Earth And Beyond Users Offered An Upgrade To EVE Online
By Svarthol
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND - CCP, in cooperation with IGN/GameSpy, is offering Earth and Beyond users an upgrade to EVE Online. This is a response to the high number of inquires and downloads CCP has received during the last 48 hours from Earth and Beyond users. These users have been forced to look elsewhere for an alternative Science Fiction Online Game after Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced it would close down Earth and Beyond at the end of summer.
"We were surprised by the strong reaction this announcement has made, and the number of downloads we have received", says Magnus Bergsson, Marketing Manager at CCP. "To meet this demand we have created a special upgrade program to make it easier for these users to explore EVE Online."
The upgrade program will include a no-obligation free trial of EVE Online and a walkthrough of the game by a member of the EVE volunteer group. The EVE volunteer will explain to the user the differences between the two games and ease the transition into EVE from Earth and Beyond.
