Devs Discuss Fleet Fights, Asteroids, Wormholes

As you know, Apocrypha, the 10th expansion for EVE Online, will be released March 10 in conjunction with the game's first retail box. As Tuesday quickly approaches, CCP, which just won awards for innovation, has been busy releasing all sorts of information surrounding Apocrypha, as well as asking players for help with testing.

  • Fleet fight tests will be held on the Singularity test server starting tonight. Visit this thread to find out how to participate. The dev team would like to have 400+ pilots involved in the mayhem.
  • Asteroids will be getting a graphical facelift to help players tell which types of Ore lie within simply through the look of the rock. This dev blog has all the details.
  • CCP Abuther has discussed wormholes at length in his blog: "in W-space you will see things you've never seen in EVE before.  Black Holes, Pulsars and Red Giants are just some of these wonders." This new system will bring exploration to an entirely new level in EVE.

It will be interesting to see how having the game in brick and mortar stores will affect the game population. It's been on a steady rise ever since release, recently with over 50,000 players online at once and 48K not uncommon during weekends, now.
