HERO And PL Clash, PL Wrecks House

As PL and HERO continue to beat each other's heads in, the war just got much more serious. As the timer came out, HERO formed up almost 500 pilots in various ships. At first planning to go with their go-to doctrine of mixed DPS, Ewar, and support fleet, HERO was quickly caught on their back foot by PL.  Who had opted to bring in a "wrecking ball" fleet of mostly Nyx, Aeons, Archons. and mixed subcap support, putting the total PL numbers at around 100 pilots.  Local peaked at over 1000 during the heaviest fighting, as more people piled in.  Pushing TiDi to a peak of 7%.

Inept web hosts, and a battle report

Well, today has been extremely annoying as the host I went with for the new site has been having issues with their servers all day.  This is unacceptable, and I'm changing hosts to one that I know is reliable once I get the data from the hist I need.  In the meantime, I'll post an AAR of the PL/HERO fight in GE-8JV later today.

PL and HERO square off in 3GD6-8, some new site stuff

I've done an AAR of sorts for the fight in 3GD6-8 between HERO and Pandemic Legion today.

Find it here: http://www.iskmogul.com/hero-beats-out-pl-in-3gd-armor-timer/

I'm also really excited to talk about something new that I'm working on.  The site has changed quite a bit on the backend.  Some optimizations to the server and new ideas for features have begun to be implemented.  You guys should also be seeing some slight improvements in reliability and speed already.

The new feature I'm working on primarily is a new way of promoting promo codes for I Want ISK.  I'm currently in the planning stages now, and will talk more about it as work progresses.  Suffice to say, this will be a more interactive and enjoyable way for you all to make some of that dank ISK.

New I Want ISK Promo on iskmogul.com

I posted today's new promo on the new site.  FIND IT HERE.  I've also posted a bunch of different posts on the new site.  Some about EVE online, and some about other games.  I'll link a few below.

A short writeup on a brawl in GE-8JV between HERO and PL.

A post about the Humble Bundle deal for $4 copies of EVE starter packs, great for a new alt account.

An excellent video about the Pandemic Legion kill of a Revenant class supercarrier, now integrated into EVE lore

This is of course only a small sample of the content on the new site.  So be sure to check out the new site for EVE and general gaming news.  As well as my opinions on the goings on within these great communities.

Promo Code list improved, new site news

Finally got around to making the IWISK promos page less of an eye sore. Codes are now in an easy to use table.  You can sort by level, and show all the codes at once if need be.  But overall, this will be much easier to use and maintain than the poorly done list I had previously,

Please remember that this Blogger site will be updated a lot less often than the new site.  Please use the new site from now on.

New Site Is UP!

I've finished the first bit of work on the site, and it's coming along nicely.   iskmogul.com is now up and running.  I will continue to update the Blogger -based site when I can.  But if you want the newest EVE Online news, check out my new site

So Blogger has run it's course

Over the last week, I've had the majority if the blogs I write on Blogger deleted for being spam.  Despite the fact that there is nothing that violates Blogger ToS on these blogs that I can find.  I suspect it's going to eventually hit all my blogs.  As it appears that Blogger's automated review system has decided that all of them are somehow spam.

As such, I'm working on moving these sites to a self-hosted server.  That way I'll have no issues with this in the future.  The problem here is cost.  I can afford to move it over and pay the monthly hosting cost and domain registration costs.  But I'd like to offset it.  This is a plan I had from the beginning to grow this blog to a level where it made enough money to nullify the cost of writing for the blogs on a more consistent basis.

As such I'd ask you to use the  Need a PLEX? link above.  Please bookmark it and use it if you purchase a plex if you enjoy what I do, so that way I can continue to do it after this change.

I'm going to start with just ISKMogul Adventures to save on effort and cost.  I will continue to use these sites, and if they don't get deleted then I'll just slowly move them over to a new host anyway.  It sucks that this has to happen, but it doesn't appear that it's going to change.

I'll announce the new URL and move the content over in the next couple of days.

Also, .space is an extension I had been considering.  Anyone with thoughts for a new domain please feel free to comment below.

SOV shakeups, alliance leaks, and speculation. . .OH MY!

The past few weeks have been awash with speculation, alliance shuffles, conflict, and panic within the EVE community.  The announced SOV changes make up most of the discussion, with a lot of groups speculating about what will happen to the large coalitions that control most of null sec.

Meta Show Episode 12, a discussion of "Fozziesov"

The recent episode of the Meta Show with Mittani, Laz, Nystrik , and special guest progodlegend was an interesting one.  As expected, the primary topic was discussing the impact of the sov changes for EVE Online.  There are some interesting ideas about how to make null sec more valuable, how to encourage user engagement, and a few ideas to potentially change the way players play in null sec outside of sov warfare.  This is definitely one to watch.

[DEV POST] SOV Change and Entosis Link Feedback

CCP Fozzie sure made the headlines last week with the announcement of coming sov changes, a decision which has been meet with a wide array of emotions by the EVE Online community (mostly positive), today he made a new EVE-O thread to discuss changes and tactics with the EVE Online players, read on and make sure to comment on the link at the end of the piece to let him know what’s your take on this.

CSM: Behind The Scenes

During the Winter Summit we spoke with members of CSM9 including progodlegend, Sion Kumitomo, Ali Aras, Xander Phoena and corebloodbrothers to find out what their take is on the CSM, how useful they find it, and the relationship that the council shares with CCPs developers

GSF high-sec arm loses 250 Billion ISK

Goonswarm’s high-sec ganking arm, the Ministry of Love, suffered the kind of setback many miners and anti-gankers have long been only able to dream of.  Globby, a member of GoonWaffe [GEWNS] with access to the ship hangars of the Ministry, gathered a list of assets and then subsequently stole them all.  With a total value of nearly 250 Billion ISK he's quite a wealthy pilot now. Globby quickly left GoonWaffe to join Origin. [0RIGN], the central corporation of Black Legion. .

GSF Member Thyger's Excellent "This Is My Year" Video

Thyger of Goonswarm Federation has documented his most recent year in EVE while participating in nullsec PVP in a number of large scale conflicts. He has distilled that time into a very well edited video entitled 'This Is My Year'. Tengus, titans, and Thanatoi can all be seen fleet warping and engaged in combat.

While many players who are involved in such conflicts often have their graphics settings turned down in order to improve performance, this video serves as an impressive reminder as to how good EVE can look nearly 12 years since its release.

Another I Want ISK Promo

Another IWISK Promo! This new promo code is much easier.  Just have to be a little bit of an eagle eye to spot it.

EVE 10th Anniversary Symphony

I know that at this point, this is way out of date.  Nonetheless, I've been listening to this repeatedly recently, mostly because the Nullsec music is quite bland in contrast.  And I felt like sharing it for those few EVE players who may not have seen it.  Enjoy!

EVE Online Weekly: March 6, 2015 Feat. CCP Fozzie

This weeks big news was the forthcoming sov warfare changes with CCP drastically moving away from Dominion style warfare. CCP Fozzie stops by to clarify and talk briefly about the ideas behind the changes, which are a must read for any Nullsec resident.

More IWant ISK Promos!

I Want ISK has just passed 2 Quadrillion ISK awarded overall.  They've given out two promos to mark this occasion, and have increased the odds of winning in stellar pools.  Check this post for more info and promos. . .

~Meta Show~: Episode 11

This week's special guest was Manfred Sideous, who was the Pandemic Legion FC during the battle of B-R5. Along with The Mittani, Nystrik, and Laz, the group discusses the meta game of Eve Online.

The "Trollceptor" SOV Reaction

A lot of people are overreacting about the usage of the Entosis Link in the upcoming SOV changes.  CCP want so encourage more small gang warfare in Null, and they want to make it easier for smaller groups to take and hold SOV, while also making it difficult to have the hug cold war power blocs we do now.

[DEV BLOG] Drifter Statistics

This is CCP Affinity on behalf of Team Space Glitter and we would like to show you some week one stats on The Drifters that we released with Tiamat.




One of our goals with The Drifters was to further iterate on the new NPC AI we released with the Circadian Seekers.  It has been awesome to see how you all adapt to new challenges and we hope to continue reprogramming the NPCs of New Eden.

SOV Reworks and the potential for change

CCP Fozzie finally released the long awaited SO changes Dev blog today.  And it's quite dense, and full of a lot of interesting ideas.  As expected it will probably change to degree prior to release.  But that hasn't stopped the usual fanfare of  overreactions, theory crafting, and leadership planning from going into full swing within the EVE community.

IWant ISK Nears 2 Quadrillion Awarded. . .And some Promos

I Want ISK is fast becoming the best gambling site for EVE Online players.  The site is close to reaching a great milestone.

2,000,000,000,000,000 (Quadrillion) ISK AWARDED!

This solodifies the fact that we have awarded more than any other gambling website in the EVE universe.
Not only that, it took IwantISK.com roughly 1 year to achieve this amount in rewards.

Some of you have lost billions and some of you have won billions but what is most important is that you guys had as much fun enjoying the games I have created as I did creating these games.

PL Vs. HERO HP-64T Armor IHub Timer Video

Coming off my AAR from the fight between PL and HERO, HERO member Cyberking11 released a great video from the HERO perspective that I thought I should share.

[DEV POST] CSPA Charge Will Now Default to 0 ISK

Afternoon Space Friends,

Another quick post here to let you know of a change Five-0 have ready for testing on Singularity.
When Scylla is released, the default CSPA charge for newly created characters will default to 0 ISK instead of 2950 ISK.

For any existing characters that have their CSPA charge still at the default of 2950 ISK, the charge will also be changed to 0 ISK. Characters that have chosen to set their charge to any other value will be unaffected. All characters can still configure this setting as normal (via the Settings option in the Mail window).

In general, we want to be enabling social interaction in EVE rather than blocking it. The anti-spam value of this feature did not outweigh the downsides of requiring players (especially new players) to pay in order to talk to each other. Most experienced players already change their CSPA charge to 0, so we do not expect this change to negatively affect a large number of players.
As always we’re looking for feedback (in this thread) and reports on any issues found (using the in-game bug reporting tool) with this change.

Thanks in advance!

Pandemic Legion and HERO fight in HP-64T over Ihub Armor Timer

At around 23:00 EVE Time, HERO formed up to defend and rep the IHub in the Bloodline. system of HP-64T,  HERO was able to muster a mixed fleet comp of around 230 pilots against the PL fleet of around 150.

HERO had a fairly comprehensive fleet comp with Tengu/Eagle DPS support by the typical Minmatar Cruiser Logi.  The mixed Crucifier and Maulus Ewar wing was indirectly supported by  a fleet of Harpies.  There were also "Rushcat" fit interceptors to break PL locks, with bombers and Ishtars in reserve.

February 2015 Nullsec Recap

February was another slow month, however with the coming Sov Rework stated to be unveiled in early March hopes are high that the changes will allow for more consistent changes and wars.
