EVE Online Partnership Program Updates

Partner-curious Capsuleers,

Last November, we had the pleasure of introducing a new EVE Online Partnership Program to support our fantastic community of video content creators, bloggers, podcasters, and third-party developers.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are happy to say that we have already partnered with over 90 talents of different crafts from the EVE Online community who keep delivering engaging and entertaining content to the players!

You can find a list of current EVE Online Partners below.

The interest in the program has been beyond our wildest dreams, and we continue to work at digging through the mountain of applications that came through to our inbox. If you applied, then we should be getting back to you in a couple of weeks. Thanks for bearing with us!

So far, we distributed thousands of SKINs to our partners, along with PLEX and countless Omega minutes. We have also helped partners coordinate interviews with EVE Online developers and have more plans to continue updating and iterating on the program.

This affiliate program offers EVE Online community members a chance to earn a commission from purchases made in the first 30 days by new EVE Online players. Everyone interested can visit Admitad Affiliate Network website for more details on how to get started. The program offers 30% commission of any purchases made by new players in the first 30 days, but members of the EVE Online Partnership Program earn will have the rate increased by an extra 10%. Note - if we detect any form of abuse to the affiliate program, such as self-referrals or mass new account creation by existing players, then we reserve the unconditional right to withhold or refuse affiliate earnings for any reason solely at our discretion without providing further details.We are always on the lookout for ways to reward community members who actively work on bringing new Capsuleers to EVE Online, but we will act swiftly whenever a system is misused.
Striving for Excellence

We have learned a lot over the last several months and are making a few adjustments to our program guidelines to ensure they are in-line with the core values that are important to us. We are also expanding our FAQ to cover some of the questions we have received from you.Please visit the main EVE Online Partnership Program page, and do not forget that a lot of useful information can be found in the official EVE Online Content Creation Terms of Use.

How Eve Online's corps recruit fresh blood for the space game's wars

When most of us hear about Eve Online, it's because of some record-breaking battle that's just annihilated an eye-watering amount of real-world value from the game. World War Bee 2 just set a new record with the Massacre at M2-XFE, which resulted in a combined loss of $378,012 (about £267,400) for the belligerents, who collectively destroyed some 3,404 ships - including 257 Titans, Eve's largest and most expensive capital ships.


While the massive capital ships represent most of the actual value involved in Eve's battles, the conflicts also demand huge amounts of time and dedication by vast numbers of players. The coalitions fighting the war - groups formed by Eve's massive player-controlled corporations - need a steady stream of new recruits to maintain the war effort. They need fresh capsuleers, new players who are equipped with enough know-how to help battle enemy ships or act as scouts.


The problem is, Eve Online has a bit of a reputation for being difficult to get into. That initial difficulty curve is infamous, even among Eve players. A well-known cartoon among community members depicts a chart with the initial learning curves of MMOs like WoW and The Lord of the Rings Online, which appear to rise gently over time along the x-axis. High above them is a black line that represents Eve, which is depicted as a sheer cliff littered with the mangled bodies of players who have attempted to scale it and failed.
