Eve-I, the major news and information site about Eve-Online, died at the beginning of September for a rumored server move but it’s still not back and it seems it won’t be anytime soon.

I used it mostly to read the dev blogs which are rather interesting but posted on a hidden section of the official website that you can access only if you are an active subscriber (which I’m not, currently). So I started to search for another fansite with the backups of those blogs, but without much luck. Till I found what I needed in the most obvious place: their feeds page.

I was trying to build a group on this site but it seems that it isn’t able to digest the feeds, so I moved the thing here. The archives are lost and volatile but at least I can read what’s new. In particular a detailed post about their server infrastructure and lag problems (dated 3 November).

Interesting stuff.

The fault doesn’t lie with the SQL software or hardware, it lies in our server software. I’m sure you’re all used to people blaming the SQL but usually it’s our own stuff which kills it the most :D
