Tony Gonzalez, EVE Online's Lead Writer, and Scott Holden, Lead Content Creator were at Gen Con where MMORPG spoke to them about the story behind the Empyrean Age.

CCP Games has announced that its UK players are now able to pay for their monthly EVE Online subscriptions in pounds sterling. This alternate payment method was introduced to accommodate requests by the UK community to pay in British Pounds rather than in Euros, which results in an approximate 20% price reduction for them to access to the immensely popular, award-winning massively multiplayer online sci-fi videogame.
