EVE Online: Council of Stellar Management Interview

CCP's Pétur Óskarsson recently spoke to WarCry about EVE Online's experiment in game development democracy, the Council of Stellar Management. In this interview, we talk about the genesis of the idea, timing, scope and more.

WarCry: Are there any limits to how many times a player can be on the Council?

Pétur Óskarsson: Yes, everyone is limited to two terms of six months each. This can be concurrent terms or two terms in total over their lifetime. We want to keep the program a bit more inline with most Democratic states.

As I said before, the first year is going to be hard but we still believe it's worth the effort and worth the time. We really want EVE to become better and hopefully this council will become an essential part of EVE in the future. We're really kind of flying blind here and don't really know what to expect but no guts, no glory.

Read it all after the jump.
