It was a few months ago that CCP put out the call. They asked the players of EVE Online if they wouldn't mind submitting a bunch of voice comms for a secret project they were working on.
Although it was revealed at EVE down Under what the project was, it's only now that we can see the result - a trailer called simply "This is EVE" to explain the game's complicated and ever-changing environment to new players and those who are just curious.
It's a good decision. EVE is a rare thing, a game that is shaped in a lot of ways by the players themselves and their actions. Groups form, alliances are forged and broken, players are attacked and attack others; and it's just grown so much that for someone on the outside it must be terrifying to attempt to fathom. Using the voices of players to tell their stories gets the very people responsible for forging such a virtual universe involved in explaining just what EVE is to them and to others they fly with every day.
You can check it out below, but be warned - this is the uncensored version. There is also a censored version available though if you'd rather watch that one.
