Ten Ton Hammer has posted the results of an interview with CCP Games' Arnar Gylfason, Content Director for the company's sci-fi MMO, EVE Online. The interview focuses on the company's first boxed expansion, Apocrypha, which will add a variety of new content including wormhole anomalies and epic mission arcs.

Ten Ton Hammer: What makes a wormhole significantly different than, say, a deadspace instance? Why should players take a break from PvPing to explore these anomalies?
Players need not take a break from PvPing to head into wormhole space. In fact, it might be the best place to ambush juicy targets. For the non-PvPers there will be a whole host of new complexes inside wormhole space with really profitable materials awaiting procurement. Why would you take a break from Empire space? Why leave the safety of your Alliance home? A sense of real adventure. Great riches proportionate to the risk. A chance to be a pioneer all over again in some of the most dynamic, deadly and beautiful space you can imagine.

Ten Ton Hammer: One of the most anticipated features of Apocrypha - especially for newer players - is the idea of epic mission arcs. Will the early stages of these mission arcs be accessible for new players fresh out of the trial? Will the rewards for completing stages of each arc be substantial?
The first iteration of the epic mission arcs will in fact be integral to the new player experience. It will lead you into higher level missions, give you a sense of how big New Eden is and reward you for the time and valor you invest. Rewards? Of course, that’s the only way agents can get pilots to fly for them!
