"EVE Online: Inferno 1.0.1 to be deployed on Wednesday, May 23"

Oh come on now! That looks so unprofessional and lame and stale that it may even chase ppl away ...

Maybe you could update it every few months?

If you got to gate.eveonline.com,right column, titled headline news. He's saying the articles there are really old and wants new ones I think. Hope that helps

Actually, after I click "Play" on the Launcher, I still get a brief flash of the "Inferno" splash screen.

Ditto.

Also, logged in, my Eve Gate news (on the character selection screen) is as the OP stated: horribly, laughably, out-of-date.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check if we just want to disable this news channel or have it auto update from somewhere else or something. It's pretty obvious that we haven't been using it for a while and even though I doubt many get their news fix from there, it doesn't look good like this :)

Nowadays we put all Community directed news on the Community page , some news goes in the launcher and then we use social media to spread it as needed.

While obviously nobody is getting their news fix from there, many, many people use EvEgate. Specially during downtime or when they cannot log into EvE, whatever.

And as soon as you fire up the site, there they are: terribly updated "news" which are detrimental to the company image and EvE in general.

Looks bad.

It's just a column of links and snippets, and you at CCP produce quite a lot of them. Facebook, blogs, etc...there is plenty of material for (at least) a monthly update or something. Shouldn't be too difficult.

agreed, nearly everyone i know sits on EVE gate at work and it would be nice to have some up to date news on the main page, some of the rolepalying stuff, FW news, sovereignty changes ect ect.

I only use EVE Gate to double check my skills. I understand my skills are going to train whether or not I look at them, but I still do it. What else do/can you use EVE Gate for?

You guys should have soundwave record daily news announcements to be played over loudspeakers in our cq.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

You can queue skills, arrange ISK transfers and do basic corp management.

Ahahaha not really all you can do is move personal contacts around and send evemails

Because the CQ is already a prison and we now need to add demoralization to our infinite internment?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Really. It would probably sound like the announcements in "1984": "We are at war with Oceania. We have always been at war with Oceania". Lol

"We are moving forward on every faction warfare front. The enemy has lost five titans with 90% losses in their supporting fleets. We lost a shuttle and two n00bships.

Rumors that Dear Leader has suffered a nosebleed whilst picking his nose are unfounded, and the rumor-mongering traitors spreading this lie have been recycled.

In other news, Dear Leader made an unannounced inspection visit to the CentralStation Emergency Ward last night to cheer up victims and staff.

In business news, CentralStation Emergency Ward has immediate openings for Emergency Services personel and associated staff positions, including physicians, primary care nurses, and custodial and clerical staff."
