However, we still believe in the vision to bring your characters fully into the world of EVE, it will simply take longer than we expected at first. To achieve that, avatars need to be making a meaningful contribution to the EVE universe. So we put one team on a "slow burn" addressing those issues. There are other core duties as well, like UI fixes and things that take priority, such as outstanding defects on Tranquility.<br /> Team Avatar is responsible for http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?193-Introducing-Team-Avatar-the-keymasters-of-bipedal-gameplay http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?193-Introducing-Team-Avatar-the-keymasters-of-bipedal-gameplay Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:43:00 -0600 Guild Wars 2 beta sign-up page open for 48 hours ArenaNet invites gamers to submit an application for upcoming trial for new massively multiplayer online role-playing game; sign-up page closes Friday. <br /> <img src="http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2003/all/boxshots2/938738_85836.jpg" border="0" alt="" />*<br /> Gamers interested in trying out ArenaNet's massively multiplayer online role-playing game Guild Wars 2 can apply to join the March-dated beta today, the developer has announced. <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/index.php?single=1&path=2012%2F52%2Fguildwars2 2_46231_screen.jpg&caption=Gamers%2Bcan%2Bsign %2Bup%2Bfor%2Bthe%2Bbeta%2Bnow%2Band%2Bcross%2Bthe ir%2Bfingers%2Babout%2Bgetting%2Bin.&blog=1&am p;cvr=kOu1" http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?192-Guild-Wars-2-beta-sign-up-page-open-for-48-hours http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?192-Guild-Wars-2-beta-sign-up-page-open-for-48-hours Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:43:00 -0600 Backwards then forwards <i>“The future influences the present just as much as the past.”</i><br /> -Friedrich Nietzsche<br /> Hello again everyone. It’s time to to look back at the last few months and then take a quick peak into the near future for the pilots of EVE Online. Last November’s release of Crucible was a key moment for us. Not only did it herald a shift in focus in what types of releases we were going to deliver to you, it also coincided with significant changes in how we, CCP, go about making the game we all love. There is plenty of detail about all of this in this dev Blog from CCP Zulu and in the December CSM minutes. In short, we are focusing the majority of our efforts on the “core” game of EVE http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?191-Backwards-then-forwards http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?191-Backwards-then-forwards Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:44:00 -0600 Aion free-to-play update dropping this spring NCsoft reveals free-to-play overhaul of MMO arriving in the coming months as Aion: Ascension as part of 3.0 content update. <br /> NCsoft's massively multiplayer online game Aion adopted a free-to-play business model in Europe <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/aion-goes-free-to-play-in-february-6347586" target="_blank">just this month</a>, and soon, North American gamers will have access to a free version of the title. <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/index.php?single=1&path=2009%2F259%2FAion_7399 8_screen.jpg&caption=Aion%2Bflips%2Bthe%2Bswit ch%2Bto%2BF2P%2Bthis%2Bspring.&blog=1&cvr= gV2%2F" target="_blank"> http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?190-Aion-free-to-play-update-dropping-this-spring http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?190-Aion-free-to-play-update-dropping-this-spring Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:43:00 -0600 In development: Redesigning the EVE Rookie Ships Most of us still remember our first time in EVE and that special feeling of piloting our very first ship. We didn't have the comparison to the infinitely more powerful vessels we would soon command so to our fresh and unspoiled minds we were the king of the stars for a little while and the rookie ships were our chariots of destruction. At least until we met Tank CEO at a gate and were &bdquo;gently“ removed from the throne.<br /> Apart from the obvious fact that the Impairor, the Velator, the Ibis and the Reaper hold great importance being the first ships any new pilot is granted upon being born into the EVE Universe, they hold a special place in all our hearts.<br /> The rookie ships are being re-designed and given a long overdue makeover.

There are still many things to do and we’re looking to further improve the way new capsuleers learn about EVE and its many possibilities. As a part of the refocus on the basics of EVE, a new team has been put together to tackle this important task, consisting of CCP NerfHerder, CCP Feyhr, CCP Dropbear and CCP Legion (the undersigned) and we would like to hear your feedback regarding the new player experience.<br /> EVE is a very unique game and it enables players to have a lot of fun even if they have never touched some game mechanics. We want to give new players the best possible experience from the very beginning and lay the groundwork for an http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?187-The-ease-of-EVE http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?187-The-ease-of-EVE Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:19:00 -0600 Star Wars: TOR hitting Australia, Asia on March 1 EA confirms Australian release date for BioWare's upcoming sci-fi MMORPG; free character transfer to Asia Pacific servers for local players. <br /> <img src="http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2003/all/boxshots2/951199_122229.jpg" border="0" alt="" />*<br /> EA Australia today confirmed BioWare's much-anticipated Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released in Australia on March 1.<br /> <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/index.php?single=1&path=2008%2F294%2Foldrepubl ic196_screen.jpg&caption=The%2BForce%2Bhas%2Bb een%2Bstrong%2Bwith%2BThe%2BOld%2BRepublic.&bl og=1&cvr=oAP%2F" target="_blank"> http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?186-Star-Wars-TOR-hitting-Australia-Asia-on-March-1 http://www.pdcm.net/content.php?186-Star-Wars-TOR-hitting-Australia-Asia-on-March-1
