THE ‘FEVERISH BAD CRAZY’ AT THE HEART OF EVE ONLINE
Our Ragdoll Metaphysics columnist Jim Rossignol has already done a fantastic job of documenting the depth of insular and near-inexplicable tactics that take place in the world of EVE Online, but Ten Ton Hammer has updated with a wonderful look into the “jagged fissure of insanity which runs through the heart of the EVE playerbase, a kind of feverish bad crazy that you simply don’t find in other online games.”
The money quote? Right here:
I was approached by one of the leaders of Red Alliance… but almost immediately we were down the rabbit hole. Much to my surprise, the RA director didn’t want in-game information from me; he wanted us to use the forensic resources of our intelligence agency to trace down The Enslaver’s home address. At a coordinated time, armed with this information, a RA member would apparently cut the power to The Enslaver’s house in the real world, and in EVE a RA capital fleet would assault the abruptly pilotless Titan. Yikes.
