One of the probably craziest ideas is to immortalize the stories of the sci-fi MMO EVE Online with the blood of its fans.
What’s going on with EVE Online? The fan festival for the massive sci-fi MMO is approaching. From May 14 to 16, 2026, players and developers will meet in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. During the festival, the developers Fenris Creations will showcase new games and expansions from the EVE universe.
Community events and parties are also planned. But the probably craziest idea is: The Capsuleer Edda. This is supposed to become a project that immortalizes the stories of over 20 years with the blood of the fans – yes, with real blood.
Players exchange blood for immortality
How does it work? During the fan festival, fans of EVE Online can donate their blood, specifically just a drop. This drop will be mixed with a historically based ink structure from the 17th century so that the ink made from blood can withstand the test of time.
From this ink, a tome will eventually be created, in which the blood ink will be applied by a professional calligrapher by hand on vellum, a high-quality parchment.
The CEO of Fenris Creation has already contributed his part and donated a drop of blood for the tome. He shared the process on his X account.
What stories are going to be written there? Two Icelandic authors are taking care of the stories of the tome. For this, they have interviewed players, collected feedback, and sifted through stories from New Eden, the universe where EVE Online takes place.
There could also be written about the battle with over 10,000 players, in which even the servers were blown up.
What do you think about the immortality of players and their stories in such a tome, and would you be willing to provide your blood for it? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
Just recently, the developer of Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss, sold the studio of EVE Online. The buyer was the studio’s own manager, and thus it belongs again to Fenris Creations (formerly CCP Games). However, Pearl Abyss incurred millions in losses: Developer of Crimson Desert sells its massive sci-fi MMO, incurring millions in losses
