EVE Online Embracing the Empyrean Age This Summer
by John Kershaw on June 11, 2008 at 1:11 pm

CCP have announced that their space based, economy driven MMO, EVE Online, will be getting a new expansion this summer in the form of the Empyrean Age.
The expansion will bring the game a number of new and/or improved features, such as factional militias and warfare agents, system occupancy, more stats, combat zones and world shaping. The finer details on these are yet to be known, but a brief outline for each has been provided.
This summer, CCP will bring EVE into the Empyrean Age. The four major Empires of EVE have broken their long-standing peace and are marshalling their forces for war. The outcome hinges on the actions of the galaxy’s immortal pod pilots, allowing players to direct the course of the conflict.
The events of Empyrean Age have been a long time coming, building upon nearly a century of political tension. Access to Jovian technology ushered in the age of the pod pilots and shattered the balance of power, and recent events have sparked a march towards total war.
Just in case that wasn’t enough EVE for you, an accompanying book entitled “EVE: The Empyrean Age” by Tony Gonzales is due to release on July 19th.

We can never get enough of EVE! Never! Though I haven’t yet joined one of the factions and participated in the action of Empyrean Age yet, I created an alternate (Alt) character to try it out.
By the way, the book release is slated for June 19th, not July.
