EVE Online blows up an entire star and everyone around it to kick off a new inter-faction war


Having apparently decided that there is just not enough conflict in EVE Online (opens in new tab) already, CCP Games has kicked off a new “narrative-driven expansion” called Uprising (opens in new tab) by basically blowing up a star and pushing its four major empires toward war.

EVE Online has been around for nearly 20 years now, and in that time it’s earned notoriety for two things: Back-room machinations of unimaginable viciousness, and major space battles that can take weeks or months to resolve and cost thousands of dollars of real-world money. Here’s five of our favorites (opens in new tab): In order, a bloodbath, a massacre, an assassination, a betrayal that led to a massacre, and a “gatecamp,” in which players literally went to war with CCP itself, and did better in the engagement than you might have expected.
