With only a few weeks to go until the launch of <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/dominion/"><em>Dominion</em></a>, the <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/"><em>EVE Online</em></a> team has got to be pretty busy. <a href="http://www.crazykinux.com/2009/11/npe-in-dominion-ccp-eris-discordia.html">CrazyKinux</a> was lucky enough to get a bit of time with Game Designer <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=author&amp;p=CCP%20Eris%20Discordia">Eris Discordia</a> to talk about the details of the <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/New_Player_Experience#New_Player_Experience">NPE - New Player Experience</a>. <br />
<br />
The discussion covered some interesting ground, such as how CCP is working to keep the NPE easy for players to use and understand, how far it's come since 2003 (<em>"You started in space and you had to shoot a drone and that was pretty much it."</em>), and how they would like to see it improve from here on out. They also talked about the reasoning behind the way the NPE is set up, as a crash course designed to get you through the basics and into the game, rather than a more scattered, drawn-out approach.<br />
<br />
It's an interesting read for any veteran <em>EVE Online</em> player, and a valuable one for anyone new to the game. <a href="http://www.crazykinux.com/2009/11/npe-in-dominion-ccp-eris-discordia.html">The full interview can be read here</a>, and a big thanks to CrazyKinux and Eris Discordia for taking the time for it!<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/16/ccp-discusses-npe-in-eve-online-expansion/">CCP discusses NPE in EVE Online expansion</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:00 EST.

How would you best describe the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/eve-online/"><span style="font-style: italic;">EVE Online</span></a> 2007 Fan Fest? I'd say it was filled with players that talked about ships, consumed copious amounts of alcohol alongside the developers, drooled over the Trinity II expansion, drank more alcohol, some pew-pew and a few bruised <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">hairy man boobs</span> egos afterwards, and it all went down in Iceland. I'll sum it up as a frozen mixture of freakishly-<span style="font-style: italic;">EVE </span>debauchery. I'm still bummed, no "mozom" Fan Fest action for me this year; not that I would want my corporation to obtain proof I mingled with some hostiles, and later use said evidence to black mail me as a spy unless I paid a lofty 25 billion space-bux fine. <br /></div>
<br />Thankfully, for those of us not in attendance or those wanting to relive the panel discussions, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp/">CCP</a> came through on their earlier promise to feature full-length videos from this year's <em>EVE Online</em> Fan Fest. Currently, 12 videos are up for viewing, and length times vary, some go for 20 minutes and others that last a little longer than 60 minutes. It doesn't cost a dime to watch them either. <a href="http://www.eve-online.tv/fanfest.aspx">If you are too lazy to click over and to see the <span style="font-style: italic;">EVE-TV</span> guide</a>, I have you covered with the line-up below. If you would rather read coverage from the Fan Fest, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/07/the-ultimate-eve-online-fan-fest-2007-wrap-up-link-post/">I recently updated the ultimate <em>EVE Online</em> Fan Fest link wrap-up with a few more links</a>. <br /><br />
