Isn't that the game where you lose stuff permanently--even stuff you paid real money for--if they get destroyed ingame?

That game always seemed cool but I'm not rich enough or enough of a sociopath to play it effectively.

People get real serious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_B-R5RB

The Battle of B-R5RB or the Bloodbath of B-R5RB was a massive-scale virtual battle fought in the MMORPG space game EVE Online in January 2014 (YC 116 in-game), possibly the largest player-versus-player battle in gaming history at the time. The 21-hour-long conflict pitted the Clusterfuck Coalition and Russian alliances (CFC/Rus) against the N3 Coalition and Pandemic Legion alliance (N3/PL), and involved over 7,548 player characters with a maximum of 2,670 players in the B-R5RB system at one time. The in-game cost of the losses totaled over 11 trillion Interstellar Kredit (ISK), an estimated theoretical real-world value of US$300,000 to $330,000 (equivalent to between US$338,727 and $372,600 in 2021), as derived from the contemporaneous market value of PLEX, an item purchasable with real currency that can be redeemed either for subscription time or traded for in-game currency.

Was that battle planned or did it happen spontaneously? Some of the most epic battles Ive been involved in on WoW happened when a group of people decided to invade Horde territory.

I remember playing the shit out of it a decade ago including EVE DUST 504. Most predatory monetization scheme I've ever witnessed because back then nobody gave a fuck about P2W.

At least you can play the ships in EVE.
Fucking Star Citizen is still selling JPGs that have been in "concept" for years for $3000+. There are even more expensive shit they sell that only gets offered to people who have spent $5000-$10000-$15000 (the people they've identified as the biggest suckers and given VIP status to)
