Recently, something from GDC Europe 09 caught my eye. My favorite game's developer, CCP Software, have announced a new console MMO which will tie into my current crack, the EVE Online PC MMO. The new title is "Dust 514", a clever use of the Reykjavik telephone prefix bringing Iceland into the game much as they have using ISK (the same abbr. as Icelandic Kronurs) as the monetary unit in EVE.
Now I can't speculate as to exactly how it might tie into EVE but if it involves taking over planets to gain Soverignity in EVE I'm 10000000% in. I used to play a game called Planetside which was similar, though it was a neverending quest to turn blue to red before red turned back into blue. Not as engrossing and certainly not tied in with any other awesome games of which I have been playing for almost 5 years...(ahem, EVE).
I eagerly await what comes out of CCP Shanghai in the way of Dust 514. Don't let me down guys!
