Alliance Tournament XII

Alliance Tournament XII was announced to be held from August 16 to September 7, 2014. The Alliance Tournament is the annual massive tournament for Alliances to fight for fame, glory and fantastic prizes.

CCP Gargant presented the format and rules for AT XII and announced that signups are open until June 8 – if your alliance isn’t signed up yet, poke your CEO to join this incredible experience! The Alliance Tournament will be fully broadcasted by EVE TV Next to CCP commentators, we have also four player commentators selected: Elise Randolph, SirSqueebles, Bacchanalian, and Apothne.

Coming after Kronos: Crius

With the new development cycle of one release approximately every six weeks, we are aiming straight for the next release already. After Kronos comes Crius on July 22^nd! With Crius comes  a massive rework of New Eden’s Industry. Industry is the beating heart of EVE Online and plays an integral, if not the most important part in EVE , we proceed with caution and will release only when everything is in perfect shape and not before the community gives green light via their feedback.
