Faithful Capsuleers,

Amarr Foundation Day returns once more, so it's time to rejoice and celebrate the Empire and its people! There is a daily login event running until 11:00 UTC on 10 August where you can claim free rewards, as well as attend Amarr parades in selected systems, and there will even be an awesome player-run gathering in-game to check out!

By logging in daily during the Foundation Day event, you can claim free gifts such as Amarr-themed character apparel, Crown Imperial fireworks and Festival launcher, Khanid SKINs for the Amarr Shuttle and the Sigil, plus Skill Points to boost your training. Pilots in Omega Clone State will get bigger rewards, while also being able to claim the Alpha rewards too!

In addition, you can visit Foundation Day event sites and witness celebratory parades where there will also be daily challenges with Skill Point rewards. These will take place in the Amarr, Ardishapur Prime, Kador Prime, Khanid Prime, Kor-Azor Prime, Sarum Prime, and Tash-Murkon Prime systems.

What's more, there will be in-game player-run Foundation Day celebrations with a number of activities taking place, starting at 19:00 UTC on Sunday 9 August. Make sure you check out all the details on the EVE Online forums!

Weathered Capsuleers,

Chaotic storms of Abyssal energy - called Metaliminal Storms - will begin appearing randomly in nullsec space this August when the Metaliminal Storms update goes live, as an unexpected side effect of the Triglavian invasion! These roaming storms will move slowly between star systems via the gate network.

The wandering weather will apply system effects, not unlike those seen in wormhole space and Abyssal Deadspace, with a core of systems that contain the strongest effects, as well as a periphery of additional star systems exhibiting weaker versions of those effects, also.

These storms will affect Capsuleer vessels in a number of ways, providing new challenges and opportunities across nullsec frontiers. In addition to the system effects, the core systems will also have additional sites spawning that can be discovered by Capsuleers who venture into the storm for potential riches!

To learn more and discuss the Metaliminal Storms please head over to this thread on the official forums.
