I found this story whilst I was browsing non EO-related forums. It's a great read if you understand the game.
"WHAT THE ****?" I slammed my finger into the MWD hotkey again; this must be some sort of joke, some temporary bug in the game. "Your ship does not have a sufficient amount of energy to use that." The bullets from his machinegun pinged off my shields, doing considerably damage, and I knew it was only a matter of time. I watched in terror and heartache as my ship slowly cruised towards the warp gate; each bullet into its side was like a cut into my heart. I was carrying 30 million credits worth of goods, and I was NOT going to let those goods be destroyed. My only hope was to try and enter hyperspace, try and get away, try ANYTHING to recover my money. But alas, a moment before my finger stroked the hyper-drive hotkey, his ECM ray drained my ship of its energy. I messaged Lando, desperate for survival. "I'll give you 5 million credits if you let me go. PLEASE MAN." He responded with a dual-volley of Phalanx Rockets. My formidably armored industrial ship was now on fire, each lick graphical lick of flame consuming the last vestiges of my morning optimism. I was dead now, and I knew it. I force-ejected from my ship, hoping that he wouldn't destroy it if it was unoccupied. My pod hovered in space, like a small child seperated from its parent. I jammed my finger into the hyperspace key, and moments later, I blasted off into the stars. By the time I was tens of kilometers away, I saw a small speck of light in the galactic horizon. The ****er had destroyed my ship. http://static.circa1984.com/the-big-scam.html |

That is the best story I have read in months. I'm actually going to print this out and hand it to friends, wow.

Holy fucking shit. That person is my new role model. I have a craving to play Eve now. That reminds me of my old computer instructor. He said he "knew a guy"
 that had broke into extremely protected peices of information, but did nothing. He only did it to see if he could. But DAMN that was one hell of a story.Edit: That instructor was arrested, FBI never told us why.

Is this what Eve is really like? Sounded ALOT more complicated then any other MMO, Talking about investments and CEO's , big time corporations, people actually have rep?! This actually made me want to play EVE. As for the guy who got those 300 million, What a lucky noob

EVE is insanely complex. Its a real turn-off to most people who just want to casually play the game. I haven't been playing it much because, well, its not much fun when you don't have some people to play alongside. However, theres a 14 day trial on the game you can always give it a shot. Join the PSU channel ingame and a few of us might even be on. A free expansion (yeah free) is coming out in a few weeks for the game too, should add a shitload of new stuff, and will probably draw myself and a few other players back to the game.
