2006.02.03 05:47:00 - [45] I think the real question is whether the predominant player base will be socially retarded 30 year olds with neckbeards hanging out in comics shops, or maladjusted 14 year olds being stuffed into their lockers at school between games.

Good point, Remedial but then again how would that be any different from EVE players? Based on the tone of your post there, I'd say your the maladjusted 14 year-old.

Lygos	Posted - 2006.02.05 00:38:00 - [52] With a few years to lend perspective, I rather wish prosecutors would descend enmasse on corporations that peddle these gambling services to young people, especially whomever distributes those pokeman and other crap to my nephews. Surely, some prosecutor, somewhere sees a RICO acts violation or something in all this. However, I do kinda miss those fellow childhood geek friends who would meet every other night for a 6 geek tabletop free for all with red and green jellybeans for kobold tokens. Those guys are probably all either in prison now, or killed in a freak LARPing accidents. If you or someone you know is a teenager and is considering a flashy lifestyle of collectible card gambling, please stop and tell your friends that it would be better and more productive to do something wholesome like support the local alcohol distribution centers.

Out of a staff of approximately 60 developers, we have one working on this full-time (who has zero server or programming experience), four if you count the artists who have contributed new artwork to the card game. The rest of the Dev team are working in the areas that they are supposed to. A well done CCG is a great marketing opportunity to bring new players into the universe. New players means more subscriptions, more subscriptions means more income, more income will be spent on more Devs and hardware. Personally, I do not see how this can be a bad scenario. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

Leo Showers	Posted - 2006.02.10 00:23:00 - [68] Hmmm... I say bring it on smiles As a Collector I will be buying these Cards and the best part is knowing some of my money is going towards Improvements to the Online Game. An all win situation in my books.

Personally, I do not see how this can be a bad scenario. so kieron, if I play syncophant, will you make a "Bared Bel'Medar" card? My ego isnt NEARLY as stroked as it could be. actually, there are some characters who have changed theingame face of the well, game, and I think they deserve cards: Duke Droklar Stavros Jade Contanine KIAINKz TRIGGER Eternal Dark Xirtam SirMolle Oh, and obviously myself. Make them super rare cards that you can only have one in deck of and and be uber. If thse idea is actually taken seriously, i'd talk to the above players and ask thier favorite ships. course, you could cheat and just look at thier skill sheets and see where they have specialized.. and look at thier hangrs and what ship they are currently in. Imaran looks good in a dress though -Eris Added the '/' that Eris forgot. Da Doc's in da hizzouse! ~kieron
Zolofine	Posted - 2006.02.10 03:04:00 - [70] Please don't do this... I've never gotten over my MTG addiction and after 8 years i'm STILL looking for a fangroup to play MTG in O.o
J Dubbs	Posted - 2006.02.10 05:48:00 - [71] Heres a thought: Will we be allowed to trade our R@RE cards for in game isk?
Matthias DuBastyra	Posted - 2006.03.29 18:47:00 - [72] Any word on the CCG? Any new developments? I bought some Magic Cards over the weekend and I was thinking to myself, "I could be holding the Navy Issue Megathron instead of this Nephalim." Please, please, please hurry! Of course, I say that about my wine too--I understand you can't rush perfection. I guess Im just anxious is all.

Frezik	Posted - 2006.03.29 19:33:00 - [73] Has there ever been a better reason to stand outside CCP's offices, jumping up and down like a 4-year-old, screaming "I WANT IT NOW"? I think not. ---- "Well in this case, he's being flamed, and rightly so, for whinning about a game mechanic that doesn't actually exist." -Lorth

Instead, I'll just pound my fists in the ground and kick my legs in and out. Matthias DuBastyra Imperiadux of House Draconis Quote: "He Who Controls the Spice, Controls the Universe" Baron Harkonen
xplosiv	Posted - 2006.03.29 20:44:00 - [75] im probably eve's worst ccg junky. im a card collector, trader and player of just about every ccg out there. and i have to say i have deep reservations about a eve CCG. because it's a novolty. the player base of such a game is limited to the size of the eve user base, the distrbution of card is going to be mostlightly low scale so that mean you will probably end up having to get the cards shiped to you directly much like E0N. and thats frikkin expensive for the adverage deckbox of 60 cards.(like $20 p&p) second ccg are half about collecting half about playing. beyond the limited chance to play others you have to take into acount game time. for that you need games that are extreamly fast to setup and start (yu-gi-oh has 1 of the most easily playable yet challanging formats around atm) with games lasting max of 40min for a balanced match. the closes CCG to eve theme of scifi is probably the startrek one, that game is a NIGHTMARE to play and is just horrible. on the other hand the lack of a good sci-fi CCG would alow for a good eve version to fill he hole, if it was done on a large scale. Magic TG is probably the best market model for that size of game as itis the only 1 of the top 3 CCG that has not had a HIT KIDS TV show to back itup. The EVE ccg does allow for unique opertunities to be linked with ingame event's, goals, acheivments, awards ranks and ship ownership. say in the new kali award system some 1 earns a award for 1000kills in pvp, irl they get a card to refelct that. or when the salvador serp+ titan story ends the person who lays the final blow gets a card "slayer of serpentis" for example.
Matthias DuBastyra	Posted - 2006.03.29 21:00:00 - [76] Well, Xplosiv I think you make some very valid points but I also think that you are making a few assumptions. 1) The game is gonna be released world wide all at once. Considering the fan base, as you have, the game will more than likely be limited to the online gamers, initially. However, as the popularity of the game catches on, we just might see the market explode in requests for more cards. 2.) The game mechanics are going to be complex and not gamer friendly. In the article published in EON #2 on the topic, the game designers announced that the game has very similar mechanics to Magic: The Gathering. Now Magic, as most everyone knows, was the first CCG created and is still considered the most popular and most circulated spanning the globe and printed in several different languages from Chinese to Portugese. So, with all things considered, I think EVE has a very good chance of filling that Sci-fi niche you mentioned. All it would take is careful planning and making sure not to over extend one's resources. I'm setting $100 bucks aside to order the first pallet of cards as they come off the printer racks. My friends are all doing the same. Matthias DuBastyra Imperiadux of House Draconis Quote: "He Who Controls the Spice, Controls the Universe" Baron Harkonen
crom ralphfao	Posted - 2006.03.29 21:14:00 - [77] guys!!!!!! thanks for doing this, i used to play swccg and think that eve is an excellent premise for a ccg. is this entirely in house or is a game company like decipher part of it? i work at mcmurdo station in antarctica, as you can imagine we get isolated in our rooms sometimes from the weather......the satellite usually goes down too, it would be nice to have something to play with besides myself!
Soreu	Posted - 2006.03.29 21:21:00 - [78] Please tell me there will be a Soon(tm) card. Something like "Your last action was nullified as that feature isn't available yet. It will be implemented "Soon""
Corbin Devereux	Posted - 2006.03.29 21:22:00 - [79] Originally by: Gretek Lal Eve a card game? Interesting. I tried to get into Magic, but unfortunately I found that there are very, very few players even remotely close to my age. I have no interest in sitting cross legged on the floor at our nearby card/comic shop and playing a game with a bunch of 10-15 year olds. Most of the players i know are 21+. I even know a few 30+.
JAG Solis	Posted - 2006.03.29 21:40:00 - [80] So.. if i beat the other player(s) do i get to keep their stuff (cards) like in the real EVE? otherwise, what would be the point? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [JAG]<SOL>
