My Year in EVE Online Wilhelm Arcturus CCP did a cool end of year thing in that they produced videos for players that summed up their activities in 2019 in EVE Online. This ended up with them rendering 214,713 videos for players, links to which they sent out via email. I had such an email show up right away. The video opening The videos follow a set template, as one would expect, only diverging towards the end depending on whether you spent your time mostly doing PvP, PvE, or industry. You can see my video here. They allow you to download an .mp4 of your video, so I did that and then uploaded it to YouTube as the server hosting the videos for CCP appeared to be under a lot of stress. Also, who knows how long they will keep it around. My stats from the video: 2,381 Jumps 7,771 Warps 812 Systems Visited 245 Market Transactions Most sold item: Scordite 38,266,092 Skill Points Gained On 258 Kill Mails Most Killed Pilot: Logistician4 Most Killed by: Kilo181 Podded 8 Times That doesn’t mark me as a stand out in any way, unless you consider that I mostly fly logi. Getting on 258 kill mails means I am a bad logi pilot, with combat rather than repair drones in my hold. Some of this is amusing. My most sold item was Scrodite, which considering I did very little mining in 2019, and none on my main, is odd. That isn’t even all that much Scordite really I suspect I found some stashed away in a high sec station and sold it as we were flying by. I do that on ops that go through high sec, check local stations to see if I have anything sitting then and then try to sell it quickly, before we move out of the region or my order range. The most killed pilot looks to be an alt that somebody used to drop warp disruption bubbles in Delve. I was there to help clean that up I guess. The pilot who was on the more of my kill mails than any other is in Elitist Ops, which was in PanFam when we were mucking around in Geminate and then in Snuffed Out when Liberty Squad when up to play with them. I only lost 18 ships/pods/deployables in 2019, so he was on four of my kill mails tops. I was trying to figure out exactly which 9 alts were being counted with Wilhelm. I certainly have more than 9 characters across multiple accounts. This being a CCP venture, there was, of course, a dev blog to explain how videos were compiled. The base criteria to get a video was: Active Omega subscription at some point in 2019. Omega time per email had to be greater than or equal to 30 days, for all users belonging to an email combined. Active playing time per email had to be greater than or equal to 25 hours, for all users and characters belonging to an email combined. That is log on, non-AFK hours. Only valid emails were included, for instance, several Steam users had not verified their emails through our Account Management Site, and these were removed as no emails are associated with their accounts. Stats were not collected for characters deleted this year. Banned users were excluded. Unsubscribed emails were excluded. Players that did not have adequate activity to be categorized were excluded. That email address seemed to be the key made me go dig through a few other accounts. Back in the day I used to keep different accounts as isolated as possible, with different email addresses and payment methods. And, sure enough, my main alt got his own video. That video is clearly just for the one account. Sel also had a PvP year. Then I found another video for an account that I had kept active for cynos. I think his usage was largely theoretical, given the stats. I did, however, roll him out for the events where you killed some NPCs to get skill points. I put him in a Venture and would stick him in a belt on some Veldspar with combat drones out until he zapped enough belt rats. That explains why he got the industry path for his year. I’m a surprised he made the minimum level to be counted, but I guess that bar was pretty low. That totaled up to 15 total mains and alt, which seems about right to me. As silly as bits of those are… I am a poor representative for these stats… it was pretty neat for CCP to go do this. If you want to see more such videos, a lot of them were linked on Twitter using the #MyEVE2019 hash tag. https://ift.tt/39Ez0iM

CCP did a cool end of year thing in that they produced videos for players that summed up their activities in 2019 in EVE Online.  This ended up with them rendering 214,713 videos for players, links to which they sent out via email.  I had such an email show up right away.

The video opening

The videos follow a set template, as one would expect, only diverging towards the end depending on whether you spent your time mostly doing PvP, PvE, or industry.  You can see my video here.

They allow you to download an .mp4 of your video, so I did that and then uploaded it to YouTube as the server hosting the videos for CCP appeared to be under a lot of stress.  Also, who knows how long they will keep it around.

My stats from the video:

• 2,381 Jumps
• 7,771 Warps
• 812 Systems Visited
• 245 Market Transactions
• Most sold item: Scordite
• 38,266,092 Skill Points Gained
• On 258 Kill Mails
• Most Killed Pilot: Logistician4
• Most Killed by: Kilo181
• Podded 8 Times

That doesn’t mark me as a stand out in any way, unless you consider that I mostly fly logi.  Getting on 258 kill mails means I am a bad logi pilot, with combat rather than repair drones in my hold.

Some of this is amusing.  My most sold item was Scrodite, which considering I did very little mining in 2019, and none on my main, is odd.

That isn’t even all that much Scordite really

I suspect I found some stashed away in a high sec station and sold it as we were flying by.  I do that on ops that go through high sec, check local stations to see if I have anything sitting then and then try to sell it quickly, before we move out of the region or my order range.
