Welcome the the thirty-fifth EVE Blog Banter.
Now approaching its tenth year, the EVE Online player community has matured into an intricate and multi-faceted society viewed with envy by other game developers, but is frequently regarded with suspicion by the wider gaming community.
Is this perception deserved? Should “The Nation of EVE” be concerned by its public identity and if so how might that be improved? What influence will the integration of the DUST 514 community have on this culture in the future?
[Unrelated and random bonus question sponsored by EVE News 24: What single button would you recommend be included on an EVE-specific keyboard?]
For more information on what this is and how to get involved in Blog Banters, read this.
A list of entries will be maintained below and at the end of the banter period a summary will be written and linked here.

Just started an EVE blog a few days ago and thought I'd try for some more visibility by contributing, even if I am chipping in a month after everybody else.
