I *just now* received the first issue of E-ON<\/a>. Woo!<\/p>\n

That’s Eve-Online print magazine. They beat SOE on that<\/a>. Bwahahah.<\/p>\n

I always wanted to order it and got finally motivated after they announced they were going to run out of copies (and they have now).<\/p>\n

I only had time to skim through it. It’s really, really, really, really pretty. High “production value”, I didn’t expect it. 66 pages full-color (next issue will have 76), magazine format, glossy paper. Lots of very good images, but also lots of text. Small text, I was actually expecting they were going to use something big to fill the space. Dev profiles, concept images, ship descriptions\/sheets, design notes about the Titans, stories and guides. There’s only one ad from ATI in the backcover, the other few are about in-game corporations ads.<\/p>\n

I want more.<\/p>\n

It’s a really good idea for this type of game. There’s a context to write about things, the game has a huge breadth. It’s also useful to valorize the time. Things that change, how the game evolves, the corporations turnabouts, new ships and stuff. There’s a whole lot going on in and around Eve. It wouldn’t work for the other one-dimensional games where you already know all there is to know.<\/p>\n

It seems they are also planning a trading-card game. Let’s see if they beat WoW on that as well.<\/p>\n

(I also received Lum’s book<\/a> a while ago and it is good too. I just don’t have enough time to read and comment… Hmm…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
