.
From the 1st of September 2020 RvB will be placed in maintenance mode.
.
What does this mean?
.
* Applications to RvB will be queued pending a formal relaunch and the move to our new home (safe from Triglavian invasion)
* Top station in Josameto will be the temp pivot for events and getting fights & a quick 1v1 – events will still be scheduled
* Efforts of the current command team will be primarily directed towards the re-launch
* Pilots leaving RvB at this time will not be able to return straight away.
.
Why are we doing this?
.
* After two years of a low-sec hiatus, the ‘eternal war’ needs a proper reboot. Our focus needs to be on this fresh start.
* The Triglavian invasion of Otela and these new game mechanics force us to rethink our location and modus opeandi.
* RvB’s online presence is currently a mess – with broken links and a dead forum. We need time to develop a new website and forum
.
How you can help
.
* RvB is establishing a ‘Phoenix Relaunch Fund’. We are seeking 500 billion ISK to support actvity after the move. This sounds like a lot but a busy RvB will chew through this very quickly – and we all want a busy RvB. Please send donations to either corp and let us know – contributors will be listed on our website.
* We will be having a truly massive FFA to mark the formal relaunch of RvB in our new home – a ‘Trillion Isk Meltdown’. Gifts of fitted ships of all classes urgently needed – contract ships in the first instance to the character Eye Witness News @ Jita 4-4.
* We will be holding weekly meetings on Discord seeking help with various jobs that need doing. Please attend and help us when you can – we primarily need help with recruitment – publicity – and funding.

RvB Flight Academy
.
RvB will be launching an all new flight academy. This is part of a strategic direction which will see us:
(a) Based in a rookie system (we have exclsuive agreement from CCP to do this) – exact location tbc soon
(b) Becoming more friendly to players new to Eve and/or PvP
(c) Queueing applications until we have a viable intake
(d) Running classes and fleets specifically for new players
.
When is the formal relaunch?
.
We are currently aiming to relaunch in December 2020 – this date may (and probably will) change however.
.
When are we moving?
.
We will be moving before the formal relaunch – directional co-ordinates will be available shortly.
We will retain a clear and relatively short route to Jita.
