Anyone play Eve online?

[Chillers]

Eve is one of the lesser known games, it's an mmorpg and does include monthly subscription costs, i've been playing off an on for 8 years and have quite a highly skilled main, just wondering if anyone else play and i'll add them as a contact.

Eve has a real market and can be highly addictive it includes it's own universe and a number of ways to make money in the game.

It includes a 14 day free trial it's worth a shot but bare in mind this game costs money!

#7. The EVE Super-Heist


EVE Online's universe consists of 350,000 active subscribers piloting customizable space craft around 7,500 solar systems. Putting that many people in space with lasers might sound like an open horizon to awesome, but the players who hang out there created a fully functional free market economy that ends up feeling more like space accountancy. The ad may look like this ...



... but it doesn't tell you that you have to pay for those lasers. To do that, a lot of game play involves your screen looking more like this ...



As with the real-world economy, making a profit in the world of EVE Online is easier if you form corporations. While many spend years working together for mutual gain, others behave a lot like corporations do in the real world. Or at least how they would if they operated in a universe where murder is legal.

For instance, the Guiding Hand Social Club assassinates people for profit and steals their stuff for bonuses. In one instance, they were hired to destroy "Mirial," the CEO of Ubiqua Seraph corporation. While many EVE Online players literally grind rocks for hours to make a profit, the GHSC use the assignment to show everyone what Ocean's Eleven would have been like if it took place in the Star Wars universe.



First, they got jobs with the target corporation and worked their way up the ranks. The primary assassin became second in command of the entire firm because the background checks for imaginary space pilots aren't very good.

Then, after a year of real-time play, they struck harder than Keyser Soze in that one flashback scene where he's played by Fabio. They killed Mirial, emptied the corp's accounts and hangars, stole everything that wasn't bolted down and blew up everything that was, then killed Mirial again because EVE is specifically programmed to let you kill people twice. The first time gives you all the XP and valuable wreckage, but allows the murdered player to escape in a pod. The second does nothing but shout, "Screw You!" with murder (which is admittedly the best way to do that).

Mirial was in a Navy Apocalypse at the time, which is basically EVE Online's equivalent of the Death Star.


And really, anyone who manages to get killed in one of those deserves it at least twice.

They scooped up the virtually vacuum-frozen corpse for delivery to a client who had paid the equivalent of 500 real dollars for the hit. Which pales next to the $16,500 (again, real-world money) worth of items destroyed or stolen in the raid. Also, holy shit, people are paying to assassinate hated video game characters now.

With how I can get in these types of games, I could see someone taking a contract on me at some point, heh

Oh yes i remember that it was the equivilent of thousands of dollars that they stole and the funny thing is that it was all perfectly legal. Scamming and theft and crime is not illegal in eve. There are even bounties in the game aswell as mercenary corps that will hunt you down if you have a bounty.

Any bounties on you yet Chill?
