    for those that checked the 514 site, it has launched with a bit more info than what was announced including a more focused devblog compared to the thank you letter of the one linked above:

    Basically, there is a new currency that is about to enter the game in EVE Online with the next expansion (Incarna) called aurum. CCP had been a little mum on the whys of this currency being created other than that it'll be used to by the various microtransaction stuff that'll be coming available. Things like clothes, ship paint jobs, corp logos on ships, etc (not weapons or anything like that). This item will also be used in Dust so having the economy already flowing in EVE Online where they will be sharing market, it'll make sense. With that much connection, this also explains the serious need to move to a 64bit item ID system.
