Am I just imagining this or did the billboards formerly display only the in-game news when you clicked read news?

Now I get a link to the "News Channel" (http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/) which is slightly atmosphere breaking when I see the headline "Tranquility Connectivity Issues"


As for the Captain's Quarters, I find it frustrating that I'll click a link about "BLINK celebrates 8/9/ whatever years" and get the generic news portal. Should these CQ news headlines be linking to the appropriate story?



It would be nice to have a more immersive news portal.

Or you could fly around and shoot some stuff.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Sure. There isn't anything to read so why bother reading it?
