Hrafnkell Oskarsson, Original Designer on EVE Online, Joins Novaquark - Dual Universe News
One of the original designers of EVE Online, Hrafnkell Oskarsson, has joined Novaquark and will be working on Dual Universe. While quite different than EVE, Oskarsson will capitalize on a

Actually... Apart from vision i can´t say there is anything from launch EvE that i would cherish all that much. It was something very new back then... But that was then and now is now and times have moved on.
This have been a good conversation
Because working for CCP from 1999 thru 2015 (including 4 yrs of WOD development) would give him no insight of value to delivering this new space conquest MMORPG?
Looking at his Linkedln profile, I'd call it a solid hire. Heck, I've considered doing so before, I may buy one of those recently announced backer packages with this good news.

As for what those 4 years on WoD are worth... Who knows... Seeing how CCP chocked that team to death in a move that would make Ted DiBiase proud. For all we know the team was kept folding napkins.

So i do not expect this guy to bring anything of quality to Dual Universe,he would likely make it worse and turn it into some ISK rmt operation.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Fly safe!

It was never a AAA title and the devs never varying stance towards providing a harsh, unyielding PVP focused universe always ensured it would remain a niche title.
Its risky to criticize that which you have limited knowledge of, makes one appear bitter and narrow minded.....
Oh wait.....NM

eve never was a game for the masses, you like it or you leave it... and i guess you left it
bout half a million people decided different tho.
and imo, i rather play a niche game i like that a mass game i don't.
but lemme guess, you either are a pve player, OR thought you are a pvp player, bought yourself some expensive ship, went to the nullsec.... and popped? :>

But there was no denying that even at the point of release it was something entirely different.

But it isn't just 'point and click' and saying spaceship only is like saying 'X-wing vs Tie-fighter' what is so great about that? FPS only, what is so great about that? You do actually need to do manually flying in Eve.
But if you are looking for a pve experience only, then Eve is not for you, Eve is NOT just 'spaceships'. That is rather an over-simplification.
Apocrypha from 2009 is the gold standard of eve expansions so i don;t know where the from 2006 comment comes from I am sure. Eve is still good, if the idea of Dark Souls In Space appeals to you, I have been having some nice battles and scheming in faction warfare.
As the saying goes if you find yourself in a 1v1, then you are doing something wrong. Bads are eliminated from eve via natural selection. The weak must perish so that the strong can survive.
