Greetings.
Quick history lesson: As EVE Online evolved over the years there was an alarming trend— there seemed to be more and more botters in high security space and this was starting to destroy EVE's economy. One man realised how dangerous this was for the game, and he decided that he'd had enough. His name was James 315 and he started the CODE movement.
Fast forward to the present day, EVE is still a thriving sandbox packed with player interaction. In EVE no man or woman can escape being affected by other players.
Now Elite Dangerous has solo mode so this is not the case. So why am I telling you this? It's simple, CODE stand for player interaction. When the hours wear on and you tire of the company of simple, predictable NPCS, CODE will be there. When you've figured out Elite Dangerous and you long for more of a challenge, CODE will be there.
CODE embody the spirit of the pioneer— when the masses say that the long distance transport of freight is impossible, the likes of CODE invent railroads.
When popular opinion is that an all open PVP game environment would be a constant bloodbath, the likes of CODE implement their own government and their empire thrives.
For most of you, there will come a time that you realise PvE is hideously boring. You'll have ground for weeks on end, and finally reach the ship of your dreams.... and then suddenly it will hit you.
You'll put your head in your hands and say: "What have I done?"
At that moment CODE and their ilk will be there with open arms, and that's why I consider them among the saviours of EVE Online and Elite Dangerous.
