CCP Games is proud to announce that Solstice, EVE Vanguards largest limited time event, has now begun. EVE Vanguard is a sandbox first-person shooter set in the EVE Online Universe. The Solstice even takes place in a hostile jungle environment and will run from now until 12:00 UTC/ 8:00 EDT on July 1. Solstice is free to access for all EVE Online Omega account holders. There are a couple of ways to claim Omega status. One way is to create a free EVE Online account and claim seven days of free Omega access via the New Eden Store before the offer ends at 00:00 UTC / 20:00 EDT today. The other way, and also an option for those who wish to keep their Omega status after the seven-day free trial, is to purchase the Warclone Omega bundle for $9.99.
