Discussion ranges from touching faction warfare to holding the CCP development team hostage on Christmas.

CCP Soundwave has taken to Youtube to highlight some of the design decisions behind EVE Online's big Crucible 1.1 patch. While that might not sound so exciting, Soundwave does bring a certain brand of humour to his developer discussions, saying that with the success of Crucible, CCP decided to "do the right thing as a corporation" by cancelling the development teams' Christmas vacations to get a 1.1 patch for January.

Jokes aside, EVE Online's Crucible 1.1 Patch is a solid quality of life update for players, and CCP is certainly doing well on their commitment to re-focusing after Incarna and the nuclear fallout of "Monoclegate." Trailer below!
