EVE Online pretends to be a game about spaceships. This is a lie. EVE Online is a game about the drama and conflicts created by throwing a hundred-thousand people on the same server with gear and goods that can take months to build and minutes to explode forever. In this environment of paranoia and hate, one group has conquered all others; Goonswarm. Of the major players in Goonswarm, the Mittani is considered the most knowledgeable and dangerous. He is Goonswarm’s spymaster, and through his machinations, empires have fallen. Care to listen to him talk about the latest EVE Online politics and drama? Ten Ton Hammer has the story.
EVE Online combines the drama and politics of teenage high school cliques with military strategy and real consequences. It is both wonderful and terrible to behold in action.
