CCP Abraxas is very fond of telling you all dark and disturbing stories from the depths of New Eden.

Today though, he's here to talk to you about the Fiction Portal, and the recent explosion of content that has been seen due to the valiant efforts of our ISD Mercury team.

You can read all about the latest additions to the Fiction Portal, and find out more about ISD Mercury in his latest Dev Blog.

Enjoy!

I have to agree that ISD Mercury are awesome, and have done a phenomenal amount of work since their formation to make the EVE Wiki really come alive.

Props to those guys, and I look forward to buying them much deserved and well earned beer at Fanfest for their outstanding contribution to EVE.

Cool

First off good job on team mercury, they've given science fiction fanatics alot of things to go digest and a stronger background.

When are articles going to hit front page status again? they seemed to be shoved out of the way into the community again instead of showing up on news tickers and the sorts.

Heck I didn't know the Gallente had a planet bombarded by the serpentis until I went looking for it in the community site.

Also can someone poke the bot to update missile names the evelopedia item list still lists the old names.

and I suck at writing to be honest... I rather let more capable, cultured, and better read people handle it.

More lore is good, more lore making it onto the actual game is awesome!

Agreed. Once more unto the breach...

Well done to everyone in Mercury. I've been regularly inspired by the work being produced within the team, and look forward to many years of further enthrallment working on this ever-expanding universe with such a creative bunch.

Come join us, imaginative eggers.

Fiction portal is better than ever and I'm loving all the new ~words~. Big ups to Abraxus and the lore team. You have made many nerds including this one very happy.

Edit: I'd also like you all to know the wiki is my inspiration for all of my terrible Monday Eve Online puns on Twitter.
