Reasons for Attending an Eve Player Gathering

If you have never attended a player gathering, it is an opportunity to witness the sheer passion, altruistic spirit, and friendless of the Eve community. Along with the playerbase, many of your favorite Devs are walking around, giving you the opportunity to have a face-to-face interaction with them. I had the oppournity to personally thank CCP Seagull for her passion and dedication on delivering a renewed vision of Eve Online. Many thanks to my partner in crime for the weekend, Lockefox (@HLIBIndustry).

Risk Tanking

I’m making a move to stop being a Jita Bear and to undock and lose things. Eleventybillion ISK isn’t any fun if you can’t watch it explode with friends. After a few days in Aideron Robotics, I’ve already started to change things and I have set a plan in motion that I will report on after we conduct the op. I can’t disclose any details besides it will feature many billions of ships exploding, [OPSEC], and [OPSEC].

Side Note: The phrase “risk tanking” came from o7: The EVE Online Show. Episode 3 where CCP Seagull said “risk taking”, but it sounded more like “risk tanking”. Risk Tanking is a much more amazing term and I hope it becomes part of the Eve lexicon.
