Attention, intrepid explorers of the virtual void! CCP Games, the mastermind behind the legendary MMO Eve Online, is prepping warp drive to deliver its next galactic odyssey: Eve Frontier. This Ethereum-infused survival saga is gearing up for early access, offering Founder Access packs starting at a mere 30 credits—erm, dollars.
But here’s where things get spicy. These Founder Access packs aren’t just golden tickets to a shiny new game. Oh no. They’re your VIP pass to a closed alpha galaxy—a constantly active, “always-on” server where players can help shape the universe’s destiny.
Three Tiers of Eve Frontier
Priced in three tantalizing tiers, from $30 to $90, these packs include perks so amazing that they might as well come with a monocle and a bow tie. Unique skins? Check. Discord roles? Naturally. Monthly developer streams? Say less. Oh, and premium post-launch playtime? Of course.
The grand voyage kicks off December 10, when Founders gain entry to this experimental cosmos. CCP Games isn’t just throwing players into space with nothing but a pair of space boots, though. Founder Access lets players help carve out a blockchain-powered ecosystem where Ethereum-layer 2 tech (built on Redstone) meets a cornucopia of crypto tokens. Chief among them? The EVE token, poised to be the lifeblood of this brave new world.
A Vision Beyond Gaming
This is no mere cash grab. CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson spells it out in his patented high-orbit vision-speak: “Our long-term vision is to create an open ecosystem built, operated, and governed by the Frontier’s inhabitants themselves.” Translation? This isn’t just a game—it’s a living, breathing petri dish of collaborative spirit, and Founders are the primordial microbes laying the groundwork.
High Stakes and Confidential Missions
Oh, and don’t expect to go blabbing your adventures across the cosmos—an NDA will keep your lips sealed tighter than an airlock on a derelict cruiser. Eve Frontier is still in its experimental phase, but with CCP Games pulling in $40 million in funding (thanks, Andreesen Horowitz), the hype thrusters are set to full burn.
In a universe where “the world is out to get you,” only the bold, the smart, and the blockchain-curious need apply. Will you be among the founders shaping this Ethereum-fueled frontier? Or will you be left orbiting, watching the brave ones rewrite the code of space gaming forever?
