392s congrats to hydra reloaded for finally

401s the alliance warning is back uh and we
403s owe it all to you guys in the community

416s root for your favorite teams
418s and uh yeah just been incredible to have
420s the competitive spirit back yeah and you
423s guys also unlocked undocked quite a
426s bunch of times often together with us
428s venturing to different places
431s over the cluster
433s writing more chapters in the if online
435s story
437s you set new records of kills in a single
439s lowsec system you established totality
442s day
443s as a celebration of the culmination
445s point of the triglavian invasion in new
448s eden
449s however your stories not always end up
452s with a bloodbath sometimes
455s uh there are just pilots that need help
458s or people
459s who are finding themselves in crisis
461s situations
463s that just need a bit of support
465s and
466s time and time again you guys proved to
469s be the best the most generous
472s gaming online community out there and
475s since the inception of the plex for good
477s program the amount of contribution is
480s absolutely staggering and ccp helmet
482s will talk to you about it a little more
485s just in a few seconds
487s further
489s we found a way together to help
491s scientists in the middle of the pandemic
494s to better understand the immune
497s system's response to covet 19 producing
500s data that would not have otherwise
502s existed
504s you also paid tribute to those
507s capsuleers who are no longer with us
509s preserving
511s uh their
512s memory in the hearts and minds of your
515s corpmates
516s friends and family
519s uh and you also created incredible
521s accomplishments the furious fwst
524s involved thousands of players uh frank
527s was there i actually jammed brisk almost
530s the entire time so you can thank me
531s later
533s uh but yeah there is just uh an
535s incredible amount of uh record-breaking
538s going on in eve and it's it's amazing to
540s see that after almost 20 years you guys
542s can still break the record books
545s uh yeah
548s there are some other records you guys
550s broke too
551s uh i am also going to take credit for
553s this one because i jammed brisk so much
555s you decide to take some ships that can't
557s be jammed uh you guys went to m2 and
560s just said hey let's have a massive titan
562s brawl
562s and that's exactly what guys did and
564s destroyed a heck of a lot of them
567s it is the most costly battle in eve
569s online's glorious history so uh credit
572s to you guys i'm sure actually i know
574s several of you here have lost titans in
576s that fight
577s so uh
578s it's fine yeah there's
581s there's landfall beer here you can you
582s can drown your sorrows
584s uh but yes not every record uh has to be
588s pvp related uh in fact sigma signal
590s cartel showed us this a few times uh ksa
594s set the record for the first capsuleer
596s to completely circumnavigate eve online
603s but you know the the apple doesn't far
606s fall far fro fall from the tree uh
609s enrique arnolds as you can see here also
612s from signal cartel took a note from his
614s now ceo katya and circumnavigated uh all
618s of new eden every single system in just
621s 224
624s days
625s also he did this without dying
627s which is absolutely nuts i can barely go
629s anywhere without dying so congrats to
632s enrique
633s for your guinness record uh world record
636s and if anyone thinks that they can top
638s that
639s you've got the 224 days to prove it
648s we've also welcomed a whole lot of new
649s pilot steve online in the last couple
651s years uh thanks to our korean
653s localization korean is now a supported
655s language uh so that is uh awesome
658s hopefully there are some korean
659s capsuleers here
660s uh and then we've also blossomed into
663s japan again with our official relaunch
665s into japan
667s i know if you're a fan of the alliance
668s hornet platinum sensitivity
670s credits this to their success so
673s already making a mark on new eden
677s uh and if that's not enough it's not
678s just languages it's other platforms as
680s well
681s our collaboration with apple brought the
683s native mac client to eve online uh
685s supporting the m2 architecture which is
687s very cool or the m1 architecture sorry
690s i'm thinking about m2 again i've got
692s titans on the mines
694s but absolutely fantastic work there
697s you'll hear a little bit more about that
699s a little bit later on
701s we all also expanded to the epic game
703s store so new people can find eve
706s uh more people to shoot always a better
708s thing
708s and of course eve anywhere which allows
711s you to uh
712s play eve on any browser and again you'll
715s be hearing a little bit more about that
717s a bit later on but i'm sure some of you
719s here will probably use that so you can
721s manage your skill cues while you're gone
725s uh and then who knows where we're
728s expanding to next actually i know but
729s you guys don't
731s well you will soon and it's awesome and
733s exciting
735s yeah and obviously together with you the
737s game has also been constantly evolving
740s in the last few years we saw an
742s abundance of
744s updates balance changes live events
747s technical improvements and a plethora of
750s new tools for you to play with
753s and it's always fascinating to see how
756s astute capsuleers
758s try to constantly adapt to the
760s ever-evolving world of if online
763s often achieving feasts that fits fists
766s maybe as well but fits that go way
769s beyond our wildest imaginations
772s and sometimes you just make testicles
774s with the fleet formation feature and
776s that's okay yeah
780s our relationship with the community is
781s actually something that we're really
783s really proud of uh hearing your feedback
786s uh kind of uh listening to you when
788s there's updates uh what you guys want to
790s see uh whether it's on the forums on
793s reddit on podcasts
795s um pretty much anywhere we we listen and
798s we're always happy to have this like
800s what i think is an incredibly special
802s relationship with you guys uh it's
804s unique to gaming i can't think of
806s another one that does it and frankly we
808s just wouldn't be here without you so
810s thank you for that
817s there are now more ways though to chat
819s with us uh people here in the audience
821s you probably know this we
822s opened our eve online discord server a
824s few months ago and invited you guys here
826s uh but anyone watching now we're
828s officially launching it so you can go to
830s discord.gg eve online add the eve
833s discord server you can talk to us have
835s fun and especially if you're here at fan
837s fest you can coordinate events see what
839s other people are up to and just
841s run into random capsuleers it's a it's a
844s great way to organize
845s or even just share some great pictures
848s absolutely and
849s again at the end of the day it all boils
851s down to the fact that if online would
855s not have been such an amazing
856s life-changing experience if it wouldn't
859s be
859s uh for you and we're continually humbled
863s and inspired by the people in this
865s community
866s and you guys are what keeps us going it
869s is an utmost privilege to be a part of
872s this
873s phenomenon that seemingly transcends the
876s digital boundaries of new eden
879s and we want to thank you for that for
881s being here and for deciding to spend
883s your time with us today
885s and on that note i would like to invite
888s on stage the
889s ceo of ccp games hilmal peterson
904s thank you camille
907s well
908s it's been a while
912s so
913s little did we know when we were
914s celebrating the 15 years of eve online
917s that uh there would be a four year gap
920s um
921s from having fun fest and having this
922s wonderful experience that fanfest is
925s of course we did the
927s madness as usual
929s people staring at horses
931s ccp games games
933s cosplay
934s amazing times celebrating 15 years of
936s him online
938s and we did take it on the road so a lot
941s of us went around the world to meet uh
944s some of you and some of you on the
946s stream
947s um
948s but uh the fact that that little gap
951s year we were planning would turn into
953s four years of a gap
955s just wasn't something we were preparing
956s for
958s this process of sharing our passion for
961s eve online
962s so much a part of
964s how we do and make the game
966s i think it was not really fully
968s understood and appreciated for us how
971s kind of planted invaders
973s when we all had to go and cancel
975s everything
977s and do this for two years
979s um
980s i want to do a special thanks to
981s everyone at tcp
983s we of course
985s run the company without missing a beat
987s throughout the period
989s but
990s while everyone is very happy you see
992s this is kind of the first week of
995s running ccp on zoom and teams
999s it started to set in like
1001s after two years of doing it we're
1003s extremely happy to be back
1005s in the office in reykjavik and london
1008s unfortunately not in shanghai our people
1010s in shanghai are experiencing
1013s some of the worst lockdown i think we
1014s have ever seen
1016s and a big shout-out to them
1018s but here in ekkovic we're not only
1020s parking our new building in kroska
1022s we're also back with all of you here
1026s uh but not only did we have like corona
1029s to deal with we also have the volcano
1031s a lot of has gone on
1033s and obviously a volcano in iceland is
1036s more like a
1037s opportunity to party
1042s here we roll with the punches
1044s make the best of it
1045s and we did get a lot on like
1049s the guys went a little bit over this eve
1050s anywhere
1054s localization skinner's record but also a
1057s big project during lockdown was the
1059s release eve online in china again so we
1062s released a new version of serenity
1065s early in 2020 in the middle of lockdown
1068s and then we released two versions of
1070s evacos in collaboration with natis
1072s uh in august 2020 and august 2021 so
1076s there is a lot been done
1078s of course the mac version of human line
1080s which is a tip of a big iceberg of tech
1083s renovation underneath
1085s we went pretty deep to
1087s remake all of the graphics and
1088s infrastructure for eve to be able to
1090s make a mac merchant it enables us to do
1093s a lot more in the future
1095s we'll also experiment it by pushing the
1096s boundaries uh on what can be done with
1098s eip with collaborations and learned a
1101s lot from that epic store etc
1105s it's been quite a thing
1107s and it's great to be back here with all
1108s of you to kind of share our passion for
1111s eve
1111s uh in multiple languages now of course
1113s we have localized all around the world
1116s and we just wanna like deeply welcome
1118s you and thank you for the journey in
1121s this four years where we haven't really
1122s been able to meet
1133s and a lot happens in four years so here
1136s are some interesting statistics so 63
1139s percent of ccp employees today have
1142s never been too farfest
1147s and what you would not think is that 57
1151s of currently players that are playing
1153s game online today this week uh started
1156s after the last fantastic
1159s this is something that we tend to forget
1161s because a lot of us have been here a
1163s while
1165s and we think like it's uh kind of a lot
1168s the same people meeting again and again
1169s we have a bad rock of people that have
1171s been involved in even land for packets
1173s but even line is a little bit like a
1174s river there's a people coming in and out
1177s all the time and then kind of the better
1179s builds up over time so there's a lot of
1182s people that are not only working at tcp
1184s but in the player community that are
1186s never experienced fanfest
1188s so please take care when you see some of
1191s the our newer and csb employees that
1194s this would be their first fun fest there
1196s is like a special look i think we all
1198s know it by now you can kind of see
1200s people yeah that's your first one isn't
1202s it
1204s yeah i remember when it was my first one
1207s it was in 2004
1211s uh speaking of that uh it's a bit of a
1213s of a taser vote to be back here in
1215s louisville
1216s so
1217s we did our last event here in 2011 and
1220s then we moved to harfpa we were actually
1222s the first event in harper in 2012. thank
1224s you iceland for building it it's pretty
1226s awesome
1228s and it is awesome but it is very much
1230s its own thing like heartbuys harpa kinda
1232s looks like a space station but it
1234s doesn't really look like an eve space
1235s station so
1237s we've been getting feedback throughout
1238s the years that people miss a bit when we
1240s were here and we could kind of more
1242s theme the event
1243s and it's a different experience here
1245s so now we're back in lotus hook
1248s trying out some new things we have this
1250s gigantic screen for example
1252s and i'm sure you're like me wondering
1254s how many multi-boxes we could fit on
1255s this
1259s we should run a test at some point
1264s yeah
1266s it would be a lot
1267s um
1268s and i'm kind of amazed that we can
1270s render cheat that as well on this
1272s gigantic screen
1273s again evidence to the tech investments
1275s we've been doing uh we have a lot of new
1278s stuff to play with which you will be
1279s seeing throughout the days
1281s but we're also here in a bit of a kind
1284s of a what's here we say alpha test for
1286s next year because next year eve turns 20
1289s years old so now we're kind of uh
1292s working out the kings we're also out of
1293s practice a bit halting fan fest so as we
1296s go through the journey here please give
1298s us feedback on this
1299s please give us crazy ideas on what we
1301s can do here next year
1303s because then we're going to go berserk
1305s it's 20 years of him online start of the
1307s third decade so this is kind of the
1309s trial run hopefully
1311s there won't be another pandemic or
1313s something to screw the boots
1315s but here we are
1317s so if players were good uh the guys were
1319s mentioning this a bit amazing
1322s amazing results for the last pledge for
1324s good it's really amazing
1326s and we're now up to 1.2 million dollars
1328s that the email line community has
1330s contributed in helping
1333s disasters around the world whether they
1335s are natural ones who are made by people
1337s such as the war in ukraine terrible
1339s situation but you guys really have
1341s stepped up
1342s ever since we got the call out from the
1344s community during the tsunami in
1346s southeast asia and we kind of started we
1348s didn't have plex back then it was kind
1349s of electronic game type codes if you
1351s remember that
1352s it was kind of etcs for good
1355s and
1357s this is really amazing like
1359s you keep on inspiring us with
1361s your ability to come together and make a
1363s difference
1364s please give yourselves a great applause
1367s [Applause]
1376s so uh but we're here to talk all about
1379s if and uh
1381s eve
1383s uh started from humble beginnings here
1385s we see some releases when evenland came
1388s out
1389s in exactly 19 years
1392s from now
1393s it's actually even line's birthday right
1395s now right now
1406s our gamers turned 19 years old like
1409s science fiction
1411s and it's a very abstract concept like 19
1414s years of a game what does it really mean
1417s i mean some of you here like me have
1419s been here all along and you've kind of
1421s seen it in its stages and it's kind of
1422s you lose the plot sometimes
1424s so i
1426s i got permission
1427s uh
1428s from eva to show this picture again
1431s um
1433s this is my child deva
1435s was born
1436s just after eve
1439s and
1440s i'm there playing him online
1444s i am mining park for uh thorax i lost
1447s you can
1448s you can check that fanfest keynote 2013.
1451s i tell the story when i lost my first
1452s page in the online
1454s i am their conflicted pseudo-fix eve or
1458s repay the spaceship i lost
1460s trying to do both and
1462s juggled my child at the same time
1465s and we did like during lotto we had a
1467s bit of fun with it and we reenacted the
1469s scenario
1481s thank you eva for signing the gtp
1483s hardware for this
1486s so this is what 19 years
1489s does to you
1492s it makes the screens slimmer
1499s and next month ccp will turn uh 25 years
1503s old
1510s we're entering some unicorn starters in
1513s the game industry of of surviving for
1515s this or this long
1518s ccp is sometimes called like the
1520s cockroach of the game industry
1523s nothing kills us
1527s and me myself actually celebrated 20
1529s years of working at csp for a while it's
1531s actually now 22 years
1534s and since i make the rules i decided to
1537s get the 200 sort for 20 years
1540s actually joey north was ahead of me and
1542s he got a shotgun but uh
1545s this is more my thing people up north by
1547s the way they have to hunt their own food
1549s so it kind of makes sense and there are
1550s polar bears and more there
1553s uh but i wanted to give you kind of a
1557s bit of a high level update on kind of
1558s what we're up to
1560s here are some pictures from our sort of
1562s internal communication material about
1564s the
1565s strategy of ccp
1567s so
1568s we have been busy kind of since 2018
1572s uh setting him online off for a third
1574s decade of success
1576s uh which obviously starts next year so
1578s there's been a lot of focus in in
1580s getting that done
1582s we continue to explore new worlds and uh
1585s strengthening the company
1588s um but i also wanted to discuss this a
1590s little bit like why are we still playing
1592s if like uh
1594s i've now dedicated half of my conscious
1596s life to that game
1597s why is that
1599s and of course it's the fleet fights and
1600s the graphics and and whatnot but we did
1603s a major study
1604s uh actually since life fun fest we got
1607s ccp ghost
1609s to go and investigate
1611s what is really the reason why people are
1613s playing
1614s and
1615s we kind of knew high level we know
1617s people join for the graphics they stay
1619s for the community but
1620s it's not a very actionable
1623s uh
1624s it's too high level so when you have a
1625s lot of new people it's a new need to
1627s educate and how you how you join the
1629s online dev team and what is the point of
1631s all this uh it's good to have deploy
1634s science into it
1635s we came away with this which we call the
1637s eve effect
1638s so uh the conclusion was kind of
1642s uh people play him online because of the
1644s friendships that they make inside the
1646s game so our community is actually made
1649s up of individual relationships often
1652s when you think of the community as a
1654s mass aggregate it becomes like a a
1657s singular thing but even online is held
1659s together by individual friendships
1661s that have formed and been tested over
1663s decades
1664s and people keep calling out that even
1667s line has also given them life skills
1670s uh where they have grown to be the best
1672s versions of themselves i've certainly
1674s followed uh the career of some eve
1677s players inside the game and outside of
1678s the game
1680s and it's one of my proudest kind of
1683s feelings about eve is to see how much
1686s people have grown
1687s and how much they attribute that to eve
1690s online people that have
1692s yeah it's
1694s people that have kind of grown in their
1695s careers
1697s many people say like they are the go-to
1699s person for conflict management
1701s um
1704s there's nothing about even line that
1705s prepares you for that
1708s and
1709s and recruitment strategies obviously
1712s excel of the washoe we have some news on
1714s that later on
1716s so it's really this this is why people
1718s play online for decades this is why we
1720s work on it it is the relationships it's
1723s the friendships we've made through this
1725s journey like 73 percent of the people we
1728s talked to and did service on said
1731s they've made new friends because of him
1733s online
1734s and
1735s having friends is very important i think
1738s we saw that during the pandemic where
1740s the fact that we had
1742s friendships and relationships to pull on
1745s um as you could almost say like if
1747s players when they saw we are now running
1749s the world from the basements
1751s we got this
1754s we've been preparing for this for uh 20
1756s years
1760s and
1760s and then did you do
1763s but we're also dealing with this in the
1765s world today the loneliness epidemic and
1768s it has been studied
1770s that the biggest correlation for health
1772s and happiness in life
1774s is how many meaningful relationships you
1776s have
1778s it's a great predictor of that than the
1780s negative ones like smoking
1784s being overweight not moving etc having
1787s friends destroys everything of that you
1790s can
1791s it's really fulfilling in your life you
1792s could argue it is the purpose of life
1794s and the fact that we have all been here
1796s together forcing relationship for almost
1799s 20 years
1800s i think we all feel that and we we feel
1802s why we are part of this community for
1805s such a long time it is that tapestry
1807s that has built up around the game the
1809s average player has more friends than
1812s your average person in
1813s boarding reality
1817s and this has given us insights which we
1819s will be deploying more and more as we
1821s move forward
1822s we've made a bit of a theory around it
1825s or like ccp ghost has made it
1828s the formula of how you make a friend
1830s there's actually a formula for it
1832s it's shockingly invented by the cia i
1835s think something about like
1838s intelligence
1840s i mean obviously you guys know this like
1842s intelligence is gathered from
1844s making friends and enemies so proximity
1847s frequency duration and most importantly
1850s intensity
1852s this is where evil line shines
1854s whether it's pvp shakes or feeling that
1856s somebody has your back this is really
1859s the reason why this game keeps on going
1863s and the relationships are many form i
1865s used to have to marry people myself now
1867s the pop does it it's uh
1871s thank you pope
1874s [Applause]
1882s okay but why are we still investing in
1884s eve i've always and often been
1887s challenged by this uh we obviously have
1889s had boards of investors throughout the
1891s years where people are like challenging
1894s this notion we spent a lot of money on
1897s reinvesting in online and of course it
1899s feeds into the
1901s updates we're giving you
1903s a few weeks ago
1904s about raising the prices uh and i wanted
1907s to just talk a little bit about that
1909s here
1910s obviously we have not raised the prices
1912s since
1912s q1 2004. so it's been a while here's the
1916s newsletter from paklan
1918s and we are just looking at the world
1920s which is
1922s heading into
1923s pretty new territory
1925s so this is inflation data from the us
1929s iceland tends to be an early adopter of
1932s economic trends
1934s so we've been getting the preview of
1937s what's about to come for a while i'm
1939s sure if you look at the typical
1940s icelandic newspaper you might see in a
1942s stand here you will see seven percent
1944s inflation last month like it's been kind
1946s of crazy
1948s when you're buying ten dollar beers in
1949s iceland pretty sure you you get the
1951s point so uh it is just frankly more
1954s expensive to run evenline than it used
1957s to be
1959s and we have been growing the eve team
1961s considerably since uh 2018
1964s so we've been building up two words
1966s being able to have 150 developers work
1969s on online which takes a lot of
1971s organization like the more people that
1973s are working on if the more complicated
1975s it tends to be to organize people you
1977s don't just add devs and magic happens
1980s it's uh
1981s like i said before 60 of ccp employees
1984s have never been to fanfest like now
1986s finally they get to experience what it's
1988s all about
1989s and we've been doing a lot of deep uh
1992s foundation investments so we've been uh
1995s 64-bit clients mac versions cytotex 12
1999s new tooling for developers the
2002s environment of working on eve online has
2004s kind of degraded over the years and we
2006s have now been since 2018 doing a massive
2009s investment in foundations
2011s that were always pushed away into the
2014s future because there was never time to
2016s do the proper things that were needed to
2020s improve the working conditions for
2022s developers because now it's 2020. most
2025s of online was made in
2026s uh 20 years ago
2028s and we have been on this journey of
2030s changing the strategy we've changed the
2032s leadership we've improved our discipline
2035s interaction like technology game design
2037s art etc
2039s we've worked on our creative vision
2040s we've streamlined and aligned team to
2042s purposes operations a lot of investment
2045s in data to be informed by the facts
2047s rather than just intuition
2050s building the new player experience and
2052s we're kind of getting out of the depths
2054s now so as you see what we'll be showing
2056s in the keynote i hope you appreciate
2058s that
2059s there has been a lot of work underneath
2061s that enables what is about to come now
2063s into the third decade
2066s and it would have been great to have
2067s fanfest all the way along to give you an
2069s update on this but at least here we are
2073s okay uh but uh farm fest was not the
2076s first we actually had this uh fanfest in
2078s china recently so like i said one of the
2080s big elements we did in 2020 was the
2083s release in china
2085s uh through our strategic partnership
2086s inductees we have been kind of
2089s revitalizing even china
2092s and we're really now at uh at the point
2093s where we have a really vibrant version
2096s of serenity running over there
2098s and uh there have been some amazing
2100s things on the battlefront
2103s so
2104s if you know the serenity situation there
2105s have been a big huge dominant faction
2107s there called pipc
2109s they have actually split themselves into
2112s two alliances which are now fighting so
2114s we've been having some of the biggest
2115s fights in serenity in this year uh one
2118s even reaching 3 000 p concurrent users
2121s uh which is quite a bit by serenity
2123s standards they're not quite that sort of
2126s 8k like
2127s we are on the global server
2129s so we are having a pretty vibrant
2133s aspect on in china which is really good
2136s and we also made massive changes to how
2138s we organize development of each china
2141s so this is our tef team in shanghai
2143s before they got locked in their homes
2145s two months ago
2146s and they now entirely take care of
2148s serenity so part of our reorganization
2151s is that we've forked eve china
2153s completely so the developers here i will
2155s show on the graph of they're all solely
2156s dedicated to tq and serenity does their
2159s own thing and they're doing pretty wild
2161s things
2162s here's a roguelike
2164s feature that has been developed in
2165s shanghai
2167s which you can kind of
2168s well you can go and play it if you can
2170s read chinese but
2172s it's really pushing the boundaries in a
2173s different way
2175s and
2177s and this is now all accumulating in the
2179s fact that we have a lot going on in the
2181s online like we've even lined on tq
2183s inline or serendi we have ivaco's global
2186s with evokers china we have a new project
2188s in london where we're developing a first
2191s person tutor
2192s we have a project called m5 which is a
2195s mobile forex game and of course we keep
2197s our vr games going
2199s missing from the list are obviously dust
2201s because it's no longer running and spark
2203s which is not really in the evip but
2205s maybe we'll work on that
2207s so evac came out and it's been pretty
2210s amazing over uh
2212s 13 million people have played the
2214s vehicles
2215s uh
2216s it's quite a lot it's really added to
2218s this number of people that have
2219s experienced the vip
2222s and
2223s uh we're here kind of first kind of
2226s because we're here first together in a
2227s while talking about our new project
2229s which is a upcoming
2232s and now i have to read
2234s our peer department has really made sure
2237s i don't give too much away here
2240s so in london we are doing an upcoming
2243s online tactical first person shooter
2248s it is
2249s unannounced the project is unannounced
2254s and we recognize that hard sci-fi
2256s in the universe is something that needs
2258s to exist
2259s and we're committed to do like an
2261s innovative multiplayer atmospheric
2264s experience
2266s and we're really looking forward to talk
2267s more about that but that time is not now
2272s but
2273s but we have here ccp sween
2277s this is a great picture of him but it
2279s doesn't really show how tall he is he's
2280s taller than an eye and that's a good way
2283s to spot him so
2285s he is here to learn about community
2287s development from the best
2289s so mob him and see
2291s how far you get
2296s there might be a secret discord server
2299s somewhere i don't know i just don't know
2301s see how far you get
2303s m5 is uh
2306s is another game we're developing in
2307s shanghai
2308s it is a mobile game
2310s that is coming
2312s out at some point uh and we're kind of
2314s playtesting it internally i
2317s constantly lose in it because everyone
2319s bullies me
2323s but it's kind of a game about
2325s spaceships and multi-domination
2327s but in a bit of a different format so
2329s excited to share more about that with
2331s you
2333s then i wanted to talk a little bit about
2334s this
2335s this is a slide
2337s from fanfest 2017
2339s where we talk about the role of new
2341s technology
2342s in evolving evoline
2345s so of course we did a lot of year
2347s investment from 2013 till 2017
2351s that yielded some of the best vr games
2352s which are still going we are still on
2354s our vr vacation
2356s because the market is just not quite
2358s there yet but we are eager and waiting
2361s for it to really take off we really
2362s believe in that concept their install
2365s base just isn't there
2367s i talked about like understanding the
2368s human brain this kind of sturdy into the
2370s eve effect and all these things help us
2373s developing online better
2375s i talked about computers in the clouds
2377s you have now seen the announcement of
2379s quasar and all the work we've been doing
2380s that that has really helped us
2382s modernizing him online
2384s using machine learning ai etc we've been
2387s investing massively in we now have a
2389s team of 20 people in the data team that
2391s do nothing
2393s but understanding email line trends
2395s through
2397s these kind of tools
2398s and we also talked about blockchain in
2400s 2017
2402s exactly
2405s this is from 2017.
2408s and of course we have made the statement
2409s it's not for tq
2419s uh we hear you loud and clear nobody
2422s needs this in their eve life right now
2424s and it's all good
2429s but we will have a small team that is
2431s going to explore this because a lot of
2434s what these web 3 kids are on about is
2436s about like governance autonomy living
2439s forever etc and we are curious about is
2442s there something here to learn
2443s that we can enhance our craft in the
2446s decades to come
2447s because to make e1 line go on forever
2449s you have to test out things and you have
2451s to adopt new things but as i said not
2454s for tq
2456s this is the plan even line forever and
2459s it's great to be back with you here to
2461s celebrate that
2462s thank you

2860s the volcanic eruptions that we had are
