I Love Boobies wrote:It happened before I came into the game in 2006, but everyone was still talking about it. At that time, 30 billion ISK was still an unimaginable amount of ISK. Makes you realize how far EVE has come in those 8 years.
Back then a month of game time was around 150mil. Thats about 200 plex which at todays rate is still only about 100bil for a good perspective. Much much larger hiests have been pulled but what made that one awesome is that it was the first BIG one ever. |

How smart is CCP with this multimedia push? They're selling the idea of a fictional character becoming famous in reality for doing fictional things. Excellent marketing. |

Yes I lost the gold magnate back in 2004, was kinda bored with EVE and instead of taking a break I went around solo pvping - roamed around Querious 0.0 quite a bit in my shiny frigate, in one fight I fought 5 m0o frigates and interceptors, managed to kill their crow in a running fight, then ran away. Later I unwisely engaged a m0o corp gate camp in A2-V2 which consisted of 3 rifters and a raven (all 4 ships were fitted with cruise missiles, and at the time sig radius/speed had no effect on missile damage) I tried to kill the rifters while staying out of web range and moving fast, but made another mistake - went too close and got webbed, splat.

While not as big (and possibly even true) of a scam, I much prefer The Great Scam. I read that and instantly started playing Eve.

I'll check that one out. Bad Bobby pulled off the best heist in Eve history IMHO. I think the Ponzi scam got a little more ISK, but anyone who didn't see that coming a mile away is a ********. I forget what the Ponzi one was called, they used to spam it though. From: Tommas De'Wins To: Cipher Jones Dude :) I got massives Basi hahahahahahaha |

I always love that story even if, as you mentioned, it's likely a fake.
and massive props to the GHSC for bringing the focus on EVE, it's something I've spoken about a number of times with non-EVE players (when I've mentioned I play) |

Yes, this was the reason I started playing . . .
And then, a year or so ago, I saw a GHSC member can baiting in a recon ship outside of a station. It was a rather extreme letdown. |

Wasn't me! But yeah expecting everyone in an internets spaceships corp to be super cool at all times is a bit unrealistic. |

I finally took the time to reread your story and the original story. For some reason I thought NTRabbit was involved, but I don't know why. Maybe it was some other published story? Or something on the forums? |

I don't think he did anything on this contract, it's possible he was one of the people clearing corp hangars I suppose ! I'll ask him :) |

When I was still a noob I ran into Istvaan Shogaatsu making a Jita run in a Nightmare. I had never seen anything so impressively terrifying.
I convo'd him just to hero-worship a bit and tell him I was a fan, he said he had a cloaky posse just outside station and I believed him. We ended up having a semi-lengthy conversation in which he attempted to encourage me to pull off a heist and hand over the spoils to The Guiding Hand Social Club as an entrance requirement into the cabal.
He ended up sending me a screencap of his wallet, it had over 1 trillion ISK in it. |

I remember this made it into regular gamer news, it was one of a few things that made me hear about Eve and eventually got me playing.
