An Eve Online convention was saved by a player’s contact at Homeland Security

Eve Vegas 2018 took place this weekend, but it wasn’t without incident. A customs hold-up kept the event’s gear in processing for far longer than the organizers expected. But a certain player happened to have contacts at the US Department of Homeland Security - and a quick call seems to have been all it took to get the Eve Online convention back on track. On October 18, Eve’s CCP Guard tweeted “if anybody knows someone who works at customs in Long Beach California… let me know. We have some stuff there that we kiiiinda need for the live stream tomorrow.” Eve player Commander Aze took notice of that tweet. “I know some people that work in the right places that were part of the process and stated the urgency that CCP needed the equipment quickly to make their event work,” Aze says on Reddit. “I made some calls. Yes, the volume of equipment took customs a while to process via additional screening, but [it] was released to CCP several hours later after [it] finishing processing.”
