Why EVE is the Coolest MMORPG
posted on August 24th, 2007 by Pacabol Fortuente in MMORPGs
I just got done reading EVE Online: Spy Game by Nick Breckon at Shack News and must say that this story completely reaffirms why I play EVE. That you play not within the confines of a “game” but in an alternate reality. And you can do anything within that reality you wish.
That players of large corporations and alliances such as Goonswarm use proven espionage tactics IRL to gain an advantage within EVE should come as no surprise. Given the most realistic aspect of the game is its cut-throat competition (piracy is not only allowed - it’s encouraged) it seems only natural.
