Wait what, so it's an esport based on 24member fleets fighting each other?
If it works, that's pretty awesome. I just wish Eves controls were more fighter-pilot-ish. I can't help but think it might be a bit boring as a spectator sport though, as well as for the players if they aren't using their own ships. To me the biggest thing about PvP in eve was the sheer cost of it. Even with insurance you were still loosing like 20% of the ships cost, plus all your items in it, plus your clone (most likely!), plus if it's a alliance battle you could loose your home too! Probably the largest death penalty of any large mmo atm. But then I guess they'd loose the chance at the prize money, still could be boring for the spectators.
It will be interesting to see how it does work out. I'm mostly stoked that there is a greater number of games with money prizes. As for EVE itself I never got into it in a big way but always loved the idea.
Wow the game is still alive. The last time I read an update from our local EVE online server was about migrating players to another server because of having less people playing it.
Afaik EVE has always been one mega server, so I don't know how it merged?Quote:
