Most Memorable Moments in MMORPG History
In today’s second list, MMOCrunch chronicles the top five most memorable events in MMORPG history. MMORPGs have now gone mainstream, offering experiences for both casual and hardcore gamers alike, with some games even delving into real-world currency. One of the most popular and most recent historic events was the EVE Online scam that required a year of planning. Here’s a bit:
The game in question is Eve Online, where corporate espionage and political intrigue have become an integral part of the game.
The perpetrator of the heist was the Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC) corporation (a corporation being similar to a clan in Eve); a freelance mercenary outfit that offers their services (which usually involves corp infiltration, theft and assassination) to the highest bidder. Over a year in planning, the GHSC infilitrated their target’s corp with their own members and gained their trust, as well as access to the corp hangers, with time. It all concluded in a perfectly timed climax, with a massive theft in multiple corp hangars synchronized with the in-game killing of the corporation’s CEO, the primary target of the contract.
The rest of the events are equally, if not more, epic.
