Announcing your intention to blow up the economy, in any other online game, would probably be met with raised brows and perhaps a few suspensions depending on the developer. When the mantra of the developer is just as hardcore as that of its players, say CCP for example, the reaction might be closer to a [...]

Eve Online Possibly Coming To Gaikai, Onlive
March 22nd, 2012 
Omali I have a feeling that we’re going to be seeing a lot more of Gaikai around here for the foreseeable future. Two weeks ago I talked about Turbine’s plan to bring a limited trial for Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online to Gaikai, an online streaming service where players would be able [...]
Games To Look Out For: CCP Edition
January 1st, 2012 Omali Even if you hate CCP, even if you have no interest in Eve Online or DUST 514, you have to admit that the very concept of an space ship MMO on the PC interacting in real time with a first person shooter on the Playstation 3 is astounding and exciting. DUST is expected to release [...]
Eve Online: 350,000 Subscribers
December 30th, 2011 Omali Convincing an MMO developer to release their subscriber numbers is difficult, if not downright impossible. After all, since World of Warcraft came in and scooped up twelve million people, somehow players have decided to use the most popular MMO in existence as a benchmark for success. Still, Eve Online is one of the big players [...]
CCP Responds To Star Vault’s Terms of Service
November 17th, 2011 Omali As a small website operator, I’m always interested in seeing what kind of overwhelming response can be generated when someone far more popular than me links to my story. Last week, I brought up the rather humorous story of Mortal Online’s Terms of Service being stripped directly from Eve Online’s, down to the accidentally placed [...]
Golden Joystick Awards: Only The MMOs
October 23rd, 2011 Omali The results for the Golden Joystick Awards are in, and since this is MMO Fallout and not Assassins Creed Fallout, I’ll focus on the MMOs that won awards. Best Subscription MMO Winner: World of Warcraft Runner up: Rift Third place: Eve Online Best Free To Play Winner: League of Legends Runner up: World of Tanks Third Place: RuneScape You can [...]
CCP Lays Off 20% Work Force
October 19th, 2011 Omali CCP’s situation is unfortunate. The developer has done very well with Eve Online, but as I speculated earlier is year, the simultaneous development of DUST 514 and World of Darkness is straining the company to its financial limits. The reduction in staff is expected to leave one fifth of CCP’s employees without a job, and [...]
Nominations For Golden Joystick Awards/GDCO
August 25th, 2011 Omali The Golden Joystick Awards have been running for 29 years, making the ceremony older than a good amount of the people reading this website. Every year, games compete in a number of categories from shooter to adventure and everything in between, with the voting determined by viewers like you. This year marks the first year [...]
CCP: Harden Up
July 15th, 2011 Omali I found this video from 2009, it’s a rap song performed by CCP’s several offices. Who knew that the CCP guys could play music and rap(?). The song convey’s the focus of Eve Online perfectly, especially the chorus: We’re CCP! We march on fearlessly! Excellent is what we strive to be! If you’re going to [...]
Eve: We’re Fine With RMT, Just Don’t Affect The Economy
July 14th, 2011 Omali CCP and the Eve Online community support pay to win. There I said it. For many of you this will hardly be a tantalizing discovery but it is something that needs to be said to the somewhat-in-denial Eve community: Eve Online is already pay to win, what the community is against are implementations that unbalance [...]
