Eve Online

I wonder if we’ll get a chance to revamp our current character’s appearance when that hits.

That’s the plan.

Yeah, I guess everyone will have to remake their character when it hits. According to the dev blog, anyway.

Hi Guys,

Cross-Post from GWC Writers Forum

This weekend I wrote some EVE related fiction, and this morning it got picked up by one of the more active bloggers and EVE tweetfleet members, Roc. Check it out and let me know what you think.

… and btw there are a couple typos that may or may not be edited out when you read it. I’ve pinged the admin to try and get them changed :slight_smile:

Cheers, Amberite (Writing as Garlon Das)

Incursion Release Date

Release a first-step patch with a collection of player requested improvements November 30th.
Release a second-step patch before Christmas (Only Santa knows what will be in this patch!)
Release key features of this expansion such as the Incarna Character Creator and Sansha Incursions in January 2011

Not all of these may make it into the November update. Some may require additional testing or design, and will be included in future patches. But we’re confident the update on November 30th will have a lot of very exciting, highly requested changes.

We’ll see…

Well, I’ve lost interest for now, so my account will be expiring a bit before that. Might give it another shot in January or Febuary.

My accounts expired on the 3rd of this month. First time since April '07 I haven’t had at least 1 account training. I’ll reactivate as many as I can afford before the Christmas holidays for the [inevitable] free gift.

I wondered why the GWC channel had been empty lately. Hope to see you guys back soon.

Speaking of the EVE channel, fastcart and I are the admins for it. I’ll try to remember to log in and give you privledges in it for changing the intro message and stuff.

I logged in the other day to set up some skills and pinged Alpaca Syndicate for corp membership. Garlon Das :slight_smile: I’ll check out the channel as well.

I’ll prolly be back when I can afford to manage 5 accounts again. But, I’ll definitely be back before and after the Christmas holidays.

Lotro is more (too much) of a grind at later levels and it’s getting on my nerves even though it’s “free”.

CCP dropped some big news today.

"Learning Skills are going Away

With one hand Santa giveth, and with the other he taketh away."

I’m kind of excited, I get a couple of mil of skillpoints to redistribute. Of course, since I’m not even sure what I want to train these days, it may be as much of a burden as it is gift.
I’m hoping we also get some sort of cool shuttle or whatnot for the holiday.

I have enough shuttles/ships that we got for free that I don’t fly. I spent about 4 hours on evemon last night planning redistribution on 5 characters.

I have plans with 500-800 days of training on them. 4 mil SP barely makes a dent.

But, cool nonetheless.

I’m at the point where I’m almost considering stopping the training on my main, and training one of the alt characters on that account. I’m maxed out in everything I want to fly, and the more I train, the more it costs me when I get podded. I’m basically down to training stuff I’ll never use, just for something to train.

I’ve never had that problem. My skill plans go from 88 to 107 million points. At the moment, I have until February 2013 before I have to worry about what to train next. d:

Learning Skills Removal Mass Test until December 3, 2010

Starting now and continuing until Friday morning, we will be conducting mass testing of the upcoming removal of learning skills. To ensure a smooth rollout of this change, we need as many pilots as possible to help us test it on the Singularity server. We will be rewarding all participants with an additional 5 million skill points on Singularity and it will take only 15 minutes of your time!

We advise all players to use the SisiLauncher tool to install and update the client version needed to access the test server. More information on SisiLauncher can be found here.

For additional information on how to take part, please refer to this thread.

I’m gonna have to log in to Sisi and train something stupid. Maybe a Caldari ship;)

With 8-10mil SPs, try a Caldari Titan. d: (You won’t be able to fly or find one though.)

Training Sovereignty would be stupider imo. d:
Why stupider showing as correctly spelled is a mystery to me though.
