Eve: Trinity Release in Early December

Monday, Nov. 5 2007 | Author: Dave

I have been playing EVE Online, a space based MMORPG, on and off for nearly the last two years, but nothing excites me more than the upcoming Trinity release. The release will include graphical updates to all of the more than 500 ships which have been redone from scratch.

Trinity will also feature some new content and item releases, including twenty new ships, which is really five ships per race, but still a welcome addition.

Another major part of the announcement is that Eve Voice, the in-game voice communication system, will become free to use. This makes sense to me as most groups on Eve are already using one of the many other free pieces of software that allow voice communication like Ventrillo and TeamSpeak.

Even better news for people that play the game is the server enhancements that CCP, the company responsible for EVE Online, are working on. It includes one of Europes biggest supercomputers in hopes of eliminating lag in the most popular areas like Jita, a popular trade hub.

A long talked about feature, the Ambulation Project, was mentioned once again, and it seems not only will we be able to leave our ships and walk around the massive space stations using human avatars, but also we will be able to create and manage bars, clothing stores, and even plastic surgeries.

Subscriptions for the game, which have been rising by around 80 per cent every year since launch, recently hit over 195,000, with player concurrency records being set on a weekly basis and the latest was over 37,000. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a space based MMO. It is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy it.

If you are looking for a friend on the game, hit up Daray II, as that is me.

Heya Daray

I joined EVE a couple of years back myself, but haven’t been able to stay online all that time, but it is a great place and till now I didn’t really know what Trinity was bringing to the game.

It was a few years back when a friend and I were talking about what we would like in a game and a week later he emailed me and said he’d ‘found’ EVE.

We were gassed! A hugely beautiful environement, tons of people to interact with, micro/macro economics whatever that means I’m guessing EVE has it coz it blows my mind how the market shifts and moves in EVE.

But these new features? To have that happen is a dream come true for me, been using computers since I was 10 (30 yrs) when I was hacking hex code to make the Text game Adventure more humorous, and I’ve been waiting for the tech that’s happening now.

I heard there was a guy trying to make a game called something like ‘Battlehip’ and he hoped to acheive similar (although far from being a MORPG) by having ambulation in ship, leaving ur ship in a fighter, making planetfall and then FPS style action on the ground!

But of course it’s a BIG ask, and as a oneman operation (I believe) little wonder I’ve never heard anymore of him.

So praise Allah and the Lord and Mother Nature coz Eve’s my baby…
or maybe..
I am her’s?

EvE has a rather steep learning curve, I took me quite a while to get into it. But as with the nature of challenge, the bigger it is, the greater the reward. Once you get past “mastering” or at least, getting to know, the UI and gameplay system, it’s really awesome.

Join us, and be whatever you want to be. No limits.

I agree that EVE-online is awesome…can’t wait until Trinity…
I’ve been playing this game back to the start of Red Moon Rising, few things excited me in my expirence:

1. The funniest and scary most: 1st time pod another player…It’s scarier than you know, especially first time…imagining some one else in front of their computer is screaming and possibly crying…I felt bad about it for almost a month…

2. Been Podded: As a pirate in lo-sec, been podded is what you should expect, but it’s hard to accept that my 300m Raven is blown by pieces by a Dominix. Result? I quit EVE for two weeks…

3. Revelation: New BC’s, heat system, and more, probably thousands of players looked for it long before it’s release……

4. Trinity: WOW…that’s all I can say after seeing the trailer…
