The summary of the previous week 9/2014 can be found here. Available is also the overview 2014

The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week from March 1st to 7th


Dev blogs and official information
  • Video: EVE Universe Time Capsule
    • CCP Hellmar and Mayor of Reykjavik Jón Gnarr consider the messages they would like to send to the future via the EVE Monument, "Worlds Within A World," and invite the EVE Community to submit their messages to a future generation. Read more about the EVE Universe Time capsule here.

  • Ship Painting Pilot Program - Forum discussion
    • With Rubicon 1.3 a test project goes live: ship skins in EVE Online. With this test project the developers would like to gather data and feedback. If the test reveals a high demand, then a fully-fledged ship skin project can be developed. This test project includes 1 frigate and 1 battleship skin for each race to be bought by AUR or traded on the in-game market, and the Police Comet ship skin to be bought purely in game by Loyality points. Please note that this is just a test project! Please read the dev blog for more details.

  • Worlds Within A World - A Message Through Time - Forum discussion
    • The EVE Monument is an overwhelming success and we would like to empower people to take part even more in this incredible monument. As announced, we will have a time capsule for you to store your messages for the future. The capsule will be sealed and only opened in 25 years. You can upload either text or videos for PLEX. We also would like to allow more pilots to be part of the monument and therefore we will take another snapshot of the player base on March 31st additionally to the snapshot of participants that was already taken on March 1. Read the full details in the blog and especially watch the "Time Capsule" video with CCP Hellmar and the Mayor of Reykjavik!

  • Rubicon 1.3 - Little Things - Forum discussion
    • With Rubicon 1.3 we will publish in good tradition not only larger features, but also many "Little Things" which will improve the daily EVE experience in subtle but significant ways. Read all about those "Little Things" in the blog by CCP Punkturis.

  • New Eden Open II - Day 1 & New Eden Open II - Day 2
    • The playbacks from the first weekend of the New Eden Open II are available on YouTube for your convenience. Check out the videos, discuss the team strategies and listen to the CCP commentators analyzing the matches!

    Excellent overview about the last week. Thank you!

    BTW: The link in the launcher to this thread does not work. Maybe one should fix it so more people can read this compilation.

    Thank you! The link got fixed and should work in a few moments.

    Note to self: It actually helps when you do not leave the url field empty and instead add the actual url... Oops

    So let me get this straight...

    We have this wonderful monument, and a grand idea.

    Yet as a subscriber, I have to pay PLEX to contribute 1000 words?

    Where. pray tell, does all this money go?

    Are you donating it to charity, or are you carving a rock in Iceland to make some cash?

    I've lived in Iceland; rocks are pretty much free.

    We players, ostensibly the base which makes eve happen, are being charged to immortalize ourselves?

    I really hope I read something wrong.

    Something stinks, and it isn't Grindavik...
