New Level 4 Agents

Since Apocrypha, one of the ongoing efforts we've been undertaking in Content is the renovation of old missions and deadspace areas. Part of the incentive for this initiative has to do with the fact that a lot of this stuff has been sitting in the game for years and simply needs some freshening up. Just as we've renovated all of our graphics and effects in the last year or so, now we want to make improvements to content. EVE has always been, and must remain, beautiful.

As an example of the sorts of things we're working on, some legacy complexes have literally scores or even hundreds of structures in them, most serving little purpose other than to clutter up the overview; similarly, some missions have massive numbers of small, fast NPCs in them, which is a nuisance especially in level 3 missions and beyond (and of course also increases server load). So we've been sorting through old dungeons, changing out, rebuilding, and reducing the numbers of structures; tweaking NPC numbers; and so on, all with a view to making things run more smoothly.

Another aspect of our content renovation effort concerns the busiest mission hubs. Naturally, the more players we have running missions in and around a given system, the more cluttered those systems become. So, as part of our long-term plan, we've added twenty-three new level 4 agents to TQ and also moved one agent, most of them Caldari (since a substantial majority of players running missions do so in Caldari space).

All of these agents are just far enough away from the busy mission hubs that we hope they'll draw a substantial number of mission-runners over to the new agents and thus help fill up some of the empty space in our growing universe.

So, with no further a due, I give you... your new agents. Just one thing to note about the following table: The "Old Agent" column refers to extant agents in the game who are currently overrun with players. If you currently run missions for an agent from that column, consider trying out the new agent who correlates to that entry instead.

*Note: This agent was moved away from other agents of similar quality who reside the same station, but does not have a newly added agent nearby.

Now all that's left is for you to get out there and make them feel wanted - 'cause there's no agent like a happy agent. And we all want to associate with happy people, right? Right?
