Currently working on: completing major improvements to the maps (started in v3.30), due to popular demand- these include:

• showing station services in each system
• no. of asteroid belts in each system
• black and white printout friendly improvements
• showing constellation jumps
• highlighting high sec to low sec jump lines- both to warn players who don't want to venture into low sec, and to warn players who's sec status is -5.0 or below that they are entering high sec
• de-tangle the maps where possible (eg. get rid of crossed lines)
• small cosmetic improvements to make the maps clearer

"There are just so many cool things that have come in with Revelations, I'm going to be like a kid in a candy store for months to come. I can feel the siren call drawing me back in. I haven't felt so eager to play EVE since I joined..."

"After a very long wait, Eve Trade Finder version 1.5 has been released. Thanks to ol'desai for doing a lot of improvements to the code base."

"A new peak concurrent user record was set Sunday, Dec 3rd when 32,955 users were logged into EVE Online: Revelations. This would not be that significant if not for the outstanding performance the Tranquility server demonstrated under this enormous load."

Tranquility will undergo an extended downtime on Tuesday, 5 December from 1100 to 1500 GMT. During this time, a patch will be applied to Revelations including a number of fixes and improvements necessary after its initial deployment.

Patch Notes are now available. Some updates will be made to the notes over the weekend as more fixes and improvements check through the QA process, these updates will be highlighted in green text. Notification of updates will be made in this announcement and this forum discussion post.

You are encouraged to read the Revelations Patch Notes for the list of changes and improvements already in place.

Last night was amazing for a lot of reasons. The biggest release to date was deployed, we had a stable build we were happy with and we were able to deploy a lot of fixes and improvements to client and server performance.

Then, the size of the Tranquility cluster strikes once again, issues that crop up only when you have 15.000 pilots hammering our 150 server nodes. These are low-level issues which we have the whole server team working on and we're deploying server hotfixes in every downtime to fix these issues.

Additionally, we have a client patch release on Tuesday the 5th, which already has a lot of fixes to less severe client and server issues, but we need your assistance to make sure we're made aware of all issues you encounter. We encourage you to submit bug reports of what you encounter or reply to the deployment feedback thread in the EVE Information Portal forum.

So while we're ecstatic that Revelations is out, with new features and lots of optimizations and fixes, these low-level issues are our main concern. They will be addressed. Thank you all for hanging in there with us, it's because of pilots like you that the EVE exists today.

UPDATE: 29 November @ 1430 GMT

There is a known issue causing crashes with Dual Processor PC's. When warping to jump gates there is a chance that a CTD will occur. This is caused by a problem with Directx. In order to minimise the chance of this problem occurring please do the following:

• Set the exefile.exe process affinity in Windows Task Manager to a single cpu.


• Do not run with the client minimised and on autopilot.

These steps will not eliminate the chance of the crash occurring, but will minimise it. We are working finding a solution to this problem, but we have no ETA at this time.

"Today, the 24th of November, the peace loving forces of BoB report the destruction of one enemy ASCN Moros Dreadnaught, 23 hostile battleships and some support ships."

"The peace loving forces of BoB mourn the loss of two BoB frigates during the encounter"

"So... how will the Downfall of ASCN be judged you ask yourself...? Simple...
Either -

1.) When the ownership of Outposts in their home Region - Feythabolis - Drops to Three
(3) or lower - (currently 10+)

or

2.) When thier (ASCN's) numbers drop below one thousand (1k) members based on the official ingame rankings"
