“The FWST battle was the latest example of the iconic EVE Online battles that everyone reads about, and being able to say ‘I was there’ is a great feather in the cap for everyone involved. Some EVE pilots who participated in Fury at FWST-8 shared their impressions of the battle: Assets worth a total of 1.443 trillion ISK (in-game currency) were lost in this battle, equating to $18,712 USD, of which 705 billion ISK worth was destroyed completely, equating to $9,148 USD. As a result, 6,746 ships and the Keepstar structure were destroyed, with 362 capital-class ships lost on the battlefield. To prevent this, the Imperium fought long and hard to destroy the Keepstar and push PAPI back. Fury at FWST-8 is just one of many battles in the war as players continue the fight.įury at FWST-8 was the PAPI coalition's attempt to establish a beachhead Keepstar citadel in the region known as Delve, which would have enabled PAPI to strike deeper into the Imperium coalition’s territory with their forces of supercapital-class spaceships. World War Bee 2 is the third such universal war since the game’s release in 2003. Dubbed “World War Bee 2”, upwards of 130,000 players have battled it out in a war for in-game territory and geopolitical dominance. Since July of this year, a massive player-driven conflict between alliances has been unfolding in EVE Online. Setting two world records for a single battle is humbling and just shows the amount of dedication EVE Online players have for our game.” “It still blows my mind that EVE’s players are able to break these records for massive player battles. The player-run factions in our game often rival those of real-world governments, with some even adding US politicians into their ranks, so we knew it was only a matter of time before something big happened,” said Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director. “We’ve been sitting on the edges of our seats this entire war. Congratulations to all those involved - even those off licking their wounds will agree it was a battle to be remembered for a very long time." No game has the kind of passionate, invested, and empowered community that EVE Online enjoys, which is why it's still, nearly 20 years on, reigning supreme as the ultimate MMO space game. Their support and dedication are what makes EVE Online the game that it is today.”Ĭraig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief for GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS added, “The limitless potential of EVE Online provides once again an epic, record-smashing battle that's a test of both human and technological prowess. Our players deserve all the credit that made these record-breaking achievements possible. Their ingenuity created the impressive logistics networks, both in-game and in the real-world, to field such a high volume of ships in one battle. “CCP may have created EVE Online, but it’s our community who built the universe of New Eden. Every time a big battle breaks out or our community comes together for a cause, it’s always a sight to behold,” said Hilmar V. “ EVE Online is no stranger to massive in-game conflicts.
