CCP, the developers of the space MMORPG, Eve Online, has announced a new add-on, codenamed Kali. It is said to introduce a feature called Advanced Reactive Content System (ARCS) where political landscape and physical borders of nation-states within the game can be altered dynamically by the players. Eve Online already features this ability somewhat, but it looks like they want to extend upon this. Also, in related news, they plan on updating the graphics of an already great looking game:
Parallel development of an entirely new graphics engine called “EVE Vista” is also underway. The new graphics engine—named “Trinity II”—will take full advantage of the new features and optimizations offered by DirectX 10, which will ship with the new Windows Vista OS. The highly anticipated graphics API will give Trinity II the ability to render far greater detail by leveraging the fully programmable shader pipeline and utilizing the API’s built-in instancing support. The combined technologies will allow CCP to continue building dynamic environments with visual effects that will surpass the already stunning graphical presentation of the game.

EVE is still one of the best looking online games, and the only one I’ve stuck with for 4 years, since mid-beta.
But Kali and DX10 is gonna screw a lot of people over, who can’t and won’t switch to Windows Vista. For those who can barely play the game now, Kali will end the joy. My boyfriends computer won’t be able to use DX10 and Vista. I don’t want Vista on my system, I’m still on Win2k.
