gay -blam!-

Played the 2 week trial twice, tried so hard to get into it but it's just SO DAMN BORING.

I tried out the demo. It has some things about it that were cool, but it wasn't for me.

When I build my new computer this is one of the games I will surely try out, looks awesome. Read about that huge battle on Reddit. Watching a let's play as we speak. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nqwwFb-Hts]LP[/url]

Just remembered this article. EVE comes in at #7 and #1

I play an industry character so I don't really do much fighting, although I have been dabbling in PvP lately. The battle between HBC and CFC was pretty awesome to watch. The streams were hilarious, so much lag. [url=http://i.imgur.com/5mDPPUI.jpg]RIP billions and billions and billions of ISK ;_;[/url]

I've played it for years, have done just about everything there is to do and am richer than creosote. The nice things about that particular fight is that it happened by accident*, and while not the largest by any stretch of the imagination (big fleet bashes in 07-08 out-sized it by some margin), it was [i]actually playable[/i]. I think the local count peaked at 2700 players in system, split across a dozen or more fleets, and while time dilation took the game down to about 5% of realtime, people could jump in and out, maneuever, activate modules, shoot things, kill things, GLORIOUS. Only three or so years ago the game effectively had a hard cap of 600 players in a single system, and if it got anywhere near that level the game became unplayable. *Idiot titan pilot jumped to a cyno rather than bridging his friends to the cyno. The bridge allows sub-capital ships to jump directly to the beacon, usually used for lame-as--blam!- ganks, jumping takes the titan to the cyno. Consequence? Lone, unsupported supercapital ship, utterly incapable of defending itself, jumping into a low-security system (that means no infrastructure support from structures/stations etc.) with no support. End result? 3,000 man, 6-hour slugfest at six in the morning. It's exactly the kind of thing you play eve for.

I just read up on that supermassive battle, apparently these two corporations were allied together, but the allegiance began to become strained. By accident, someone warped a capital ship, almost their flagship, to a region of space held by the other 'ally.' Seeing this ship stranded, they decided to attack it, as the team with the fail pilot attempted to send reinforcements to the fight. 2,800+ ships were involved in the fight above 'Asakai', though I can imagine that there were a couple of other fights in surrounding systems.

Sounds like too much work. I might as well do something productive it I'm putting in that much effort.

Naw, I heard that game is as fun as doing your taxes.
