EVE is actually an acronym. It stands for End Violent Encounters
Basically CCP has a dream of a universe where everyone in the universe gets together and puts an end to violence. Obviously it's still a work in progress...

Actually, the constellation that the EVE Gate (collapsed wormhole through which humans arrived in New Eden) arrived through is called "EVE", capitalized like that. Lorewise the name comes from some weird inscriptions or something that the Amarr found when recolonizing Genesis or something.

For some reason long ago I always saw it typed out as "EvE" so I started doing it that way too. I think it had something to do with how it looked prior to the logo change several years back.
What I want to know is how you do "GëívGëí" without copy and pasting it from someone else? I assume ASCII is used for the "Gëí" but which ASCII code is it?

Not sure why it's capitalized but I've always wonder what the name means... I always figured it was some biblical thing, especially with the universe being called 'New Eden'. Add to this the beginning cinematic that says we're immortal demigods and I came to the conclusion that it was alluding to the fact that all the races are at a stage where we are essentially the same as Adam and Eve, but still have sin. So we're free to do as we wish, just like how Adam and Eve could do what they wished in the Garden of Eden. |
