Snowstorm Hits CCP, Clone Stations Report Unusual Objects
December 31st, 1969
As some of you may have heard, a freak snowstorm hit our server room earlier this morning causing a brief, extended downtime. While we were able to minimize the effects of the storm on our hardware, our current estimates is that the effects of said storm will be in effect until downtime January 6, 2009. Capsuleers should be advised that their clone stations may have been affected by the snowstorm. Again, we are aware of the issue, and hope that you enjoy this burst of winter in New Eden.
EVE TV Looking for Alliance Tournament Advertisments
December 31st, 1969
As in the past, we are offering advertising slots for players to use during the live broadcast of the Alliance Tournament finals. These advertisements will be played between studio and in-game feeds and will reach a massive live audience of EVE players. Simply put: this is the biggest ad space available for EVE players and yet again it will cost you absolutely nothing to submit an advertisement.
Read the instructions below and submit your advertisement!
General Rules
- All video and audio material must be EVE-related!
- All music and sound effects must be from EVE Online. Due to copyright issues, we cannot and will not accept anything else. This is not negotiable.
- The item/service being advertised must be EVE-related.
- The advertisement must be suitable for all ages (no swearing/nudity).
- Content must be respectable (no attack ads) and suitable for broadcast.
- We have the final say on these issues - if your video is rejected we will say why and your welcome to try to fix it.
Technical Rules
- 1024x576 Resolution, 1:1 aspect ratio. This is very important: advertisements will be rejected if in any other format.
- 30 Seconds long max.
- WMV, AVI, and MOV are acceptable formats.
- Video quality is more important than file size. That said: don't make a 30-second long 2 gb file, please.
Copyright issues repeated
This comes up every time so this will be the final ruling and comment regarding copyright issues:
All audio must be from EVEOnline the game, this includes music and sound effects. The only exception is recording your own voice. All Video must be in-game or of your own creation completely.
Resources
As mentioned above, you can use any of EVE's music and sound effects as well as any music by RealX.
