Mystery got his claws into Mike "Champion" Wallis, Producer for Eve Online and didn't let go until he answered some questions.How are you guys, schedule-wise? Are you in the spot you hoped to be a year ago, two years ago? Where do you hope to be in a year from now? (and, "the latest lottery winner in Iceland" is not a valid answer)
We are in our live beta test and approaching phase 2 of the test. Meaning, we currently have over a thousand testers participating, and that number is gradually being scaled up, until we reach our target of 10,000 beta testers. That will allow us to test the server load adequately, and also to experience the depth of the player run economy.
A year from now, we will most likely be nearing completion on an expansion pack... :) |
