Much to the dismay of his instructors at the Caldari State War Academy, he decided to jump in a shuttle and head off to unsecure space in search of what he termed The meaning of life. Recently though, his actions have made some people wonder if his intentions are philosophical or financial in nature. His journey so far...http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1260&tid=7 Server Hotfixes Deployed this week and the next- September 19, 2006 To address the recent Tranquility issues, we'll be deploying more than usually of server side hotfixes.

Hackers have been using local channels to advertize macro programs for players to use ingame. Needless to say, macro use is a EULA violation. These macro programs more often than not contain a keylogger which is then subsequently used to gain access to player accounts. We trust that players will use their good judgement and never download or use macro programs of any kind. - The GM Teamhttp://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1257&tid=1 |
