As a new player I had over 100 million ISK already and wanted more. I started my own exploration corporation and left my rookie corporation after throwing all of my belongings through a wormhole that led to a place called Aridia. According to the sites I found locally, these were Blood Raiders rats and according to the official wiki of the time, Evelopedia, the Hideaways would escalate to Blood Raiders 2/10's which were supposed to be soloable for new players.

I must have run ~~50 hideaways~~ in my Thrasher before charting my findings but I started to wonder if Evelopedia was possibly wrong. After getting a control group of 50 Blood Raider Hideaway sites I presented my findings in a post on the Eve Online forum with statistics and a claim that maybe the site doesn't actually escalate. Some like 7% of the sites did yield a faction rat at the end but that was it. It caused a great debate and I felt like this was perhaps my actual hook to Eve Online. Felt like real exploration and science and while I tried to do all my research and findings I met other players - some good some bad - and I just was completely amazed by the overall experience.

Evelopedia is gone now but not before I tried twice to become an ISD that officially edited the Evelopedia. Eventually I found myself here on Uniwiki and my goal is to help maintain it and keep it relevant so we're not linking dumps of Evelopedia and Eve-Survival to new players that were written years before I played and can no longer be edited.
