EVE Online: Update Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault catches up with CCP's Chief Marketing Officer Markus Bergsson to discuss the state of the company's flagship title, EVE Online.

Jonric: For those who are unfamiliar with EVE Online, what distinguishes it from other massively multiplayer online games, and what kind of player does it best fit?

Magnus Bergsson: EVE Online is a science fiction massively multiplayer online game, while most others are fantasy-based, and that by itself is a big differentiator. However, the biggest difference is probably in the gameplay. EVE Online is very much a PvP-based MMOG that has incredibly open-ended gameplay. Most others follow the more traditional path of instanced PvE, where the game presents pre-determined content to the user.

EVE is totally different. There is almost no handholding, and the player has the freedom to experience the game in multiple ways. This latitude brings with it a much deeper game experience and a true sense of reward because the experience is a result of the player's own work. EVE is therefore ideal for those who want to put their own imaginations to work.
