EVE Online is, after all, the only successful single shard server MMO.
MMORPG Managing Editor Jon Wood attended last weekend's EVE Fan Fest. During his time there, Jon learned a lot about EVE developers, its players and the community that the two groups have built together. See what Jon has to say about EVE's community and then let us know what you're thinking in the comments.
EVE's Fanfest is unique in the industry, and might just be the grandest fan gathering of them all. Not because of the impressive planning and presentation that makes up the event, and not because there is anything less about the fans of other MMOs who attend their favorite games' gatherings dutifully. Rather because of the nature of the game itself. EVE Online is, after all, the only successful single shard server MMO.
