The EVE Online Proteus update has been deployed and players can now begin exploring the changes made to the game in the form of graphical enhancements, new mining locations, rebalanced recon ships and more.
Asteroid field effects bring pulverized rocks, dust particles, light rays and other atmospheric beautifications to the raw materials that help build the EVE universe

10 more groups of modules are streamlined and simplified to maintain the sophistication of EVE without overdone complexity
EVE Online players, if you haven’t bought your tickets to next year’s EVE Fanfest, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is, you won’t be able to get your hands on the cheapish package because it’s sold out. The good news is, there’s still hope of getting a hold of a limited number of discounted tickets.
Standard admission to the event is $200, but for the time being there’s a limited number of tickets at the $175 price point. Even better, Icelandair and Center Hotels are offering special rates to attendees on airfare and lodging. If that’s not enough incentive, check out these Fanfest details:
Presentations by CCP developers and community members
Exclusive reveals and sneak previews for all of CCP’s games
Live tournaments
Player/developer roundtable discussions
Exclusive charity dinner hosted by CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson and other CCP staff
The infamous Developer Pub Crawl
The Blue Lagoon Hangover Party (we can only imagine)
Cool as these are, perhaps the coolest part of attending Fanfest next year is that during the show (March 20) there will be a total solar eclipse and according NASA, if you want to get a front seat to the event, it doesn’t get better than Iceland.
