Quantum Rise

As a result of WotLK, Eve has come to a temporary stop, I log on to change skills and that is about it. Handy for Slayfoe’s Bull that should have nice gunnery skills by the time I get fed up of WotLK. I have been trying to get a handle on why Warcraft is more appealing in the immediate and it must simply be that actual humanoid avatars are easier to relate to than spaceships.
A new expansion, Quantum Rise came out in Eve and apart from 2 items I haven’t really seen a change:

Splash screen
Certificates – greatest waste of time and yet strangely compelling
The certificates will make it much easier for a new player to get on in the game by effectively giving them a syllabus of skill-ups to follow. They can then claim a certificate and work towards the next level. Unfortunately I have been quite scatter gunned and yet focused about my training so I don’t qualify for many certificates. These certificates are then either private or public which I presume will help in application to corporations.

I will be back, as I suspect that Eve is better in the long term, it is just that WoW provides more immediate gratification for the moment – we’ll see how that changes once guild drama and raiding starts up.
