It was only a matter of time. In my case, it was less than 30 minutes after the servers came back up and I received my first medal, part of the Quantum Rise expansion.
Some back story is needed here. A fellow corp mate was playing around with his Carrier, toying with some of our war targets. Everything was fine, he was laughing about the engagement. Then the tone of his voice in went from playful to panic.
“Guys, uhm, HELP!!!”
We make out best speed to assist him and in the end, we were successful. Needless to say, he was very happy to not have lost his carrier.
When I logged into EVE last night, I had received a medal:

I am honored to have received a medal, but the “Star of Manlove”? Yeah, we are a fun bunch in our corp. We like to shock each other with “lolz” moments.
So, what kind of medals have you received so far? Any ideas for some fun medals to give to your fellow corp mates?

Seems that is is not dead, he is very much alive. Many new pieces of information in here. It’s a huge post and worth reading every bit. It’s revealed about some of the intergration changes that are coming, more to be announced at fanfest. Look for information about Eveolpedia, in game trading for GTC’s, etc.. He hints are fanfest having much more to reveal.
To make things even cooler now, the Quantum Rise features page is up on the EVE site (http://www.eve-online.com/features/QuantumRise).
What caught my eye was the hud changes. Now, you will be able to move the combat hud to a different location on the screen!! There is some info on the weapons grouping and many of the other new features, including a screenshot of the new stargate graphics.
Man, I can’t wait for this thing now!!!
UPDATE: Seems I won’t have to wait long, it’s being deployed on November 11th!!!
AWESOME!!!!

I’ve talked about a few new things that are coming, certificates, linked weapons for reloading. Well, it’s official, there is a new expansion coming.
EVE Online: Quantum Rise (http://www.eve-online.com/pressreleases/default.asp?pressReleaseID=48). There is some basic information on this page, more information is coming. What we have to look forward to so far are some additional Trinity graphics updates, the weapon linking for reloading, improvements to the autopilot system and more yet to be revealed.
Tomorrow evening, there is a live dev blog to discuss certificates and medals which I suspect, will be part of the next expansion as well, it should be an interesting discussion (http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=2432&tid=1&sid=746968537).
