Well I've just reactivated my account after 3 years away and I have a lot of questions. It looks ilke I have a body now, a few million unallocated skill points, the ability to reset my abilities, some new options in terms of skills etc.

Other than souring the main web site for info is there a place for returning players to go and see what all has changed since they last flew? Any tips or tricks as to what I should be looking at in order to get up to speed on my first day back?

Thanks,

Goons won at EVE Online. Everyone is pretty mad about it.

That's about it.

Heh.

Oh yes there's also an event called "Hulkageddon" going on in which everyone is encouraged to fly a Hulk and try out the enthralling profession of mining... To encourage this there are some sweet rewards for the people seen flying a Hulk during this period so get out there and do some mining ASAP!

Heh.

I'm sure that made no sense whatsoever.

There was a cheating scandal with BoB and the others slowly lost territory to the Goons, TEST, and the Russians who are the dominant nullsec factions now.

After pwning everyone nearby, Goons started launching raids on carebears in hi-sec causing many forum tears.

I'm going to have to look that one up, didn't know you could cheat at EVE.

Thanks for the updates on stuff all, time to do some research.

It wasn't really cheating. BoB collapsed because someone on the inside dissolved the alliance.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

EVE is hosting the Delusional Ward of a major mental institution. They call themselves "Goons". It's so good of CCP to provide charity to the mentally challenged and emotionally disabled.

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

It must upset you that these mentally challenged people are clearly far, far better at EVE Online that you are.

Heh.

I thought it was a bit odd that most things were the same price as before or at least the things checked so far. Makes more sense that i just missed that part.

seems to be huge difference from a half a year ago concerning the commodities i buy. Drakes shot from 34 million out in the middle of nowhere to 54 million in jita.

So close...
