The biggest attraction that EVE Online has to veteran MMORPG players, is that the experience is almost a seamless integration of "RP" and "G" parts of MMORPG. It's an arena of high intrigue and politicking. Just how immersive is this cut-throat world? Well, when players - in this case the Interstellar Starbase Syndicate - start going public with a workable in-game IPO, you know that people are really getting into this space-based game of space-pirates, savvy galactic rogues, and Darwinian hyper-capitalists. So the in-game businessmen are forming IPOs, what about the rogues you ask? Well, the year in the making GHSC heist was a completely "legal" in-game Ocean's Eleven-esque heist wherein people from the Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC) corporation managed to infiltrate their target corp and run away with an estimated US$ 16,500 in goods. Also, a few months ago news broke that yet another huge scam took place. Cally, the guy running the player-operated "EVE Intergalactic Bank", one day decided to just grab all the deposits and run away with the money. This not so intricate bank "scam" lead to 790 billion Isk being stolen – that translate to roughly US$ 170,000 – possibly the biggest "in-game" scam ever conducted. But what happens when even the GM's - the people who are supposed to enforce the law - get involved with all the scheming and underhanded dealing? You get what The Escapist has amusingly called "Jumpgate". Get more on Kugutsumen, the deepthroat of "jumpgate" after the Jump! |
