Eve Online is a massively multiplayer online RPG, in which player controlled corporations and businesses fight and trade for dominance in a universe and economy driven entirely by players. The latest expansion, the 14th, Eve Online: Incursion includes an attack on EVE space by a rogue nation called the Sansha, in which players can join extra-corporate fleets to fight these NPC forces. Incursion changes include hardware and software upgrades and updates intended to improve performance, new implementations of the proprietary Carbon graphics engine, new ships and changed mechanics for older ships (Sansha Mothership, Fighter-bomber performance changes, Noctis Salvager), new loot, events, visuals and more streamlining for Planetary Interaction (The interface corporations can use to administrate captured planets).
Seminal space sim Eve Online built a game economy so intricate it has been responsible for the most elaborate player run scams in gaming history. But in the game's infancy before the EBANK embezzlement, before the BoB takedown or the GHSC Heist, there was Nightfreeze.
So he was smart enough to coax these ppl out of all this money, but not smart enough to use another character to do it? I understand it may have been more difficult, but we are to believe he just gave it away.
In another major case of corporate espionage, embezzlement, and political deceit, an EVE Online player has stolen $13,110 dollars worth of in-game corporate assets.
I wish I could get into this game.. That learning curve though... Too much for me to want to spend the time... Star Citizen will likely be the game I go to since most people will be brand new as well.
It was a pretty damn good choice when the devs decided to let these kinds of things happen in the universe and go unpunished. There are some pretty cool stories about events that have happened in EVE.
I sit, nervously waiting, with my hands on the controls. I listen intently, but all I can hear is my ragged breathing. My head is on a constant swivel, urgently searching the space around me for enemies; searching to make sure I’m in my assigned position. The call goes out, “I’ve got point! Bridge is up! Jump! Jump! Jump!” Hurriedly, I try and follow orders, not knowing what might happen next.
I really want to play EVE but it seems like such a commitment that I wouldn't be able to keep up.
If I was gonna try an MMO again, it would probably be a space one like this.
