17 Years of EVE - A Huge Birthday Celebration!

2020-05-01 - By CCP Dopamine

Greetings Birthday Capsuleers,

It is coming up to an incredible 17 years since EVE Online launched! Thank you, incredible and adventurous Capsuleers, for the fantastic memories and for continuing to write the history of New Eden!

The birthday is rapidly approaching, so get ready for a new event called the Capsuleer Day Clash and a daily Capsuleer Day Celebration login rewards!


Capsuleer Day Celebration

The 17th birthday of EVE Online will be marked by daily Capsuleer Day Celebration login rewards! Running from 5 May to 19 May, rewards will include SKINs, apparel, Skill Points, Filaments and Boosters, with Omega Clone State Capsuleers receiving all the Alpha rewards, plus bigger and better Omega gifts too.

You must log in on 10 out of 14 days during the event to receive all items, and Capsuleers who upgrade to Omega during the event can retroactively claim all the Omega rewards they missed before the end.


Capsuleer Day Clash

In addition, to commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Capsuleers in New Eden and earn goodwill with the independent pilots of the cluster, CONCORD, the Empires and Upwell are preparing a series of gifts for Capsuleers. However, a large-scale attack from the Triglavian Collective against their joint production and research facilities threatens to disrupt the celebration! CONCORD is requesting that Capsuleers seek out these besieged facilities in order to drive away the Triglavian forces and claim extra gifts.

There will be Capsuleer Day Clash event sites available from 7 May to 20 May throughout New Eden, restricted to allow Battlecruisers only, with more advanced sites all over Lowsec, Nullsec and wormhole space. Rewards will include new SKINs, limited time cerebral accelerators, limited time standings boosters and special limited time 10 pilot Needlejack Filaments!
