Now that the patch notes are up, it seems they weren't exaggerating the extent to which the game is being tweaked. The <a href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&amp;nid=2319&amp;tid=1&amp;s=881255559&amp;sid=20926387 ">patch will be deployed</a> on Tuesday, September 2nd. Although it's a lengthy downtime (11:00 - 17:00 GMT), they don't anticipate the forums being taken down. <br /><br />The <a href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/updates/patchnotes.asp?patchlogID=168 ">patch notes themselves</a> are... extensive --  approaching YellowPages length -- and will continually be updated (in green text) as the September 2nd rollout approaches.<em> Empyrean Age 1.1</em> primarily consists of bug and exploit fixes, and overall is aimed at making gameplay smoother, regardless of what your activities in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a> are. <a href="http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&amp;threadID=858181">Player responses in the forums</a> seem positive thus far, but questions about the changes are being addressed by the devs presently. As always, complications with patches and expansions can arise, so <a href="http://www.ccpgames.com">CCP</a> recommends setting a long skill in training before the extended downtime.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/29/eves-empyrean-age-1-1-patch-to-bring-power-to-the-people/">EVE's Empyrean Age 1.1 patch to bring "power to the people" </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:30:00 EST.
