Big smileGreerings to all new and existing Eve players! Big smile

I have started a new "All about Eve" blog

The purpose of this blog is yet undefined albeit with the intention of recording my adventures and findings with a brand new character: Captain Soju, as well as helping new players get their feet wet and have a pleasant first experience in the game.

So, I am starting up from scratch with you, just as an example how even a new player can have fun in Eve by any preferred activity or profession. I am also looking forward to adding guides regarding optimal skill training routes to your favorite ships, professions, ISK making and dying hoborably in game!

I would like to start the blog with a monthly giveaway of something valuable in the range of 50M to new players of 30 days or less. Depending on how this goes i will probably increment the giveaway value every month. To enter the monthly giveaways you just have to add a comment below my first post in the blogBig smile

I Hope i will be seeing some visits soon and looking forward to the giveaway and more blog posts!

Hello, and thank you for starting such a project, especially with a new character, and hopefully a new look on the universe of EVE.
I'm looking forward to read your adventures.
Sadly i couldn't post a comment on your blog, because it asks me to have an account on whatever things i don't know and don't want to know... we are flooded with accounts for everything and anything nowadays... Internet was supposed to make our life easier...
Anyway, good luck and have fun !

you mean you don't see it abused as "laundering" utility for RMT when someone purchase from the blog owner a dramiel and he happens to give it as a reward on his blog. *wink wink*

I suggest donate the reward to a newbie guilds like EVEuni or RvB or something so newbies will enjoy it.

I love the edit.

Checks will be made to prevent abusing with newly created alts....

HAHAHAHA, really. Unless you are CCP, good luck proving it. And if you are, think that would break some rules.
