EVE Online Speedlinking for February 9th, 2008

It's been a while since I last did a speedlinking post - November 23rd of last year to be exact, and that's just darn too long. Now I used to do them on Fridays, but that proved too difficult to fit into an already busy week day. So now, I'll start posting them on Saturdays, the last day of the week anyways.

Here are the stories that got my attention this past week.

• MMORPG.com: EVE Online - Review Background
• Montreal Player Meet on the EVE forum post - and my post on it!
• Xyliana gets her own blog
• And Zapatero follows. Or was it the other way around?
• Crovan, famous for his Tracking piece on WDA podcast #26, joins with his own!
• And while were onto the subject of blogs, here's another by Alexander Hamilton
• Nate Combs is hard at work on a political piece - see the draft here
• An interesting thread over at The Escapist on the subject of training
• Massively is looking for EVE bloggers for those interested
• Nuyan's Hangout is another new blog you should keep an eye on
• Wilhelm2451 has Five New Wishes for EVE and Massively has its say
• WDA #26 in case you missed it has a great piece by Crovan on Tracking (@ 36:50min)
• Last but not least, Urban and Blinky go at it again, and we're all the more happy

Enjoy!

EON Alliance survey now live!

My mates Zapatero, Editor of EON magazine, on behalf on Nate Combs (the other mate), EVE Online's representative over at Terra Nova, are conducting an alliance survey to better understand the motivations of players and the effort needed in getting such a large group of players to work together.

As Zapatero puts it:

To help us further in our understanding I've put together a survey to find out what people's opinions are about their own alliances and alliances in general. The survey does not ask for any character or alliance names so everything is very anonymous.

So head on over to >> complete the survey <<. And this goes for anyone who's ever been part of an alliance, whether you're still in it or not.

The survey will close 10am GMT on Feb 18th. The results will be studied and used within an article we have planned for the next issue of the magazine. Soon after publication the data will be made available to the entire community.

Zap, you owe me a pint!

The next Montreal EVE Online Player Meet

As I returned to EVE after a short break, I had an evemail waiting in my inbox. This brief mail was from fellow Montrealer and EVE player Cartboard Box informing me of a player meet that was being organized on the 22nd of February. So I headed over to the EVE forum thread and added my voice to the discussion.

If you're interested in meeting up with a bunch of EVE buddies over beer and greasy food, then let us know on the EVE forum thread. This would be my 3rd such event that I would attend - this being the first.

I'll make sure to bring a camera to get some pictures of these fine folks!

Looking forward to it.
