MMORPG.com is at EVE FanFest, and here on the last day, the developers have released a great deal of new information about the future of the game. Rather than making you wait until we have time to write an in-depth article (which we will in the coming days), we wanted to bring you this hastily put-together overview of what we have learned.

When we released our information on Walking on Stations earlier in the week, we promised you that there would be a number of new and exciting announcements coming out of this year’s FanFest. Today, in a two hour presentation, the folks from CCP have dropped a number of intriguing announcements in our collective laps.

While I am still at the convention center and the event and announcements are continuing to roll out, I wanted to take a few minutes to update you on what we now know about the future of the sci-fi sandbox MMO.

We already know that the company’s winter expansion, Quantum Rise will launch this Tuesday, and so I’ll save more specifics on that for a time when I have a chance to write. Instead, I’m just going to give you a few bullet points to keep you up to speed:

Check out the Breaking News direct from EVE Fanfest.

Damn, looks like I won't be playing any of the other new games coming out next year.

It was a photo finish, and unfortunately we lost and the laptop battery died before we could post the link. 

The link should work properly now.

Top 5 MMOs:
EvE
Ryzom
AO
GW
LotRO

OMG! planetary flight

If these guys add a ground game to Eve i'll never have to play another MMO.... ever!

Great time to be a Eve player, so many good features coming in the near future.

This game has limitless possibilities and in my opinion that's the way it should be in every mmo.

Play what you enjoy, don''t worry about what others are doing. Be a leader, not a follower.

Been playing EVE since 2006 now. It's the only MMO that's kept me this long, and I don't plan on leaving any time in the foreseeable future.

Walking in Stations, Atmospheric flight, quests, customizable Tech 3 ships (mmmmm... lem'me wipe the drool, LOL), it all sounds tasty to me, :)

Other MMO-owners could seriously take a lesson from CCP.

Offer something different and reap the benefits of one of the most dedicated player base ever.

Keep it coming CCP, I'll be here waiting, :) :)

Just wondering how you can loath what has been done to it?  It is a far better game today than it was, I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with that either.  It is still a very harsh universe.  If your favorite fotm configuration got changed, that is just too bad, it is called balance.
