Gamereactor has managed to speak to Hilmar V. Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games on the current state of EVE Online and plans for the future. The interview looks like it’s there to entice new players to the game, something EVE seems to be doing pretty well at the moment.

Along with announcing that the next expansion in the EVE saga will be available March 10th and that retail cpoies will finally be hitting store shelves on March 12th, he also discusses some of the history of the company with 400 employees at present, with 300 of them focused on the next expansion which is set to include Tech 3 and wormhole exploration.
