It's cool. My only issue is with the content - I wish I could make the videos larger, or go directly to the youtube link or the full-sized image, or make the videos full-screen.

So I went to the eveisreal website today.

Thoughts:
The website is totally unusable. Don't know why the hell anyone ever thought that that website would be accessible, it takes so long to load a page you need to be doing something else as well. The point I am trying to make is when I think of the websites I visit looking for information and amusement, I like clean, precise and amusing.

The flash interface takes so long between loads that I get bored before I've looked at 2 or 3. There's no excuse for such a pathetic user experience in this age of instants. Think more like failblog.org, the ability to dwell on a piece of content for as long or as short as you like and not a 15 second wait between each piece of material.

I hate to see such an idea with good potential for helping people who might enjoy eve find it, have such a pathetic implementation.

Advice: Rework the entire website so that content is organized but accessible. Think in terms of the way google dominates the search engine market by being innovative and intuitive. Just make it clean and convenient, and the content will speak for itself.

Hm.. Anyone else noticed that the site is up already?

http://www.eveisreal.net/

Pretty cool too, I'll be spending a few hours there for sure.

Pity it's all propaganda sumbmitted by CCP arsekissers that shows none of the awfulness of Incarna. Talk about bad timing for a promotion :-D

---

/sigh.. yeah, cuz what I really want to watch are a bunch of "why ccp blows" videos instead.... (sic)

Choose your battles; you really don't have to be a butthead over ever little thing ccp does. At any rate you'd make more friends with a more positive attitude.

Actually the protests and hilarious Door posts, CQ screwing up posts, etc have been the most fun I've had in Incarna. I've also heard many others remark on the same thing in-game.

You might want to check that you're using a modern browser like Chrome and that it's up to date? Or maybe get better internet service? It loads almost instantly for me and is no problem at all to navigate (though it's not perfect, it could use some tweaks).

Have to thank you all at CCP and the ppl who came up with such a concept. I think it just made my eve experience all the more real.

:)

I can now say say "I was there."

thank you for posting some of the photos I edited myself for my corp and for the EVE universe
I took all the screenshots used myself and as I mentioned I edited them as well just for fun.

I hope you guys keep doing things such as the EvE is real website.

Earlier today, milestone two in the EVE is Real museum was reached. Sadly, we discovered that there was a lot of click fraud and gaming of the sharing feature. As a result, we’ve reset the second level milestone to a level that indicates sharing that was done by actual humans. This translates to about 4,000 or so actual shares, which is too few in number to have unlocked level two.

Oh, the irony. A CCP-sponsored initiative involving actively fraudulent behavior by participants.

You get what you preach, despite EVE being 'just a game.' Heavily encourage dishonesty and thievery in the moral vacuum of EVE and it is unrealistic to expect that people will take the moral high-ground with your OOG initiatives.

Plus AUR is a currency. Greed rules all else, especially when it comes to EVE players.
