I have noticed that news about Players, Corps, and Alliances seems to be showing up less in favor of news about NPC happenings and upcoming game additions. But who really cares if some fictional character, in a fictional corp, does some fictional act, that only affects other fictional characters/corp/whatever?
What about us REAL people doing REAL things in EVE? We are ultimatley shaping the EVE universe yet we seem to get very little attention or credit for our accomlishments. Wars and large fleet battles or even huge mining and production efforts are going unnoticed to the rest of eve players.
There are some very interesting powerplays, epic battles, plans within plans, plots, espionage, capital showdowns, financial moguls and alot more that takes place in EVE that would interest the players (who are the ones who read the news btw) much more than all of this fictional NPC stuff.
I think the eve reporters need to get more in-touch with the players and what they are doing instead of making up stories that no one cares about. The only news we get is on the forums and is hardly accurate or from an unbias source.

there has been a lot of this go to the player news channel to your left.
A lot of it might "seem" like RP news but it's really about the players.
like the blood raider tournment, and the article about documenting the many historical places in eve.
Go to the bottom and look at the alliance news section.

Also there is an ISD that reports news, you can report your own stories whenever you want.
in fact it's the players job to tell the playerbase what the players are doing :)
remember that story about the 9 man corp making an outpost?

Well I'm talking about stuff like this...
Federation President Affirms IshukoneÆs Account of Event, Denies Complicity in Malkalen Attack
Theology Council announces official day of mourning for Malkalen victims
Planned Protest Fails in Wake of Malkalen Disaster
When for instance our alliance, along with Smash, Atlas, and FIX just killed a Goonswarm Titan in an epic battle. Yet where is that even metioned? I'm sure there are alot more important news items that other players want to know but only find out from forum rants or rumors. These battles and such are stories going on daily but EVE reporters are too busy writing fiction.

Its setting the scene for the emporium age expansion and imo i like the way they do it.
If you want your ubar titan kill to be reported why dont you write a story about the epic battle and post in caod .. oh wait you did already.
Uber idea solves all !! |

Fictional stories have no place under the heading of news. If you want fiction, go buy a comic book (seems about your speed). But for those of us who are over 12 years old, news means current events that impact the REAL world. All the fictional crap ment to promote some up coming expansion is just a commercial for kiddies who can't comprehend more than the free prize at the bottom of a cereal box.

Because things like backstory and making the game seem a bit more like an actual world are completely and totally lame and have no place in any game whatsoever. No MMO should cater to anyone besides the people that just like to blow crap up and inflate their egos for it.

There's actually more player news at the moment than there used to be.
It's just that there's also a lot more background news as well.
There was a time when we'd go months without any news at all. Thankfully, those days seem to be over.

I was on the news recently about my attempt to organize a protest for peace before the Malkalen disaster occurred. You just have to do something relevant to the current situation and you'll have a chance to get interviewed.
