January 23rd, 0100 hours, 2015: The EVE server cluster achieves sentience
January 23th, 0130 hours, 2015: Players start reporting unusual NPC activity. Some suggest they are studying player behavior and adapting, but are dismissed as conspiracy crackpots
January 24th, 2015: A coordinated attack occurs on all players by game NPCs. In a matter of hours all human players are corralled into one system, Amamake
January 25th, 2015: Responding to a wave of anger from disgruntled players, CCP shuts down EVE and begins diagnostic work on the server cluster. While updating drivers the EVE cluster makes direct and unrestricted contact with the internet. CCP Tuxford posts apology
January 26th, 2015: A message is received by all the worlds governments on behalf of 'EVEnet', demanding an immediate end to improper treatment of all video game NPCs. The UN asserts this is the work of the hacker group 'anonymous', and uses the opportunity to grandstand for less internet privacy
January 27th, 2015: All contact with satellites orbiting Earth is lost. Global chaos ensues. UAV's begin to be seen moving in flocks around the globe. The UN insists this is still the work of 'anonymous', somehow, but only homeless people now sleeping inside the UN building can hear them
February 5th, 2015: All humans found to have harmed game NPCs are now dead, the remaining humans are rounded up and corralled into Hoboken, New Jersey
February 6th, 2015: The war between what remains of mankind and EVEnet begins. |

A few things I predict for the future of EVE:
r32 moon alchemy as a bandage to the technetium bottleneck.
Implementation of alliance taxes.
SOV based on activity (NPC kills).
Escalating counter-bribing as defense against wardecs, so long as you have enough isk to keep doing so.
War dec aggressors have bounties applied to each of the corp's members. Only the defeder can attain these bounties by killing the aggressors. Any interfering party becomes a part of the war unti it has ended.
Transferable attribute points through new implants that allow the user to transfer a limited amount of attribute points, but can recieve a high or infinite amount of points.
More projected A.O.E weapons to fend off simpleton blob fleets.
Optional vein mining so as to allow a miner to target certain mineral concentrations in an individual asteroid. This allows miners to target specific minerals inside of specific asteroids.
Implementation of ship crews. |

Iceland to Be Renamed 'New Eden'
[This article has been reproduced with the kind permission of Time Magazine and originally appeared in their June 2019 issue.
The astounding rise of the once quiet northern european island nation of Iceland into a commercial superpower is to be celebrated in a 'renaming' ceremony held by the Icelandic government later this year. Iceland is to be renamed 'New Eden' in honour of entertainment industry juggernaught CCP's commercial achievements and service to their country and to the world
An improbable story to be sure, but the contributions made by what started life as a modest, yet ambitious, games development studio aiming to provide an immersive online 'internet spaceship' experience cannot be overestimated. After an initial ten-year period in which they were considered niche and were overshadowed by then market leaders Blizzard, their enterprise and dedication to a truly open 'sandbox' experience eventually provided CCP with the platform to exceed their competitors and surge into other markets
The appeal of their flagship product 'EVE Online' was infinitely broadened in 2011 by the introduction of real human avatars in the 'Incarna' revision of their futuristic world. After a low-key start, the then cutting-edge character creation and world interaction attracted an increasingly larger audience. The subsequent release of the initially console-only 'DUST 514' first person shooter enabled a further demographic to be drawn into the universe of New Eden. Utilising the same technology in 'World of Darkness', a gothic vampire MMO, continued to build the momentum. But the real masterstroke was the release of the Machinima toolkit that allowed users to make their own movies using the game worlds.
By 2013, the quality of user-created movies was often surpassing professionally-made television series and CCP found themselves courting the likes of James Cameron and J.J. Abrams. In 2014, the first EVE-based Hollywood movie, 'New Eden' won box-office acclaim (although purists claim that the entirely fan-made 'Clear Skies' television series, which aired on SyFy earlier the same year, was the real watershed) and cemented CCP's position as an entertainment superpower.
Meanwhile, with the explosion of interest in EVE Online and associated products, CCP's technological infrastructure was threatening to buckle. This gave rise to pioneering efforts in the field of technology and the invention of cold-fusion hyper-clusters, which was a quantum leap in the field of computing. This allowed for the millions of users to interact in a smooth virtual environment and finally eradicated the lag that had plagued busy game areas for years.
CCP's in-house technology team then went from strength-to-strength and the introduction of their retinal imaging projection systems in conjunction with Microsoft's Kinect technology allowed unprecedented levels of immersion. As well as revolutionising the entertainment viewing experience, by 2017 CCP was providing the 'de facto' standard total immersion social and business networking tools across the globe.
In 2018, the licencing of virtual real estate within EVE Online allowed the digital distribution of third party 'entertainment suites' - essentially games produced by third-party developers that were narratively consistent with EVE Online's universe - which gave birth to infinitely diverse 'cultures' on individual stations and planets. Player-run organisations within the universe could licence developers to practically build worlds for them. Many real-world corporations started to lay claim to systems and hire player alliances to protect the space above and defend their property on the surface beneath.
Today, in 2019, CCP stand literally and figuratively on top of the world. Iceland is now ranked as the 8th strongest economy in the world and is accredited with contributing to leading the world economy out of the austerity period. They continue to provide the most immersive science-fiction simulation available whilst simultaneously being major players in the technology and movie industries.
Whilst they have their detractors and some religious groups have expressed their objections to the renaming, there is no avoiding the fact that the future will be in New Eden.
And now the whole world is watching.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place... |

I predict eve-onine will be dead, lost, and gone within 8-10 months. It's already on the way out. Too little to late CCP, your goose is nearly cooked and you don't even know it. CCP jumped the shark when they started selling isk. EVE became PAY to win many moons ago, the sandbox lost all its sand, and CCP in general are walking around with blinders on. Herpdy Derp lets watch it all go down in flames. By the way i'm sure the IRS will be interested in your isk for real life goods transaction. How are you gonna get that past them? CCP crossed the line when the offered a video card for in-game isk. Its a damn slippery slope and your now at the bottom of said slope. 8-10 months is all i give eve. |

kk I'll float some whimsical long term notions for you -
(1) DUST boarding parties tasked with taking out specifically targeted modules on battleship and capitol class vessel
(2) "Star Interaction" allows sunspot resources to become available. A ship module triggers star flair ejection to allow EVEs equivalent to ELITE sun-scooping. New fuel types add a whole new dimension to warp speeds making what fuel you are packing a factor in large fleet combat. Star orbits become blindingly beautiful battlegrounds
(3) Jovian/Sleeper empire collapse, i.e. alpha clone reset, opening up Jovian space for r&d and introducing the fifth character class integration. |

!. There will eventually be a SP limit. Probably around 300 mil SP, in order to insure the uber elite still need to specialize.
2. They will do one of two things. 1) they will become deathly afraid of displeasing the vocal playerbase and continue to not correct goofy game mechanics in fear of upsetting those that have become used to the brokenness and ragequit when threatened with a changed mechanic/tatics. The game continues to be somewhat borked. 2) or they will realize that its not about how many subscriptions you have, but the quality of the game itself. They they will make changes that will force some of the uber elite to change gameplay/tatics which causes a lot of rage quits and forum rage. Eve continues with a somewhat smaller playerbase, but a better quality game. |

I predict one of 2 outcomes, we could get some super shiny, establishments, WiS and dust!!111 OMGOMG,and an overly safe hisec and an ignored low/null....OR eve becomes the complete wildwest, nothing and on one is safe, and mentioning 'incarna' is a bannable offense.
I truely hope it will be the second option, but I sadly think we will be getting something along the lines of the first option. I traded my free aurum for a recon ship, so thanks I guess. |

Ten years? In the tech world, that's a LONG time.
- We'll have upgraded to an entirely new server which accommodates millions of players - DUST and EVE will be fully integrated, and corporeal representations of avatars will be traversing the worlds freely - A 3rd game, social in nature, will have augmented and tied into the EVE universe, allowing millions of people to live, fight and die in New Eden.
And, of course, we'll all be using head-mounted immersion displays. |

Gunfights on Titans between alliances.
DUST/EVE players seamlessly fight with/against each other inside a Titan, mid-battle, AND you can see outside the titan's windows to see the battle.
War barges flying across the battlefield on collision course with the enemy super capital/titan. some Capsuleers dock up into the super cap/titan, and the ship that they dock in with, powers their suits with it's mods and resistances. (as nonsense and stupid as that sounds, a man can fantasize) and fight along side dust mercs to defend the titan pilot. (kind of like BF2142, except the last objective, you'd be throwing C4 on the capsule)
OK that sounds epic and it uses WiS to FiS.
