Synopsis: The eighth Loading Live vooncast is joined by EVE Online Associate Producer Arend Stührmann just before the launch of EVE's tenth expansion, Apocrypha, on March 10th. Arend's a busy guy, and in addition to overseeing EVE China and the CCP side of EVE Voice, Cider and Cedega (the Mac and Linux ports of the game), he's also the product owner of the Wormholes concept. So exploration will be at the top of our questions list following this week in MMO news, and we'll also touch on the epic mission arc, factions, story, and other features of EVE's most revolutionary expansion yet!

Arend fielded over 30 rapid-fire questions from the Ten Ton Hammer staff and audience, tossing in hints like whether or not fighters and drones will count toward wormhole mass limits, whether corps should fear sleeper attacks on player-owned structures (POSs) anchored in wormhole space, what mining opportunities will be available in WH space, and whether any factions besides the sleepers can be found in EVE Online's 2,500+ new systems.
