Release YC 119.1 to be deployed on January 10
The next release, codename YC 119.1, will be release on January 10. Instead of one or two large features, this release will bring us numerous bug fixes and a load of smaller improvements! Check out the full details in the patch notes or get a high level overview on EVE Updates.

The Caldari Blue Tiger SKINs are currently on sale in the New Eden Store with a 30% discount - prices now range from 280 to 1260 AUR. The sale ends on January 10, after that most of those SKINs will be retired from the New Eden Store for the time being. Check out the New Eden Store (Alt+4 in game)!

Hi CCP!

I think you overlooked another event that happened this week. It's called Happy Rue Year. You know, the one where I undocked a purple pinata shaped like a Moros in Dodixie and purposely went Suspect for the 600 people waiting on the undock?

or if you'd like to watch it:

Enjoy!

An accidental oversight, I'm sure. Blink

But that Moros in F4R2-Q is kinda nice too...

Under the user interface section of next week's patch notes:
Quote:
Improved the performance of (re-)loading the bookmarks window (Places list in People and Places) with many bookmarks significantly, especially for jumping with open bookmarks window and when adding new bookmarks.


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I might have been the only one to recently ping about this in a bug report, and I deeply appreciate CCP's efforts at cleaning up this code that probably hasn't been dusted off since 2004. o7 to the developer that braved the cobwebs to make this work better.
