EVE Online Players Gear Up For Interstellar War

War is brewing in EVE Online… and, as usual, it’s chock full of drama in its creamy center.

You can start by watching the video about Delve 2012, and by reading various poetical posts and battle recaps about the hubbub, but if those don’t make things clear enough, try this description from Reddit:

Dreddit is the Reddit Corporation (guild) of Eve. We are part of the Alliance (group of corporations) called Test Alliance Please Ignore. In the eve universe, there are areas of space that players can occupy and make their own. TEST has control over an area called fountain. To the south of fountain, there is an area called Delve. We sent a whole bunch of us to delve to fight the people there (Nulli Secunda) for fun, but they were not responding, so we forced their hand by stealing their stuff. They flipped their shit and called in reinforcements, and so we called in reinforcements, too. At this point, pretty much every large alliance has picked a side to fight on, each side consisting of thousands of players.

So, in a nutshell: Someone wanted to fight, someone else didn’t, when someone forced the issue, someone else called in help, and now it’s a big brouhaha.

Just another typical day in EVE.

At least that’s one side of the story. We’d love to hear what Null Secunda and their allies think of this assessment.

But in the meantime, let’s just enjoy a lot of s*** blowing up.

    One side is in it for the Sovereignty, the other just wants to fight. This is going to be damn interesting. God I love EvE

    Man that was pun city that break, puns everywhere left and right.

    Eve and those huge battles always looked cool to me, it’s just those first few levels are so PUNishing.

    Ugh.. I have to move to the complete opposite side of the universe AGAIN?  Why can’t the good fights come to me?  I’m lazy.

    Wish I could get in on this but I only have a little over 1 mill SP : /

    • 7BitBrian

       Anyone can shoot, and tackling is beyond easy.

    We got in trouble for live streaming some of the Delve war last night.  We were called out in Mumble and fleet chat then our allies killed us for being “spies”.  Feel free to watch the highlights but it was not too eventful… just shooting some structures with a 250 man drake fleet.  Got to love EvE paranoia though lmao!

    • 7BitBrian

       This is why I fly CovOps, they did something like that to me I’d hop in a cloaky and Livestream me following around their fleet cloaked. Then I’d /trollface and laugh

    EVE is nuts. I played it cuz i thought it would be like free space ships but it was not and i got conused. lol

    You’d be surprised to know that for the vast majority of 0.0 players, most wars are just for fun. When no one is fighting, there’s no PVP and things get boring. That, and the TEST bros far from normal. The alliance leaders probably want the space (since the Delve thunderdome campaign failed miserably), but me and my fellow space grunts want to shoot ships, like always.

    Also, if the 1m skill point guy reads this, reply and i can recruit you. if you can fly (or are willing to learn how to do it) a free tackling frigate, you’ll be in the fight tonight.

    Good to see gamebreaker finally reporting on eve wars – best eve news. Taking bets to see how long it will take you guys to finally make an eve show.
