tl;dr - we at the web team still neither play EVE, nor use the websites. You still won't be able to use the websites from within the igb, and all the useful tools of the website will be even further buried behind layers and layers of marketing and advertising. That is all. |

Wow! I really love what you're doing with the main website. I think it's a huge improvement over the current one. New and potential players will surely find it much more enticing than what is currently available. I can't wait to see it when it goes live next week. Kudos!

I think you have a good point. Maybe in addition to including these awesome new playstyle screens, you can also include a page with a CCP version of the (player made?) "what to do in Eve" chart? I don't have the link, but I'm sure someone here can provide it. "The world as we know it came about through an anomaly (anomou)" (The Gospel of Philip, 1-5)-á |

Want to know what would be great, and really useful? A common login across all websites. I am tired of logging into the forums just to have to re-log into secure.eveonline.com or some other part of the site that requires me to log on. As a web developer myself I find it absolutely MIND BOGGLING that EVEs websites are so segregated like that. |

It is just a free trial ad I believe... a slightly misleading one, but hey... marketing...

^this with timeline please
Also I want to point devs on the problem with "DIN Condensed" font (if they plan to use it on new site) and cyrillic characters. Example: fonts on http://trial.eveonline.com/ru/eveisreal.aspx are horrible. Text in [H2] and [p] tags is broken. Please make sure things like this wont appear on localized pages. |

QFT
Also wanted to add, assuming you keep the "playstyle" page, I hope in the finished product the images/videos would be relevant to the playstyle described (e.g. the pictures for the pirate show tacklers and things getting shot at/blown up).
Just in the interest of making the page more cohesive. |

So this is definitely a step in the right direction, but I truly hope that there's an emphasis placed on consolidating information about game play. I used to play Eve quite often between '07 and '10, but life got busy and now I just maintain my character skill queues. This year, I'd love to get back to playing, but it's intimidating to do so with all of the new additions and modifications to the game features I had grown used to.
How awesome would it be if there was ONE reference I could use to relearn HOW to play Eve? How awesome would it be if part of the patching process involved the folks at CCP updating this single information source to reflect all of the new features? Am I way off here? Has this already been addressed in my hiatus from the game? Or am I going to have to read all of the previous patch notes to get up to date on things? I think that maybe having an internal team whose sole purpose in life was to maintain something along the lines of http://www.isktheguide.com/ would probably be one of the single most valuable things that could be done to entice me back into pew-pew sooner than later.
This is from the perspective of a casual Eve player who would prefer spending my time in space blowing things up that sifting through the Support pages, Evelopedia, Eve Gate, and Eve Community sites, and would like something more specific and definitive than an in-game tutorial. I just don't have the time and patience for that.
Having said all that, I love where the game is going and the new focus at CCP, and I can't wait to get back into my pod regularly.

Yep these are good points and something I feel aware of as well. It's much appreciated to get this kind of feedback on it too, so thank you both. It's a balance between getting across that you can define your own path/gameplay style and that this can change (or be a mix) like you say, and also being able to give people an insight into what that means through showing them tangible examples.

Excellent work !
Haven't had time to check, but does ingame browser be able to dipslay the 3D gallery ? Theoretically I should think so. Either way HTML 5 is the way to go.
Pro tip : Make the first screenshot you see something a little more visually appealing than the market data display I know we play Spreadsheets Online be you're only supposed to discover that AFTER you've been hooked FIRE FRIENDSHIP TORPEDOES ! |

As long as the wording is kept to "if you want to be a pirate, here's how that might work," (i.e. actually highlighting that it's playstyle and not a job system) the playstyle pages should be fine, and that sort of thing always seems to be a great way to get people interested.
How are you guys handling IE-compatability with the HTML5 stuff? Glad to hear it isn't going to be a flashmonster though! |

CCP Alice wrote: Interactive star map with different view states where you learn about features of the universe
Based off the image you provided, I don't think this is interesting enough for potential new players because it gives you no reference, just a bunch of dots. Include region names. If you really want to make it interesting, show sovereignty complete with logos. You're probably going to tell me that that is a toggle but I think being able to overlay ship kills over sovereignty is much more interesting.
CCP Alice wrote: Interactive 3D spaceship gallery showing a selection of spaceships ranging from capsule to titan
This is awesome! However, why only some ships and why only angels pirate faction. I can understand maybe not putting the jove but at least add the sleepers, something a curious player could actually seek out in the game if they started playing. I also second the comment about adding crew and maybe lore description.
CCP Alice wrote: Popular gameplay styles like Pirate, Explorer, Fleet Commander, etc. represented as career paths
This is cool. I second what others have said about being careful for it not to appear as if you have to be one of those roles.
CCP Alice wrote: A short Personality Analysis quiz to help you determine what career paths may suit you Revised versions of popular EVE Chronicles downloadable in eBook format
These are both made of win, especially the test.
CCP Alice wrote: Screenshots showcasing all aspects of in-game visuals
Please keep it up to date! Also, I think wallpapers can be interesting for non-players when they are so gorgeous they work if you just love sci-fi. The most recent set from Crucible are fantastic.
Overall very exciting! |

only thing I would say is that "pirates" dont really use the word 'plunder' pirates in eve are real dark minded people who say things like "loot their ****"
Try use terms that put across the fact that Eve is full of real, human players who can be cruel or kind. Not fictional characters from famous holywood pirate movies |

I hope that the information on the game is presented in a "serious" way. To be more precise: I don't like the image I saw with a guy that say "I AM awesome I'm a pirate look at my muscles and tattoos I came from APB"; I would prefer a more "aura like" presentation of the game, cold, cute, reasoned.
The EVE website should tell you about EVE more like a tough woman you have a reverential awe, than a stupid guy with a camo undershirt that seems to come from APB. 'Woman' is the key, not 'guy', *******! Capsuleers are lords, not gangsta.
Moreover, presenting a game made by spaceships with an avatar like that is sort of a lie. |

I would recommend not putting anything in there that is not also in the game. For example your "pirate" has tattoos on the arms, something we cannot get in-game. CCP employees should never proclaim a feature to be awesome. Only subscribers should. Subscribers can never answer a question posed to CCP. Only CCP can. |
