EVE Information Portal

The EVE player experience museum is now live at eveisreal.net. This is our multi-purpose EVE memory repository and social sharing hub. It’s hard to put into words how meaningful the player creates stories/videos/images are. They prove that to many people EVE is very much real and part of their lives. The amount of love and insanity that goes into these creations is not something you’ll see often, as one server and one community means all kinds of weird and amazing things occur and get documented.

There are also incentives and contests to supplement it. Sharing your favorite moments will move the community closer and closer to unlocking a giant amount of Aurum for everyone to sample the NeX Store at their leisure. The contest portion is accepting entries now through August 18th, with voting through September 1st to follow immediately thereafter. The first unlock is for the entire playerbase. Seriously, somewhere near 107,000 PLEX worth of Aurum.

So take a few minutes and poke around eveisreal.net, maybe relive a cool moment from the history of EVE or make and post one of your own.

How the Aurum reward and contest pieces work:

Aurum Rewards:
• Share pieces into or out of the museum
• Every share moves the bars closer to unlocking a level of rewards.
• There is no immediate cutoff date for sharing rewards, but the faster shared, the faster things unlock.
• About a week after each level unlocks, all active paying customers of EVE Online will receive the reward onto their active, skilltraining character, in the absence of an active character the one with the most skillpoints will receive the Aurum

Image Contest:
• Entries accepted until August 18th
• Voting then begins, you can vote for one video and one image per day
• Voting ends September 1st
• Void where prohibited
• Work must be your original work to win

Hear hear!

CCP, I am continually appalled by your continued efforts to market your products and fund your company. If your next quarterly earnings do not reflect a sharp decline in net income, I'm unsubscribing.

Remove Aurum and the NeX store from the game. If CCP does one thing, it should be that.

The voting should end at 1st september but still people vote. Also eula says winners will be announced at 8th so whats up with that because im certain there is no public notification for two days now.

heh. too funny. I just voted for my favorite video.

I also recall CCP's botched Facebook / win-a-PC contest from earlier this year where they didn't even fully understand Facebook's rules for running a contest. And then there was the deviant art ship model contest earlier in the year that got dropped / forgotten for months.

CCP's track record and actions speak volumes. You have to wonder who is captain of the boat in that organization.

Removing the Nex is a ridiculous idea and of course CCP are gonna push marketing you divits
