EVE Online : Snowball Fights End on Jan. 6th
The server room was attacted by a freakish snowstorm several weeks ago, while there was no overt damage to our hardware, capsuleers reported the appearance of snowballs in their clone stations.
Weather specialists have been ceaselessly running weather prediction simulations since the mysterious arrival of these snowballs. According to their models, temperatures will rise .0001 K on 6 January 2009. This slight temperature change will result in the complete melting of all snowballs in New Eden, regardless of their location. Specialists have also concluded that capsuleers who bid on snowball contracts before this date, yet receive them after, will find themselves owners of a pile of melted snowballs upon delivery.
