EVE Online: Quantum Rise Multiplies MMO Power
CCP breaks barriers in free expansion slated for release this winter
Reykjavik, Iceland, October 15, 2008 - CCP, one of the world's leading independent game developers, today announced the launch of the ninth free expansion for EVE Online, its popular science fiction massively multi-player online game (MMOG). EVE Online: Quantum Rise offers limitless opportunity to the talented starship pilots of New Eden as the roots of conflict spread deep for their lifeblood.
Players have great things to look forward to in EVE Online: Quantum Rise. Corporations will be able to set their products apart from the rest by building trust in their goods through customizable storefronts. The backbone of EVE's vibrant economy, industrial ships are being rebalanced and optimized to better suit the needs of haulers and industrialists-including the latest edition to the fleet, a massive capital industrial ship dubbed the Orca. A new certificate system will give a quick and verifiable means to discern a pilot's skill level in trading, gunnery or countless other professions, providing plenty of bragging rights. Meanwhile, the introduction of a medal system allows corporations to distinguish their most valued pilots and honor them for their achievements.
The staged delivery of EVE Online: Quantum Rise began with the recent implementation of technological breakthroughs such as StacklessIO and EVE64 which upgraded the server hardware and streamlined communication between server and client to severely reduce lag. The reality of thousands of ships simultaneously engaged in adrenaline-charged combat is at hand and several fleet battles have already been fought using this new technology. Emboldened by the significant effects these improvements bring to high-level gameplay, CCP will push forward with a myriad of hardware and server improvements to bring the most massive player vs player experience available, expanding a boundless universe into a limitless one.
"We are very proud to be delivering this expansion, both in terms of features and the sheer performance increases made possible by deep refactoring of selected portions of our network and server code, complimented with the finest hardware we could find," says Torfi Frans +lafsson, Senior Producer of EVE Online. "I can't imagine a better game where you can engage hundreds of people simultaneously in highly immersive tactical combat or simply sit back and make millions off of the conflict via research, manufacturing or logistics. You choose your destiny; that's the beauty of it."
Further features also include:
* Weapon linking to make your onslaught easier
* Continuations of the massive Trinity graphics update
* Changes to autopilot routes and avoidance techniques
* More to be revealed in the coming weeks
A full list of features will be available soon at www.eveonline.com.
Availability:
EVE Online: Quantum Rise will be available for subscribers as a free download at www.eveonline.com/download. Non-subscribers should visit the EVE website to sign up for a free 14-day trial account.

Medals, certificates, and autopilot "avoid" routes all constitute an expansion? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just... Expansion? Content patch, sure. But if this were other MMOs and someone tried charging for that I'd laugh.

Presumably*, there's more stuff they haven't announced yet, as it says right here:

To blow up, that is.... I can't wait for an enemy corp to autopilot one around into jita when we're warring them, so we can promptly exterminate it.

Eve Online: Quantum Rise
"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Wrangler stepped into the Quantum Rise accelerator and vanished .... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing forum posts that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Fallout, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Wrangler can see and hear. And so Wrangler finds himself leaping from thread to thread, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next thread will be the leap home."

Nah, it's a marketing thing, they'll probably wait to release a lot of newer details at fanfest and so forth

Which is why CCP doesn't. also i don't like the empyrean age login in screen graphics nearly as muc has trinity so i hope they get a good one with the new expansion. |

Well, call me a skeptic, but an announcement like that seems like CCP is just trying to save face after the "Ghost Training" fiasco.

Not entirely fair to say that. It makes it sound like the reason their expansions are free is because they add little to the game. However, the past few have added significant changes. Faction Warfare, Trinity, etc.

Is it just me or does this completly sound strange? The avoidance system as well as Stackless I/O and EVE 64 is already deployed (more or less at least, in case for EVE 64), and from the acutal Sisi status we can expect at least medals and certificates for the (hopefully?) upcoming EA 1.2 patch. Weapon Linking as well as store front and the Speed Balance/Nerf stuff is already in Sisi as well, so it's not too farfetched to believe they might be part of 1.2 as well - so what is left for this mysterious addon named EVE: Quantum Rise?
Doesn't make much sense in my humble opinion.
Edit: We also got some CCP respone a while back, saying that no new graphics content would make it into this years winter expansion...not that i wouldn't like it to be proofed wrong.

Also, to continue the name hilarity, being as 'quantum' generally means 'a <relatively small> discrete package of stuff', I think we can safely assume that the name of this expansion is an obfuscated way of saying "A marginal increase"

Whether the changes are significant or not depends on your point of view. For example, Empyrean Age brought a lot less content that I'm interested in than this new expansion will.
Join New Eden Research today and never worry about queues again!

Nice, about time to be honest. Without Industry EVE's ship popping PVP would end so quickly.
