After 10 Years, EVE Online Player has Visited Every Star System in the Game

Saying EVE Online is a massive game is something of an understatement. For most players, the thought of visiting every star system in the massive sci-fi MMO is absurd. However, a single EVE player has finally made it to each of the game's 7,805 star systems. And it only took them 10 years.

Kotaku broke the news yesterday by posting a lengthy interview with the player in question.

From Kotaku:

Exploring the entirety of space is impossible in the real world, but it's now been done in EVE Online. A player by the in-game name Katia Sae is the first player to have officially visited every one of the game's 7,805 star systems. Even more impressive, they did it without losing a single ship to EVE's notorious pirates.

Naturally, the feat needed to be recognized by EVE developers CCP Games, and they did so with some serious style:

Once her own personal records showed that she had indeed visited every star system there was, she approached the game's creators, CCP, to see if they would verify it for her. Paul Elsy, aka CCP Falcon, a Community Developer for EVE Online, confirmed to Katia via Twitter that she had indeed completed her journey, but there seemed to be one more system she could travel to: Polaris, the in-game home of CCP Games, where EVE's game masters, who deal with in-game player support, and other CCP employees congregate to test things in the live server. A few days later, Katia was pulled through a mysterious wormhole and appeared in Polaris, becoming the first player character to ever see the system and further securing her place in EVE's history.

This once in a lifetime trip to Polaris is not the only gift that CCP has in mind for Katia. Last weekend, CCP announced that Katia Sae will receive her own in-game monument. The monument will be based on a 3D rendering of her character model and will be anchored in space in the Saisio system. Saisio is Katia's "home" system, where she first spawned into the game after character creation. The monument to Katia's achievement, once launched, will remain in place for as long as the game servers run, commemorating one of EVE's foremost explorers.
