I just set up an IRC channel for those who want to chat when not in the game. The details are:

server: irc.coldfront.net
channel: #ecp-inc

I'll configure ops/voice ops as use picks up.

For a number of reasons, not least of which is his helpfulness and involvement with the corporation and other members, I've promoted Helig to the role of Resource Officer, although he doesn't know this at the time of this posting. In this role, he will be able to help manage refining and production for the corporation and for corporation members, a role also shared by Nyakamao.

Due to his high standing with the the Federation Navy and high refining skills, Helig is able to refine ore and other materials with almost zero loss and with zero tax at Federation Navy stations. This is the reason we opened up an office in Eglennaert and placed containers in the mining hangar for each corporation member.

If you need ore or materials refined and are not in a hurry, you can place those minerals in your station container, and Helig will refine them and place the refined minerals back in the container for you. The purpose in doing this is to maximize your profits from mining, looting, and salvaging since selling the refined minerals is almost always more profitable than selling the raw materials on the market.

I want to thank Helig for being so helpful and involved with the corporation, and also would like to thank him for his offer to refine for the corporation in order to help our other members, especially those with young characters. I greatly, greatly appreciate all that he has been doing for the corporation, as I do everyone else's assistance and generosity.

CCP is doing another lag test this week, according to the forums:

Just saw this when logging back into the game.



The patch notes are posted after the jump, but in general it looks like a minor patch that shouldn't cause any more headaches than before. I'm not sure if the server stability problems have been fixed yet or not, but I haven't been online when it's crashed in a few days so hopefully we're beyond that now :)
