Hopefully you will start seeing much more activity from E-P.
I've got some things scheduled which I need to take care of, but among the plans include buying a brand new 10mbit dedicated pipe (worldwide connection) with very low ping-times.
--Q1 2006:--
Buy
PowerEdge 1850: MySQL master & HTTP-server - 1000euro/paidfor
PowerEdge 1650: MySQL slave & contentserving - 300euro/paidfor
Rent:
Dedicated connection: 10mbit - 300euro/month but starting with paying for average use 25euro per mbit
Rackspace: 10 units - 250euro/month (will host a few other projects to decrease the cost)
--Q2 2006--

--Q3 2006--

------------------
Hopefully I'll be able to combine a few commercial ideas (non eve-related) to be able to fund this :)
People are welcome to suggest ideas on what services EVE-Pirate could add, I'd be willing to sign up a few people to coordinate such features as I'm pretty sure I wont be able to handle all alone.
