EVE Online Tyrannis 1.0.3 has been deployed successfully and here are the patch notes.
FIXES
The autopilot was mistakenly providing the shortest route to your destination even when you had the prefer safer option selected. We sent it back to flight school and the safer option is again working correctly.
Some blueprint icons were being displayed incorrectly based on their type. This has been corrected.
An error was being generated while trying to access items in a corp hanger while in space.
You are now able to trash items normally that are located in a corporate hangar array at a POS.
The Planetary Commodities cargo hold on the Primae could not be loaded with Water or Oxygen. It can now.
An error was being generated while you tried to edit more than one contact at the same time. This now works as intended.
The Tranquility (TQ) cluster will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 from 0900 to 1500 UTC. The gist of it is that they are making some much-needed hardware upgrades, but if you would like to know the techie details of it, CCP Yokai has written a dev blog on what they are hoping to do during tomorrow's down time.
CCP has just posted both a video tutorial and complete how-to instructions on the new feature in EVE Online, Planetary Interaction. The video covers the basics of creating a colony, managing a supply chain, and moving items to and from planets.
For those of you who have been waiting, the Tyrannis patch has been deployed and is now live! And for those of you who have no clue, Tyrannis is the latest major expansion to EVE Online, allowing the players to finally interact with the beautiful planets introduced in Dominion.
Planetary Interaction brings a new dimension of industrial gameplay to EVE Online. Players will be able to establish colonies on planet surfaces to reap, refine and process materials into high-demand commodities for use or sale on the EVE market. New skills have been introduced, offering even more options for those capsuleers looking to turbo-charge their colonies. New players and veterans alike can dive into this exciting new feature the minute Tyrannis goes live.

Looking to find the hard details for one of the campaign quests in Aion? Or maybe you are seeking the lowdown on your level 50 Archon Tribunus's Sword? Look no further than IGN's Aion Tower website for all your game database needs. The site has just launched a super extensive game database for the MMO title, Aion.
Saying it's extensive might be an understatement. The site goes beyond listing everything you can find in the game. These include: items, recipes, quests, zones, NPCs, skills, maps, and everything else. It goes beyond that by providing 3D viewers, Grind Planer, Stigma Planner, Item comparisons, browser plugins, and so much more. This database is impressive.

Records were made to be broken and EVE Online has a tendency to adhere to that statement.
They have recently broken their Peak Concurrent User record with an astonishing 54,181 players logged in simultaneously.
"The weather outside is frightful as powerful solar winds buffet the battleworn armor of a Myrmidon aligning for warp. The fire so delightful of the Heavy Pulse Laser IIs as they carve through the hulls of Sansha's despicable followers.
What really warms our hearts this time of year is the recent breaking of our all-time Peak Concurrent User Record. This past Sunday, 54,181 pilots were flying in New Eden, unfettered and unbound but by the limits of their own imagination and skill. Thank you all for flying with us."
Tomorrow, December 1 marks the launch of Dominion. Currently the game servers (and official website) are down for the count to bring this latest expansion into the world (as in GMT, it's already December 1).
Since it's a huge addition to the game world, they expect to bring the servers up in about 19 hours. A day without EVE for the Europeans, but not too painful for those in North America.

It's a console game that mixes MMO, FPS and RTS gameplay, but ties into the universe and story of EVE Online. Their aim is to be able to bring PC and console gamers together in the same universe.
In development for three years via CCP's Shanghai studio, the details are still scarce, but CCP plans to announce more at their FanFest in October.
