This module really changed gameplay, especially PVP. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite remember what other newly introduced module actually changed things and had some people up in arms about it being OP. I am sure there have been, but none come to mind that were introduced in recent history. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ninveah.com\/2012\/06\/ancillary-shield-boosters.html\">Ninveah<\/a> did a nice write-up on them when they were introduced in may.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; display: inline; float: right;\" title=\"phantom_akely\" alt=\"phantom_akely\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sobaseki.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/phantom_akely.gif\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" align=\"right\" \/>Award #2 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Wormhole menace of the year<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Akely and his family of alts ! This was an easy one. You simply don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to have this guy hidden in your wormhole. No mining op or site running is safe, once the Akelies have infested your hole. And once he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very hard to kick him out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"strazdas\" alt=\"strazdas\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sobaseki.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/strazdas.jpg\" width=\"154\" height=\"154\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/>Award #3 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Commentator on this blog of the year : Strazdas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have known Strazdas since my days in Hidden Agenda, and he kept on reading this blog since then.
