Update: 10:30 AM PDT – We’ve made significant progress throughout the morning on implementing optimizations for the BlizzCon ticket website to better handle the load of purchase requests. We’re continuing to work on these updates, and we currently estimate that tickets will be available for purchase again after 12:00PM PDT today.

Further details regarding ticket availability will be posted on the World of Warcraft forums, and we’ll post another update here when tickets are up for sale again.

So start pounding F5 after noon!

I’ve started playing more EVE Online and less World of Warcraft, so I was excited to read about the next EVE Expansion Empyrean Age. its going to be released June 10th and will be including Factional Warfare. Also, in this expansion the in-game story will play a key role and the situation in the game will reflect events depicted in the novel of the same title by Tony Gonzalez. (EVE The Empyrean Age)

This expansion will also allow players and corps to wage battle for control of NPC factions and even certain regions of space. If you have not tried the game yet click the large image above and sign up for a free 14 day trial of the game, But I warn you, you just might get hooked. I’m still amazed at the sheer size of the universe. Also the Economy in this game is truly amazing, its largely controlled by players as almost any item in the game is manufactured from players. The economy is closely tied with the (also player driven) political aspect of the game. CCP (the creators of EVE) is so dedicated to creating a truly amazing economy they have even gone far enough to Hire a economist to assist in the development of the economic side of the game.

What can you do in the EVE Universe? literately anything, like the idea of becoming a Pirate? feel like profiting on taking advantage of others? go for it, Or you could become a bounty hunter and seek out the Bounty placed on the heads of pirates by there victims. Perhaps you’d rather profit from Constructing large scale ships for other players. Or even mining the raw materials used by manufactures to buld the ships.

Take my advice if you try one new game this year let it be EVE Online. Oh yea what kind of computer do you have? not that it matters, EVE will run on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
