Ah, there you are. I was wondering when EVE Online's insane space battle would catch the attention of Next Media Animation—aka the Taiwanese cartoon shop regularly pumping out videos of controversies and calamities in the West. » 2/01/14 11:00am 2/01/14 11:00am

Yesterday's humongous space battle in EVE Online—by far the largest in the 10-year history of the spacefaring MMO—is estimated to have destroyed roughly $284,000 worth of war materiel. That is a real-world value, too. The fighting got so big that the Associated Press sent a war correspondent. » 1/28/14 3:12pm 1/28/14 3:12pm

What you see in that image is a Doomsday weapon, a superlaser that can only be fired from a Titan, the largest and most expensive ship in EVE Online. More than 50 of them were present yesterday for an enormous, quintessentially EVE capital ship throwdown between the two biggest coalitions in the spacefaring MMO. » 1/19/14 1:00pm 1/19/14 1:00pm

Does this count as government aid? Because EVE Online has an actual ruling body that meets in Iceland IRL. The game's publisher is asking players to donate Pilot License Extensions (PLEX) to fund relief to the Phillippines as it recovers from Typhoon Haiyan, and will match $15 to each donation, up to $75,000. » 11/23/13 4:17pm 11/23/13 4:17pm

This isn't even a trailer for a game. It's a pitch to sell some EVE Online merch. And while it doesn't make me want to part with my cash, it does make me want to get everyone else out of this house for a minute so I can run around with some Transformers going "pew pew pew pew pew". » 10/31/13 12:00am 10/31/13 12:00am

This is by far my favorite type of story to cover on weekends: The EVE Scandal! They're fun because they tend to involve big-ass space ships or wads of in-game currency that convert to mind-boggling sums in real life. This latest allegation features both. » 10/05/13 12:00pm 10/05/13 12:00pm

I don't play EVE Online, but even I understood the gravity of this ambush takedown of an immensely expensive Revenant ship, one of apparently only three in existence. PCGamesN's detailed breakdown makes sense of the jargon and of the encounter, which sounds like it left some bruised feelings in its wake. » 7/09/13 2:00pm 7/09/13 2:00pm

As compensation for its "longest downtime in quite a while ," EVE Online is giving active accounts 50,000 unallocated skill points. Trial accounts got an extra week. "If you hear of someone doing or planning something bad, even if it’s your friend, we do have the PLEX for snitches program," publisher CCP said. » 6/05/13 11:00am 6/05/13 11:00am

EVE Online publisher CCP said in a statement that "at no time was customer data compromised or accessible," during a DDoS attack that brought down EVE and Dust 514 this weekend. "We will be looking at ways to compensate players in both EVE and DUST for the outage," CCP added. » 6/03/13 8:50am 6/03/13 8:50am

EVE Online says it has taken down its Tranquility server cluster—housing the MMO itself and companion game Dust 514—because of "a significant and sustained distributed denial-of-service attack." Tranquility has been down for 16 hours. At this time, not even EVE's web site is reachable. Follow EVE's Twitter for more. » 6/02/13 3:31pm 6/02/13 3:31pm

This morning, Reddit user Itsatrapski posted several images of a major battle—like 2,800 players—raging in the space MMO EVE Online today. YouTube user deusxverra followed with this video capture of the battle, described as terribly one-sided, so you can get an idea of what this conflict looks like in real time. » 1/27/13 1:00pm 1/27/13 1:00pm
