Maybe it was the World of Warcraft Halloween and Scourge invasion events combined, the sudden rush of my small guild trying to reach 70th level before the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is released, the return of Melmoth to Azeroth EU, or simply a bit of ennui, but I ...

My current agent in EVE Online starts a conversation by saying I won't believe what she's about to tell me. There are furries in an adjacent system. It is good to know that the Minmatar Republic has furries, just as the Caldari State does. I am about ...

I pop in to New Eden to run a mission or two with my low-standing agent, hoping to boost my standings and wallet a bit so I can find a better quality agent and fund my inevitable loss of ships and equipment when I start engaging in PvP combat. ...

Still being wet behind the ears in EVE Online's galaxy of New Eden I am far from capable of spearheading an attack in low-sec, but that doesn't mean I cannot be useful in a fleet. Whilst I understand that ratting, particularly in high-sec, needs little more than tanking and ...

Finding a new agent to work with in a completely new region is not as straightforward as I would like. I know how to find agents, that isn't a problem, it's more that the agents are presented in the organisational charts in order of agent quality, an order that ...

I have been a bit preoccupied of late to concern myself with running too many missions in EVE Online, what with preparing to relocate a few regions distant after joining a corporation as well as being in a different country for a while. Unfortunately, I was in the middle ...
