I’ve sat on blogging about this for a while, but I figure since Eurogamer is covering it in this new article I figured it’s about as mainstream news as it can get.

Last week a portion of the EVE client source code was leaked to several torrent sites by an individual with obviously little else to do. Before anyone gets all in a furor over this, it was apparently a portion of *client* code, not server side code where all the important things to the game happen.

“Access to the source code for the EVE client exposes no security vulnerabilities, has no privacy protection issues, and poses no threat to our customers’ billing information.”

Whew.

So you’re safe, just don’t do something stupid like go looking for the source or discussing it on the EVE forums. Bad things can happen.

Ima Lady is trying something rather unusual: going on an exploratory romp through the EVE universe.

Now others have tried things like this before, in fact one individual has recently been to all the systems in EVE a player can reach. But I don’t think anyone’s blogged about their experiences with this level of descriptiveness.

I had heard rumours of a vast expanse of unpoliced space, where the strong held power, and the weak dared not venture. Great riches were to bound there, not to mention great fame. I imagined there was great beauty to be found there, and strange and wonderful people to encounter that just could not be found in my safe, boring home. I decided to go travelling. I decided to venture to 0.0.

The experience is being blogged at Eden Explored. Good luck, Ima!
