“New Eden” will change community interaction in MMOs. LoTRO had their version, but EVE’s is set to take it to the next level. Interaction with game functions outside the game will bring a new level of connectivity to both a player’s character, and the community with each other. It will give a more hands-on feel to the offline aspect of EVE so thoroughly critiqued by its expositors.

This will give me a deeper sense of connection to my character. Managing aspects of my character outside the game allows for much closer speculation at how to build my character and play the game. The most enjoyable aspect of some of my past online games was talking with the people I met there. Too many companies neglect the friendship and camaraderie between the people who play their game. “New Eden” intends to nurture that bond and strengthen it.

When Dust 514 comes, the communities will be able to communicate and interact in ways never before imagined in MMOs, and “New Eden” will only make it easier for the players of both games to become involved in the same wars, stories, and politics. “New Eden” is an innovation I can’t wait to experience.

@Satn - As Ichamur said, you obviously have not played the game. CCP are innovators. Whatever 'reports' (ie; made up) of lag and system crashes you heard, must either not exist or were quite some time ago. For the average user in EVE, lag is virtually nonexistent. For those involved in 0.0 with 500-1000+ person fleet battles, then yes there will be some lag. I would like to see any other game allow for the gathering of that many people in one area, and NOT lag. As it is, EVE has had over 51k+ users online at one time with stability. Hell, last time I was in Jita during prime time hours I was able to move about with ZERO lag.

Now as someone who has never played EVE, I wouldn't expect you to understand Dust's interaction with EVE (they will affect one another, and take place in the same universe). Nor would I expect you to understand the dedication and CONSTANT improvement CCP puts into EVE.

Won't be able to hold a candle to Dust 514. SOE can't even compare to the minds at CCP.
