What’s going on is this: Right now in EVE Online there’s this horrible, completely fatal Kyonoke Plague spreading across several systems. When players arrive at Fanfest, they’ll find themselves part of the plague quarantine while trying to collectively figure out how to combat the disease. The end result of this event will then affect the MMORPG going forward.
“The venue for Fanfest 2017 will be transformed into the H4-RP4 Kyonoke Inquest Center, a Keepstar class citadel gravlocked to a quarantined backwater Astral Mining facility in the Federal system of Postouvin,” CCP announced last week. “Attendees are invited to take part in an immersive event over the course of the three days of Fanfest 2017, and your actions will ultimately decide the outcome of the situation as well as the responses to the containment situations by each of the empires.”
In other EVE Online news, the studio opened up a new fiction portal for those who want to delve deeper into the lore and world of the game. Presumably, this portal is plague-free, but make sure to wash your hands after using, just in case.
