Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.05 12:16:00 - [121] Day 34 -- The Cemetery I visited a bunch of "prime" worlds in Amarr and Khanid space. While there is a bunch of backstory behind these systems, there's not a whole lot to see other than planets and stations. The Molea system is another story entirely, though. Some years ago, someone started collecting frozen corpses and hanging them in a great cluster in Molea. The practice spread and soon there was a huge graveyard. As CCP changed the rules on biomass persistance the cemetery needed to be upgraded. Corpses were put in secure containers. When secure containers got a timer, a POS was added. I've heard it rumored that CCP stepped in to make the cemetery permanent when POS secure containers also got a timer. Either that, or someone goes from container to container and touches the corpses once a month. In any event, heres a pic of the strange player-made sight: Cemetary
Sanguinius Starcast	Posted - 2008.09.05 17:15:00 - [122] Dude, keep up the awesomeness. I have just gotten off of my trial account, so much of this means a lot less that it should to me currently, but I like to imagine I'll visit these places myself one day and look back and think... Dude... Good work.
Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.05 21:42:00 - [123] Edited by: Harper Hendee on 05/09/2008 21:42:33 I need some more ideas on where to go next. I've just about exhausted the possibilities of the COSMOS clusters (still a couple of sights left, though). Here's some of the possibilities in the future: 1) Tour into the only friendly 0.0 space available to me (hint: its in the NE) 2) Try and find the mother of all wreckage heaps in Great Wildlands from this article: http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=utype&tyid=4&cid=20000140 3) Do a suicide run through BOB down to executive outcomes and back. See this map for clarification of what that means. 4) Explore some more non-COSMOS complexes: 4.a) Tsuna's Private Compound 4.b) Kazka Blockade 4.c) Mul-Zatah monastery 4.d) Angel's Red Light district 4.e) Old Meanie 4.f) Gallente Asteroid Miners 4.g) Nefantar Ruins 4.h) Drone plexes 5) Do some exploration w/ scanners to see what pops up.
Dinsdale Pirannha Gallente	Posted - 2008.09.05 22:32:00 - [124] I would think CCP would have a complete list of the atypical locations in the game. Given the fabulous advertising you are doing for the game, they should be happy to give it to you.
Djana Libra Caldari Federation of Freedom Fighters Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2008.09.07 18:07:00 - [125] harper if ya wanna visit wait a few weeks, we're kinda busy atm <SIG> I bought the wife a toy Deimos to have fun with while i play eve! </SIG>
Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.08 17:25:00 - [126] Day 35 û The Azure Canyon IÆve had a pair of tourist tickets to the Azure Canyon (also called the Azure Chasm) for about a month now. I spend much of my non-travel time in nearby Deltole, as a good place to make isk in a non-boring manner. I decided to head over to Colelie to have a look at the canyon now that I had some free time. First, though I needed an ally to help me brave the dangers of the level 4 plex. Enter Ural Almerhas. Ural contacted me near the start of the galactic tour. He was interested in something a little more exciting than running missions in Empire space. I directed him to CVA in Providence. It looks like he took my advice and has been happily ratting, mining, and fighting in Providence ever since. His shield tanked Drake was the perfect buffer to soak up DPS from the angry rats in the Canyon. We met up in Deltole, along with another reader, Bolvor. Bolvor is still fairly new and was flying a cormorant, so this level 4 was likely a little tough for him. When we got to the plex entrance, I realized I had left the tickets back in Oursulaert. Never fear, there were some scalpers presentà Scalpers at the Entrance The entrance spawn only drops 2 passes, so if you have a larger group, youÆd best plan ahead. The acceleration gate requires a Tourist Pass, so Bolvor had to turn back to Skeleton Comet, while Ural and I headed in to the first room. I think the scalpers respawn rate keeps the plex from getting overly camped. First glance at first room. Check out the big rat Alerus Exire Stuff to blow up Green Pleasure Gardens Off to the next room. The second room is a bit harder. There were no battleships that I saw, but Brutix battlecruisers occur in pairs. And of course there is the Azure Stoneà First look at second room Brutix rat Azure Stone 1 Azure Stone 2 Ural found a janitor I found some Exotic Dancers! Make sure to watch for the named rat. HeÆs got a Black Market keycard that he drops. Unfortunately, thereÆs only one of him. So Ural and I took the other gate to the Ion Field, since it requires no pass. The Ion field is a little disappointingà Spider drones, batteries, and a snippy agent We warped back to the entrance and worked our way through again, hoping for another Black Market keypass. No luck. I decided to brave it solo to snap some pics. Luckily, it had already been mostly cleared by another plex runner. Entrance to Black Market Enemies in the black market (mostly wrecks, thoughà) A prison at the Black Market?!? All in all, Azure Canyon is a pleasant romp. ThereÆs plenty of things to shoot and its very doable with a partner. My only issue was that some of the quest items had been looted and not respawned yet. All the rooms had clearly been visited before, so the spawns werenÆt quite as powerful as they might otherwise be. If you are interested, head on over.
Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.08 22:10:00 - [127] Day 36 û The Search for the Elders begins IÆve got a new wild goose to chase. The elder fleet! IÆve been reading news items for the last month along the lines of ôThe Elder Fleet went that-a-way!ö ôMy brother got killed looking for the Elder Fleetö and ôI found the wreckage of the pilgrimsö IÆve decided to take a look myself. This article put me over the edge. A salvager finding a huge wreckage field sounded like the land of milk and honey to me. It even listed the constellation. I put together a probeship so I could use scan probes. What better ship than a Minmater Probe, I thoughtà And I started at the beginning, Sarum Prime. A few months ago, a fleet of minmater ships shows up from nowhere and hosed concord at Yulai. IÆve already visited the graveyard there. From there, they moved on to Sarum Prime. They were defeated there by Lady Jamyl Sarum. SheÆs the Amarrian Empress now I guess. Since then, the Elder fleet has been on the run, last seen heading towards the Great Wildlands. So I passed from Amarr Prime to Sarum Prime and asked some simple questionsà Anyone seen the Elder Fleet? I really donÆt have much experience scanning, and its an entire constellation, looking for who knows what. I needed help. I asked one of our newest alliance membersà You game? Seemed like Knight4Her would be a good choice. He was looking for dangerous tasks on alliance chat. Anyhow, time will tell if he gets me any more leads. I decided to set out the Great Wildlands myself. Normally, IÆd relegate this sort of thing to DANGER CLONE. But heÆs in the wrong area of space and thereÆs that whole thing of trying to kill me by hiring Valk79. I took a deep breath and stepped back into the unknown of 0.0 spaceà Right into a bubble! Thank goodness this bubble was from a NRDS crowd trying to keep GW safe. The Foundation alliance is to GW what CVA is to Providence. ThereÆs just not as many stations out in GW. They figured my search fo the elders to be a wild goose chase. Maybe theyÆre rightà Harper hits the happy camp I finally arrived at the constellation. I visited every system in turn looking for big signs that said ôElder Fleetö. No such luck. So I headed to the farthest corner and started scanning. I got 1 UNKNOWN hit under cosmic anomalies. I needed to be talked through it over chatà Simorgh gives me advice on my fruitless search. Eventually, the timer dinged and I needed to hang it up for the day. No Elders, and I have a feeling my scanning skills are woefully inadequate for the job.
Bolvor	Posted - 2008.09.09 01:36:00 - [128] Edited by: Bolvor on 09/09/2008 01:37:14 Thanks for the mention mateh, and Azure canyon looks not too shabby at all pokes his tediously slow skill training hehe Good luck finding the elder fleet, from what ive heard, you might need it o.o Ill ask around if anybody has any info though for you

Panzerkom Caldari	Posted - 2008.09.09 16:04:00 - [130] I predict that Danger Clone will be stuck in Jita for the rest of his natural life.

Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.10 00:32:00 - [133] Day 38 -- Jita Can't.... Log... in... Feeling claustrophobic. Bright lights everywhere! No one wants my Navy Vexor contract. People selling all kinds of crap on local! Get me the hell out of here!

Slannesh Wayfarer Mining Bartsch Inc.	Posted - 2008.09.10 14:27:00 - [135] Hi Harper, I know you usually have specific destinations in mind to visit. But a while back I came across a sight that I thought might be worth a mention to you. I had been working on my mining abilities and had taken some work for agents of the Minmatar Mining Corporation working out of Uttindar. I had been asked to go harvest some gas clouds. I made my way to the provided location found the clouds and turned on the gas cloud harvesters. I had a look round as the harvesters did their job. The gas cloud has the remains of some heavy mining equipment but as I examined it I saw something glitter briefly, way off the beacon. Upon investigation I found a black cuboid shape about 180km away from the beacon, just turning slowly about it's axis. It was huge, dwarfing my Mining Barge as I drew up close to it. The glitter I saw was a brief reflection of the Uttindar Star off one of the faces. It was very impressive and quietly majestic. Worth keeping your eyes open in case you happen to be passing some gas clouds. Fly Safe.
Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.10 19:56:00 - [136] Day 39 û Escape from Jita! This is DANGER CLONE. I donÆt want to be in high sec anymore. Jita sucks. IÆm trapped. No one bought the Navy Vexor. I purchased an Amarr Arbiter that I canÆt fly for another day. The talk on local is absolutely inane. Strange news in my inbox today. Turns out that IÆve got a friend in Thorn alliance. The only 0.0 alliance that I am blue to. Checking out the Thorn alliance sounds way better than sitting in Jitaà. An opportunity arises... I forget the Arbitrator. I need to get out of here. I slap together a Nature Photographer stealth salvager and get the hell out of Jita! So long, Jita! Keep yer implants! I set my course for Atioth, a Thorn sov system with no recent kills. Should be a good place to startà Route 1 Route 2 Sadly, IÆm the only soul hereà All alone in Atioth IÆll have to go where the fighting isà
Harper Hendee Gallente Guiding Star Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.13 17:43:00 - [137] Day 40 -- Halfway through the journey, it ends... Today I found the existance of an alternate reality. It turns out that in this reality, I have a wife and kids and a fabulous life: Hot Wife I'm almost out of gas in my ship, so I've taken the plunge through a rip in the space-time continuum back to a place called "Real Life." It is with great sadness I bid farewell to Eve. Here's a couple of final impressions before I go... Made it to friendly Thorn Space I fall for a cheap trick from Daisho Syndicate A war of annoyance with Kittens Station hugging is not much fun
Lord Zarcam Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2008.09.13 23:28:00 - [138] NOOOOoooooo! Please Harpee, say it ain't so! Life always comes first. I will miss reading your stories.

Keraa Minmatar	Posted - 2008.12.16 23:39:00 - [142] I for one, would like to commend you sir. I have been for 6 months and then had to leave for 5 months and have been back now for 2 weeks. I had never thought of touring as you have. I thought of exploring but wanted to wait until I had sufficient iskies to do so. I have just realized that I didn't have to do all that skilling and iskies build up. Your story and style of writing is very well done. I enjoy your diary entries very much. As so many have said, get a blog going and do videos if ya can. Keep up the good work young man o> (k)
davcin Caldari davcin Corp	Posted - 2008.12.17 08:46:00 - [143] For those who want to have a look, there is another tourist starting: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=945475 It is still in the beginning so give him time.
