This week, Massively's commentariat embraced a bit of schadenfreude as an EVE Online player apparently lost in-game assets worth over $6000 US. In the aftermath, some player sleuths suggested that the losses may not be as high as originally suspected -- if the kill even happened at all. Intentional hoax or API mishap, this surely won't be the last wild story emerging from the infamous space sandbox.
