The four major Empires of EVE have broken their long-standing peace and are marshalling their forces for war.

The website for the new expansion for EVE called Empyrean Age is now available at the link above. There’s a new trailer, some wallpapers, a list of features, information about the Tony Gonzales novel The Empyrean Age, and much more.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think this is going to be one amazing event for EVE. It looks to be finally making the compelling combat of the game accessible to those who might have otherwise avoided it, without watering the experience down for anyone. I can’t wait.

The wonderful duo of Benilopax and LaVista Vista have been doing the WDA Industry podcast for four episodes now, and I figured now that the site was live that it was about time to hit the guys up to have their show notes given exposure here as well.

Thankfully they’ve agreed, so you’ll notice a new category of “industry podcast”. That’ll show you all of their episodes thus far.

Just a quick note about the RSS feed here, if you subscribe to it you’ll get everything: the general blogs and news, the comic, and both podcasts. That might be a bit meaty for some who may prefer to subscribe to specific content, so I’ll be adding a nice RSS feed list for anyone to pick and choose how they’d like to receive their content.

Hope that helps, enjoy the new addition to the site, and keep the feedback coming! Also don’t forget about the live dev blog tomorrow, and the Faction Warfare testing happening this Saturday.

Well, this has been a long time coming, eh?

Gone is the old site hanging off of my own personal domain, winterblink.com. It took a while because someone was squatting this domain a little while after I started the comic, but I noticed it’d become available so I nabbed it and go to work.

This is a bit different than the last one, with more of a blog feel, but it should help out a lot going forward as I’m sure you’ll start to see soon. Things may look sparse here but expect improvements to come over days ahead.

Yes you’ll have to register to post comments. It’ll require an email address to verify you’re who you are, after that feel free to post comments at your leisure. If you want a fancy avatar of yourself to appear next to your post, this is dirt simple. Check out Gravatar. It’s free to sign up, and any blog software that supports it will grab your avatar from there without you having to do a damn thing. It’s based on your email address, so if it matches what you register here with then you’ll see a pretty picture next to your comments.

This all means a couple of things. First, there’s no more IGB support (for now). Second, this means you can post comments from home or at work, without requiring an EVE client to do so. I think this should open things up a lot to people who’ve been left out in this regard, and make things a lot more accessible overall.

If you have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to voice them to me personally by Evemail if you’re more comfortable with that, or by email. Hit the About page up top for that information.
