The latest rumour is that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2008\/dec\/22\/iceland-recession-banking-collapse\">CCP<\/a> might move out of Iceland to make things easier for itself since most of its revenues come from outside the country anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I might not play Eve, but I always enjoy reading the news and war reports coming out of the game and there&#8217;s no other MMO that I&#8217;d wish more to have a long and healthy life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This familiar side-by-side comparison of the different ship types in Eve Online was updated not too long ago to include the Titans, the largest ships available in the game.
