EVE Frontier, the “hardcore” survival space MMO that CCP claims is reliant on blockchain technology to function as it does, is evidently taking its in-game economy quite seriously. In fact, CCP Games is hiring a former real-world economist as part of its commitment to “[build] a truly open financial system within a virtual world. ” Introducing Stefán Pórarinsson, the new head of economy for the blockchain MMO, who previously worked at the Central Bank of Iceland.
Pórarinsson’s expertise is being utilized to enhance the management of Frontier’s economy, with initial focuses on pricing, supply and demand, “the integration of digital assets and their influence on in-game economic activity, ” as well as player decision-making. These modifications and future economy-related changes will continue to be implemented through the game’s current paid founder’s access. While the implications for actual gameplay remain uncertain, it appears that Pórarinsson is currently in the data collection phase of his role, as CCP eagerly seeks to communicate that this new appointment will bridge digital and real-world economies.
