CCP Wrangler has just made the kind of announcement that nobody ever wants.  A new addition to CCP, Taera, has passed away.  I’m sure everyone will join me when I wish my sincerest condolences to her family, friends, and coworkers.

It is with the deepest sorrow that we share with you the news about the passing of Associate Community Manager Laura “Taera” Genender. Although she was with us for only a short time, she connected with our community through her selfless grace and enthusiasm. Even before she joined our team, her professionalism at MMORPG.com elevated the state of our industry and made us all stronger because of it. Our thoughts and our hearts are with her family. Though you may not have ever had the pleasure of meeting her, we ask that you include them in your thoughts as well.

EVE’s community continually amazes me with all the different contributions people put back into it for everyone to benefit from.

TItan Weekly is a relatively new podcast that’s off to a great start, and already at episode six.  To accompany it, today they’ve released the first of a weekly comic series called — you guessed it — TItan Weekly: The Comic.

Give the comic and a podcast a try!

It looks like CCP have turned their eye to EVE security, meaning CONCORD response and standings hits.  There’s a lot of changes that they’re looking at, but one that caught my eye:

In addition, the highly requested feature of removal of insurance in CONCORD related events will be implemented in the near future.

Most people who play EVE will probably know exactly what type of player that change is going to affect the most.  Click here for the full dev blog contents.
