The biggest battle that's ever been seen in Eve Online began yesterday and resulted in the two sides losing multiple Titan warships. The battle included over 3,500 players defending or attacking a Keepstar citadel owned by the Northern Coalition. The lost capital ships could be worth a million dollars if they were converted to game time purchases. Unfortunately time has been dilated so each second of play requires 10 seconds of real-time so the servers can handle the load. This might not interest everybody, but once you know how long it takes to earn a Titan and build them it shows just how important this battle is to the participants. If you want to watch the slow play you can hit up The Imperium News Network's stream. Thanks Lifelite.
This battle is just one in several major clashes over the past few months as part of EVE's latest war. Through a complex series of strategic alliances and events, the various player-driven empires of EVE Online have slowly congregated on one of two sides, effectively dividing the entire galaxy between north and south. But, for the first time in years, both of these sides are of roughly equal power and both seem absolutely invested in kicking the shit out of one another - as evidenced by the exorbitant value of the ships committed to the battlefield.
