Did Somebody Say
"Expansion?"
Curious about the next EVE Online expansion set to hit the servers on
June 10th? See what CCP game designer Matt Woodward has to say about
factional warfare and new single and small group content that are part
and parcel with the new Empyrean Age expansion, set to go live on June
10th.

Woodward: "But the basic thing is to give people who don't PvP or
prefer to go solo the chance to PvP on a smaller scale. Some areas
you'll come in and only find a single frigate or destroyer. This
amazing 5-year old guy with his tech 2 battleships isn't coming in,
isn't involved with the fight - you'll only find people flying the same
ships as you. So it's a level playing field. Hopefully over time you'll
bring some mates along - there's a chat channel when you sign up where
you can talk to other people on your team if you like... And then you
get a few random guys together, you go and do the mission, maybe
someone jumps in on you and you chase them away, and all the sudden
you're like, "Whoa! This is what EVE Online is all about."
