It took place this month with an estimated 2800 people around one Player Owned structure with many skirmishes all throughout the system.
All because a corporation that had an uneasy alliance with another accidentally sent a Titan into the wrong system sparking the brawl. People just kept jumping in and jumping in. In the end there were 27 titans in the fray. The Goonswarm, one of the alliances in the battle, lost 3 titans valued at around 3000 USD each. That is real money...

3 OdpowiedziIn the event that any of you want to try eve I will send anyone who asks an extended 21 day trial invite. ( normal trials are 14 days, so thats an extra week ) If you like it enough to upgrade and you upgrade via credit/debit card or paypal I will get a reward and split the cash in game with you. ( it will come out to around 270,000,000 isk )

Yo, this is what games can do yo - MMO space battles, the great war of whatever - these can happen As much money is lost in this, this is pretty freaking epic, with real things at stake, too.

Reading stories like this desperately make me want to get into EVE. I just don't know where the players get the time/money to do so...

Some days I regret quitting this game. Other days not so much.

EVE classic. I played the trial once. This game is overkill. Too bad i don't have enough faith in my skills and/or time at hand and/or money for the subscription fee.

Video of the Event.

That's super-cool, I would never play a game like that, but still that's awesome.

That's just crazy. I can't believe all the real time and costs that go into playing a game like EVE.

3 OdpowiedziI'd love to know the exact amount of money that people lost in this battle (usd)
-
6 OdpowiedziI tried very hard, but I am unable to understand any of this. How was real money lost in a videogame? If they spend years building their ship and it gets destroyed, they lose their account or something?
