Why Do I Love Eve?

One of my first posts was called " Why Do I Love Eve? " way back in 2010. At that point I had only been playing Eve for about a year and a half. My focus in that post was to try and express the reasons why Eve had grabbed me and held on, the things I saw, the feelings I felt, and the reasons I kept playing. My perspective back then was limited. I had no idea when I wrote those words what was ahead of me. Over the years that have followed I've read hundreds and hundreds of angry, vindictive, rage filled posts aimed at the game I love and those that have built it. And each and every time I've felt like an outsider to that experience, a foreigner in a strange land. My own experiences with Eve are so far outside of that world-view that I often feel as if I must be playing a completely different game. And yet I am not. Facebook, Reddit, and other platforms are full of people yelling, screaming, and pontificating about the horror that is Eve Online - and here I sit every si

Fanfest & Covid

From left to right back row - Lufax, Watson Crick, Corvus Onzo, Rixx Javix - Front row - Katia Sae, EQ, and Thane. Saint Michael Soul is missing since no one saw him at all on Thursday and Insidious Sainthood was busy volunteering. But otherwise this is our small gang! Overall A Band Apart had 18 people at Fanfest 2022, which is the most we've ever had. We even made the list this year. Normally it doesn't take me nearly a week to write about a Fanfest, so you know something had to go wrong. You may have already heard, but I managed to bring Covid home with me. Despite testing negative on Saturday and being allowed to fly back to the States, it really hit me first thing Monday morning. Even before the test, I knew I had it. At last count over 50 Fanfest attendees caught Covid and I think those numbers are probably very conservative, I know a few more people who just recently tested positive. Luckily my own case has been pretty mild so far and I am already feeling much, much be

Time for Fanfest

This might be my last post before we head off to Fanfest on Tuesday. Lots to do to get ready for the trip and I might not have time to post while also packing, getting several hundred swag bags prepped, and all the other stuff that goes along with getting a household ready for a trip. This will be our fifth Fanfest in Iceland and our sixth trip to the island. We went last Summer on a personal trip because we couldn't wait any longer. So this one will be a little shorter than usual, we leave on Tuesday evening and arrive Wednesday morning in Reykjavik. And then we leave Sunday evening to return in the middle of the night home. Which isn't as much fun as it sounds. That part of the trip always sucks. Our first Fanfest was 2015 and that one was insanely busy, stressful, and full of strange and wonderful things. It was the first time I ever met another Eve player in person and I met hundreds of them all at once. I did a presentation, signed autographs on my posters, had several m

The Price Update Debate

At this point you'd have to be living on Mars not to have heard the news that CCP is increasing the subscription rate for Eve Online. This news hit the community like a meteor last week and a lot of players went bat-shit crazy about it. Which they do about twice a month these days. On average. So yes, it seems that after 10+ years of holding steady Eve is finally getting more expensive. Like everything else in our lives. I don't like this any more than you do. And I am not going to tell you how you should feel about the news. That is totally up to you. I don't know your situation or how many accounts you have running. If $5 more a month is too much for you to deal with, then don't deal with it. Please. Real life is always more important than internet spaceships. And of course it is. If you need to scale back your accounts, do it. If you need to un-sub for awhile, do it. Take care of yourself first. That is always and forever going to be my first piece of advice. Always.

Bits & Pieces

Fanfest is next week. The Anger Games are coming up and practice continues. I'm hard at work on Clear Skies V with Ian Chisholm. I'm trying to find something to donate to the charity auction. Helped Greygal with the new Pilot's Licenses for AbleGamers - which you can pick up at Fanfest for a donation. And some other projects which shall remain secret for the time being. In other words, it is a busy time. Before I move on to other things, just a quick note regarding Fanfest. And I say this every time, please do not be shy about introducing yourself. I'm at Fanfest to meet players and I'd love to meet you. Especially if we've never had the chance before. I want you to come up and introduce yourself. Just be respectful if I'm already in a conversation with someone else, that is all I ask. If you'd like a photo that is also perfectly fine. I will have swag bags available to hand out. I've got lots of goodie bags with stickers, pins, buttons and other a
