14 DAY TRIAL // CCP, creators of EVE Online have recently agreed with MMM Publishing (the producers of the game's official magazine, E-ON) to launch EVE TV, a weekly on-demand Internet TV broadcast dedicated to the virtual universe of EVE Online. Basically, it'll provide fans with everything they need to know about their favorite MMO game.
Gamers of EVE Online will be treated to the very latest news, in-game skirmishes, market trends, human interest stories, exclusive interviews and game-related features in a professional and entertaining weekly production. Along with SpiralJunkie, EVE TV's lead anchor and veteran of the EVE Online scene (assisted by StevieSG), the duo is backed up by a first-rate reporting team, FortunaFive, Fangtooth Kasumi and Beefy Fiddler, as well as a widespread crew of in-game correspondents, all providing the latest in EVE Online news - both in and out of the game - in real time.
"EVE TV is the next level in ground-breaking virtual media," commented Oliver Skelding, MMM Publishing's Managing Director. "It's a world first, providing communication to a community on a scale never before seen, giving players a platform to communicate with each other beyond mere web forums and podcasting. EVE TV is focused on player-led news and events and provides unparalleled access to behind the scenes information about the game. EVE TV is designed by the players, about the players, for the players." "EVE Online has always been testing the boundaries of online gaming with its massive online universe, so it was a natural progression that such a dynamic and active virtual world had its own TV station." said Magnus Bergsson, CMO of CCP Games. "EVE Online is a universe run by its inhabitants and as such produces epic and diverse events that need to be reported in the same way they are in real life. EVE TV is the ideal medium for such reporting as it offers independent and timely information to the players and CCP itself."
EVE TV was originally formed to broadcast from the EVE Online Alliance PVP Tournament in 2006, during which more than 10,000 EVE fans tuned in to the live, double-weekend broadcasts. The service is hosted through Jalipo, the first online marketplace for TV and video. That's all for now. Make sure you check it out right away!
