**Update: PayPal should now be working properly** To celebrate the opening of the EON Store we are offering 50% off absolutely everything – the latest issue, subscriptions, poster bundles, the utter lot. That’s the EON Store by the way, not the EVE Store, which as one click will tell you, are separate entities. One offers magazines … Continue reading →

Here we go then, another EVE expansion is live! What are we on now; the 14th or 15th? Officially it’s #15, but of course that’s counting Castor, which CCP originally insisted was a “content upgrade” and Bloodlines, which was a feature that got delayed from Red Moon Rising. But who’s counting, eh? 13 or 15, … Continue reading →

Black Friday has always been a thoroughly American phenomena, but increasingly we find ourselves in other countries celebrating it as well. The first day of the Christmas shopping season, it’s become the day that retailers heavily discount their wares and millions of shoppers take to their cars to pack the roads and shops to hunt down … Continue reading →

Just because its been quiet around here doesn’t mean that very little has been going on in the MMM office. Apart from a secret little project we’ve been seriously pondering (as you will know we do like to prevaricate to an absurd degree), we’ve been quietly beavering away on the latest EON magazine while EVE enjoyed … Continue reading →

Guess what? It’s 3,000 days – almost to the second – since EVE Online was launched! It doesn’t sound as impressive as eight years, but given how infrequently a kiloday comes around, it’s quite a significant milestone. (Apparently I’ll be 16 in September, which perhaps explains why I can’t get up in the morning and … Continue reading →

When CCP switched out the Scorpion a couple of years back, from being a wonky Lego-like fiddler crab to a design that was more in keeping with it’s animal namesake, a fair few people complained. I didn’t. The old Scorpion was in my view a hideous abomination that was barely improved upon by the Trinity expansion, so to see … Continue reading →

CCP called a couple of press conferences last night to go over all the recent fury and protest over Incarna, vanity goods prices and whether CCP’s future microtransaction strategy is as dominated by greed as might have been suggested by leaked internal communications. I know this because I was listening to the first conference, which … Continue reading →

It’s fair to say that the plan to offer digital editions of EON has not gone how we would have liked. Originally we’d envisaged having them ready by the end of 2010, but it looks like the end of 2011 could be as wildly ambitious a target. The problem is one of integration, specifically the … Continue reading →

After an impressive 300 matches were played out over the spring, the inaugural EON Frigate League wound-up a few weeks ago and after an impressive ratio of 72% wins (38 out of 53 played), we can belatedly declare Noise as the champion. Prize monies totalling 500m ISK will be appearing in his wallet, with another 250m … Continue reading →

Having lost a month of production time due to the previous issue running late (blame Fanfest and the planned redesign), issue EON#024 has been completed almost on schedule. Copies of the magazine will actually arrive in the office early next week and will, assuming the postal workers don’t ragequit their jobs, be heading out in the … Continue reading →

It’s that time in the EON production schedule where my colleagues start badgering me for words and pictures and I in turn start haranguing CCP for raw materials from which to forge those words and pictures – all with a view to putting everything together into something that can hopefully be recognised as a magazine. … Continue reading →

Having missed the first opportunity to rummage around Captain’s Quarters, I was compelled to visit the headline feature to EVE”s summer season when it returned to the Duality test server over the weekend. I spent literally minutes walking around the cramped compartment, clicking on things that didn’t really do much and testing the springs on … Continue reading →

What about that 1.5 patch then, eh? The first thing that struck me after logging in after the server went up yesterday was the striking sky blue of my BPCs. It was as if angels had come down to redecorate my hangar in heavenly pastels. Then I did an agent mission and OH MY GOD! … Continue reading →

It’s that time in EON’s three-month cycle where I find myself neck-deep in things to do for the next issue. Sometimes this involves lots of reading, writing and editing (and re-reading, re-writing and re-editing) and other times I’m required to log into EVE all day, all of the night and long into the next morning … Continue reading →

For the last few months hundreds of pilots have been wandering the celestial maze of New Eden without direction, ending up in the wrong system due to navigational errors and being blown to the solar winds in their desperate efforts to reach a safe haven. But no longer. Yes, that’s right; EVE Strategic Maps has … Continue reading →
