Much love!
Will the pictures be the same size of their older counterparts? Is it possible to get bigger versions of them (Don-¦t know if you have the original files)
Couldn-¦t find the chronicle "Taught Thoughts" ( i really love this one).
Excellent work, keep the lore coming!

Edit: The page looks really nice and accessible, but it would be great if you could change the release date of chronicles/stories to their original release dates and not the dates they were added to the new portal. Just so we can read them chronologically if we want to.
This
Also, a little redundancy is welcome. For example, on the Minor Factions once you click the logo, the text part doesn-¦t come with the logo, only the name. It-¦s goof to fixate the knowledge oh who is who. |

It's there. ;)
On image sizes, there is a little bit of resizing being done by the site but in general you can view the image at it's original size if you want to by right-clicking and 'view image' with your browser.
Thanks, we will continue to work on this and are all looking forward to adding new lore in as well as bringing it up to date with the library of existing lore.

Can we get a numbering on the Black Mountain series, please? I never remember in which order they are supposed to be read. |

This is awesome, but what would be really cool is an in-character timeline thread where you can read the lore from when it actually came from, in a manner that allowed you to see all of the lore, or limit the timeline to a single faction so you could read through their history to now.
Would make it easier for people to the game to understand the Rich story that sits behind the game in a sensible manner |

My god the interface is terrible. Why do I have to have so much wasted space? Why is there not a compact view. Also none of the links work. |

I think everybody is at this point familiar with Wiki structure and there is nothing better. I will see any atempt to make something else as a step backwards.

I haven't taken a good look at it yet, but it looks decent. Happy to see something, anyway.
But I don't feel like making a github account. Can I not use the bug report for issues?
So far the only one I've found is a 404 on Arcurio link on the Caldari Prime page...which is a pity considering my personal interest in that city.

THANK YOU!
I appreciate that this has come back, but I'm not a fan of this new tablet/mobile format. On a desktop, there is just too much wasted space. As someone mentioned, a wiki format would be far more suitable. This is an issue with the EVE websites in general. They all went through a few changes in recent years that have become overly simplified.
The other issue is that many of the short stories are missing their original artwork. For example, the Jovian West grave is missing the pictures of the Caldari cast and the Jove.
Also we're still missing the DUST 514 chronicles and lore and all the original chronicles from EON Magazine. I know these were never there but let's keep all the lore preserved! :)

I get that you don't want to confuse idiots/new players by not mentioning the Jove on the empires page, but it's a real kick in the teeth of the actual lore. |

Wooonderful! I'll agree with some comments like Tavin, but overall, happy to have a dedicated site for lore and fiction and ease to find such pieces :D

Really cool, happy to see a bit of lore back on the main sites (and some of the artwork from the Eve Chronicles app)...my two pence, for what they are worth:
> Jovians - being so central to the lore behind/ leading to: SoCT, Sleepers, drifters, et al, it seems odd to leave them out. Would not an 'Extinct Races' or similar be useful here?
> Format - others have mentioned it, it looks okay but leaves a lot of empty space.
Other than that, really good start - am really looking forward to how this progresses. If anyone involved in the project does read this, a few ideas that crossed my mind while browsing:
> Detail - I was reading the Mordus Legion blurb - would have been great to click through links of their hulls, a bit of nonsense on their design approach, the chance to spin said hulls. Also; some fictional encounters from other factions involving them, details of the occupied star systems, how to get there, 'well known' agents offering missions etc.
> Livery (SKINS) - display various liveries of factions, bit of historical blurb etc.
> 'Points of Interest' - Images, guides, maps to the various POIs round New Eden - the eve gate, memorials, titan graveyards, etc.
There seems to be much potential to link up the various other environments via this page: from skins, to PVE and guides and much more, I really hope you do...awesome stuff team. Thanks. |

http://fiction.eveonline.com/new-eden/scientific-articles/interstellar-traveling What idiot wrote this article?
"By studying the layout of the jump gate remnants, a curious pattern emerges. The jump gates snake out like a spider-web from a central point. And what is the central point? It is the system known to Amarrians, who first found it, as GÇÿImlau EmanGÇÖ, or the GÇÿMouth of GodGÇÖ, but is today better known as EVE."
No, it is called New Eden, it's always been called New Eden. New Eden contains the EVE Gate. Seriously, between this and the total ignoring of the Jove (so much so they don't even have their own racial page?) shows that CCP have zero respect for the lore of the game.
It is also referencing the whole "Jump Gates have to be in Binary Systems" tidbit that was retconned years ago. |

I have a few things which could be improved:
- The sort order of the chronicles is confusing. The chronicles are called "chronicles" for a reason. I know that especially the early ones were quite independent from each other but many chronicles accompanied specific events or historic phases in the game and often refer to earlier chronicles. Right now, those chronicles and even series like "End of the World" or "Black Mountain" are not in order. Using the sort order or publish date from (for example) this List of Chronicles would be more useful in my opinion.
- The List of Chronicles above also contains 13 chronicles (item 216 to 228 representing the years 2012 to 2014) that are missing in the new portal (they were also missing on the old eve-o chronicle page). It would be nice to add them again to the library.
- In many chronicles formatting details got lost during the migration from the old to the new site. For example: In Sunset Yonis' little four-line poem has become a one-liner, or Jeanelle's letter at the very end of the same chronicle is a single text block now. The same for example with the Ior Labron quote at the beginning of Anoikis or the Apocryphon quote in Testament: all line breaks have disappeared there.
Font attributes (italic, bold, etc.) are often missing, for example in Vitrauze Project: "This time, there was no life in Hilen's eyes, and it was telling her to go." The rather important italic emphasis is only on the old chronicle page, not on the new one. Same chronicle: The paragraph beginning with "Lianda. I must warn you..." doesn't have the italic attribute on the new page. Or, all the bold and italic attributes in Present Pieces are gone. In Anoikis one sentence ("Had she not realized yet?...") moved into a strange blockquote-tag. Etc., etc.
All the chronicles look migrated by some script or conversion program, obviously, which was... well, not perfect.
- Tag attribution feels very rudimentary at the moment. For example we got only six chronicles under the "Minmatar" tag. For sure, there are way more.
- Really a huge amount of 404 errors, as already mentioned by others.

It is great to see this back and I appreciate the effort.
However I hope that you can sit together with the web-team to improve the layout and presentation.
At this time it is a painfully long scroll through some categories, and the entries are not organised in a recognizable way. It would be good to be able to see on any given page which entries are available with a table of contents. An alphabetical order of chronicles and entries would also help a lot to find things.
Many pages still miss links and the "see also" section they used to have.
More text based listings and less screen space used for images would also help, particularly on "category" pages like the race entry pages.
I like that it is now working better on mobile, but especially on that platform the long scrolling is very problematic especially since you never know for how long you will have to scroll due to the lack of ordering.
Oh yes and indeed many links are broken (404)
I understand this is still in it's teething phase, but I sincerely hope you will find the time and resources to make this as good as it deserves to be.
Thank you for your efforts.

Nice that (most of) the fiction is back, though in some sort of weird tablet/smart phone friendly design that's a bunch of wasted space and scrolling on a desktop screen. Hey, it's sorta back, better than it staying lost from official CCP web pages! More of my Eve themed reading material is back in reach, w00t!
So... when does the next section of the DXed EveWiki make it's return? Which part?

I know how chaotic teamwork can be and people get realocated all the time for different things, however, could you guys please take a look at the suggestions and feedback provided and fix the mentioned stuff on the site? We-¦re still a few chronicles short and not organized, several 404 errors and the layout on different devices is kinda funky.

By the way, in the Backstory area of the Community website is also the Fiction section. The stories there are mostly available as chronicles as well, so there is no need to migrate those to the new Fiction portal. However, there are two exceptions: The stories
are only in this section and not copied as chronicles. Maybe we could consider to add them to the new portal, just as two additional chronicles instead of opening a new section for those two stories only?
Just to mention another minor point, at least: The other stories in the Fiction section might be slightly newer than the corresponding chronicles. I don't know if that's true for all stories there but I know for sure that the Jita 4-4 version in the Fiction section contains a bunch of corrections in punctuation and a few modified sentences compared to the Jita 4-4 version in the Chronicle section. The Fiction version includes two additional artwork images, too. I would probably replace the chronicles in the new portal by the fiction versions.
And I agree with Morgana, some reply from Devs or ISDs would be nice if the feedback provided here is read and considered at all. Right now it feels like simply nothing has happened since the launch of the portal months ago. Perhaps a status update on the Lore Discussions subforum of the new forum? Thank you!
