Every so often CCP breaks the RSS feeds on their web site. The last time was back in 2018. Up until about a month ago the following feeds functioned.
EVE News – https://www.eveonline.com/rss/news
EVE Dev Blogs – https://www.eveonline.com/rss/dev-blogs
EVE Patch Notes – https://www.eveonline.com/rss/patch-notes
Those feeds now return a generic 500 error when accessed. Please fix them.
This issue is made more pressing by the fact that CCP has decided to only post news and updates on anything like a regular basis to Twitter. So, for example, the news channels at the EVE Online Discord have seen no activity since August. This might be because they too were using the RSS feeds. So if you fix the feeds, you might get that back as well.
And, no doubt related, the JSON feeds that were added back in 2018 are also broken.
EVE News JSON – https://www.eveonline.com/rss/json/news
EVE Dev Blogs JSON – https://www.eveonline.com/rss/json/dev-blogs
EVE Patch Notes JSON – https://www.eveonline.com/rss/json/patch-notes
Yes please, I used these. Broad spectrum CCP ⇄ player comms has been the reason EVE survived so many risky years, I don’t like seeing this few dev blogs, dev forum posts nowadays (granted fanfest is an enormous attention sink soo… wb devs?)
