4. Quarterly Economic Newsletters ran from Q3 2007 until Q4 2010 and were
supervised by CCP's staf economist. CCP has since opted to pursue monthly
updates on the price index in EVE and an annual economic report. For more
on the change, see http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/26/ccp-cancels-eves-
quarterly-economic-newsletters/.

regions.

represented by a passport photo.
