I for one welcome our new community.eveonline.com overlords. The poor site has been in need of an overhaul for sometime now.
Just make sure that you don't let the hamsters get too slack with all these fancy new greased wheels and new extra hamsters. Wouldn't want them getting fat and lazy now would we. http://www.dust514.org - the unofficial site for everything DUST 514

I've seen this website with my own two eyes and it's pretty boss...I'm very excited about it!
We have a video in the making where we'll talk about it some more and show you lots of footage so you see it in action. Then you won't have to wait long to play with it yourselves :)

If I didn't already enjoy Eve, this looks very much like it would drag me into the game. Not just the 3d spaceships (Super Awesome!) but also the bit about the Pirate in the gameplay styles. Superb! I may not like you or your point of view but you have a right to voice it. |

This is a stealth attempt to offload EVE cluster load to poor webservers - by enticing ship spinners to use a browser rather than the client. Devious...

How about including an Influence map somewhere on the front page to highlight how the sandbox truly player driven? It would help new players get a better understanding of Null-sec politics and further immerse them into the depths of the game. We hear about all of the large battles and invasions on the news page, but if you don't know who Goonswarm or Raiden is or what space they are based out of, it's just a cool story disconnected from a new player's personal experience. One look on a map showing who owns what space will tell you who has large influence in the game.

This does look very cool, I look forward to it, especially the community/fansite tools.
One minor concern though - have you given any thought to the fact that the front-facing EVEonline.com site might be so good with its ship-spinning and interactive sexiness that it will provide all the thrills of the actual game client without the need for a subscription. ;) Writer of Freebooted blog.

Damn after so MANY DAMN YEARS the site is getting a pretty big overhaul but i was wondering is there any chance with the new website forming up that we could add skills on the website rather then having to carry every single time 8GB of data with us just to insert a damn skillbook in the que? To be honest this is pretty harsh.. or if you have ANY plans to change that in the near future |

tl;dr - we at the web team still neither play EVE, nor use the websites. You still won't be able to use the websites from within the igb, and all the useful tools of the website will be even further buried behind layers and layers of marketing and advertising. That is all. |

I think you have a good point. Maybe in addition to including these awesome new playstyle screens, you can also include a page with a CCP version of the (player made?) "what to do in Eve" chart? I don't have the link, but I'm sure someone here can provide it. "The world as we know it came about through an anomaly (anomou)" (The Gospel of Philip, 1-5)-á |

Also I want to point devs on the problem with "DIN Condensed" font (if they plan to use it on new site) and cyrillic characters. Example: fonts on http://trial.eveonline.com/ru/eveisreal.aspx are horrible. Text in [H2] and [p] tags is broken. Please make sure things like this wont appear on localized pages. |

QFT
Also wanted to add, assuming you keep the "playstyle" page, I hope in the finished product the images/videos would be relevant to the playstyle described (e.g. the pictures for the pirate show tacklers and things getting shot at/blown up).
Just in the interest of making the page more cohesive. |

So this is definitely a step in the right direction, but I truly hope that there's an emphasis placed on consolidating information about game play. I used to play Eve quite often between '07 and '10, but life got busy and now I just maintain my character skill queues. This year, I'd love to get back to playing, but it's intimidating to do so with all of the new additions and modifications to the game features I had grown used to.
How awesome would it be if there was ONE reference I could use to relearn HOW to play Eve? How awesome would it be if part of the patching process involved the folks at CCP updating this single information source to reflect all of the new features? Am I way off here? Has this already been addressed in my hiatus from the game? Or am I going to have to read all of the previous patch notes to get up to date on things? I think that maybe having an internal team whose sole purpose in life was to maintain something along the lines of http://www.isktheguide.com/ would probably be one of the single most valuable things that could be done to entice me back into pew-pew sooner than later.
This is from the perspective of a casual Eve player who would prefer spending my time in space blowing things up that sifting through the Support pages, Evelopedia, Eve Gate, and Eve Community sites, and would like something more specific and definitive than an in-game tutorial. I just don't have the time and patience for that.
Having said all that, I love where the game is going and the new focus at CCP, and I can't wait to get back into my pod regularly.

Yep these are good points and something I feel aware of as well. It's much appreciated to get this kind of feedback on it too, so thank you both. It's a balance between getting across that you can define your own path/gameplay style and that this can change (or be a mix) like you say, and also being able to give people an insight into what that means through showing them tangible examples.

Haven't had time to check, but does ingame browser be able to dipslay the 3D gallery ? Theoretically I should think so. Either way HTML 5 is the way to go.

As long as the wording is kept to "if you want to be a pirate, here's how that might work," (i.e. actually highlighting that it's playstyle and not a job system) the playstyle pages should be fine, and that sort of thing always seems to be a great way to get people interested.
How are you guys handling IE-compatability with the HTML5 stuff? Glad to hear it isn't going to be a flashmonster though! |

CCP Alice wrote: Interactive star map with different view states where you learn about features of the universe
Based off the image you provided, I don't think this is interesting enough for potential new players because it gives you no reference, just a bunch of dots. Include region names. If you really want to make it interesting, show sovereignty complete with logos. You're probably going to tell me that that is a toggle but I think being able to overlay ship kills over sovereignty is much more interesting.
CCP Alice wrote: Interactive 3D spaceship gallery showing a selection of spaceships ranging from capsule to titan
This is awesome! However, why only some ships and why only angels pirate faction. I can understand maybe not putting the jove but at least add the sleepers, something a curious player could actually seek out in the game if they started playing. I also second the comment about adding crew and maybe lore description.
CCP Alice wrote: Popular gameplay styles like Pirate, Explorer, Fleet Commander, etc. represented as career paths
This is cool. I second what others have said about being careful for it not to appear as if you have to be one of those roles.
CCP Alice wrote: A short Personality Analysis quiz to help you determine what career paths may suit you Revised versions of popular EVE Chronicles downloadable in eBook format
These are both made of win, especially the test.
CCP Alice wrote: Screenshots showcasing all aspects of in-game visuals
Please keep it up to date! Also, I think wallpapers can be interesting for non-players when they are so gorgeous they work if you just love sci-fi. The most recent set from Crucible are fantastic.
Overall very exciting! |

Try use terms that put across the fact that Eve is full of real, human players who can be cruel or kind. Not fictional characters from famous holywood pirate movies |

I hope that the information on the game is presented in a "serious" way. To be more precise: I don't like the image I saw with a guy that say "I AM awesome I'm a pirate look at my muscles and tattoos I came from APB"; I would prefer a more "aura like" presentation of the game, cold, cute, reasoned.
The EVE website should tell you about EVE more like a tough woman you have a reverential awe, than a stupid guy with a camo undershirt that seems to come from APB. 'Woman' is the key, not 'guy', *******! Capsuleers are lords, not gangsta.
Moreover, presenting a game made by spaceships with an avatar like that is sort of a lie. |

Well so why that button is not "try EVE for free" instead of "play EVE for free"? |

I would recommend not putting anything in there that is not also in the game. For example your "pirate" has tattoos on the arms, something we cannot get in-game. CCP employees should never proclaim a feature to be awesome. Only subscribers should. Subscribers can never answer a question posed to CCP. Only CCP can. |

Alice, any chance of resurrecting the www.getaclone.com site, integrating it into the new front page? You could have it tie into the career choices (since that's what it did before, really) - it was a really fun and cool site and it's a shame it's gone! I run the only free empire jumpclone service where you can get a clone without changing corps! Check it out! |

I've seriously been waiting for this change for a long time, glad to see you're knocking it out of the park like this.
I recommend making sure you have a ship spin counter on the ship spinner please. To keep the experience authentic.
Really, great job, can't wait to see it! That old website needs to be taken to the back of the shed and put out of its misery! It's way out of date.

You managed to describe the play style of a pirate without mentioning PvP with a single word. If I would look for meaningful PvP instead of pointless NPC grind you find in all those other MMOs I would go the other way.
It's actually a remarkable achievement in itself to scare of those with PvP who are not looking for it after they joined the game and to scare of those who are look for PvP even before they joined.
The majority of players who sign up for the game don't stay for longer then a month after first payment. I always wondered why that is. Maybe it's because your advertisement is outright misleading? The game has a tutorial that gives you a mining laser and a railgun and tells you to go shoot rocks and red crosses. It teaches you nothing else. It's been that way for 8 years, so are you really surprised that there are people who aren't aware that this is a pvp game? --Jafit McJafitson |

Quick recommendations off the top of my head :
The copy writing on the Pirate description needs a bit of work. I understand this is all WIP and I don't expect an explanation - just saying it to say it.
Also, I think some emphasis should be put on the amount of time it gets to that position. That's just from a perceptual viewpoint when you get in game to go pirating immediately. I'd say that you need to emphasize inter-pirate warfare as "Fight for the best pirating territory from other pirates!"
A lot of time pirating is actually spent protecting your turf from other pirates. Also, not everyone who lives in low sec is a pirate, some are anti-pirates. So, I think that adds something to the whole profession that people are not seeing immediately. You gotta earn your grub around here.
For all the professions try and see the next layer down that really makes the profession feel "Real" when you write the copy down. The devil really is in the details that makes some of these professions awesome.
With a lot of the player made game content you can also be a Gambler (EOH Poker, Blink, other lotteries), a politician, a community developer, a forum troll (this one is important), a scammer, etc.
EDIT : I agree with the above person - emphasizing that you are doing Piracy to other players is something to make sure is clear. Many players think of an MMO and then think that they're going to be doing stuff to NPCs all day. This goes back to what I said about fighting for the pirating turf.

Also add "Solo" to the play style listing at the bottom of your ad for being a Pirate. Group play is certainly not required and there are many solo pirates out there (even corporations which encourage their pilots to fly solo and only call on backup when needed/wanted).

What to do in Eve is one copy of it and attached here for posterity. Oh wait, I can't attach files...so a backup site is http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/wtd/ (which I believe may be the original).
Yes, this'd be an excellent picture to put on the front(ish) page, assuming that CCP can get permission to use it from the original author. |

CCP Alice, why the decision to go with brighter, grayish colors for main sections in the new web visuals?
Ingame EVE leaves a great impression of it being a dark and cruel place - it is in space after all. :) The new design does look modern, good and cool, but at a glance it looks like the web site is advertising something different than EVE.
Expansion Feature Pages, and EVE GATE have awesome colors schemes... Love what you're doing with nebulae in the background and the general feel of elements with transparent borders, but bright backgrounds with dark font colors just don't feel EVE-esque enough.
Awesome work otherwise! |

Nice. Looking forward to see the new page.
Bloodpetal wrote:Quick recommendations off the top of my head :
The copy writing on the Pirate description needs a bit of work. I understand this is all WIP and I don't expect an explanation - just saying it to say it.
Also, I think some emphasis should be put on the amount of time it gets to that position. That's just from a perceptual viewpoint when you get in game to go pirating immediately you have a lot of competition out there and a lot to learn. I'd say that you need to emphasize inter-pirate warfare too such as "Fight for the best pirating territory from other pirates!"
A lot of time pirating is actually spent protecting your turf from other pirates. Also, not everyone who lives in low sec is a pirate, some are anti-pirates. So, I think that adds something to the whole profession that people are not seeing on the initial level. You gotta earn your grub around here!
So, for all the professions try and see the next layer down that really makes the profession feel "Real" when you write the copy down. The devil really is in the details that makes some of these professions awesome.
With a lot of the player made game content you can also be a Gambler (EOH Poker, Blink, other lotteries), a politician, a community developer, a forum troll (this one is important), a scammer, etc.
EDIT : I agree with the above person - emphasizing that you are doing Piracy to other players is something to make sure is clear. Many players think of an MMO and then think that they're going to be doing stuff to NPCs all day. This goes back to what I said about fighting for the pirating turf.
About "Fight for the best pirating territory from other pirates!": I think they can just add some more questions or even make a series... (I think it is even the plan).
About "anti-pirates": I can imagine somehing like ANTI-PIRATE I lie in and wait for ships: with options like: [1] I love to kill bad boys. [2] Im a pirate, but call myself a anti-pirate. etc...But what worries me is, that they will come up with profession which are currently not really exist, like Bounty Hunter or Smuggler etc... it would be more annoying for new players, because false/misleading professions is still better than not really existing professions.
About the new look: Looks great, could be a little bit more grey and darker, but it looks really nice, looking forward to ship-spinning. |

I would love to see a way to be able to click on a "channel'" and be able to view in game footage live.
the Live footage would be coming from pilots flying a cloak frigate with a Camera mount. Make it age verified encase goons try to pull something off that is not appropriate or though of.
They pilot would have limited tools to edit the live feed on the fly, -Static, - Random Missile Cam, -Instant Replay or Reverse - Limited Blocking tools. -Zoom In Feature -Cut to commercial (pre-made by CCP) -Audio Querps (pre made by CCP) - Info Cut out like 3d Ship read out - to explain the ship that was just killed. -Cut in Pre- Made Text Quotes. -Able to cut from 1 camera ship to another. -Able to include eve selected music
Things NOT to include: -Text Chat, -or Live Eve Voice audio -the Pilot over lay.
Only a few pilots would be interested in playing this portion of the game, but these few would be able to show the beauty of the world live as it happens to the world.
Welcome to the Eve Channel! I agree with several people: CCP needs to focus most of eve's recources on FIS, but the development of WIS still needs to continue, just as a slower and more efficient pace. In eve I wish to be more than just a machine. |

I think you have a good point. Maybe in addition to including these awesome new playstyle screens, you can also include a page with a CCP version of the (player made?) "what to do in Eve" chart? I don't have the link, but I'm sure someone here can provide it. Yep these are good points and something I feel aware of as well. It's much appreciated to get this kind of feedback on it too, so thank you both. It's a balance between getting across that you can define your own path/gameplay style and that this can change (or be a mix) like you say, and also being able to give people an insight into what that means through showing them tangible examples.
While I'm neither a content designer nor a marketing person, I have two suggestions. These are similar to how I get new members of my corp excited for EVE, so I think they should work at least on some people.
Keep repeating the words "other players" over and over and over. I am a pirate, I kill other players for profit. I wait at a gate for other players to come through. I am an FC, I command a hundred other players so that our player alliance can conquer the enemy player alliance's territory. I am an industrialist, I build ships for other players in my corporation. Remind the reader over and over again that none of this is a "click butan" quest some NPC gives you, that EVE constantly revolves around interacting with other real people.
Second, add a last page after all the professions, saying "Now it's your choice. Who will you be?" And the list saying:
- Will you fly solo or with other players?
- Will you join a player corporation, or start your own?
- Will you help other players you come along, or will you destroy them?
- Will you fly fast, nimble and stealthy, or tough and powerful?
- Will you build your own empire, or explore unknown worlds?
Et cetera, five or so bullet points. End with a catchy line, like, "EVE Online. The choice is yours. Brave to be bold, pilot!" |

Read the first 2 pages then hit reply.
As Eve is subscription based, saying it is free to play is beyond misleading. Stating there is a free trial (and ofc providing a link) would be far more appropriate.
I love the idea of having an influence map in there somewhere in the sovereign space section. Sov is one of the core ideas that makes eve so great, even if the mechanics need some work.
Nice on the career paths, too. "How do you kill that which has no life?" |

You could definitely encourage a bit more RP by moving the lore and story of EVE into the EVE Information section (out of the Archive) as someone else mentioned. The skeleton of EVE is a damn fine structure, but with fleshed out lore EVE becomes one sexy *****. |

On this picture: Absolution ship info
I couldn't help but notice that you are categorizing all the ships completely differently from how it is done in game. Here you categorize by race first, and then have all your various sub sections, again different from in game sub-sections....
I think it would make much more sense to provide a uniform categorization hierarchy across both the site and game. Please consider changing this to how it is done in the game, with hull types as the primary starting point... |

Wow I love some of the suggestions for the career path / gameplay styles ! Taking it all on board :)
The new eveonline.com has lots of backstory woven into the content (CCP Delegate Zero has done a brilliant job), which is great. So when it came to converting all the pages on "old" eveonline.com into a more organized Community specific website, putting the backstory pages in the archive was more a temp holding place than desire to kill them. All okay now though, they're not there any more.

CCP Alice (& the gang) I have a useful proposal for the site for consideration. In addition to( or instead of) building shinies for the marketing department, it may pay off better in the long run to build and implement a comprehensive and easy to use(i.e. idiot proof) way of submitting detailed bug reports via the users' web portal. I noticed the built in bug report feature after only 4 years of bug free game play and was somewhat put off by the 'clunkiness' of it.
1) Add Drag-n-drop functionality for things like screenshots, crash-dump files, and dxdiag reports etc.
2) Create a 'User-Defined' Category because your current selection is quite limited(although this may create a whole new set of issues with how users actually define the problem).
3)' Help the Users Help You' by creating some idiot proof Help Files and attach them via Tooltips at each Step of the Reporting process(if you went with a step-wise process).
I realize that many of these issues are extremely specific to the user ,but many are not, so having a better way of allowing your users to help you ,will allow you to better prioritize your workflow, create extremely detailed reports for the bug-hunting team(allowing them to do their job more efficiently) and create a better game for all of us.
In addition, I have worked in the software development field for over 15 years now, so I understand many frustrations you may have with your own internal processes, but I think that many of your colleagues in IT , who play the game, not only view EveOnline as a great game, but as a keystone technological achievement to be admired. Keep up the great work!

While I generally like the idea of making things easier on people who have multiple accounts, I'd prefer to see that sort of thing manifest itself more in terms of being able to tie multiple "game" accounts into one "CCP" account so you can have them all centralized in the account portal, all work off the same billing info (rather than a copy of the billing info for each acount), all require common credentials when logging into the game... that sort of thing. Actually merging the accounts themselves to me gets tricky and opens up a big can of bookkeeping worms (especially with the way training works on a per-account basis). Nothing insurmountable, but also nothing that really *needs* changing. Really the main thing that *needs* changing is the ability to switch between characters on an account without having to completely re-start the client. For web-stuff yeah, use the common profile and let people switch to any character on any of their accounts, but in-game a lot of things would likely need a good long look before essentially moving from "you have 2 accounts" to "you have 6 character slots and can train 2 at a time." Possibly useful, *completely* different discussion though.
I'd also caution against persistant launchers, unless they're *entirely* optional. This, even more than the nanny/spyware aspect, is my biggest disagreement with how BF3 is handled- why do I have to burn system resources keeping *2* applications running in addition to the actual game? And don't get me started on their apparent reliance on a browser plugin...
The SiSi "launcher" is one thing, and a "multi-launch" utility for people with tons of accounts is another, but please don't anyone start thinking about an always-on launcher required for everyone that sits in the background "just in case" offering what *should* be 0 value to people who have already finished launching all their characters.
Kinda OT, sorry, but a lot of those sorts of things do seem to start out with a desire to integrate games with web portals and a lot of the features they can bring *are* nice, but IMO best done in a much less restrictive and much more lightweight fashion. |

Great stuff! Players that just came in, wanna try out a new style of gameplay or new sign-ups, definitely will work better with a playstyle guide. Should be a guide to playstyles, not definite classes/jobs. The freedom of choice is one main factor for all loyalist players! And the freedom of playstyle should be better marketed, with one competition coming up trying to boost their claims on 'free from jobs' gameplay. EVE must stake claim on the working formula! |

Thank you for issuing this very clear, transparent and businesslike blog. This is an evolutionary step forward in how CCP interacts with customers. It coincides well with your transitional efforts for the game, brand and market approach as a whole.
I feel more like a shareholder reading a quarterly (in this case weekly) report of the on going corporate activity. I LOVE IT!!!
Is it spun? Sure. Is it carefully phrased? Of course! Does it seem to really represent how you are going about the business of building and changing and improving this kick ass internet space empire game? Yes. Yes it does.

This. It's just a matter of making it a bit more uniform across all the sites. But they clearly said in the blog that is is still a work in progress.
I also couldn't find any links to Eve Is Real on any of the sites. I think it would make sense to put it under Creations on the main site.

But they clearly said in the blog that is is still a work in progress. I also couldn't find any links to Eve Is Real on any of the sites. I think it would make sense to put it under Creations on the main site. Other than that, it looks awesome and user friendly! Eve is real the video is on one of the player role pages. Cant remember which

The positive: I love it!
I didnt believe what i saw, 3d ship spinning in a browser! IN A BROWSER!! omg I'm fainting again.. it is not only an awesome feat I tend to use alot. It is also incredibly cool to show "hey this is my game i talk about more than my wife or children" So yeah.... Ship spinning in a browser!!
A nice 3d model of the system as well as flavour! man do i miss flavour! I mean, the real deal for me in eve is not only "pwning 1337 ships" (in my hulk!) but the coolest thing it forming my identity as a pilot. Not to belong ot a group, but a one unique pilot.
I still look like a generic sterile gallente. While i really wanna look like a dirty grease-monkey w a woolen hat and mittons preferably wearing a white t-shirt that notes "another left turn" cus thats my style of play with this toon. The website brings us stories and professions and i love to take that test again and again!
The even more positive: Feedback
I do agree with some posters, that the right upper-corner navigation menu, should be more clear. I prefer it myself to have a sidebar or sommat. And imho that seems easily fixable with just the main buttons on top of the page, and the subs in the neat menu you guys created already.
* make more and extensive player tests!
It is such an awesome thing. i had never expected it to be so slick and so loaded w content! |

CCP Alice, the What to do in EVE Online graphic was prepared by St Mio, just in case you didn't know :)
Also, is there a way to turn off that marquee on the front page?
Site is great, I'm having fun poking around.
The EVE version of the Bartle Test is short and sweet. I wonder if a modified version could be incorporated into the character generation in-game as a parallel to the manual race/bloodline/school selection? Choose between religion, secularism, individualism or tribal fidelity -> Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar. This would help get people with similar world views into the same NPC corp chat.
The site is really nice to surf through. Nicely done!

not sure i like it...
seems like someone sneezed on the storyboard and they didn't get all the pieces back under their respective headings...
how are dev blogs and patch notes not under game info? and forums not under community? news channels, feeds, newsletters, awards??? thats not where my mind goes when its hears 'communication'... and knowledgebase might wanna have its own tab with subs
i think you got a whole lot of work ahead of you... probably shoulda kept the old and added a 'test' link for this thing...
two coins in the fountain you're whine has been heard... please smile for the target pai...er...camera ... thank you. |

Oh Crap .. not another one.
I fear there is no plan to keep the old eve-online around?
Too much empty space filled with iCandy instead of content on this one. I have to scroll more. Click on item.. scroll down to read content.. will need bigger screen soon.
But appart from that .. it looks.. pretty sexy...
Hrmm....
I like it

On the section cqalled ' World of EVE' it lists wormhole systems as 2508 and not 2498. Is this a mistake or have more WH content been added? Or are the extra wormholes simply testing grounds?
Dev clarification needed please |

Still looking for something I used on the old website. I think it was "My Character". You could log in an then go to a screen showing the 3 character slots, from there you would go to a page listing your skills and a section where you could export personal and corp wallet journals, member list ect.
Anyone know where to get at this now? |

-You really need to make a mobile version/app. I really hoped that the ship spinning would work on my iPhone. From why I can tell it does not Please let us get our ship-fix while at work. Internet Spaceships are serious business so I'm not asking to be able to play EVE on my phone. But I would love to be able to view my ships when I'm stuck in a 2 hour meeting while the PHB's go off about the new TPS coversheets and how we have to use them on our reports now.

You know what that mean... We could end up to play the new EVE in an internet browser soon. They already have the ships in 3D.
Dang! It is sweet to see the 3D ships at work! Thx CCP. |

On the 11th of this month, it had disappeared from the new website.
Where have the "My Character" options been relocated? |

Takara, maybe we are going about this all wrong getting an answer on what happened to the "My Character" section. So in the lingo of the dev blog title I will rephrase my request....
CCP, can we has our "My Character" section back?
Also I realize that this info can be scraped from the API via 3rd party app, but sometime a guy just wants to download the wallet journal (or transactions or corp roster) directly into Excel and work with it there. I'd imagine if I set my mind to it I could figure out how to scrape it myself. But the old "My Character" website just worked and was easy. Now it appears to be gone. |

On the Community website, click the link in the footer for "Archive" and then in the left menu near the bottom is a link to the My Character page.

Any chance that the links on that page can be built into EVEGate?
There are already Profile, Contacts, Mail, Calendar and Voice sections ... could we add a "Data Exports" section?
Also, can you let the GMs know where this feature is now located |

@CCP Alice: I have one objection/suggestion. You say the new website's goal is to show what Eve is to people who don't play yet. In that case section "The sandbox" listing various play styles is rather misleading. A person with no knowledge of Eve would assume these are fixed character classes, as known from most MMOs. Each "persona" description should include a clear information that this is not a restrictive class, that your toon can progress in any direction you choose. |
