Welcome to the ECAID website. ECAID stands for "Equipment Certification and Anomaly Investigations Division". We are the Bug Hunters, those who volunteer behind the scenes to assist CCP in the attempt to ensure releases are bug free, exploits are quickly identified and excluded, and code testing for release patches. We are present mainly on the internal and external test servers. You will see us on Singularity, we're the ones with red text, you'll also find us on the coldfront irc network, within #eve-chaos.

Our department members are from all corners of the globe, and our work is under a voluntary basis, although run to the strictest of operating conditions.

Bug hunters are one of the oldest part of EVEs volunteer program, starting with everyone who ever played Beta. Formalised now in the ISD department of ECAID, they still are referred to as the bug hunters.

Best Regards,

Garik
