As far as "dick moves in gaming" this does cover most of the big events.

But #1 can just be classified as the every little thing gamers do to each other for no other reason than a brief smirk or chuckle at someone else's hours spent down the tubes. The parts are greater than the whole almost :P.

When i played WAR, a destro player's wife died of surgery comp.

There was a big moment of silence held in eataine where both sides gathered.

Some guy logged on to his "nonamed" BW and melted the husband. The destro side was filled with rage posts on WARAliiance forums for a week.

This article gave me a very different view of Eve Online. Although I've never played, I considered it many times. I didn't know the economy there was so player driven.

It's pretty much entertaining for a few years, then the novelty wears off. (Ok I realize this is pretty much all you can ask of most games, but I'm putting this out there, having been a CEO and alliance leader for 3-4 years before quitting). EVE combat just isn't fun, even 0.0 wars and piracy. EVE economy isn't that fun. The lack of avatars starts to take its toll on your psyche.

The best thing about it is the player corporations in which you'll meet some of the most focused and dedicated comrades you may ever find in any game, because the community is generally superior to most any other game you'll find. And I believe that unconsentual pvp should be a major tenet to any mmo.

But in the end, it will disappoint you. The skill system is irl-time-based, not skill based. It's starting to show major weaknesses. Established players will have a gargantuan advantage over you that you might never overcome, even given loads of talent and aggressive play style. The combat is just plain boring and purely numbers-based with few options for mixing up roles. The politics are a vomitous mass of regurgitated diarrhea because the people in charge of various factions are usually mouthbreathers with a lot of time on their hands.

I would strongly counsel to wait for the next big thing.

Scamming banks and real-time insurmountable advantages?

Sounds just like real corporate life.

Interesting read on one of the biggest game-world upsets in Eve's history. It really gives a feel for some of the player-driven dynamics of the world and how much the "anything goes" policy applies.

Kinda long, but worth it imo.

"He spent months running the "EVE Intergalactic Bank (EIB)." This offered loans for start-up EVE corporations and miners who wanted to buy tools, with interest rates and repayment plans and yes, we're still talking about a game people apparently play for fun."

cracks me up lol

I like EVE, I still play it and all but yeah sometimes I sit back and think... why am I doing this???

So, when he ran this bank thing, what exactly drove players to actually pay him back instead of going HAHA SCREW YOU after getting the money?

Because in EvE if you screw someone over they can blow up your ship and put a bounty on your head that will have you getting killed all the time and loose months and months and sometimes even years of hard work in ISK.
