A History of Expansions

Eve has many types of history. This particular look is not at the lore of Eve or the events that have both polished and tarnished it's reputation over the years. This is a look at the Expansion's of Eve Online and how they added, changed, reworked, removed, and expanded this game.

Starting with the official launch of Eve Online in 2003 this series follows the game's path through its dev blogs and patch notes across 20 expansions over more than ten years and traces the history of things come, gone, added, and changed.

During the course of creating this series, on May 2nd, 2014, CCP announced that they would be ending the bi-yearly expansions that has marked the first decade of Eve and move forward with a new, more flexible development design.
