Everyone has a fighting chance
If you’ve ever walked around with a large amount of cash in your pockets, you’re probably familiar with that paranoid feeling that follows you everywhere. Odds are you’ll be just fine, but that doesn’t do much to stop thoughts from filling your head as you wonder if today might just be your unlucky day. While ferrying $1,500 worth of cargo in EVE Online, Angel was all too familiar with that feeling. The only difference was that this was his unlucky day.
CCP just pushed out the first half of two major updates coming this summer, kicking off what they’re calling EVE Online’s "Summer of Sovereignty."
When the Rorqual landed on grid, the excitement between the 13 pilots waiting for it was palpable. Shanq had done it. Nine months of spying and lying came to fruition in the destruction of one of EVE’s most coveted targets: the white whale of New Eden, the Rorqual.

The morning of April 6th is not likely to be one that Lychton Kondur will ever forget, if only because the knife-shaped hole in his back won’t let him. That morning, he awoke to find that everything he had spent two years building had been ripped away. During the night, Lychton Kondur was deposed.
CCP is gearing up to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of EVE Online with the announcement of a pair of pretty awesome gifts to all current players.
After the recent devastating earthquake in Nepal, CCP has announced a new Plex for Good campaign for EVE Online players that will directly impact relief efforts in the stricken nation.
