Biggest battle in EVE Online's history leads to an estimated $500,000
When a missed payment left a contested area of space unprotected, the biggest battle in EVE Online's ten-year history erupted, involving more than 4,000 players. The fight saw the destruction of over 100 prized Titan vessels, which take months of gameplay to build and are worth around $3,000 each.
A series of animated .gifs capture the carnage as it unfolded, documenting hundreds of destroyed ships and untold losses for players caught up in the action.

This is crazy how big of a battle this was and the amount of money people put towards it. You have $300,000 in Ttitan ships alone. I am glad I don't play this game but I can see if you get really involved in something that you can just start throwing money at it so that it succeeds.

EVE has always fascinated me as to how much money people end up risking on the game. There was an event that occurred within the game a few years ago involving another sizeable amount of money.

Eta I might try this game out. I've heard it's good.
Same. I have friends who talk about it but I never really got around to trying it.

I have never heard of this game, hopefully I will get a chance to play it at some point.
