Eve Online
« on: February 09, 2009, 05:48:02 PM »
Anyone play?

Curious if anyone here has been keeping tabs on the 6th Alliance tournament. Pretty good fights throughout the entire tourny but the one that has caught my eye ( And Laughs ) Has to be the match below:

If you're a Eve player you'll know what's being said but it doesn't take a scientist to figure out who the commentary remarks are pointed at...  :lol

I need to resub, because the little bee's of GoonSwarm, have made an epic win against the Band of Brothers alliance.  Are you in on any of that Delve action, MjTalon?  From what I can gather a full quarter of the galaxy is now up for grabs, as BoB was dismantled and defected to GoonSwarm, now Goonswarm is going to pick up stakes and squat on former BoB territory.

I need to resub as well but I've been keeping up to date with the current alliance shift. Yes i heard BoB was dismantled from the inside ( unconfirmed ) & now goonswarm is on the move to take over majority if not all of BoB's former territory. Negative on the Delve action, but i wish i was apart of it... Alot of killmails to be made.  :devil

<<active eve onliner, chilling out in Gallante space (Sinq Laison, Everyshore, Essence, Verge Vendor, Placid) and in Genesis most of the time. Home base is at Eletta, Obray, Verge Vendor (16 jumps or so from Jita). Miner/Combatant/Manufacturer/Trader/Courier etc etc. I do it all.

The whole BoB getting dismantled was a bit of a surprise, but then again i"m very excited as it could be a nice turning point in the game.

Delve is going to be a hot zone for sure in the next month or so.

Cross/Talon, my character's name is Rant Calmante (I know the first name is so fitting :)) so if you guys ever re-subscribe you guys can hit me up there.

oh and the whole Alliance Tournament was fantastic.  :aok

Truly is Ivan. Possibly the best Sci fi MMO game to date. It just has so much to do and it's actually educational.  :O

Played it during 1.5 years (when BoB was pwning everybody else).

At the end, it felt like a 2nd job you have to pay for :huh

Those MMORPG are a huge time sink preventing you to develop fun but useful RL skills and knowledge: while AH gives you some knowledge about flying and aerodynamics, Eve O teaches you NOTHING outside of half broken game mechanics.

I don't want to be addicted to a MMORPG ever again.

BoB is dead, victim of a massive insider takeover that unlocked the control of all of their assets, and their bank treasury was also taken.

GF is being given Delve. The battles right now are nasty.

Gotta love those little bee's.



They don't take themselves seriously at all, unlike some of the other corps and alliances.

Update to the Delve situation.  Ex-BoB alliance, despite having 5-1 numerical superiority initially in combat, is getting slaughtered.  Saving one station while eight fall.  I'm hearing reports of 1500 ship fleet battles.  Titans caving in, in under a minute due to withering fire from the largest fleets in EvE history.
