I have to laugh at that because when I first saw the headline I thought, “Didn’t the EVE Gate already collapse? Like…a long time ago?” ---

So I guess this superb unfinished app will be available on all “phone that’s capable of accessing the internet” that exist ? Cause I’m living in this century and still can’t use the app on my phone, you should think twice before making some statement. ---

Fix the Eve Portal app please. Constant Connection errors, screens that don’t refresh, the app is difficult to type with for evemail replies. On top of that, it sends me a notification every time I send an evemail to anyone (not corp or alliance). Time to get it out of alpha and into beta… ---

Again CCP shown their classic behaviour towards their game community - we are removing eve gate because we want so with crappy explanation. Eve Portal is another half cooked product which CCP trying to feed everyone with. I got another one in my head CCP - Crappy Computerized Products. Good job CCP ---

One use for EvE Gate that I enjoyed was the ability to get large portrait pictures of my pilots for record. I’m sure this is a very minor issue for most, but does anyone know how to get similar pictures now Gate is broken/gone? One of the downsides of this new forum is the tiny pictures of pilots, and downloading them results in a fairly small version too. I’ve not found anywhere to get portraits - there’s an option in game, but I have no idea where it stores these pictures. Thanks for any advice. ---
