GameSpy has posted up an interview with Mike Wallis, Senior Producer of EVE Online: The 2nd Genesis.
Here's a bit about EVE's background story:GameSpy: What is the basic storyline for the game?
Mike Wallis: We've created a vast history and archive for this story, it's at our website, but the basic storyline starts about 400 years in the future. Humans have created a technology called The Eve Gate, that lets them jump across the universe, which lets them colonize another section of the universe. For several hundred years the colonists are very dependant on Earth for resources and materials. Suddenly the Eve gate collapses, nobody knows why, the technology just stops working. Now these new colonists are cut off from their lifeline and they fall into a Dark Age, into total disarray. Hundreds of years later, like 900 or 1000 years, they rise up again, only now the humans have developed into different factions. We call them races. |
