Conversational capsuleers,  

EVE Fanfest is the ultimate gathering of EVE players; a place where capsuleers from across the cluster come together to celebrate the universe they call home. And no celebration would be complete without a word from the pilots who shape New Eden.  

Each year, we shine the spotlight on community members who live and breathe EVE, letting them take to the stage to share their expertise, experiences, and passion. Let’s meet the player presenters for EVE Fanfest 2025: 

Colonel Kurtz 

Kane Carnifex

Nohus Bluxome

Veteran Alliance Tournament pilot, Colonel Kurtz will take you on a journey through the past, present, and future of the Alliance Tournament, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and insider knowledge from years of competition.

Looking for ways to make bounty hunting part of your everyday gameplay? Kane Carnifex breaks down Just Bounties, a system that lets you turn your usual in-game activities into rewarding challenges.

Developer of RIFT and EVE Partner, Nohus takes to the stage to demystify the world of third-party development. Learn how some of your favorite EVE tools are built, and what it takes to develop applications that support EVE’s vast ecosystem.

Keacte, Kshal Aideron & Sin Alarma

Long-time NPSI advocate Keacte, former CSM Member and CEO of EVE Rookies Kshal Aideron, and alliance leader and meetup coordinator Sin Alarma will explore the ways players create and sustain content in New Eden, shining a light on the driving forces behind New Eden’s ever-evolving sandbox.

Rahne Chocolate

The Boojum

EVE has a reputation for being dark, ruthless and unforgiving, but long-time EVE Streamer and EVE Partner Rahne is going to showcase the other side of the coin. She’ll share how the EVE Community rallies together to make a positive impact in the world, from charity fundraisers to community-driven initiatives.

Jumping into EVE Online in April 2024, EVE Partner The Boojum is still a rookie pilot, but that’s exactly what makes his perspective so valuable. He’ll share a new player’s perspective, diving into what it’s like to enter a long-established MMORPG, and how rookies can carve out their own adventures.

Rixx Javix

ZED-31BRAVO

One of the EVE Community’s most celebrated artists, Rixx will share the creative journey behind EVE: War for New Eden, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the upcoming board game evolved from concept to production. 

ZED-31BRAVO takes to the stage to discuss how professional life and real-world skills translate and shape EVE’s universe. As we all know, EVE is more than a game, and this talk will showcase the blending of the real and virtual worlds.

There is clearly a lot to look forward to, as Fanfest draws ever closer. Even if you can’t join in person, many of these exciting presentations will be featured on the Fanfest live stream, and all will be recorded and released on the EVE Online YouTube channel, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Lastly, a huge thank you goes out to everyone who submitted an application to present this year! There are always way too many great topics and speakers to choose from, and hopefully you’ll apply again next time. See you in May!
