CCP is a remarkably innovative game company. Eve Online is now pretty much unique in being an MMO where the fun content comes from interacting with other players, not running through content designed by the game company. The game has uniquely good crafting and economics systems. The technology is amazing, from the massive single cluster server to the application of Stackless Python. And the Dust 514 integration is interesting too. The actual interaction between the two games is pretty thin; some occasional big events delivered asynchronously. But it's all set in the same environment and in theory player actions in one game could affect the other. I'd love to see more of this kind of innovation in online game design.
