At the close of this year's EVE Fanfest, CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson took the stage to announce a surprising new commemoration of the long-running sci-fi MMO: An epic poem in the style of the ancient Icelandic sagas, written on genuine vellum in—and here's the kicker—the blood of EVE Online fans. Did I mention they'd be giving it freely?
"We're obsessing about this 'foreverness,'" said Pétursson. "It turns out, to store information, a really good way is to take blood and write on calfskin. And people in Iceland were doing this 1,000 years ago, and you still have the books."
