A word from the editor: Dear readers and listeners, now and then we here at Crossing Zebras come across something out there that’s just so good that we want to bring it to you. So it was when the creators of the WESPER documentary podcast reached out to CZ editor Oh Takashawa and told us about their three part series on EVE Online, it’s history and metagame. This is the first part of that series. We hope you’ll enjoy the listen, but it might be especially interesting for those of you new to EVE or that are interested in its rich history. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow: Fall of the Imperium. Now sit back, get a cuppa and enjoy the show. – Niden, Editor-In-Chief

Eve Online is a huge virtual world that looks a lot like our own. Curiously like our own.
