Dear space tribe,
I'm curious to hear from those of you who have gone above and beyond and contributed something to the community outside of just playing EVE. It could be that you run a blog, make songs, report on events, host player gatherings, make tutorials, create videos, run a fan site or create programs and apps to help your fellow pilots enjoy EVE. This is by no means a definitive list of community contributions, only some examples.
What I'm interested to know is how making those contributions has affected you as an EVE player and/or how it's affected your life beyond the game and the community. What have you learned, what skills have you discovered that you didn't know you had, what doors have been opened etc etc.
Reply here and don't be shy (but in case you are, feel free to send me a private message instead) CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |-á@ccp_guard |

Pointing out and fighting for the flaws in CCP's censorship of a Eve based community.
I have learned to never give up, never back down, and fight oppression. Though doing so in a calm collective and positive way. |

I made a simple website to track your wallet and trading assets over time (see my sig). It's used by myself and a few trader friends. How did it affect me? It made trading a little easier for a few of us! Track your wealth with EVE Stats: https://ohheck.co.uk/EVEStats/home.php |

"I told you I'm not coming out! Just go away or I'll call the police!" Hehe, you make me laugh, CCP Guard
As for going above and beyond, I don't know about that. I think it's more about the little things that everyone contributes. Me personally I wrote a how-to guide on starting your own corporation, my car has an EVE lettering bumper sticker, and I'll wear my red Minmatar t-shirt out in public from time to time (depending on laundry cycle). Looks great with my red Reebox shoes.
I'll freely admit however that ive been bored with the game as of late and have been playing TSW. All this emphasis on sov, nullsec and faction warfare just isn't interesting or compelling. I don't hate it (though I do hate nullsec alliance internal policies and politics), it's just not gripping. I'm in a state of non grippness.
So yeah, just my two cents. Btw if World of Darkness is anything like TSW, its going to be freaking amazing. |

For EVE? I don't know if I've done that much. Back when we had the Sansha Live events I would be up all hours of the day leading fleets consisting of the general public against Sansha where ever they popped up.
But my biggest achievement? Easily everything I've done for DUST 514. As an EVE player, it hasn't really done anything. But as a DUST player, I guess there are a fairly decent number of people that know me and my work, through the podcast CAST 514 and either DUST514base or DUST514.org. In the past, I was possibly considered the best source of information on DUST 514 available to the public. I even managed to get the name "Mr. Extrapolation" from CCP Praetorian (creative director on DUST 514) after taking bits and pieces and extrapolating gameplay, features and everything else to do with the game from single frames (yes, I seriously stayed up late at night going frame by frame to try and get everything I could). I must admit, I quite like the name.
But was it worth it? Absolutely. Even if I have managed to completely destroy any semblance of a sleeping habit I may have once possessed (which I partly blame on living on the other side of the world). The moment I actually met the DUST developers at Fanfest this year, I knew I had made an impact of some kind. I guess it's shown that I can actually write (in some weird convoluted fashion I admit, but it works).
As for the opportunities? Well, where do I start... http://www.dust514.org - the unofficial forum for everything DUST 514 http://www.dust514base.com - the blog site with everything else DUST 514 you need

Ive tried to figure out why there is such a difference between the group of players that enjoy PvP combat and those that do not. What I found (its whether or not you get The Rush) indicates the two groups will forever have different play styles, and trying to get one group to enjoy the others activities is doomed to fail. The best we can to is get everyone to understand and accept the situation. And by "everyone" I include Game Designers.
How has it affected me? Not too much actually. It helped me understand me and my reactions, and helped guide my finding activities in game I enjoy. My explanation seems to be well received by many, disputed by some.
Oh, and I helped with the AJ project to set up Site One. If you fly there you can even get a research abstract I wrote. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

About 3 years ago i was in college going for what would be equivalent to Bachelors in US. I had all this experience in my field yet could not find any work as a programmer as every company i applied to said we are looking for someone with at least 100 projects behind them.
I knew more than few programming languages and had a lot experience on the field web, mobile and desktop applications yet no portfolio == no job. I always need ISK so it was at that time that i started offering services for ISK ( not sexual ) but programming for ISK and i landed quite a few projects and few months later i was able to fill my portfolio.
I scored a job in one of the bigger software developer firms in my country and worked there for a year until i graduated. I then quit my job as i wanted to go for my Masters and this is where i am now my second year of my second college going for my masters.
However my portfolio that came mostly from eve sourced projects landed me a job that would pay for my living expanses for over a year, buy me a new PC and allowed me to completely renovate my apartment from ground ( pipes ) up.
I still offer programing for ISK and my last contribution to eve community is this:
http://gotttogankemall.netau.net/ A application that will take a COPY-PASTE of your ingame ship cargo or fitting scan and give you a total price for everything. Tool mainly meant for highsec suicide gankers. The prices are pulled via API so you know exactly how much your target is worth.
However as of tomorrow you will also be able to paste in D-SCAN results ( 'sort of FC to Scout tool' ) you will be able to COPY-PASTE in content of your D-SCAN and it will filter out and organize the result for easy and readable display for your FC so he will know what he is up to.
Along side that feature tomorrow i will also add ability to paste in Contract contents and Inventory items.

Started playing when I was 13, started programming due to eve when I was 14. Now I'm 21, landed a job due to stuff I programmed for eve (mostly personal things though). I'm currently finishing my bachelors and will be going for master as well.
I also developed a good understanding of english due to eve, which directly fed back in to learning CS theory and other things as well.
My life would almost certainly be much different without eve. |

Trying to help the forums. CCP ain't likin' it. "We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming. |

My Alliance (mostly me) have been writing a blog for about 2 years now. It seems to get moderate traffic, however a lot of it comes from South East Asian, where I'm assuming people were Googling for recipes for General Tso's Chicken and found my horribly offensive blog instead.
I'm not sure how it's affected me, I think I've expanded my vocabulary that deals with despising my own Alliance, and describing failure on a massive scale (again, of my Alliance).
It's a fun outlet and turns out to be an awesome reference to document the rich history of my Alliance (3 and a half years old, w00t w00t) We have a blog, it is terrible. How to fix Bounty Hunting |

Writing my fitter has actually made me very bitter about CCP. Everything related to third party developement is very poorly documented.
It's pretty clear CCP doesn't care about third party developers very much. It's nice to have access to the SDE, but it has multiple severe inconsistencies (example), also it comes without any kind of documentation about its structure.
Just like the wiki page about the DNA format (which is outright wrong on every aspect). Just like the install links for API keys. Just like how they keep fiddling with the typenames without telling anybody (link).
Also, it's been months since the last update about CREST.
Just my biased .2 cents. |
