Hello pilots. My name is CCP Sharq and I‘m a UI designer for EVE Online. I‘m a part of Team Pony Express, that focuses on User Experience for EVE Online. When looking at and playing EVE one day, looking for what to tackle next for our team, we noticed that the left mouse button is more or less underutilized when interacting with the client.

There are dozens of EVE Online podcasts, ranging from small affairs designed to be listened to by a few corporations to much larger ones which attempt to tackle the politics of the entire universe. In such a crowded pond, it is difficult to be a fish that stands out. But Crossing Zebras has managed to do just that and has gained wide renown as one of the better podcasts ever produced in EVE Online's history. History Crossing Zebras first went live on April 4th, 2012, with the first podcast goin...

Can we have your stuff? (for a book*) If you were watching the "CCP Presents" keynote at Fanfest this year you'll recall a slightly bulbous English fellow bumbling on about some book or other.

Now is the moment of truth. As of midnight EVE time on May 6th we closed the True Stories website for new submissions, and opened it up for voting. The voting period is two weeks, ending May 21st. As previously stated, there are rewards for the five top voted stories: 1.

Dear alt-loving capsuleers, Many of us here have been playing EVE long before we started working at CCP. As such, a lot of ideas and improvements come from our own experience and (sometimes) frustrations with EVE. Alt accounts play a large role in EVE so training and keeping them shouldn't be a hassle.

The 11th Alliance Tournament will be kicking off on July 20, 2013. While we like to keep things nice and simple like that here in the Tournament Team, a few more announcements regarding this year's Alliance Tournament are in order because we are changing a few things. Firstly, we will do away with the usual format of qualifying rounds and group stages and go for a double elimination bracket format from the start.

You haven't seen a dev blog over here from me in some time as I have been off plotting the retrival of my shoes from CCP Soundwave. During that time of plotting I have also been working with Team True Grit on the EVE/DUST link. I am here today to talk to you guys about some of the stuff we have done.

EVE Online: Odyssey is coming on the 4th of June and Exploration as a profession is seeing a lot of love from the developers at CCP. Team Prototyping Rocks has been working hard on improving the depth of gameplay that explorers will enjoy in their day to day lives. The devil is in the details and until this release the details behind Hacking and Archaeology have been very sparse.

The elections for the 8th Council of Stellar Management (CSM8) are now all wrapped up and CSM8 is already in action reviewing providing feedback on many of the features coming in Odyssey. With the changes in this years election system to using the Wright Single Transferable Vote (Wright-STV), we at CCP thought it might be interesting to take a look at some of the important statistics regarding voter behavior and how ballots were counted.

Lotteries have a long history in New Eden. Tens of thousands of capsuleers, hoping to score some easy riches, have bought tickets over the years. Many lotteries have come and gone over the years, but the first of them still remains: The BIG Lottery. Early History The very first round of The BIG Lottery was held in the closing weeks of beta from April 14th, 2003 to April 28th, 2003.

Celebrating such a special event as EVE’s 10th anniversary is too big an occasion for just a private party, so with that in mind we've planned an action-packed weekend within the EVE Universe to ring in the second decade with the people who matter the most… you! In true Icelandic style, no celebration would be complete without fireworks, so we are running a campaign on Facebook where we invite you to like the official EVE Online Facebook page and share with your friends and gaming groups.

Hi there. I hope that everyone enjoyed Fanfest last week as much as we did. This dev blog is a follow-up to the Fanfest presentation where I introduced Team Five 0's 'Tags for Security Status' feature coming in Odyssey. If you were present for the talk, or watched it on the live-stream, then you'll have some idea of what you're about to read.

As has become a custom, CCP Hellmar, CCP’s CEO, just announced the election results for the 8th Council of Stellar Management (CSM8) during the CCP Presents Keynote in Reykjavik during Fanfest 2013. This election was an exhilarating experience and the candidates were hard at work until the final minutes of the election getting those last few votes. This is the first CSM election where the Single Transferrable Vote (STV) has been used.

Numbers! Hello again everyone. It feels like it was but moments ago when we last spoke. This blog is intended as a companion to the main feature blog covering our resource balancing work in EVE Online: Odyssey.

Just don't call it a cataclysm. Speculators, start your engines. Hello once again brave spacecaptains. My name is CCP Fozzie and I’m here to bring you our next Dev Blog covering EVE Online’s 19th free expansion, Odyssey. For the expansion that arrives so close to our game’s tenth anniversary, we are turning our attention to the original promise of EVE; a universe of wonder is waiting for you and your friends to explore and exploit.

As some of you may have noticed, the EVE store has been as closed as the welded-shut Incarna door for quite a while, despite the metaphorical sound of banging and clawing at the gates by people wanting to some deep meaningful retail therapy. We are happy to announce that not only are we re-opening the EVE Store, but we are rebooting it with a whole new lineup of goods in conjunction with an excellent partner in the space.

Events have been heating up across New Eden as the four empires deal with their own internal strife and growing tensions between them. The Battle of Caldari Prime was one of the biggest events in EVE's history, with thousands of people in space and on the ground, doing battle on behalf of the Caldari State or the Gallente Federation.

Greetings honourable spaceship pilots! As mentioned in our last dev blog, we’ve been putting a lot of effort into some exciting things in our war on people who violate our EULA and TOS and try to cheat in New Eden.

The elections for the 8th Council of Stellar Management (CSM) end tomorrow April 18th, at 23:59 UTC. Our wonderful community has been buzzing with comments on the CSM as an institution and the actions of CSM7, so we thought it would be nice to hear from CCP itself.

Dear Followers of EVE, It’s been about 13 years since the development of EVE Online formally started. Over that time, we have had various great people lead our development efforts for the amazing experience that is EVE. For the past year, Jon Lander (CCP Unifex) has served as our Executive Producer.
