Presenting: Just About EVE Online
Today’s newsletter is a big one. We’re on the cusp of a major milestone in the Just About journey.
We’re thrilled to announce that Just About EVE Online will be our first game-centric community, and is launching with the support of CCP Games! We open the hangar to capsuleers on Monday July 31, but even if you don’t know what a capsuleer is, you should still swing by. Let’s tell you what we’ve got planned.
A new home for EVE players
As our first game-centric community, Just About EVE Online will differ a bit from the two spaces we have now, and will be the prototype for many more to come.
Inspiring and rewarding quality content is the purpose of our Bounty system, and it hasn’t yet had a big enough topic to show its true potential. That’s about to change. Just About EVE has a fully stocked treasury; more than 50 bounties will go live over the first six weeks, rewarding a mix of activities for all players - all with real money.
Whether you want to delve into the nuances of ship fitting, photograph spectacular nebulae, report on the upcoming Alliance Tournament or just share a hot take, there’s a bounty for you. There’s even a mystery bounty which we hope EVE players will enjoy unravelling, with an extra-epic payout awaiting the victor.
When a bounty closes, we’ll not only award winners their share of the pot, we’ll use winning submissions to put together curated content for everyone to enjoy. The deepest guides, the prettiest in-game photography, the most pine-fresh memes. It’s a big step toward the ultimate goals for our unique bounty system.
The future
As with everything on Just About, community feedback is integral to the mission. We hope that EVE players will help us tweak the next wave of bounties to generate even more accurately the kind of content they want to see - and reward its creators.
As the community grows, we hope leaders will emerge and take it over as its mods and curators, and lead it bravely wherever they wish. Even if you don’t play the game, we hope you’ll visit the space to see this process begin. And get excited for when we bring it to whatever you are passionate about.
If you’ve been away from the platform (or are yet to join), come on back to marvel at the new super-speedy experience following this week’s tech update, and get comfy ahead of what is surely, definitely going to be an armada of EVE players next week.
