The new EVE Online website has been deployed. It was first announced in this dev blog and further introduced in this video.
The old eveonline.com as we know it is gone, but we've moved the various resources and support tools from it, to the new community site:
community.eveonline.com
The deployment of the new sites is staged, which means that while some will see them immediately, for others it will take a little while longer.
Please take your time to browse both sites, we are eager to hear your feedback. CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

Awesome! It is pretty clean and much less cluttered then compared to the older version. I like all the drop down menu options when you roll over the Tags. Keep up the good work! |

That's because the launch is staged. I'm told that anything up to an hour is considered normal while some will see it right away.

Horrible as it more scattered as before and things are really much harder to find and take more clicks to access. Did you guys take lessons from the awesome neocom team? Asking because this s*it is as well designed and executed as it was. Pure CCP quality without match to be found.

Crikey. Navigation is a pain isn't it?
Took me nearly a minute to find the link to these forums.
It's pretty yes, but I'm much more of a function over form chap, personally, I didn't think the website needed updating at all.
Oh, and the new font/spacing on the news/patchnotes? Horrid. |

Great job on the new website CCP. It was refreshing to wake up to a more vibrant page this morning.
One piece of criticism:
Mashie Saldana wrote:Amazing, how the heck did you managed to NOT place a link to the forums in the Community tab?
Yes the "EVE Websites" dropdown is the completely wrong place for it.
I'm not a big fan of the 'EVE Websites' dropdown either. It blends in to the background and it significantly smaller than the other buttons in the top menu bar. This is arguably the most important menu on the whole EVE website and I didn't even notice it until I read the dev blog that pointed it out. It should definitely stand out a lot more if it continues to carry the important links that are in there right now.
I suggest further categorizing these items to make that area more noticeable and easier to navigate:
EVE Community + Forums + Community + EVE Gate
Accounts and Support + Account Management + Support
etc.
On a similar note, I also think the menu's current label is a bit misleading. If I was new, I wouldn't think to look at a menu labeled 'EVE Websites' to find my account management page or the forums. |

The ship view shouldn't default to Amarr. It should default to the list of races. At first I thought only Amarr had been implemented because the scroll thingie was hard to see. |

8 sites to serve purpose which could be served through one...
I would assume that when I go to eveonline.com there would be quite linear direct links to all content. Not any drop down menu to forward you to some other site where you might find what you're looking for if you're lucky and guess right.
At least make some god damn index page with direct links to all the content which I can bookmark. This was really low grade upgrade for the worse. Bling goes over the usability again.
Big improvements on the old website aesthetically, needs a few tweaks but I like the idea of the sandbox link with the different careers that one can become is a nice feature, simpler GUI's explaining the game will allow CCP to attract more players. Location of the tabs/ buttons needs to be altered a bit and the scale of the webpage looks pretty bad in internet explorer |

Thanks for the feedback. This whole area is one that we will be expanding on as the main anchor point across all the websites, especially when we are at the point where you can be signed in across all the websites from any one (yes we are working towards this). The most basic EVE Websites dropdown was an initial step, so anything you would like to suggest here is good input.

Overall a very nice visual upgrade
Minor notes
* I think the ship list in the ship spinning thingy should be more visual ( change to brighter ) and add < > there too to make it look more then a scrollbar. The first time i totally didn't see there is a scrollbar ^^
* Can we please have a link to the forum thread for comments in the News and dev-blog entries? You should make this WAY more visual .. that you can give feedback on those here in the forum
* If i click http://www.eveonline.com/sandbox/manufacturer/ on the video down below there. First of .. it should def. autoplay ( or make it WAY more visual .. that you need to click it in order to play it. Right now it just looks like a image. And i can't close the popup window when the video is playing. Also .. why can't i fullscreen the video there?

Go to 'community.eveonline.com/', click 'Support'. On the column on the left click on of Knowledge Base, Petitions, Api Key Management or Bug reporting (any of those will work). On the new page click 'Eve main site'. Instead of being back at 'community.eveonline.com/', you get redirected to 'eveonline.com/'.

FF8.01 on win764, nvidia quadro fx 1400 driver v. 8.17.12.5896, ship spinner shows black, switch to map and back and it shows engine trails and what *might* be an itty-bitty ship. Also VERY noticeable edges to the box.
I tried the "force webgl" option someone mentioned above, got about a half-second of seeing the ship before it went black, switched to map and back, again trails + itty-bitty thing in the middle.
Update to FF10 since it's been so long since I've used it on this machine, still the same. |

Had to go into about:config and set webgl.force-enabled to true to make things work. Is that expected? Also there seems to be a number of ships missing (Harbinger, Prophecy, Ferox, ...) And the "All" tab doesn't seem to work either (only lists Capsule). Firefox 10.0 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. MDD
We'll look into the config thing, as far as I know there shouldn't be a need to explicitly enable webgl in Firefox, however FF 10 is relatively recent, things might have changed since the last we checked.
Currently we are not listing all of the ships available ingame, only a selection of about 50 of them. Regarding the "All" tab, "All" is referring to the races this ship belongs to. The only ship that all races have in common is the Capsule.

Ok, for a first-timer the website is nice to explore.
BUT, its a bit confusing if you are searching for something, an example: you want to read some chronicles, you go to "creation/fiction" and see 9 chronicles. Now, you know there are more, but how to get to them? Its completely isolated. You have to go to the Evelopedia, search for Chronicles and hit the right page. Thats clumsy .
Also, i don't see the new corporation-forums? How to activate them? |

At first glance, I assumed "all" would list all ships. Your explanation does make sense but I can't think of a better way of displaying it.
Also, while the ship spinning is really cool, most are very dark - almost invisible in some cases. Hound and Tornado pretty much disappear when spun away from the brightest part of the background. Mind you, this can be the case in the game itself, so it's probably a realistic view. |

The website is hugely impressive, congratulations. I makes me want to proudly show it to other MMO players to entice them into EVE.
It even works on my iPhone, with static images instead of the spinning and animation. It also loads quicker than the forums. Brilliant stuff, it deserves to win an award.

Houm... the messages meaning that my browser does not support GL or whatever (Maps, ships), should say that my browser does not support GL or whatever, not that i will have a better experience with a newer browser. Opera 11.61 is not an old browser.
Also, there should be a way to tell people that clicking the race name shrinks the ship list (yes, this is how it works ingame... but then this is for noobs, isn't it?) EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec. CSM 6: 100% Nullsec residents.

I agree, a small message like that might be useful, possibly getting people to come back with a different browser to see the spinning ships instead of static images. darmwand Repossession Agent http://www.repo-corp.net/ Recruitment is OPEN |

A lot of 'shiny' with less information. Nearly all of the chronicles and the scientific articles are gone. Yes, I know there is a fiction wiki, but outsourcing all the primary background gives new players the impression that the background does not matter at all.
Also there is very little info on the races. Yes there are ship statistics but nothing that helps new player choosing their race. |

I'm not a fan of this new front page. I can't get to the community page, so I don't know what it looks like yet, BUT it is not obvious how we're supposed to get to the devblogs. Also, your News items (specifically the one for the new site) no longer includes those helpful links to the associated feedback threads. The usefulness of the site has been seriously degraded for regular users (though newbies might like all the flash). Everything is essentially hidden behind 3 or 4 clicks of site navigation unless you go straight to the forums. |

LOOKS nice, but the usability is horrible!
Took me 10min for searching where to download my patch.exe that i don't have to download 3 times all files to patch all my 3 clients. Haven't found it on my own, asked a friend where to find it.
Sry but the old version was much better for finding things and navigating throught the whole eve-related stuff, what is A LOT!
Keeping something like the old navigation menue by hoovering over the "EVE Website" button with ALL informations would be great and the bittervets would still find all they need!
Sry, but the only things i need from the official homepage are: Patches, Forums, DEVBlogs, Account Management, (only once after a major Addon) checking for some nice pictures about new content. My first feelings are, that all this stuff is hard to get a fast access, so i'll add some direkt bookmarks for future use.
Sry guys but you messed something up a bit in the looks of many old players! |

Spell Check Alert
Question 3 in the series of questions for Personality Analysis under the Sand Box tab has a small spelling error.
error in question: "what do your fight for?"
to get to this question you need to:
Q1: What interests you most? A1: The clash of arms and ideology.
Q2: What is most important in battle? A2: Pilot initiative and skill.
answer those two questions like so and you will get to the one with the small spell check error.

I totally like this! When I finally understood all I needed as a player was to go on community.eveonline.com it completely conquered me =D
The only problem is I can't see the whole www.eveonline.com site on my netbook screen, it is too much wide.
So, nice work! I'll have fun in turning inside out all the www site when I have time (and on my bigger screen) ;) I actually saw the starmap but I haven't the time to play with it now.
PS: I'm a loyalist! * * The tests are really cool for new players, maybe they'll soften a bit the learning curve =P |

You need a big honking GÇ£DOWNLOAD STUFF!!" button right there on the top menu, before any of the fluff about the universe and the sandbox.
You're also quite inconsistent in what appears where. If I go to the EVE Websites > Support selection, I'm sent to the support.eveonline.com website. Perhaps not all that surprisingGǪ except that the support site is missing some of the things you'd expect from a support site, such as patches and similar downloads. At the same time, if I go to the EVE Websites > Community website (community.eveonline.com), there is a GǣSupportGǥ menu there that, among other things, lead to a different support website (but with the same headings and end pages)GǪ and to a download site, which is here correctly sorted under the Support category, but which still doesn't exist on the support site.
At some point, you'll probably need to go through and consolidate all those scattered locations into a couple of coherent groups. Folding the old support subdomain into the new community subdomain seems like one such thing.
Also, the whole GÇ£EVE WebsitesGÇ¥ drop-down isGǪ misnamed. My first association is that this will lead me to various auxiliary and third-party sites such as battleclinic or EVE-search or eve-survival GÇö not to sites that are actually part of the GÇ£core CCP EVE pageGÇ¥ structure. Call it GÇ£EVE sectionsGÇ£ or GÇ£site categoriesGÇ¥ or some such instead. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

The Ship spinning is nice, but the site is 99% marketing, 1% content.
The "choose your career" option is ridiculous for 2 reasons
1. The ship types assigned to each "profesion" while semi accurate, makes it look like you "choose" that "profesion" and get given that ship. Imaging Mr Newbie "I'm gonna be a pirate"'s reaction when he finds the the it will be close 6-8 months before he can effectively fly, let alone buy and fit a Cynabal. As for the empire builder/alliance leader and the titan. lol
2. Seems that you have to choose one of the carreers listed. Doesn't explain that these are play styles rather than professions, and that someone could pirate, lead an alliance and do industry at the same time.
Overall, I hate to see style over substance, please don't go down this road again CCP. Marketing is important, but please make sure you provide substance/accurate information rather than style. |

Love it.
EVE Live feed at the bottom is a great touch. Now tell the people in the Incarna department to give us that on a customizable interface for our main screen.
The quiz needs to be longer or at least have more options! 3 questions with 2 answers each was a bit disappointing, I think it would be even for a new player who would like to feel like there's a little more to it than that! I know you want to keep it somewhat simple, but give it a little more for a little more fun and excitement.
On the page : Find your path in the sandbox - it wasn't immediately apparent to me that those images with the circles were interactive. Recommend making that more obvious as well!
Was a fun visit, hope this brings me more people to shoot. Mimidae Risk Solutions Recruiting |

As it should be, new players will almost certainly arrive at the main page and they need to be sold the game. Not confused with stuff that's more relevant to current players.
By the time you've got into the game and become an existing player you'll have figured how to get to the stuff that matters - and even more likely bookmarked directly to deeper pages.
Yes it means that all us existing players are going to have to go through a few weeks of pain whilst we find our way around again - but it'll be worth it in the longer term, more players is better for everyone.
CCP should've done this _years_ ago. Gratz on making a tough move that's going to bug a large chunk of the player-base but is in this case the right decision.

I agree with this statement. I think you need a statement somewhere on the top or bottom that says something like :
"EVE Professions are for demonstration only. The freedom of your actions in the sandbox determines your profession, not the other way around."
Also, on the "EVE Universe" page, you mention Pirates, and other careers - interlinking them to the professions pages would help people understand the concepts together. Mimidae Risk Solutions Recruiting |

I'm here with a feedback to the most important feature of them all.... SHIP SPINNING!
- Move the share buttons to a less r3#arded place
- Add a visual size comparison icon (resizes itself when zooming)
- Static images look awesome, 3D ships view sucks (aesthetically), reverse that!
- Ships selection hates users, and ship info sucks, better it!
Here, have some nails from the thumb: Frigate view, Battleship view, Titan view with minimized list
We simply need a good view on our metallic penises, alright?! |

I guess I don't understand this.
There are 3 sites, which are going to be linked.
www.eveonline.com community.eveonline.com gate.eveonline.com
One is for marketing to new players, and is the "front" for CCP to market EVE. This is just business to attract new players.
Community is for official news and devblogs, backstory, etc and digs more into things.
And Gate is for interactive player experiences.
I don't get the impression the community site is done, since it seems to be ripping the old pages main content sections and putting them into a "box" essentially. I can't say why you think there's any wasted resources here. You're wanting too much in one place. Pick a function, build the form to fit the function. If you put too many functions, you end up with a Swiss Army knife - but you don't end up with a full on screwdriver, hack saw, or torch (yes, I've seen Swiss Army knives with those.) You have to compromise somewhere, and the best thing to do is to just pick one function for each section and build around that. I'm hoping more of the community site keeps being improved, since that's clearly only a temporary solution to rebuilding a LOT of pages and content that really need to be there.
The community site is basically most of the "old site" and EVE now has a PROPER marketing site, where before it was just a community page - now we have pages we can actually demonstrate. People I know that don't play EVE are already "getting it" and really think there's really awesome stuff on there. Especially the ship spinning section is getting some reactions. The quiz section so far has gotten about five "meh" reactions. So, I think CCP really needs to make that cooler!
@ CCP devs, I don't like the drop down menus at the top of the community site. Going for a look closer to the EVE gate would be preferrable - with a main menu bar with important links right there, etc. Just stating my dislike for that on a community site. On the main page it works great because new people like to explore. After we've settled in, the community site can be a bit more expository up front, like EVE Gate.

Well, as a designer, I can tell you most clients don't give you the luxury of making that excuse when you try to sell them your product. So, whenever I look at sites like this, I'm looking at it with fresh eyes with no other excuses, and I agreed that the profession page makes it seem like there's a dozen "boxes" you can be put into, not a box you can step out from to play EVE.

There's a button on the top right to get to all of EVEs webpages easily. The forum is the first button. I think CCP didn't do this by mistake. If you want community resources, go to the community site.
I don't normally summon on a persons credentials for them to validate their point - but how much design and web design experience do you have? That's not to discredit your opinion, but to understand if you have the technical knowledge to say "it's easy" with any actual background in website. Otherwise, from my opinion and my experience, I have to disagree and say "it's not easy" and I think they've done a great job with what the goals they want to accomplish.
Just my 2 cents.

I think you're just not reading what I posted. I'll break it down by points:
The page that is most used by EVE community is the forums. That is why this page should have all of the community/customer links within easy reach. Easy in this case is one click, or a drop-down/unfold menu item at worst.
Instead, to get to those customer resources we have to navigate to a different site and look for a different style menu at a different location on the new web page, and then still having to perform several clicks before we get to our intended destination.
I do not need to be a web designer to understand that this is tedious and cumbersome. In fact it's plainly obvious that that qualification isn't guaranteed to help. |

That is why this page should have all of the community/customer links within easy reach. Easy in this case is one click, or a drop-down/unfold menu item at worst. Instead, to get to those customer resources we have to navigate to a different site and look for a different style menu at a different location on the new web page, and then still having to perform several clicks before we get to our intended destination. I do not need to be a web designer to understand that this is tedious and cumbersome. In fact it's plainly obvious that that qualification isn't guaranteed to help. As the forums are getting a update to support the corp forums I expect alot of the fuctionality you are asking for will be added before the end of the week. They have 3 days before the first CSM candidate has to have his page up on the forums plenty of time.
It did not make sense to add the tabs without the main sites up. |

Ok, I agree. All the websites need to be better interlinked.
I thought you were saying you didn't like the main www.eveonline.com page because it didn't have everything you wanted on there. Yes, there are some cross web-site integration issues that need to go on. Currently, to get to the community page from the forums, I have to click on Dev-Blogs, and then that gets me to community.
So, I don't think they're done with any of that, and a CCP Dev said that there's more to get done with integration. Mimidae Risk Solutions Recruiting |

Before I get into this, I think your main page is supposed to have "Text Slides" that change periodically? That's not happening for me. The first one says : "One Universe To Explore and Conquer" the next says "Discover your future in the sandbox", and they're not changing as I believe they should be.
I know you have multiple subdomains, but I think you need to make them comprehensible to users by their components, rather than throw a lot of sites at us in the drop down menu.
Visually speaking, you have :
EVE Online Community EVE Gate
You have subsections for EVE Gate as :
Player Stuff Forums Evelopedia
And then you have alternate sections :
EVE Store Expansion Info EVE Account Management Support (out of date theme!)
Currently, seeing these all at once and understanding their relevance is a bit hampered, as some people have expressed with navigating around the various sites, you don't quite get the feeling of seamless interaction.
Your challenge is making a SINGLE navigation tool that crosses the breadth of these and at the same time makes them all feel important.
What I almost want to see is the ability to hover over the "EVE Online" Logo on the main site, and then from there I can see "Community" (image logo would be nice), Gate, Evelopedia, etc with image logos for those sections, so I feel I can switch between them by switching the logo sections. Unfortunately, I think the main problem with that is it's not typical web behavior and standard web users will not know to do that to get to the different sections. Perhaps if you are able to execute it elegantly, moving the "EVE Websites" under the EVE Online logo would give you immediate access there.
http://i.imgur.com/nW1mA.jpg
And then, do something similar for all the sites, and you can get cross site integration?
Just throwing it out there, not 100% happy with the recommendation, but I think it's a step in the right direction philosophically. Mimidae Risk Solutions Recruiting |

Well, overall I think it's a major step up from the last one. Needs some consolidation as others have pointed out-- the links are in different places and lead to different things depending on which site you're using. The usability can be improved as well; it should be brainless to a)download EVE, b)reach the forums and c)at least notice the wiki.
It looks fantastic.
I really liked the new player video.
I think the career page has inspired a few eyerolls from people who actually play the game. Not that they're wrong per se; just some of them are a little naive.
I would also suggest linking to popular [necessary] tools on either a main page of the community site or the getting started page. EVEMon, Pyfa, DOTlan, etc. |

Btw: Most EVE Players are still very familiar with very long lists and a lot of buttons and drop down menues. It's good to try to simplify menues but don't create a structure that needs to click through 5-6 sub-categories.
As short example: Don't go the way Microsoft did with windows that lot of ppl use the "old style" cause they can't find anything in the newer more grouped and categories versions. At least it's something i and most of my friends always change on any computer to find stuff much quicker. |

Horrible design, really. It initially "looks" good, but then you try to use it and realize just how unintuitive the site is.
As a test, go to the main page, and pretend you're a completely new customer. Would you have any way of even knowing that these forums exist? If someone then told you about them, how long would it take you to find them?
As others have pointed out, links are spread all over the place, in many places with no indication of what you will actually find when you click there. If you're looking for something in particular, and it isn't directly linked on the main page, finding it is a major pain in the ass because its not always obvious where to look. |

Good news then. We are going to build a new Community site and the part I look forward to the most is to make a whole new fansite listing page which allows players to find the type of fansite they are after and improves the promotion of fansites. We don't like this old fansite page any more than you guys do ;). We have lots of ideas for the new fansite page and we're going to be talking to fansite operators at Fanfest among other things and discussing the way forward.
That being said, I think the current community site is a lot easier to navigate than the old EVE-O site. But that's just my opinion :) CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

Terrible design for high resolutions desktops and high resolutions mobiles! It feels like a step backwards a decade. Who's idea was it to have 50% of the page empty on high resolutions desktops screens and high res tablets? Talk about no foresight, as tablets move towards high resolution this will be a massive problem.
On my desktop I have something like a 1300x1200 resolution empty page with a tiny strip used in the middle. Not much better on high resolutions tablets where it's hard to read due to the massive wasted space. This new design is really flawed and only works on medium resolutions.

Regarding the issue of our other sites that don't have the "EVE Websites" dropdown. Do not panic, we'll add that soon enough, we just didn't want to be deploying ALL of our websites the same day.
Also, as CCP Alice pointed out earlier the EVE Websites dropdown is just the first step towards a more comprehensive solution to this problem, we'll be iterating on this in the future. |

Good effort so far team, I like the new colours but some of the clickable links could be a shade darker so they show up better, colour disadvantaged people like myself have trouble with pastel shades.
The ship spinning works fine in IE9 and Firefox 10 on my games machine and I have static ship pictures in IE9 and Firefox 10 on my Dell laptop
The star maps work fine on my games machine, rotate, zoom, interactive, slide etc in both browsers, but on the Dell they loose the slide part everything else works as intended. The only thing you might add to the star map is the ability to show the regions belonging to each faction when their name is clicked on the bottom row. It would give a prospective player a sort of NSEW orientation of where they were on the map.
A better explanation of what the viewer is looking at would be helpful as well because just seeing lots of coloured dots may mean little to someone who has not actually played the game.
Once the other parts of the sites are integrated with this GÇÿmotherGÇÖ site I think many of the complaints will subside but I do agree with many that a more prominent way of getting to patch downloads would be helpful.
Expanding the choice of GÇÿprofessionsGÇÖ would also be a good thing and I hope Bloodpetal does not mind but this quote from his/her post should be the GÇÿCorporate MantraGÇÖ to headline the selection page;
"EVE Professions are for demonstration only. The freedom of your actions in the sandbox determines your profession, not the other way around."
Good effort but needs extra work to improve.

I like the new site; yet another example of CCP's constant quest for innovation and improvement!
However, there are two things you may wish to attend to:
1. The Robin's Egg Blue of certain links and highlights on white background. I find myself squinting at these; it is painful and distracting.
2. The complete lack of music! Set the tone of what is to be a potential new player's first glimpse into the world of EVE with some of those tracks that so enchanted me the first time I shuttled off into space so many years ago. |

The new site looks great and is a nice tool for newer players. It needs tweaking, but the complaints I have have already been addressed by others. All in all it's shaping up nicely.
I'm not a fan of you trying to trick your customers though. I understand why you chose a cool sounding profession like a bounty hunter, but at best you are giving the false impression, that there is something called a bounty hunter profession in this game. On a strict technical level it's true, since rats pay a bounty and you could try to hunt players with a bounty, but you know god damn well shooting rats is not what anyone thinks when they see a bunty hunter profession and the player bounty system is totally broken and useless. They are going to think that it's an actual profession you can focus on instead of a meaningless label you can attach to almost everyone who does any PvE in this game.
You're just setting up people for disapointment when they find out what you meant and what useless piece of crap the player bounty system is. They come in thinking they're going to be a badass bounty hunter and get to hunt targets in a huge player driven universe, but the only bounty hunting they actually can do is grinding boring mission rats or shooting the same boring rats in belts. It's a cool concept that will get people to try out the game, but it'll equally likely leave everyone of them with a bitter taste in their mouths and feeling disapointed on how shallow and broken the actual gameplay for bounty hunting really is. |

OMG CCP, do you really call this crap a website?
Return previous website! Convenient, simple, intuitive, understandable. What i see not not even a website. This is an EVE adversitement page. Where is news i could see immedietly? Where is links to databases, evelopedia and account managenment? Where is all functionality EVE player needed? What i see now? Pretty picture, movie, and lots of fancy adversitement! Spaceship preview! WOW! Does Eve player need it? Not. It made to impress potential newcomer. 3D spacemap with "Valuable" information like "Ships killed last 24 hours" WOW! Do i suppose to be impressed? Not. Eve player already have all this in game. So, it made to cause possible "WOW!" of possible new subscriber, not the one who play EVE. This is good that you trying to attract new players, im not against at all. But this is a adversitement page, It can't be main EVE online page. This is not what we, who playing EVE, want to see when looking at website. Functionality of this fancy disaster you dare to call "New Website" is close to nothing. I do not want to belive it will remain like this. Because it is meaningless now. Return normal website as it was before! At least, make it possible to load old style website! PLEASE! Be honest to yourself - what you made is NOT a EVE website, This is EVE Adversitement page! (And, btw, made according to classic asian MMO template)

My feedback on just the main site, not the community one:
- First off, let me say that I like the idea of what is being done here. I think a main site to cater to potential new players with a separate site for people already playing is good. This way we can have a lean site with just what we need and the marketing can live and grow the way it needs to.
- My initial thought on the design is, wow this is slick and cool. But....
- Even as I look at this on my res 2560x1440 monitor, I can't help but feel like too much of the actual content requires too much scrolling to get to. The look is clean and that is good, but I feel like space is somehow not being used efficiently, especially in the in the top 400 pixels or so.
- There MIGHT be a little too much white for EVE. I think the color scheme is pleasant and slick-looking but it might need some darker elements if you really want to give people an accurate impression of EVE.
- The top nav system does not make it clear that you can click directly on the top element which is important because those are the landing pages. For example, going directly to The Sandbox >> Loyalist (which is what many people will do) provides absolutely no context and is confusing.
- Under The Sandbox, it makes more sense to put the personality test in the first element (far left) before the types.
- I know it gives people some sort of reference, but having the ship and the 3 little trait-type icons for the profession types is REALLY misleading and for someone coming from other games where roles are defined in-game this heavily implies that these are the traits and ships you get. I do really like the avatars you chose for these though.
- I think "Creations" is an inappropriate/misleading word for what is under that section. I think something like "Imagery" is better.
- I said this in another thread but will simply agree with what others have said, the list in the ship viewer is not efficient. The links Darsain posted are a good direction to head. I don't think any new person will have any use for the flat list, you should save yourself some room and remove the option. Also, there needs some way to tell the scale between the ships.
- The maps are cool but really useless without a legend and/or labels. What do "People and Personalities" have to do with ships lost in the last 30 days?? For politics why are we not looking at an actual sov map? I could go on but the point is this is a potentially AWESOME feature for pulling in new people but right now it doesn't really give them a good idea about what they are looking at.
- Listing the number of wormhole systems holds no meaning to new players. It would make more sense and be more interesting to call them "uncharted" systems.
- EVE Live ticker is GREAT! I think using times instead of dates for some of those entries would make it seems MORE live.
- I know it is nice to advertise that there are new expansions out and new features, but that has no reference for new/potential people. It might not make sense to have that so prominent on the main site.
- I agree with others that the video should auto-play. But while we are at it, why are my volume options only LOUD and OFF?
- The "Try EVE" button should pulse invitingly, just sayin' |

Overall I love the new 21st century website! :)
The Pilot Orientation video is fantastic. The lack of metagame references helps with the immersion for those who enjoy it.
Great to see some EON stories uploaded and it's very convenient for all of them to be in .epub/.mobi format for those with e-readers! Hopefully the rest of the chronicles and lore will appear soon.
I suppose t he only thing I wish is if the community site could somehow be merged with EVE Gate to minimise the amount of websites. You'd have your "splash page" (the new site) and then any current players would immediately defer to EVE Gate. ---- Remember this. Trust your eyes, you will kill each other.

Again, time and work was wasted. Not just for nothing, but for worse.
EVE website was one of the most convenient sites MMO ever had. And now we have pretty picture and lots of adversitement. There are lot of things you can do for EVE universe, but instead of improving what cries for improvement, you spending time on changing something which better not to change. New website is a joke.
Community section at least resembles to normal website a bit, but still, it just a pale shadow of previous functionality.
It will be very nice to have OLD style version avilable. Or, better, just restore it completelly. Thank you. |

I agree that the top-right call-to-action button could be enlarged, but I disagree with some people's feedback that it is out of place. Putting a CTA button right of the navigation and near the top-right of the page is common practice; it even notifies you (via the arrow) that it is a drop-down menu. While the usability could be improved (as always in UX, of course), I would guess that those who compare it unfavorably to the last site simply had the last one memorized. |

I already attempted to enrol all the potential players I knew with the 60 day trials, but otherwise I would be handling them this video without a doubt.
This video just made me feel proud about EVE, something i haven't experienced often in the last months.
PS: make it high definition,PLEASE!!! EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec. CSM 6: 100% Nullsec residents.

Thing is that CCP tries to make face lift to get more people to play eve. Good luck.
Truth is that changes like these does not change the fact that game is even more harder to play than earlier.
Now you have to make your own link page to get all important data to easy access.
1. Learn to code html !
When you enter in game you have to
2. adjust neocom
3. disable/enable lot of features from settings (welcome pages, session timer, some warnings, camera shake etc...)
4. window positions , chats etc...
5. then you undock, and you have to setup overwiev setting, lot of different ones depending what you are going to do.
6. fix module positions for your ship (if you do that usually)
That is all what you have to after you are really ready to play this game after new install without settings saved/imported, every patch brings more and more things you have to adjust before you can play.
I do agree that new websites are modern ones with lot of adds and without actual content, same than watching TV-shop channel.
Some changes would be nice example area for actual data is really small , it does not matter how big display you have area is fixed, approx 15% of my display area and i have medium size display, so now if i want to read something i have to scroll a lot , maybe ccp has not noticed that screens are going wider, not higher. |

That is actually the plan and I've noticed that we may not have managed to publicize our web strategy widely enough.
EVE needed a website that shows off EVE. Gives an instant glimpse into EVE. Instantly takes hold of the imagination and that sense of adventure that propelled us oldies into the game a long time ago. We need to reach new EVE players out there and help them realize that they belong in our universe. EVE has need that for a long time and she finally has it.
The old main site was a mixed bag of everything and nothing. It had something like 1020+ unique pages I was told, and I have to admit that after 9 years of working here, I still caught myself not finding stuff on occasion (maybe it was just this darned dev bar blocking my view...but I think I wasn't the only one who had some trouble with the navigation).
My opinion (your's may vary) is that the new Community site is a huge upgrade in terms of hosting easy-to-find resources for existing players and staff, although all of us here are fully aware that there is work to be done yet. This is an interim site while we build a completely new community site that will consolidate these resources and do absolute justice to the needs of info hungry pilots.
We've gotten a lot of good feedback and tips so far and they will be of great use moving forward. So keep it coming! CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

So far I like the new site, but had some minor problems when trying it on Android (ICS) using Google Chrome or default browser: I'm unable toplay the embedded videos. I'm shown some video control hints (like a playback bar), but they won't interact (just like static images). Also, on Chrome I don't see the "old browser" hint, yet WebGL isn't supported. Everything fine when accessing the page from Windows. Looking for more thoughts? Read my blog or follow me on Twitter. |

If the new community site was usable, it would have: -> eve gate on top bar -> traditional links to all content on narrow left column -> most content opening to right column, including the forums, account management and support.Sites like Evelopedia which have own links on left column should open to own tab/window but still have the link available. -> minimal borders -> (customizable and) removable background image -> no drop down menus what so ever.
Obviously something this would be too much to expect. 8 sites is much more cooler.

My current concern is that it's very hard to visualize all your websites in a wholesome fashion.
The EVE store, for example, I think is riding with almost no exposure on the drop down menu thing. You'll probably lose some sales from people not being able to easily see that.
Any word on making the profession quiz awesomer?

Please do. I took it out of curiosity and it seemed short and inflexible. I have humble motives -- to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their ship crews. I understand that grand ideals spice things up when luring in new players, but there's a lot of room between "freedom fighter" (appearing to mean FW) and "pirate" (appearing to mean suicide ganking for fun and profit) in the non-nullsec empire PvP spectrum. |

Once you handle that, which should take all of a couple hours tops (hell i'd volunteer to code it in, not hard) then consider having a consistent theme through out. Eve home, and community match each other Eve gate, forums, Evelopedia, and Eve store match each other Support page is old Account management and expansion are fine as they are

Hello,
As pointed out by many others, the overall design looks great. It most certainly will grab the attention of prospective new players.
However, I think the explanations of "Professions" in Eve are misleading.
- There are no "Freedom Fighters" or "Loyalists" other then a few Role-Players... who are laughed at by the other 99.9% of PvPers... who are all "Pirates" according to the list.
- There are no "Bounty Hunters" in Eve because the game mechanics simply do not exist. Bounties in their current form and do not facilitate this sort of play.
- Some of the "Professions" listed are natural results of years of experience with Eve. They aren't anything a new player could hope to accomplish in a few weeks or months.
Overall this is very false advertising. I know you want to get new players excited, but it could have the exact opposite effect. We all want new players to get excited about Eve, start playing, and keep playing -not feel deceived and quit.
As a suggestion, you should consider focusing more on what players are doing now and how that relates to "Sandbox" aspects of Eve.
NPE is really important and we all want you to get it right so Eve continues to grow. |

I've only had a very cursory poke around but this new design is infinitely sexier than its predecessor. There are a few things that have already been mentioned that you might look into:
1) Navigation between sites is less than intuitive. Immediately you can shuffle some links around as previously suggested so that it's easier to get to where you want to go. In the long term I think it would be best to really try and create a single site that unifies the current online presences.
2) I really like the efforts that have been made to give a better and more informative first impression to newcomers. It's engaging and exciting. However, a few nitpicks. The quiz needs to be better developed, it's entirely too simplistic right now. Also, and this reveals my bias towards my own ingame activities, I think there's a large enough difference between a trader who hauls and a traders who focuses on activities more akin to station-trading to make a distinction. A greater effort to also link these professions to their out of client aspects (bonds, banks, loans, scams and the rest of the MD forum antics and dramas) might also prove useful in the act of enticement. Come to think of it, should not "Scammer" (or, likely, a different and more appealing name for the ruffians) be a profession.*
All in all, I think that if the prime focus of the upgrade was to make a better starting environment for prospective players then the entire team deserves a pat on the back for laying some really, really impressive groundwork.
*Asking that "Botter" be a profession would be too much I think. |

This was long overdue. Finally a front page that looks like its from this century (this is a space game set in the super-future after all). Can't wait to see the new community site once you replace all the old content with a look consistent with the new one.
As other people have mentioned, I think the biggest challenge right now is getting some form of consistent navigation across the different websites. Each site can have a different feel, but its feels too different right now. Load up each site from the drop down in a tab and then flip through them. I get lost will all the different types of navigation bars and it just seems difficult to know what the relation between all the different sites are. Some specific thoughts:
- I count at least 6 different styles of navigation, why?
- The style of the EVE store is the same as EVE Gate and the wiki. This makes no sense to me.
- Just merge all the account-only stuff like petitions, api, and bug reports into the account site. This will be awesome when (if) you give us one master account that manages multiple eve accounts (and DUST accounts?).
- Merge the support site (which now only contains static info, see above) into the community site (you already have it in the navigation there). If it really needs its own sub-domain at least make the two sub-domains feel like the same website.
- The forums feel like they are part of EVE gate. This is good. The wiki looks like it should be part of EVE gate but it's still separated from it (look at the nav bar). Just make it part of EVE gate.
Lets summarize:
- EVE Gate contains forums: add wiki.
- Store looks like part of EVE Gate. This is weird.
- Put all logged-in account stuff into the account site including api, bug reports, petitions, etc.
- Essentially merge the community and support sites.
Now you have
- All sites with EVE gate look and feel like one site (except the store)
- Front-facing site and community+support site are for different purposes but share same feel.
- Account management stays how it is but gets more functionality.
- Expansion page: fine as it is, or can be styled like the front facing site.
This plan can unify the related sites, better group information, and reduce the number of different styles to at best 3 and at most 5. |

https://www.eveonline.com/start/ has at "step 3" mention and imbedded link to the "new pilot movie" (which is awesome) but it shows a wrong movie (emperiyan age trailer). Since the new movie shows exactly what you have to do in a clear way its a rather shame that it is not showing to anybody.
In fact I think that a quality movie like that should be on the front page of the new website.
I think someone mentioned a similar error earlier but I just want to make clear its still wrong.

Thanks, Ciar Meara. Most people are seeing the correct pilot orientation movie but there is an error that will cause some to see the trailer you mention instead. We've tracked this down and a fix will go out soon.

Like the ship viewer alot! Good Idea. One gripe though; can't see the ships so well. Ether brighter lighting or a lighter background. (more hi-sec less null sec) Mak them easier to see the details. |

i want the dev blogs and the game news to be visible on the same page, or at list being two options at the same place. currently, like before they are too far from each other.
on the front page you can see the news, but not the blogs. oh sure there should be news about the blogs, but it's not the same than seeing what was the last blog. we like to shoot thinkgs, not read things
there's not even a blog section link on the front page of the community website ! |

wide screen monitor support would be a good choice, right now only half my 23" screen is used with the new site. the old site displayed a little better, likely as it had code in it to stretch the page to fit as best as possible.
even if you can set it via a profile setting (widescreen on or off), just to use the screen real-estate a bit better.

Just took a look at the ship models. I can see them, the FPS is fine but..They flicker.
That is any small section of the model will go from mostly black to the intended color and back several times a second. Every small section of the model does this on its own time and at different rates, making the ship skin a flickering mess. It is most pronounced on surfaces that reflect light toward the viewer.
This effect does not happen with the Hulk and the Noctis, but does with the other ships Ive checked, and the pod.

Logged into game a while ago and saw yall's announcement about stealthy features added to EVE Gate.
Came to forums a few minutes ago for some browsing whilst on picket.....and noticed that the top bar of my EVE Gate is now hosed.
I see my portrait on the top bar, however the profile settings, logout, mail/flag links have all been pushed down to the backgound of the forums. Can't remember what else is supposed to be on the top bar :( (guess I'm getting old)

you might want to check the z-level of calendar events against the z-level of menus. seems that events trump menus at the mo.
it's good work tho, much easier on this side of the code :)

Over all, well done. It will need polishing, but an awesome start.
I believe it's been mentioned before, but in terms of the ship display section, having something to denote the scale of each ship would put the final polish on that section.
Thanks for the great work! |

Any chance you guys can tweak Eve Gate a bit? Used to be able to use it just fine on my Galaxy Nexus, but now I can't log off my character. The logoff option is either not loading at all or it is loading in a background layer or something. I can see the character name but there is no mouse over menu. As it is, it has gone from useful to mostly useless. I can check eve mail on one character, bbut not the others. |

Splash page looks nice, but after first impressions, a web site is about information, and it feels a lot harder to find. Old web site I could find all the information on a single page, not have to guess that "dev blogs" and "patch notes" are under "community".
Why "community"? Forums is "community". "Stuff for people who already play the game" is not the same as "community". |

Honestly, not a fan... I thought the old website was functional. I feel like the new page is nothing but an advertisement for the game and complicates access for members who are already paying for the game. I cannot find a link to EVE insider at all...and I find myself going to Google to search "EVE online API Key" just to get to the page to manage my keys. I didn't have a problem with there being a front end with links to FUN, NEW, and EXCITING things but I very much appreciated the old style with a button that said continue to EVE Online where there existed a professional looking website. To me it feels like I bought a car but can't get the giant neon dealer price tag off the windshield so I can actually drive the car.
Then again, I am one of those people who hates how Facebook keeps changing their interface every 5 minutes, so CCP may just be catching some of my wrath from that... |

Awesome New Website!
Don't know if it's been suggested before or not, not gonna read through all the Comments. I think in the Shipviewer the Mousewheel should act the same way as ingame! As of now it is inverted and very weird when you're used to scrolling in and out a thousand times a Day.
Of course as a Player you're not gonna be looking at Ships on the Website that often, but for new Players it would probably be a good Idea if they can experience how it will be ingame.

I like the old website better. Darker and colder, more scifi. I don't like the more colorful, big-icons new one. Looks more kid-oriented.
I also don't like that the news and dev blog feeds can't be found on the same page now. That sucks.
Nice effort overall though, so 5/10.

I don't know if this is the right place for this. I haven't played Eve in a while, been busy with RL stuff. However, I really enjoy reading the lore, backstory, and chronicles. They're not at all easy to find now because it's not obvious that they'll be under the community site. Chronicles don't come from the community, they come from the developers. Further confusing things, there is a section under Creations->Fiction on the main site that has some fiction, which led me to believe that was all that's left.
In order to find the Chronicles I actually had to go to the wiki, search for Chronicles (the wiki has a full-text copy of each, it seems. I thought they had been permanently moved to the wiki.), find one, scroll to the bottom to the "Comment on this" link, go back to the root forum, find this post with a link to the community site, and look though that. This is a terrible change, IMO.
Also, just noticed "Likes recieved". WTF, is this facebook now? |

The website is beautiful, but it lacks something which is hard to put your finger on. Eve has always been about minimal, subtle, powerful, functional design. Here's kind of what I'd been hoping for.
Don't get me wrong, the imagery in the current site is beautiful [salute,Art department! :),] the interactive maps and ship spinning are friggin' cool, but I miss that cleanness and functionality.
Some thoughts before I get called on it...
- Yes, it's a Caldari-colored background with an Amarr fleet. Personally I think the "themed" nebulas might be borderline kitsch... they're ultra beautiful, so variety across the galaxy would be awesome! Anyway, this wasn't meant to be a statement. My real answer: it's just a concept. :D
- There's too much high-sec. I know. :D [In a perfect world... /carebear]
Here's what would be interesting to me: coherence between the Eve in-game UI and the website. If all things Eve felt connected, I don't know... I think I'd have a geek-out fest in my chair. Literally, I mean, because it's internet spaceships. But hey.

New site is a disaster. It's really good as advertisement, but useless for players, I think. I saw this piece of *oops!* when I was trying to download duality client. In good old days I could find it just in the left menu. Now I can't. I can't even find mention of it. It's annoying, when you have to search something, isn't it? |

The new websites 'shiny' buries important information. The old website had a very functional design, for example if you were looking for patches then you could just select the proper categories.
For more functionality I would recommend to take the new website and use it as an advertisement page, but keep the main website with it's functionality with as a main website. |

I have to agree with a couple posts above. The new website is an absolute tragedy.
It's nothing more than a giant billboard with shinies flashing all about, sacrificing function for everything else. There needs to be a balance in every website design between aesthetics and functionality. EVE's current website totally abandons all reasonable functionality for pure aesthetics.
I honestly can't think of a website that could be less representative of what EVE is. |

it is good to see that you put an effort in improving things like the game or forum, however, like incarna launch, this site also has a great look and potential, accompanied by not practical aspects.
for instance, took me a wile to see some old options like account management and other things ... i'm still looking for the bug report section ...
1) - so, good looking forum, where you can't find the sections that you're looking for, wasting time and getting pissed of looking for things you can't find.
2) - also, "side root browse section" was always more practical to navigate, instead of that drop off stuff that you came up with on top.
i suggest you consider the importance of making the forum navigation more accessible to find different things, with root and sub-root sections
but continue with the good effort improvements. thank you |
