Hot Drop Target: Digital Solaris
I stick a microphone in front of Digital Solaris (full-time forum whorewarrior), who rants with me about the current state of EVE. Like well… everyone else seems to be doing these days. I apologize in advance for the wonky quality of the interview section of the recording.
In what could possibly be the scariest thing ever to come out of CGDC, we’re treated to the following news about EVE.
At CGDC 2010 (Game Developers Conference) held in Shanghai, China, Hilmar V. Petursson, CEO of CCP Games, disclosed a crazy plan that they would connect the Chinese server of EVE Online with its world server in the future… Continue reading
CCP Zulu shows those other devs how it’s done, combo-breaking the recent string of boring, uninformative dev blogs with something players might appreciate: a list of stuff CCP is actually working on.
You can click the link below for the full details, but for now lets look at the breakdown:
Apparently, giving us a month-long tournament of spaceships exploding isn’t enough for the folks at CCP.
As players we’ve been treated to a brand spanking new server cluster. Thanks to the immense downtime associated with that, we’re also getting some free skillpoints.
In gratitude for your patience and after consulting the Council of Stellar Management, we will give an extra pool of skillpoints to all accounts (paying and trial) that were active… Continue reading
As awesome as the video stream is for the latest in EVE Online’s fantastic tournament offerings, pictures can often capture an interesting moment in the middle of all the carnage.

Hot Drop Target: Yon89, Shou Ning
I try to get as many random people as possible to talk about Tyrannis with zero notice. I manage to catch Yon89 while he’s at work, and interrupt Shou Ning’s evening watching movies with his kiddo. In typical fashion, we end up talking about cows, Avatar, and some sort of upcoming expansion… Continue reading
Today is EVE’s seventh birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with some spaceship cake. I mean just look at how many weapon slots that thing has! Uber…
In honor of this occasion, CCP has taken time out of their busy schedule to create a whole forum thread for birthday wishes. Click here to go there and drop a birthday wish… Continue reading
The new Tyrannis trailer’s pretty awesome. If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend you do so immediately. Skip the IGN failgasm version and head to EVE-Files for the 720p version, crank the sound, and enjoy.
