Live Dev Blog on Empyrean Age, Thursday 15 May, 20.00 to 21.00 GMT
2008-05-09T17:51+00:00
With our upcoming expansion, Empyrean Age, being just around the corner we thought it would only be fitting that the next Live Dev Blog focused on it. Mindstar, our always present host, will be joined by Greyscale from Game Design and t0nyG, author of the upcoming EVE novel, to discuss and answer your questions about Empyrean Age.
To listen in all you have to do is join the in-game channel 'Live Dev Blog' at 20.00 GMT this Thursday, 15 May, and join audio. If you really want to listen to the blog, but can't make it that time, a recording will be made available at a later date.
As usual, with the Live Dev Blogs, you have the opportunity to post your questions on our forums. Those questions, and others, will then be answered during the Live Dev Blog. Please use this thread to post your questions.

The BIG Event : EVE 5th Anniversary Lottery
2008-05-07T21:36+00:00
Place Your Bets
BIG Games are perhaps the most well known group within the densely packed lotteries and competition market so it should come as little surprise that they will be celebrating the anniversary in style.
Well known throughout the cluster, BIG are one of the few corporations who have good relations with the main empires, independent factions and mega-corporations. Their many relationships have been cultivated over the years whilst negotiating for advertising and broadcasting rights. This has put them in a unique position.
For the anniversary lottery, round number 131, they are presenting something not seen before. BIG have managed to secure custom pilot equipment and memorabilia from the majority of their customers. These items will be given away alongside the normal lottery prizes.
This is an opportunity for pod-pilots, crew members and the general populace to own very rare custom branded equipment from BIG's sponsors, items potentially worth millions in the future.
Do not delay. Visit BIG Games' GalNet announcement for more information.
