What made them go for the mobile version of Eve Online?
Wei Su, Senior Producer at NetEase said that they wanted to expand the influence of the game and also attract new players. In order to make new players experience the charm of the game, it was necessary to look at mobile gamers. Though it was challenging, they are honored to take it. During the open beta launch in December 2019, the server was crashed because they underestimated the number of players. Now they are completely prepared. They are currently working on the feedback received from the last open beta test and actively working on new features.
