Speak with an agent and accept a mission, look up the details by pointing your in-game browser to <a href="http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports">EVE-Survival: Mission Reports</a>, gear up properly and watch the ISK fill your wallet as you down NPC pirate after pirate. Profitable, sure, but doing this for weeks on end will probably have you craving some more variety in your <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/pve">PvE gameplay</a>. <br /><br />Hopefully <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a> players will be getting that variety through more engaging storylines beginning next month, as developer CCP Molock explains in his latest dev blog. The <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/apocrypha"><em>Apocrypha</em> expansion</a> will introduce "Epic Missions", a departure from the standard rinse-and-repeat when accepting agent missions. These new missions will be linked together in an ongoing storyline, played out across a number of missions. Players will make choices that determine the outcomes of Epic Missions via the new branching system that will accompany these missions. The rewards will be on par with standard agent missions, but the completion of a chapter and especially an arc will provide some exceptional rewards, CCP Molock says.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/02/25/eve-onlines-first-epic-mission-arc-to-arrive-with-apocrypha-exp/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>EVE Online's first Epic Mission Arc to arrive with Apocrypha expansion</em></a></p><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/2009/02/25/eve-onlines-first-epic-mission-arc-to-arrive-with-apocrypha-exp/">EVE Online's first Epic Mission Arc to arrive with Apocrypha expansion</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:00:00 EST.
