Oz’s House of the Evil Dead

PI (Planetary Interaction) was introduced in the latest expansion, and CCP have finally seeded the control structures to get it started. I bought some, and started building my wonderful little mining colonies almost straight after the server came up.

Economically, they’re probably not all that viable, but I’m doing this for my own pleasure rather than my normal interests of making a shedload of isk.

I’ll be honest and say I haven’t looked at all the guides (altho DV has put together a great video tutorial for Eve-Uni), I was more interested in trying to figure it all out on my own. It’s the first time in a while I’ve been able to do that in Eve, so whether this is a waste or time or not, it has achieved my simple goal of doing something ‘new’ in the game for the first time in, well, a very long time.

Mandrill from I Am Keith Neilson is conducting CSM interviews. Here’s tyhe questions/answers that I’ve sent him…

Do you have a website/blog, if yes what is its address? If not, where can people go to find out what you stand for?

yes, Omberzombie.com

How long have you been playing?

I started in eve in Beta 6 and when the beta finished I was put into forced hiatus from the game for 2 weeks while I waited for the game to arrive from the UK. So pretty much from the start.

What drew you EVE in the first place?

I stumbled across the CCP/Eve website while I was searching for mods for Space Empires IV. Intrigued by what looked like an online version of that game, I signed up to the beta and eventually got accepted. I downloaded the client, loaded it up and then spent the next week locked in front of my PC only leaving when there was a down time or a random crash. Eve was like nothing I had ever seen. I still get that sense of awe now and then.

Kudos to CCP Charlie & Prawn who I’m sure worked their asses off for this one.
