I decided the other day to boot up eve online seeing that it was coming up on 18 years. Eve online has been through the ringer in terms of new things they have tried and failed at. I had high hopes for the first person shooter they created but since it was Playstation only and not PC I feel is one of the biggest reasons it fell flat. That project was called Dust 514.
However there are currently some hush hush rumor's of maybe rebuilding such a FPS for eve and I really feel that could bring a new level to eve online. Being able to implement a full universe is important for the advancement of CCP I believe because of the fact that many other projects are currently doing just that under one system. I feel like it all started with no mans sky and has since evolved into star citizen (lets be hones that games never going to really be playable lol) and the big winner so far in my opinion being elite dangerous.
Right now eve online is offering up some pretty nice login rewards for free and paid accounts. I'd recommend the paid for right now if you want to jump in for another month. Skill level boosters new skins and more! These are all easy freebie ways to jump in faster than ever back into even and start mining and hunting for those ISK.
