Death knight needs a companion. None of the pets I had as a paladin follow me to Acherus when I become a death knight, and I miss having a fluffy follower. But I know where to get them. Grabbing a friendly mage helps, starting in Dun Morogh ...

It is going to be a quiet few days at the tower in w-space. The main body of our fleet is ditched in high-sec, probably being pestered by mission agents, scammers, and the lure of buying shiny new ships on the market, and that's where they are going to ...

Raiding remains an impenetrably peculiar waste of time to some people. I raided for 18 months and enjoyed most of my time, even when progress was slow and difficult. I can appreciate seeing the funny side of raiding and the seemingly odd struggles that players continually put themselves ...

I get my fearsome new Onyx to the corporation tower in w-space safely. It's a few hours after the bumbling ambush attempt and the wormhole route between our home system and high-sec space is clear. My Crane is left back at my manufacturing base, to be picked up ...

I want to buy a new toy, which means scanning my way out of w-space back to New Eden. I make it out of our home system on the second attempt, and I don't just mean finding the wormhole. My ship's computer relays the message that 'the exit ...

Kiska's fallen, and can't get up. The strain of trying to be pure and holy for fifty-eight levels has taken its toll. The final straw is being trained at 58th level with a single upgrade to a healing spell, which is next-to-useless for a front-line tank who is ...

As the scanner boats return, with no fleet forming for the evening we decide on another couple of duels. Unlike last time, where I opt to duel with guns, I will fly a Caldari Caracal cruiser complete with missiles, giving me a good chance of striking hard and quick. ...

Whilst people are out scanning, I keep myself amused by wondering if I have found a bug or a feature. Taking my Manticore stealth bomber out for a spin, in case there happened to be vulnerable miners to harry, I warp cloaked back in to the tower's shields.
Taking care ...

Other people scanning is the sort of activity I can get behind. I am at the tower as two other capsuleers are looking for sites of specific Sleeper interest, or an exit to New Eden. One chap is searching for a rich gravimetric site which he hopes to ...

I don't think I've mentioned recently how much I like Livya. My feelings are entirely independent of her giving me the rather shiny bracers of valour, of course. And what a coincidence that it happens during the Love is in the Air non-Valentine's festival of 99% cocoa bitterness. ...
