Following the furore over CCP's introduction of a shop into EVE Online, the company has gone one step further to winning back the hearts (and wallets) of its fans. Players whose EVE accounts lapsed around the time of the incident have been offered, by email, a reduced subscription offer of $4.95 for 30 days. The news follows CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson's letter of apology to the EVE community last week. More >

Developer CCP has announced a strategic partnership with Nexon, which is to localise Eve Online's client and services for Japan by the autumn. CCP CEO Hilmar Pétursson said: "Japanese players have always been an essential part of the Eve Online community. Having considered Nexon's excellent reputation as Asia's leading game developer and publisher, they were the obvious choice in who the best possible partner would be to help us make the game more accessible to our growing fanbase in Japan."

EDIT: CCP has clarified the effects of the attack to us - "The second attack did not indeed bring down the Eve Online servers, but instead caused some temporary connection issues for a small portion of our playerbase. Others did remain unaffected and were able to play without incident. We have no evidence that any Eve Online user information was compromised at all." [Original story below]

"Most of Dust is running on our own technology ... And Sony is a lot more... open, shall we say, to allowing you to do those things," says producer Thomas Farrer. "It may seem silly, but on Xbox Live your identity is your Xbox Live identity. In the EVE universe, having people not know who you are is quite important." On whether a 360 version is a possibility, he says that working on platform "means you don’t have to make any awkward compromises, technically. Also you get the benefit of a closer relationship with that platform."
