Last summer, EVE Online was rocked with a surprising, invasion. Player alliances had to eve echoes isk drop what they were doing to defend their starbases from an attack that lasted days, even calling in-progress wars away. It was a twist in a story developer CCP Games has unveiled involving alien factions which have all set their sights on claiming a piece of EVE Online galaxy for themselves. And players can choose which side of the war they want to battle on.

Today, CCP Games announced the third and last phase of EVE Online's Invasion growth which, over the coming months and months, will have"lasting consequences in New Eden, ensuring that life in the cluster will never be the same again."

It's not clear precisely how the upgrade will roll out -- the suspense and mystery have played a part in keeping players but Invasion's last action will introduce two new factions for players to obtain standings with. The new faction is Edencom, which reflects the forces of the human empires that gamers have been allied with because EVE first introduced 17 decades ago.

By becoming involved in skirmishes happening across different sectors of EVE Online, players can improve their reputation with those factions and earn rewards. With this phase of the ongoing war, the two sides are also releasing guards and some new weapons, hinted in a video from EVE Online news business.

CCP Games isn't saying what will happen next, but they are promising an epic conclusion coming later that summer--and it better be. "Players will have to make their choice carefully."

Additionally, it helps that Wei Su, one of the producers at NetEase directing the work on Eve Echoes, is an EVE Online veteran himself with over a decade of playing experience in Eve Echoes. Creating and facilitating open lines of communications between the players and developers has always been part of the approach of CCP for developing EVE Online, so it makes sense to exist heading into the beta for Eve Echoes. A truth about EVE Online is that it needs a copious amount of clicking tedious menu navigation and the display around to perform virtually anything in Eve Echoes. For many diehard EVE gamers, the freedom is part of the fun and buy EVE Mobile ISK justifies the huge effort required that those complex game tools finally provide.
