May 6th will mark a special occasion for CCP and EVE Online players. On that day, EVE Online will celebrate its 8th birthday in what started as a small space sandbox game and grew into the massive war-raging beast it is today. To celebrate the occasion, CCP is giving players a special redeemable gift that can be claimed when they log in on May 6th. What is the gift you ask? Your guess is as good as ours and CCP is keeping it surprise.
