As a player of Eve for over 19 years I never tire of watching a good, engaging Eve documentary. Thank you for adding this to the list. I love Eve because there is always something different I can do or try to approach mastery of, through ship fittings, tactics or just moving to a different part of space. I know I'll never master everything, but you can aim for one thing at a time and, if you are part of a corporation, your efforts never go unnoticed. Especially if it adds to the quality of life of your corpmates.
Some people here in the comments are old, retired EVE players. As a rare zoomer player, I highly encourage everyone watching to give the game a try. If you can get past the learning curve at the beginning the game really is amazing.
Here is a fun old fact about EvE. Back before alpha or beta, CCP started running a website forum to get people engaged and to trickle info out as it became available. One of the most common questions was "but if I cant fly with a joystick, and there is no actual dogfighting, what is the gameplay even going to be?" Back then the only response I could give was.. "Think Homeworld, but much much more detailed!" Signed: former.. CCP|Loki -3D Artist, Jove builder from day 1 So amazing to see how the company has grown and evolved over time, and how some of the stuff from the very very early days lives on in spirit with in the game still.
I grew up playing EVE. I still listen to the soundtrack to relax or get to sleep on rough nights. I miss it often but have never been able to get back into it.
The guys responsible for it becoming such a great game were basically bought out and ditched the project. The team is just a skeleton crew now, owned by a soulless Korean grind mindset company.
The latest expansions have been pretty good. Fan fest just ended and we are getting the alpha of the shooter in December and pirate faction warfare in November. The shooter looked really good for a pre alpha demo that was running live on stage
i feel the same. i just finished watching aliance tourny and fanfest. sense getting my house however - i have not been able to game. still, at some point i want to get back to it. i still keep my sub up and training. ive played sense 2005
The best game I ever played. Played it for years, got into all sorts of hijinx, unfortunately I don't really have the time for it these days as real life is too busy, but I will never forget the awesome experiences I had in it! It truly is a work of art unlike anything other.
I played EVE for a few years at the beginning. I joined one of the earliest mega corps, Taggart Transdimensional (TTI). I became CEO but lasted a month because I quickly learned I didn’t have the mindset for leadership and didn’t have the time to commit to the role. But I did clean up the membership rolls for my successor before I left the game entirely due to real life obligations. But I never forgot the experience.
I remember that corp from way back....I tried to join but they told me to go buy this certain book from the store and read it beforehand, something about libertarianism or capitalism or something lol
@@ChristosapherDre I’m pretty sure the book was Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, but I only read enough to get through the door and as I became more politically aware as an adult I realized I viscerally rejected the views the author held.
I can see why EVE approached Escapist to produce this documentary. Both place such an emphasis and importance on the value of a genuine and supportive community. I was not expecting to see my patreon name in the credits. It’s small, but seeing my name go by and knowing I helped a part of this story be told after such a long week bout damn made me cry. Great job.
This was a damn great documentary, I don't even play EVE but I've always been interested in its mystique and all that, very well made, super super interesting to know about how this game was made and still running to this day.Amazing job
Eve is the friends you made playing. The folks you faced down Snuffed with, the folks you kicked out of Deklein or Piekura, the folks you met in Mara or Tama's top belt.
Great video. I've worked in the games industry as an artist since 1993, and been an Eve player since 2006. It's the game I always wish I could have worked on, because the models you build are deeply valued by the players, they grind for the ships and really appreciate when they finally have it in their hangar. I've never played a game where I have so many stories, and more epic moments. More importantly I met lots friends and had a blast. CCP is very unique in the industry.
I was part of the formation of BoB back in the day. Best gaming times of my life and I still chat to the guys from those days even now. What an experience we all had :)
I've been playing since 2014. Absolutely love it and i don't need to commit ridiculous hours to it. My char is skilling up even while i am not playing. Great game if you want something to hop on for a few hours a week.
What a great documentary. I was there for beta and early launch so it was wonderful to see the old graphics, hear the story and reminisce. I still play now :D
This is making we want to jump back in. Started playing in the Gemini beta and played for 15 years with some short breaks here and there. Haven’t played in 5 years now but been kinda getting that itch again.
This is pretty nostalgic, I started playing EVE in 2003 during the last open beta, and I "won" EVE in 2021. This does make me consider coming back but... I just don't have the time anymore to really play the game, which is kind of sad but at the same time... dang. Funny too, Hilmar's story around 42:30 - back in the early days, even getting a cruiser was a massive undertaking because ISK didn't come easily. I remember the first corp I joined after release, we spent a week mining Omber just to get the ISK for one of us to buy an Exequror. We promptly lost it too - I think it lived for half a day. Ah, nostalgia... Some more fun facts from the early days: jumping didn't land you at the opposing stargate, it landed you at what I guess was 0,0,0 - the center of the system. There were a few systems where it meant you were right next to a station so you could dock immediately, was kind of sad that got changed (for obvious reasons). Then there was the hilarity of being able to strap multiple propulsion mods to a ship, and get it up to ludicrous speed. One feature I hope they'll bring back at some point was taking damage to your equipped modules when your shields were gone (one reason modules still have a hitpoints property); having a module damaged reduced it's effectiveness, and when it got "destroyed" (0 hp) it would stop working, only way to make it work again was to repair it in station or buy a new one (I think they both cost about the same at the time). Been many a time I took my poor Incursus back to the station with 2 out of 3 weapons not working, afterburner only half alive, and so on.
@@VikingKong. yeah, they do that now, back in the day they took damage when you were in armor - that got patched out quite fast. Then there was like a decade with no module damage until overheating became a thing.
@@terranaxiomuk 40 hour work week, a girlfriend, and interests outside of just sitting behind my computer? And for the type of play I do, just a few hours a week doesn't cut it; I can spend hours a day just chasing content.
Still loving and playing the game after 20 years! Keep up the good work CCP! And thanks The Escapist for making this doumentary, really cool to see these behind-the-scene stuff and hearing some stories i havent heard of till today. What is EVE about? I think its to make friends while having a great time and fun in a beautifull game.
I remember in the earlier days, you could basically fly through a region without seeing a station to dock at. I remember having the thought even way back then, that one day all of these systems are going to be filled with player built stations, and that's exactly what happened. It was such an intense thing seeing an Alliance build their own station in a system they called home almost two decades ago, and seeing new alliances come and go and take over those stations with often no awareness to the history. Every single station in null sec with the exception of 68 stations, were built by players.
I used to make my ingame money by.. basically writing for and editing an EVE Online fansite. Eve is a reality people choose to partake in, which extend beyond the client, but which can also exist in a microscopic scale of a single entirely gameplay focused event. And it being a world that not even the developers fully understand anymore, is fascinating. Random people become experts in systems and mechanics of making things happen. I still find it fascinating.
I clearly remember at 11:55, playing on a CRT monitor and seeing those thin lines in the screen, a filter or whatever but it is so nostalgic to see! They did away with that filter very quickly, but it looked unique and charming on the CRTs back then.
I was going to say it’s hardly a ‘making of’ because a very small portion of footage is about ‘how was it done’. But now I think the title is more about ‘how is it being made, before and right now’. Despite sort of not liking Hilmar’s performance at the Fanfest, I’m really having enjoyed his part in this documentary. Both ‘tales of ye olde’ in the beginning (very interesting and informative), and the cute personal story at 42:28. Thank you!
The Subtitles are off on some points, 22:37 "was in part just a way for 30 people to make EVE Online in three years"Is maybe better then Even line. And at 43:40 "That I just borrowed from my E-friend that I like broke the trust of. "Probably better then the word thrust ;)
What is amazing to me is that Eve has been a game for over 20 years and still going. And then you look at the Star Citizen project, which is still in active development for almost half that time. Someone should do a deep dive and compare the two games in both development ,scale, and delivery
30,000 boxes, of EVE Online only in the world.... Well I have one of them! Was given to me in a big box of games as hand me downs from my Uncle, I never realised there was a small amount of copies.
It is and once was, for me, a very unique and excellent game indeed. 👍👏 There is so much to say above it and my time in it that i always end up writing a novel about my time in EvE. 2006 - 2013
Awesome job ppl, loved it, and mostly proud for being around since 2005, ups and downs but always coming back and enjoying it like the first day, cheers!! o7
I played EVE for a few years, I lived in Nullsec with TEST Alliance Please Ignore while they were in Legacy Coalition in the south. It really is all about who you play with.
11:22 oh dude i've always thought Eve looks peerless. I still keep getting happier over the graphical improvements. You guys show me theirs no limit to how many times you could polish a corvette and still make it sexier. Actually seeing the photage of the beta really threw me off. I thought their was a super retro era i missed. I missed too much anyway only half paying attention. "Mining can get lonely" Man i'm older, peace quiet and menial hobbies are all i look forward to after work. XD
Ive played EVE since 2004, it has really taken a hit lately because decisions are being made by marketing and not people who know how the game works. With some of the decisions that have happened the last few years, you begin to doubt the devs even play their own game.
For me it was poking my nose into a wormhole with absolutely no idea what I was doing. Spent 3 days in J-space and had 20x more money in my cargo than I had ever made in the game. Lost my way home and got trapped in J-space. Finally find a way out and the door is being camped. So I panic, and it all comes down to this one moment weather I get the good ending or bad ending.
I never played this game, but I was always intrigued by it. I guess if I had unlimited time, I'd try to get into it. But still, it's a fascinating concept... a fascinating world.
You dont need unlimited time. Your character skills up passively. You just put a skill queue in place. It learns skills while you are not even playing. I play a few hours a week and have done since 2014.
As an early 2005 player at one point EVE for me was the greatest game I ever played. I have moved away from it for the last few years and it lost a bit of its sparkle at some point. Its interesting that they mention the UI as actually for me some parts of it got worse with time rather than better although that was not helped by the addition of my features that all needed to have their own way of being interacted with.
Lol I remember the days torpedoes went off like nuclear explosions, it was satisfying but in huge battles it would crash players lol. It's insane how much the game has improved/change and evolved since those days. If there is a few things I miss in this game, it's the combat, players and music. It really is unique in this regard, I can't tell you all the unique individuals I've met playing this game, and how much they taught me, and it was always sad to see a longtime friend leave the corporation for Lowsec/Null sec.. But that is just the way the game works, just like real life, your friends get a job in another state for example, and move on with their new lives. No other game has given me such an personal experience quite like Eve. Eve is brutal, and it will NOT hold your hand. And some people may not like it for this reason some may view this game as math class/economics class, but I loved Eve for this realism. No one holds your hand in reality, you HAVE to communicate and make friends in order to move forward in this life, and Eve teaches real world logic and even skills to young teens the longer they play. It not just a video game, it literally is an escape to another world, it IS an experience if you are willing to understand.
I played this game for a few years and then quit, but couldn't stop returning time and time again. I think I'm finally free of the pull but the game was really awesome
Eve is a fun game. I played it for about 4 years. But it turns into more like a job and It was impossible to play "casually" at a higher level. I was not satisfied with what I could accomplish in a short gaming session and playing the game more and more hours was affecting my real life negatively and I had to quite. It would be great if EVE had more things to do casually. It would also be great if Eve had like a gladiator mode where you could do smaller skirmish battles in high security space against other players.
I believe, NPSI fleets are what you’ve described. I had the same problem with available session time. And NPSI community is a nice answer at the moment. You might consider giving it a try : )
someone explain what eve is exactly? I tried it and the intro left me with the impression theres nothing to do and that it was boring. What am i missing if i get past the first phase of the game ?

@@ArtemKopylov And now you see why EVE still holds onto it's real-time grind system. Makes people think they have time & money "invested" in the game.
I remember when my cousin was obsessed with this game like 15 years ago. I can't believe this game is still going strong.

Great stuff! Thank you The Escapist for doing EVE online justice with a top tier video documentary.
Thank you, so much, for the captions! I like not having to rely on TH-cam's auto closed captioning.
I remember playing Earth & Beyond when I first was told about EVE online. I've not played it for at least 7 years. But the ride I had was amazing.
I also came from Earth and Beyond, which I started in early 2000, then EVE around 2003, Earth and Beyond is free now and still has a community. haha
Great doc! I played the game for about 7 years, I always have an itch to return.
This coming out while I am on vacation on Iceland is a gift. Thanks! :)
I will always play Eve and follow it's story. In Iceland now! It's amazing.
Iceland looks beautiful, I want to go there
I was in Iceland for Fanfest as well! Love it and hope it has the opportunity for 20 more years.

How has no one pointed out just how big of a sociopath Hilmar must be to build a game with the end goal of causing more social drama and "death"
One of the best, if not The best game I've ever played! I love it, and always will! Keep up the good work and fly safe! o7
Thank you!
As an early 2005 player at one point EVE for me was the greatest game I ever played. I have moved away from it for the last few years and it lost a bit of its sparkle at some point. Its interesting that they mention the UI as actually for me some parts of it got worse with time rather than better although that was not helped by the addition of my features that all needed to have their own way of being interacted with.
This was really interesting and entertaining, thank you. Great game, and yes i also do enjoy the Scope updates
Is that a teaser at the end!? :O
Lol I remember the days torpedoes went off like nuclear explosions, it was satisfying but in huge battles it would crash players lol. It's insane how much the game has improved/change and evolved since those days. If there is a few things I miss in this game, it's the combat, players and music. It really is unique in this regard, I can't tell you all the unique individuals I've met playing this game, and how much they taught me, and it was always sad to see a longtime friend leave the corporation for Lowsec/Null sec.. But that is just the way the game works, just like real life, your friends get a job in another state for example, and move on with their new lives. No other game has given me such an personal experience quite like Eve. Eve is brutal, and it will NOT hold your hand. And some people may not like it for this reason some may view this game as math class/economics class, but I loved Eve for this realism. No one holds your hand in reality, you HAVE to communicate and make friends in order to move forward in this life, and Eve teaches real world logic and even skills to young teens the longer they play. It not just a video game, it literally is an escape to another world, it IS an experience if you are willing to understand.
The games I loved the most, the games I hated the most... But the games I always come back to... just for the emotional rollercoaster...CCP great job.
spent nearly 15 years in EVE. Great MMO Era, second to best after Ultima Online.
I played this game for a few years and then quit, but couldn't stop returning time and time again. I think I'm finally free of the pull but the game was really awesome
alot of people are half lit on mining fleets. yep 100% still the same and the rorq pilot fell asleep to
Simply beautiful.
hey I got a mention!! 😄😄😄
Thank you for this.
May the next 20 years be only the begining! Thank you for Eve CCP, thank you.
Praise the Space Pope
Eve is a fun game. I played it for about 4 years. But it turns into more like a job and It was impossible to play "casually" at a higher level. I was not satisfied with what I could accomplish in a short gaming session and playing the game more and more hours was affecting my real life negatively and I had to quite. It would be great if EVE had more things to do casually. It would also be great if Eve had like a gladiator mode where you could do smaller skirmish battles in high security space against other players.
I believe, NPSI fleets are what you’ve described. I had the same problem with available session time. And NPSI community is a nice answer at the moment. You might consider giving it a try : )
Factional Warfare for casual PvP. Abysal running for casual isk making. It is all there mate.
awesome Documentary
A hidden gem
someone explain what eve is exactly? I tried it and the intro left me with the impression theres nothing to do and that it was boring.
What am i missing if i get past the first phase of the game ?
You need to find your own path in EVE Online as with any sandbox
This is so good
yeah, this is EVE !
NetEase should watch and learn from this video.
