New EVE website goes live next week
2012-02-03T14:15+00:00
The new EVE Online website (discussed in this blog) is going to undergo a few final tweaks and is scheduled to release next week, instead of this week as originally estimated.
At the same time the new website will be revealed, the resources and information which players have sought on the EVE Online site, will be made available on a new community website which should prove to be quite an improvement in terms of browsing and locating what you need.
We look forward to showing you the two websites and wish you all a great weekend!

EVE Online: Crucible 1.1 deployment information
2012-01-23T15:02+00:00
EVE Online: Crucible 1.1 is scheduled for deployment during an extended downtime on Tuesday, January 24. Downtime will begin at 11:00 UTC and is expected to be completed by 12:00 UTC.
Crucible 1.1 brings a number of improvements into EVE Online, including the new Neocom panel, rebalanced assault ships, ability for alliances to join Factional Warfare and numerous UI enhancements. For more information on these changes, please refer to CCP Soundwave's recent dev blog or visit the Crucible feature page. Patch notes are available in English, German and Russian.
Please note that in December we have temporarily doubled the size of POS fuel bays to reduce the impact of the delay to fuel block switch-over. In Crucible 1.1, these changes will be reverted and the fuel block consumption enabled. Towers left with their fuel bays in an "overloaded" state as a result of this change should continue to function as normal.
A discussion thread is available here.
