The Daily Grind: Will Incarna get you to try EVE?
Sep 27th 2010 1:45PM (Massively)First off, do you really expect them to open a new server alongside their existing one? Please note that EVE is run on what amounts to be a -very- expensive supercomputer... and you want then to acquire a new one?
Or do you just want them to reset the current server? Because that's a lot more unfair to the players who have been playing for years...
Second, skillpoints mean nothing. This is a fact that most people don't seem to get. What's more important are your tactics and experience. A one year player can beat a five year player if they're both flying the same ships. Yes, higher skillpoints in an area means more versatility, but if you don't know ho0w to fly that shiny new 100M ISK ship it's as good as lost. And then you have to take into consideration that many people have millions of skillpoints focused on industry and trading, not on combat. Thus, a relatively new play can easily beat an old industrialist if they don't have the combat experience.

EVE player destroys over $1000 worth of game time
Aug 8th 2010 9:11PM (Massively)Nobody lost money due to this. The only implications this has is in-game. This is how the PLEX system works:
Someone buys a 2x PLX for about $30 and sells it on the market. Someone else comes along and buys it from them. CCP doesn't lose money from the guy buying the PLEX because they were already payed by the guy who sold the PLEX.
Now, this poor bloke that lost 74 PLEX. He most likely bought them from several other players who were selling them. Those sellers got the ISK they intended to get when the poor bloke bought from them. So they are find -- they didn't waste $1,000+ because they all got the ISK they wanted.
Now the guy who got blown up -- he spent 22bil ISK (in-game money) to buy all those PLEX. When they are destroyed, the only thing that happened is he LOST his in-game money. The only way that this could have impacted your real-life wallet is if he personally bought $1,000+ worth of PLEX and then got blown up. Then yes, he just lost $1,000+.
The game revolves around risk and gamble. Unfortunatley, this guy risked way too much, but has provided the community at large with huge amounts of lulz. Thank you aystra.

Dec 16th 2009 5:28AM (Massively)You'll be able to buy these via contracts for years. However, as the supply thins out, their price will go up (just as with any other RL vehicle).
So you'll always be able to buy one if you really want it at least
