]]>As such, this policy has been renamed the "Monetization of Videos and Streaming Policy" given that it now includes information relating to promotion of twitch channels.
Given that this policy includes changes that will affect some of our streamers and the giveaways that they run, we would like to give seven days of notice regarding this policy change, which will come into effect at 23:59:59 on Wednesday, July 1st 2015.
If you would like to discuss this change in policy, you can do so in this forum thread.
]]>Due to the Battlecruiser changes being pushed back to after the tournament, the points cost for Battlecruisers and Navy Battlecruisers has been reverted to 11 and 12 points respectively. This has been updated on the rules page, and in the dev blog containing the rules.

]]>The connectivity issues are entirely out of our control, however we are actively working with our partners to mitigate the causes of problems that players are experiencing, and hope to have a solution as soon as possible. However, some ISPs will not talk directly to us when we contact them, because we are not their customers. You may need to have a conversation with your ISP to help try and resolve the issues you are experiencing.
In the meantime, if you are experiencing issues during play, you may find it useful to set the launcher to download all game assets, and allow it to do so during off-peak hours so that you have a full library of all game files.
You can set the launcher to download all content as follows:
Start the EVE Launcher, and click on the settings wheel in the top right corner of the launcher, as indicated here:
This will bring up the settings window. Navigate to the "Download" tab (listed down the left hand side of the window), and make sure that the check box titled "Download all the resource files." is checked, as indicated here:
This will ensure that your launcher downloads all game assets, rather than requesting them via Download on Demand.
In addition to this, if the connectivity issues are causing issues with loading launcher content and the launcher interface, you can log into EVE online directly via the exefile in your EVE Online install folder.
This will launch EVE Online without the use of the launcher, and allow you to log in directly through the client, as indicated below:
Please bear in mind that you cannot update your EVE Online installation via the exefile, and will still need to patch using the launcher, or the offline installer during off peak times.

If you are interested in attending please join us on Singularity, Tuesday, June 16th, at 17:00 EVE-time (=UTC). All participants will receive a small reward of two million skill points on Singularity.

]]>A total of 90 teams have put their names forward to enter Alliance Tournament XIII, but only 64 will be chosen to compete in this grueling contest.
For Alliance Tournament XIII, we extended the option to the teams that placed in the top 16 of Alliance Tournament XIII to directly buy-in to the tournament. Of those 16 teams, the 12 that elected to exercise this option are:
As 4 teams from the top 16 of AT XII elected not to use their buy-in, a total of 48 teams were selected in the random draw. The teams selected are (in order):
A video of the draw taking place can be seen here. Teams that were unsuccessful in the random draw will have their PLEX deposit returned after 2015-06-16.
The four remaining places in Alliance Tournament XIII will be distributed by silent auction. The silent auction opens at 11:00 UTC on 2015-06-12, and closes at 11:00 UTC 2015-06-15. To enter, you must have originally entered the random draw. You must then have your alliance executor send an EVE mail with the subject “Alliance Tournament XIII Bid”, with the number of PLEX you wish to bid in the message, to the character “CCP Logibro”. The alliance executor must also place the relevant number of PLEX in the redeeming system. Any bid made without the requisite number of PLEX being placed in the redeeming system by the close of the auction will be considered invalid. Winning teams will be announced on 2015-06-16. If multiple bids are submitted by an alliance, only the latest one before close of auction will be considered.
And finally, we are pleased to announce our player commentators that will be joining us in the studio this year. They are:
