EVE Online: Causality

You have entered a universe where the path to glory is paved by one's choices. Those choices do not come without consequence, and every action taken can carry one closer to their highest goals or drag them down to unimaginable depths. EVE Online's Summer 2010 trailer, "Causality," presents a scenario where each participant's decisions lead them to their respective destinations, for better or for worse.

>get blown up in frigate
>take down entire alliance

Man this trailer goes from 0 to 100 real fucking quick.

The most expensive Merlin kill of all time

[cometcolton]

Lose a merlin? Destroy their alliance for it!

[Ares]

Isn't that a recap of the greatest EVE heist ever?

[Precersor]

Just got suicide ganked and lost my to get to

I love Eve Online. Of course, it was confusing as Hek (pun intended), but that's why I love it. It presents challenges you would normally encounter in the real world (economics, politics, military strategy, corporate management, manufacturing, research, communications, corporate theft, manipulation, market scam, etc.).

Right now, I'm an industrialist that can manufacture disposable ships that my alliance uses to go into battle against yours.

When I first watched this video I knew it would take a special kind of asshole to play EVE. I guess at least that means I'm special.

"Eve - Be as much of an ass as you can possibly be."

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

An alliance was destroyed by a carebear. That's the funniest thing ever.

[kassi]

This actually happened in EVE once. I'm so glad they made it into an ad.

[detination]

"Without firing a single shot, you've brought an entire alliance to its knees" I beg to differ, you had to fire quite a few to get so trusted in the first place :P

[MrPuschel]

"Hey i'm the new guy. May i have access to your T2 bpos?"
"Oh hell'yeah, sure!"

[kivakorkoskold]

I feel it appropriate to watch this just after The Judge killed CO2

[doctorx]

This looks awesome. Of course most people won't have the opportunity to do this sort of thing, but the fact that you CAN without moderators stepping in to put you in time out would be a breath of fresh air after World of Warcraft's relatively highly structured setting. I'm 2 days into a trial account for EVE, but I'm thinking seriously about getting a subscription.

[MrNintoku]

Nice thing about the trailer is that it depicts live gameplay but also presents a story that is plausible. Might take a while but with enough effort and patience you'll be able to pull it off.

[ErnestMouse]

Definitely one of the best trailers CCP has ever made. One that isn't just a montage of large glorified fleet battles

[PurelyHypnotic]

@JohnBuckStrange Spelling and punctuation? Thats the best you could do knowing that in eve that spelling doesn't even matter and your judging my intelligence by that? You know damn well that eve takes up your spare time especialy if your in the position to pull off something as intricate as this. Hence i said its for people with no lives a.k.a. people who have nothing better to do.

[fluffycommander]

Wow, all that over a frigate loss....

[Jameson]

I can't wait to get out of hospital and renew my subscription to EVE,

[eddiekart]

Hey, Band of Brothers! Check this out!
