[h3]THURSDAY NIGHT - CHARITY DINNER WITH CEO AND DEVS[/h3]


Join EVE Fanfest attendees and developers for a special evening of interesting conversation and a wonderful dinner at the magnificent Kolabrautin restaurant on the top floor of Harpa on the first evening of Fanfest.

This unique event supports the Children's Hospital (Barnaspítali Hringsins), a division of the National University Hospital of Iceland in Reykjavík. Besides a spectacular 3-course dinner, drinks will also be included, and you will get both a unique memorabilia as well as a special thank-you document signed by the EVE devs and the CEO of CCP.

Be sure to grab your chance quickly to wine, dine and converse with CCP's CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson and the CCP developers.

Included: welcome drink, 3-course dinner, beer and wine, exclusive memorabilia and signed thank you document.

[h3]FRIDAY NIGHT - PUB CRAWL WITH A DEV[/h3]


You must be 20 years of age or older to participate in this event!

This year´s pub crawl will return to its original form, with our usual spelunk around the 101 downtown area. Experience the nightlife of Reykjavik with fellow EVE players and members of the CCP Dev team during Fanfest's Pub Crawl with a Dev on the Friday night.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of dark bars, funky cocktail lounges, thumping clubs and classic taverns across Reykjavik. The theme of the night is simple - mind-blowing fun! You won't want to miss this unique experience, so be sure to get your ticket as soon as possible and sign-up with your favorite Dev (group sign-up will take place in Harpa during Fanfest).

Included in the price: Dev group, beer, shot glass, drink tokens and final destination party.

[h3]SISTERS OF EVE[/h3]


We invite players to bring their wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, or just friends, to accompany them on the trip to Iceland and participate in this excursion that takes place during the Friday of Fanfest.

Not only that, but Sisters of EVE pass holders are invited to join in at Fanfest on the Saturday, including the Party at the Top of the World! Information about the tour will be announced very soon.

[h2]Festive Capsuleers,[/h2]

Today the season of celebration has arrived in New Eden! With it comes Naughty or Nice and all the events therein!

[h3]13 days of EVE[/h3]
The popular 13 Days of EVE event returns for the holiday season, with free rewards available daily for logging in as an Alpha or an Omega between 12 Dec and 7 Jan. Upgrading to Omega will mean you get better free gifts plus all the Alpha rewards too! The improved rewards include an unreleased Permaband SKIN, exclusive Facial Augmentations, more snowballs, more Skill Points, more Boosters, more Abyssal Deadspace Filaments, and...you guessed it...even more besides!

[h3]Chilling Spree[/h3]
In addition - and back by popular demand but with a slight…holiday twist - you will once again be able to receive a great amount of Skill Points (and mysterious travel rewards) for completing daily NPC and Capsuleer-hunting challenges in the festively-named Chilling Spree event. Be aware though, you're going to need those snowballs from the 13 Days of EVE to complete the missions in Chilling Spree, so make sure you log in daily and stock up.

[h3]Melted snowballs[/h3]
Do you have melted snowballs from past events? You’re in luck! Head over to the Yoiul Festival Snowball Exchange located in numerous places in Hi-Sec and use the Meltwater-Snowball Exchanger to trade in those melted snowballs in exchange for brand new ones to use in Chilling Spree!

[h3]A mysterious travel filament[/h3]
Surprise gifts and visits are synonymous with this time of year, so keep an eye on your daily login gifts during the 13 Days of EVE, as you never know what you might get and where it might take you and your fellow pilots in Null-Sec! The RDLF-09 Filament is……especially exciting. These filaments are available exclusively during the holiday event, so make sure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to surprise your fellow capsuleers.

[h3]New Eden Store Sale[/h3]
There will also be a holiday sale in the NES, with savings of up to 50% offered on selected SKINs during a series 24-hour sales, running every Thursday until 11:00 UTC between 12 December and 3 January!
