Keynote Chat

Hey! Sorry for the slow response, we were bombarded by enthusiastic space friends last week (in the best way possible) so I missed your question.

There was some considerable emphasis put on new players, but that was twofold. One part is to show our change in approach to the NPE; instead of a one-time ‘fix’, our strategy has shifted to ensuring the NPE evolves over time. And secondly, to show our established players the fruits of our developmental efforts and highlight some of the changes that are coming on the horizon for all players (not just new players).

I totally understand how other discussions, such as data and the economy, could be attributed to new players - but we very much approached that from a position of existing players. The extensive work we put into the foundations of EVE will benefit people coming in for the first time, sure, but we know the largest affect it has is on players that are already citizens of New Eden.

Foundational work isn’t always sexy, but with that already completed it paves the way to build awesome new elements to what makes New Eden a fun and exciting place.
