I don’t like this crossover at all. Taking a dead brand and slapping it onto your own doesn’t do any good for you. Who ever came up with this and those on the top who thought that this is a good idea too, should really rethink if they are the right ones for their job. I have my doubts. I’ve subscribed for Eve and not for a dead TV-series, who only lives of the remnants of an once glory past. ---

These “advertising opportunities” are not harmless as they advertise something that is not EVE.

Whilst I used to be a fan of Dr Who (old school and maybe up to some of the recent Doctors) I totally lost interest when the BBC decided to go politically correct and instate a female doctor. Whilst I am not in principle against this, it was so totally whack and not in sync with the whole history of the series, it did not work. Plus, the writing and stories REALLY sucked (and that is why it failed imo). It’s gotta be said, crossovers really do not work. This doesn’t belong in EVE at all. It’s as if CCP are running out of ideas. It doesn’t mesh, it doesn’t even make sense from an EVE lore point of view, and is looking like a cashgrab (even though I bet the IP rights from the BBC cost a pretty penny). My two cents. o7 ---

I see no problem lore-wise from either side. From the whovian point of view the eve storyline is just a very small bubble of lore never explored in the TV-shows. What are 20.000 years of eve history, when the timeline of the Dr. Who universe spans from the begining to the end of time? Dr. Who was always written from the point of view from our present and other then a few reoccuring antagonists like e.g. the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Master most antagonists of the Doctor, where only there for a few episodes over the whole 50 years. So the eve crossover would only take “a few episodes” at best. From the EVE point of view: How much is really known about old earth history in the EVE lore? The EVE lore does only know some small fragments of its own history. Jovians are a mistery, even if they exist during our timeline. We know next to nothing about the sleepers, the triglavians, the talocans etc… What goes on outside of the 5.000 systems of know space? 5000 systems in our vast galaxy with milllions of stars? Over a small time span of “only” 20.000 years? So from a lore standpoint there is no problem. It will be a limited event, after that we can go back to not knowing the history of our own limited bubble of time and space, we call New Eden. The only thing problematic is: Will the event live up to the marketing hype? Or will it just be some wornwholes with daleks instead of sleepers? ---

Whoever thought this would be a good idea, should be fired immediately. This is just inappropriate and ruining my desire to play the game at all. I will not be resubscribing until at least this “advertisement” period is over. If it has a lasting influence on eve lore i will also rethink my investment of the future.
