As title say, poor guy :) Record breaking lol Quote: "Today's kill may be the largest confirmed kill of any ship in EVE's history and could even be the most expensive character death in any MMO to date."

That's the kind of thing that would make me uninstall the game, go outside, and cry.

This is why darkfall needs to have local banking. This is gold.

EVE is greate but sometimes, i just like to play regular mmo, in which deaths don't mean anything.

You cant possibly believe its "golden" for a human being to have invested and lost 6k in a computer game. If so then you have solidified my first sentence. |

These kinds of things are what have made me play EVE for 3 years now haha. It gets pretty stressful when a ship you spent the last 2 days saving up to buy is in danger of being destroyed. you start getting nervous and going oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck haha. Its not for everyone but the adrenaline rush during pvp is second to none.

Originally posted by snapfusion Best gaming memories are made with high highs, or low lows. In this case both the winners and loser of the loot have some pretty vivid memories. Not to mention all future and potential and current players who hear this story. Questioning my morality is harsh. |

No sympathy. What did he think would happen? If the value of the ship was that important, why didn't he sell it?

Originally posted by VideoJockey It wasn't the value of the ship,it was the cargo that was so valuable.
He tried to transport a cargo full of expensive blue prints through null sec using a cheap and fast frigate probably thinking that nobody would consider him valuable therefore having a higher chance to pass.It didn't happen.  |

Things like this pop up every so often with Eve. It's a game where a lot of it comes down to risk and reward. This time the risk obvisouly out weighed the reward.

Originally posted by Badaboom It's really no difference then thinking some guy going to Vegas and losing 6k is somehow golden. Pity, and a little bit of compassion for someone who obviously has some self control issues seems a little more in order here. I have to question anyone's wiring who thinks another persons lose is somehow cool. |

Aren't there gate camps that will kill you regardless what you fly? Possibly T2 Frig or BS wouldn't have made a difference.
Everyone in EvE would refer to this as "jackpot". No sympathy from that community. |

Originally posted by snapfusion Huh? He didn't spend 6k on the game he lost 213,000,000,000 isk which is estimated to be able to buy about 6k worth of eve plex (gametime). So, I don't really see the morality issue over saying a game is good because you can lose a large chunk of in game currency (that also has some monetary value) if you take the risk of transporting that much value in one trip through a ffa pvp area. |

Hey Devs, just so you know. The more you give us to play with, the more we play. |

Any reason he didnt have nano internals or whatever the equivilant T2 version is, so he could align faster? I mean in a way I understand the Atron, its not as conspicuous as a T2 'cepter...but still.
Ohh yeah....
AHAHAHAHA!!!!

Originally posted by snapfusion He didnt spend 6k real money on the game, if he did it would have been sad, but this is not the case. He didnt loose real money at all. The real money value was just calculated for the article so that people could understand that this was a big "ingame" loss. If he wanted to, he could have sold those items that he lost for the same amount of ISK that someone could have bought playtime for with real money, but he could in no way shape or form (legally that is) sell those items for real money, so he didnt loose shit.  |

how's it even possible to have that that much worth? and why transport it? I don't play eve so this probably sounds noobish.
