In the past 4 jears we are talking about ISK in value of 2.500.000.000.000 ISK to 3.000.000.000.000 ISK. That’s 2500 – 3000 billion.

Imagine that, big-time exploiters ousted in EVE Online. CCP Games has uncovered an exploit in Eve Online that survived in the game for 4 years and may have had a massive impact on the game and game economy.

I was kind of amazed that EVE escaped ...

Getting a feel for Eve Online
ferrel.me 5/18/2009 — I’ve had the opportunity to play a lot more Eve Online since my last article and I have to be honest and say I’m really enjoying the game. So much so, in fact, that I wish I had found it sooner. It truly is a departure from most MMOs out there and it has that “hard” feel ...
