Macabre capsuleers,

New Eden is about to be overrun by terrifying events in honor of the scariest time of year. This year’s Crimson Harvest event is just around the corner, and you better get ready because it is longer and more gruesome than ever before and brings spine-chilling rewards.

Expect monstrous loot drops, horrific in-game events, and blood-curdling rewards across the period, from 5 October to 6 November. There’s certainly plenty of gore and glory to sink your teeth into, and you should not miss out on the spooktacular attractions of Crimson Harvest.

HARVEST OF HORRORS

The Crimson Harvest puts capsuleers in the middle of the bloody conflict between the Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of Tetrimon. From 5 Oct to 6 Nov, you will find bone-chilling combat and hacking sites scattered throughout Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, and wormhole systems. More challenging sites, promising even greater rewards, can be found...

Chaotic capsuleers,

Zarzakh has been waiting, and the gates have now been opened! This mysterious and ancient star system - accessed via the Jovian gates in the Turnur, Alsavoinon, H-PA29, and G-0Q86 solar systems - is controlled by the Deathless Circle, with their Angel Cartel and Guristas pirate allies granted sanctuary within. However, from deep inside the enormous Jovian station called “The Fulcrum” where he resides, The Deathless needs capsuleer assistance to bring this mammoth station’s power back up to full operating potential. 

Between now and 14 November, to aid the Deathless Circle in their endeavor, you will need raid specific wormhole sites to collect resources and return them to Zarzakh where you will be rewarded with pirate Loyalty Point tokens.

Manufacture coalesced elements from blueprints and individual elements that drop in Drifter Hive wormhole sites, and collect Element Containment Vessels from Sleeper relic s...

Capsuleers,

The third and final day of Fanfest has just wrapped up, following a packed schedule of presentations and panels dedicated to exciting new updates coming to EVE Online, plus amazing player and guest speakers.

Much of the day was focused on EVE Online: Havoc, the new expansion launching on 14 November, and promises to bring pirate chaos to the warzone. Elsewhere, more details were revealed about em...

Capsuleers!

The EVE keynote at this year’s 20th anniversary Fanfest was packed full of exciting news about EVE’s upcoming Havoc expansion, the intense new Vanguard FPS module heading to New Eden, and a steady stream of community developments to help EVE step triumphantly into its third decade.

First, Fanfest 2023 kicked off with a stellar welcome ceremony, attended by none other than Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, President of Iceland. Special thanks to President Jóhannesson for his warm words regarding EVE and its wonderful players.

Announcing Havoc, the next EVE expansion

One of the most anticipated announcements from the keynote was EVE’s next expansion - Havoc - releasing on 14 November! More details will be unveiled at the expansion presentation at 12:30 UTC on Satu...

Fellow capsuleers,

EVE Fanfest returns to Reykjavik, 21-23 September 2023, celebrating 20 years of EVE Online on its journey to forever. Pilots from around the world will soon warp to our small island in the North to take part in the epic revelries, mingle with fellow capsuleers and paint Reykjavik in spectacular New Eden fashion. In addition, all are invited to join us from home through the live stream on CCPTV, for the main program on Friday and Saturday. Like last year, the primary festival venue will be Laugardalshöll Arena, which should be familiar to long-time festivalgoers, as it has hosted several editions of Fanfest in the past. This year however, the celebrations kick off a day earlier, Thursday 21 September in Gróska, before moving to Laugardalshöll Arena on Friday and Saturday.

Celebrated capsuleers, 

The pinnacle of the 20th anniversary celebration of EVE Online, EVE Fanfest 2023, is fast approaching, and we are thrilled to welcome a record number of capsuleers to Reykjavik to participate in cosmic revelry of epic proportions. There is a lot in store for this year’s attendees, including exciting activities like the legendary Fanfest pub crawl, tours with EVE devs and the Party at the top of the World; fascinating panels and guest talks; screenings of the Making of EVE Online documentary; and of course this year’s EVE keynote, which will take a look at the past, present and future of New Eden.

Intrepid capsuleers,   

In the past week, compelled by leaked footage of an invitation from the enigmatic figure known as the Deathless and lured by promises of immense fortune from the Socety of Conscious Thought in exchange for information, pilots across the cluster ruthlessly hunted down Angel Cartel and Guristas commanders in search of any clues which might illuminate a pathway to the pirates’ destination.  

Launching toward an unknown finish line, capsuleer groups matched fragmentary data with ancient navigational technology ...

Greetings capsuleers!

Over the last two weeks, we have reviewed all the CSM applications to ensure that they meet the outlined guidelines and eligibility requirements. In the last two terms, our goal was to achieve a 72-hour response time for applicants - a significant improvement from the earlier 2-week waiting period. This year, we honored this commitment for 75% of the applicants. However, a few applications experienced delays, mainly due to weekend schedules and a higher-than-expected volume of applicants. Our aim is to continually refine and streamline this process. Insights gained from this year will inform improvements in...

Sleuthing capsuleers,

Following the disruption of Guri Malakim activity surrounding ancient Jovian sites by capsuleers earlier this year and the still-ongoing recovery of fragmentary destroyer schematics from Angel and Guristas commanders, corrupted fragments containing structural data for what appears to be a Jove stargate have begun to circulate, marked with an enigmatic emblem. Simultaneously, footage has emerged of both Cartel commando Rafik Zohar and Caldari Navy defector Esri Hakuzosu meeting with an unknown representative. The footage, showing the representative offering an invitation from the mysterious figure known only as the Deathless, has begun to spread across GalNet:

It would therefore appear, fearless capsuleers, that there are one or more stargates out there, waiting to be discovered. While it is unclear where such hidden stargates might lead, it is of the utmost importance that their locations be discovered as soon as possible. They may provide ...
