CCP has announced that on Friday, May 6, EVE Online will be celebrating it's eight-year anniversary. What's a birthday without presents? On Friday, the team will have a special redeemable present available to all pilots on active, paid accounts. The CCP team said:

"People giving fancy speeches often say 'We couldn‘t have done it without you'. In this case that‘s not just fancy talk and hardly a debateable fact. None of this would have happened without you, the citizens of EVE, who came along for this crazy ride. And to celebrate everything you‘ve built with us, we want to give each of you a present. The birthday girl herself needs no presents, she‘s happy as long as you all show up for the party"

Congratulations to CCP and EVE on their milestone!
