EVE Online Agents Will Forget Idle Pilots After Python 3 Move
EVE Online's mission-givers are about to get a memory upgrade. There's a catch, though: some of them will forget you entirely.
Fenris Creations has published a very long developer blog about the technical work going on under the hood of its sci-fi sandbox. Strip away the database diagrams and it comes down to one thing. The studio is preparing the game's "agents", the NPCs who hand out missions, for a larger migration of both the client and the server from Python 2 to Python 3.
That sounds like dry backend housekeeping, and mostly it is. But it has a real consequence for some players, and it's worth knowing about before the switch happens.
