With a lot going on in New Eden right now, and even more coming up over the course of the next few months, we’re happy to present the newest video blog from CCP Seagull, Executive Producer for EVE Online.
In this video, CCP Seagull touches on a massive step for the EVE Universe, with the relocation of the all new hardware and infrastructure that supports it to a completely new data center, as well as how you can get involved in real life science by playing EVE Online and contributing to Project Discovery.
In addition to this CCP Seagull also reveals a gift of 200,000 unallocated skillpoints for the recent issues and extended downtimes that Tranquility has experienced. These skillpoints will be delivered before the weekend as compensation to each character who had an active skill queue between 2016/02/24 and 2016/03/01.
Check out the latest video blog here, which also includes a little more information on Fanfest, the elections for CSM XI and more!

Winter is passing, and the third month of the year marches upon us. There’s much to see and do, and we have our eye on what the community's up to, too. In this March edition of This Month in WoW, we want to not only highlight some of the in-game activities for this month, but also spotlight some exciting esports and community events and creations.
March 25, 2016 marks the 8th anniversary of the release of Patch 2.4, which brought the Isle of Quel’Danas, Magister’s Terrace, and Sunwell Plateau to World of Warcraft. Inside Magister’s Terrace, the ominous Kael’thas Sunstrider awaited players’ company with a memorable quote:
Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Tempest Keep was merely a setback. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some blind, half-night elf mongrel?
