In game Heist worth 16.5k $USD !!!
Seems a heist was pulled off, one worth 16.5k $US. Now that is what I call non care bare pvp. Players in MMORPG 'eve online' recently spent 12 months infiltrating a guild in order to assassinate it's leader and take it's assets.

I must say after reading this and doing some forum readings about eve online i was amazed not to see that there isnt a huge underground comunity for this game. For what i've read you start of like shit and develop a HUGE real live company (wich will be the equivalent of a guild) and get to own your own CUSTUMIZED ships from sizes as small as an scape pot to a HUGE battle cruiser or destroyer, in game there is total freedom of movement and lots and lots and lots of battles... the main point of the game is simulate your life in a future living in space so if you total freedom in movements and in choices, as you can see some people make their game living by steal and doing steath missions !!! OMFG imagine doing Splintecell on your enemies ass like these dudes did (well i kinda think they OD on the dmg but it was sure an interesting story).
In game assets are worth BILLIONS of in game money wich can even be bought offline for a price ;) while some items\research\ships are simply UNVALUABLE.
Hope this news spreads like wild fire and we get a comunity of people to play this game and develop (count me in for both)
