About five years ago, on April 27th, 2008, I joined the Massively team and
wrote the very first issue of the
EVE Evolved column. Five years later, the column is still going strong and delivering its weekly dose of
EVE Online to thousands of readers. I used to worry about running out of ideas to write about, but regular game updates and hilarious player shenanigans mean there's always something interesting going on in New Eden. When
EVE hits its 10th anniversary in May, this column will have been running for just over half of the game's lifetime. In that time, I've written over 250 in-depth articles, guides, in-game stories and opinion pieces on
EVE Online and a few on
DUST 514.
As usual, I'll be celebrating this anniversary by rounding up this year's column highlights and giving away two
30-day Pilot's License Extensions to two lucky readers. To enter the competition, write a comment explaining which EVE Evolved articles from this year you liked best and what topics you'd like to see covered in the coming year. You will need an active
EVE account to claim the prize, so be sure to include your character name in your comment if you want to be in with a chance. If you'd rather not give out your character name or don't have an
EVE account but would like to give the game a go, you can
sign up a new trial account and use the name of your new character.
In this week's EVE Evolved, I look back at the highlights from the column's fifth year!

EVE Online seeks tourney commentators, plans dual character training for Odyssey
If you'd prefer to participate in the battles themselves, note that there will be a few changes to the tourney from years past. To start, Alliance Tournament XI will run over only three weekends, not four. Second, qualifying rounds and group stages have been replaced by double elimination from the get go. Next, from the second weekend onward, two ship types will be banned from the match by team captains. And finally, to fly with an alliance you had to have been a member since downtime this morning. Dev blogs covering all the rules, the broadcast schedule, and sign-up details will be coming soon.
[Update: CCP has been busy today! The official site has now also been updated with a dev blog announcing that dual character training will ship with the Odyssey expansion next month.]
