There also is a story of a player who was moving 16 years of assets to another part of space and got attacked and killed. He lost around $5000 US dollars worth the items. He had to have felt like he got kicked right in the nuts, losing 16 years worth of his time.

EVE Players will never stop impressing me with both their fame and infamy. Thanks for this news item. I haven't followed EVE as closely the last several years, and just can't bring myself to start playing again, but still appreciate all the craziness that can go on. EVE is the best life simulator ever.

But seriously, you play old school EQ. How are you overwhelmed by EVE?

I find the stories that come out of Eve fascinating, but in no way want to make me play the game. I tried it many many years ago and like you lasted all of about 30min before it just got too complicated. I play games to relax and enjoy downtime. Eve is a second job.

I've been playing eve for over 3 years now. but I'm a Newby, and I still have so much to learn That's why I love eve

[scottbyrd]

I play EVE a lot, bit of a love hate relation ship, i enjoy building stuff but doing that does not require player owned stations, but they add a ton of benefits, but dropping one and you are wardecd instantly by corps that does nothing else, and you loose everything.

Why does everyone think this game is too complicated? I've seen mobile games with more complexity- Evony The King's Return for instance.

Eve is complex for sure, but it's not unlearnable. At first, all you have to do is do the tutorial and then pick a ship to fly. Pick a path, skill up, and watch yourself get better and better. If you want to grow even faster, spend a few dollars on a billion ISK and that'll last you a long while. Just relax and watch your skills improve. Early Eve is a snooze fest. I like it because I enjoy mining. Mining is easy money (even if it's not the most money) and it's relaxing. Want a thrill? Mine in low sec. Want to relax? Mine in high sec. I have a retriever, procurer, and 2 skiffs all fitted and ready to go. I even have an empty battleship hull. I board it every now and then to remind myself of my goal to one day do L4 combat missions. I can fly it, but I don't have the skills to fit it. One day... I'm only 3 weeks into this game and I'm enjoying it.

Later on, IF I decide to join a corporation, it'll get more complex, but for now, it's not worth it. I don't have a lot of time to play since my life is busy so I just mine ore and ice when I can.

Brilliant… like a game like this should just be an arena where everything goes. Don’t take anything personal, like you don’t take someone outplaying you in a monopoly game personal… obviously this is on a different scope. Cool that they were able to pull it off!

Back in 2008 I pulled off one of the dirtiest heists you've ever heard of. I was a new player in a small corp. I quickly become friends with one of the main guys.

This guy made the grave mistake of giving me his login info and password. At first I did nothing much with it I would use this account from time to time to mine ore.

While mining I got bored and started shifting thru the mail the character had and what did I find... The password and login to the head character of the corp. Over several hours in the darkest hours of the night I looted and pillaged their belongings.

Once done I did one of the dirtiest things a person can do I deleted their characters. Years gone. 500billion in liquid isk sure I got a lot but I lost so much more from that exchange.

Yeah don’t try and play EVE and think you will make Democracy work 😂
