Impression from the Eve Online Fanfest 2014, the Events, Pub Crawls and the Party at the top of the world around it. If you prefer facebook, you can watch them there as well.

The 3rd party track wasn’t as long compared with last year but I’ll try to summarize with as few words as possible:

• Current state: Authenticated Crest not ready yet: EVE API == authenticated stuff, CREST == public data
• Limited SSO test will be coming soon for a few selected neutral sites to begin with
• Developer license is nearly ready and all devs I’ve spoken with are very happy with it (sounds like no bullshit this time)
• Industry API will change (of cause) due to the upcoming expansion
• NEW War API will provide all (even historical) wars, including details, stats and all killmail references, RvB has a stupid amount of kills 🙂
• SOON(tm) we’ll get new APIs for all the stats you can see on the ingame map (not yet defined further)
• Planetary Interaction API will be available, but it only gets updated once you check it ingame (due to database updates)
• Killmails: zkillboard dec’13 vs killmails in CCP’s database == 96,4% complete, but people in the intel tools roundtable had arguments against making all killmails public by default.
• More yaml files? (Wasn’t it the other way around last year)
• The new permaband song is my current favorite tune!

I got interviewed by EVE TV again. This time together with Reza Najafi (PL) and Carneros (LI3). Was a got talk and we didn’t got interrupted by the next upcoming session like my first interview 2011.

That’s basically my top things to remember from Fanfest’14. I’ll post pictures of our Icelandic trip across the southern part in a separate posting. Hopefully I’ve time next year for the next round.
