The eve of Dominion… erm… in EvE.

Blizzard. Those motherfuckers.

I awoke one morning in August with a bad headache, $60 of charges on the credit card, and a deep-seated feeling of regret. The confirmation emails confirmed the horror: at some point during the previous night’s inebriation I had flipped the switch on my WoW account and transferred servers to play with my buddies. I said I might as well get my money’s worth and ended up going in for another 3 months of instance grind. And with all the grinding, EvE was neglected and eventually the subscription was cut because I just wasn’t spending time playing the game. FML.

Good thing for me, CCP is quite forgiving. So here we are, hours away from the highfalutin’ newfangled Dominion expansion–subscription engaged.

Dominion features I’m personally looking forward to:

• Pretty Planets. I saw the screens. Those babies look good.
• Chromium-based in-game-browser. That old IGB was a motherfucker. I use Google Chrome every day because it’s faster than a cheetah on speed, and I look forward to much of the same.
• Revamped Mail System. When I was in E-Uni, I’d spend an hour a day sifting through mail. No fun, sir.

There’s also massive sweeping changes to Sovereignty. This is big, I guess. I’m still a noob flying solo in hi-sec. Perhaps soon I’ll see about joining a halfway decent corp.
