Boxed Edition

In case you didn't know, EVE is being released in a boxed edition this expansion. Best Buy has is coming out in two days time.

I really hope it draws some more people into the game. The 60 day "free" playtime included is double what you normally get in other online games like WOW or EQ.

I'm really bummed they took down the forums. I was really looking forward to Halada's new guide today. Guess I will have to wait a while longer...

More Apocrypha Goodness

OMG!

Halada's Mining Guide is what got me going when I first started EVE. And I would bet a lot of ISK this is true for a lot of people.
