EVE Online: Q&A @ Stargamer

CCP's Nathan Richardsson has been interviewed at space-gaming fans-site Stargamer, about the success of EVE Online:

Why does EVE continue to be popular?

Nathan Richardsson (Senior Producer): We believe this has much to do with the continual development of EVE, the community and their involvement in the development process. We've expanded the team that's been working on EVE right from the beginning, and we continue to do so. We're now up to 120 people, which is three times the size we were at launch. Also the players are incredibly good at getting their friends to play, so it's a good mixture of many factors which has brought EVE to where it (she) is today.
