When Incursion 1.1.0 launches tomorrow, Jan. 18, all EVE Online players will need to create to create new portraits for their characters using the new avatar creation system. So what happens to the old portaits that you've used for the past seven years? Will they just disappear? No, thanks to  CCP's Portrait Preservation Project!

All of the outdated portraits will be stored on the old portraits webserver at a size of 256x256. Be sure to check out CCP Purple Tentacle's dev blog entry for instructions on how to retrieve your old portrait.

If you want a higher resolution of your old portrait, your only chance is to capture it using the EVE Online client today. Once Incursion 1.1.0 goes live tomorrow, your high resolution portrait will be gone forever. However, you'll still be able to grab the 256x256 version off the webserver.
