Crucible 1.1.3 will be deployed tomorrow, February 7th, during the regular daily downtime. No extended downtime is scheduled. The patch addresses a C++ runtime error some players have been running into lately, along with adding some much needed backend additions for devs. Patch notes and information about patch size can be can be found by scrolling to the bottom of this page.

The next mass test on our test-server Singularity will be on Tuesday, February 7 at 20:00 UTC. In this mass-test we will be testing the latest performance improvements to the overview window and brackets in space. The SisiLauncher tool is available for the Windows client, otherwise please follow the instructions on the Singularity page in Evelopedia.

Testing should last around 60 minutes. All participants will receive two million skillpoints on Singularity.

Please refer to this thread for more information about how you participate in the test, and this EVElopedia article for more information on mass testing.

The new EVE Online website (discussed in this blog) is going to undergo a few final tweaks and is scheduled to release next week, instead of this week as originally estimated.

At the same time the new website will be revealed, the resources and information which players have sought on the EVE Online site, will be made available on a new community website which should prove to be quite an improvement in terms of browsing and locating what you need. 

We look forward to showing you the two websites and wish you all a great weekend!
