EVE is a massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) set in a science-fiction based, persistent world. Players take the role of spaceship pilots seeking fame, fortune, and adventure in a huge, complex, exciting, and sometimes hostile galaxy.

EVE Online is a unique MMOG on the market, most of the features in it, are by far superior to what most MMOGs have to offer, while running on a single server sustaining over 30.000 people, last time I saw online around 35.000.

Most of the Massive Multiplayer Online Games out there have a spawn life, that last around from 3 to 5 years, and from that, most of subscribers leave to try something new, because the game show his age on graphics, content, and population is getting low. Most of the developers don’t prevent this, and it is in their plan when they launch the game.

On the other side CCP Games released EVE Online in 2003, and during the years the game received more content, players increased to whooping 35.000 players at the same time on a single server and over 200k subscriptions, the game evolved in any category, instead of going down. This happened because the Developers provide expansion pack every year, graphics updates, optimization, and because how the game was made, this game will stay for another 10 years, if they want to take care of it.

This year CCP released material with the upcoming graphic update to the engine, which will boost the game at the current graphics standards on the market. The old client will still be available for those that don’t have “horsepower” in their PCs

Check the movie below with a comparison between the old models and the new models that twill be introduce this fall, or next year first quarter, will see:P
 

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

 

And also the screenshots below show the new models in action.

 

Next year, on the next update, the developers plan to add a new expansion, we know it as "Walking in Stations", where the players will able to interact with the other players docked in a station, with their human avatars, being able to own shops, plan meetings, relax at the bars and other features that we have yet to know, EVE will become even larger.

Being one of few “out of the box’ MMOGs out there, EVE Online still holds a great position on the market, and with the general improvements we see every year, i must say EVE will be here on top 10 games for a long time.

Good job CCP Games!
