Combative capsuleers,

The Uprising expansion – a major new narrative-driven update for EVE Online – is coming in November and brings with it the biggest overhaul to Factional Warfare that New Eden has ever seen. The arrival of Frontlines will be a big change to how the empires’militias compete for control of the warzones on Tranquility.

To encourage participation during the testing period on Singularity and thereby obtain as much valuable feedback as possible on this new feature we are hosting a Frontlines Wargame on the Singularity test server with some cool rewards to be granted on Tranquility for individual capsuleers and player corporations who distinguish themselves!

The wargame will commence at 14:00 UTC on 26 October when Singularity becomes accessible to players after the initial state of the Amarr/Minmatar warzone on Singularity is set up and it will conclude at 14:00 UTC on 4 November when Singularity will be taken offline and analysis of t... Read more

Courageous capsuleers,

As EVE’s major new narrative-driven expansion Uprising approaches, you can start gearing up for the big day by testing the Frontlines and Advantage systems on the Singularity test server now!

The new Frontlines feature in Factional Warfare (FW) will draw pilots closer to the borders of their opponents and present new rewarding challenges that focus capsuleer efforts towards key, emerging conflict hot spots where empire history will be written! Systems in a FW warzone can have different operational states which are designated as follows:

• Frontline - adjacent to an enemy-controlled star system, the absolute heart of the battle, and the highest level of reward!
• Command Operations - adjacent to a Frontline system, vital for strategic supremacy with standard LP rewards.
• Rearguard - when none of the above apply, a relative safe zone in the maelstrom.

The operational state of the FW sy... Read more

Frightful capsuleers,

In space, nobody may be able to hear you scream. But through Halloween, New Eden will be filled with blood-curdling cries of delight as a new season of terrifically terrifying events begins in celebration of the spookiest time of the year.

What that means is that pilots can get some monstrous enjoyment from a range of special events, offers, rewards, loot drops, and more across the Halloween period, running 20 Oct-1 Nov. There’s a lot going on, and if you miss out it might haunt you for years. To make sure that never happens, here’s a roundup of Halloween Horror’s grotesque wonders!

CRIMSON HARVEST
The focal point of this year’s Halloween Horrors season will be the Crimson Harvest, which lets pilots throw themselves into the bloody conflict between the frightfully powerful Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of Tetrimon, an Amarr-aligned order of fundamentalist warrior monks. Head into the star cluster between 20 October and 1 Nove... Read more

Glorified Kybernauts,

Two years ago, following months of ceaseless conflict between the tenuously united Empires under EDENCOM, the resurfaced Triglavian Collective, and innumerable capsuleers or Kybernauts aiding both sides, the campaign of Liminal Proving heralded by Zorya Triglav came to a close.

As a 27th system processed into Final Liminality, the Collective evoked Totality from the transmuted stars, altering spacetime between them to bridge the boundary between New Eden and Abyssal Deadspace. Weaving the systems together with conduit gates, each Clade soon claimed their Krai – and the leviathan conduit-loop construct known as the Domain of Pochven was defined.

Today, Kybernauts across New Eden celebrate the second anniversary of the formation of Pochven on Totality Day, a capsuleer holiday started by those who aided the Triglavian Collective in their campaign – but celebrations haven’t gone unnoticed, and pilots of all... Read more

Economical Capsuleers,

The New Eden Store now offers a wider range of Omega than ever before, allowing you to get Omega for less PLEX.

As well as the existing 1-month and 12-month Omega packs already available, pilots that swing by the New Eden Store will now find 3, 6 and 24-month options. To account for the new Omega amounts, the PLEX pricing of Omega has been adjusted.



The introduction of the new Omega options and the new pricing means a wider range of per-month savings are available. In short, the more you spend in PLEX, the more you save off the full monthly cost of Omega. The discounts are as follows:

1-month: Full price

3-month: 20% off the full monthly cost of Omega

6-month: 30% off the full monthly cost of Omega

12-month: 40% off the full monthly cost of... Read more
