    Eve Online has been around for quite some time now! One of the oldest and best MMORPG games available from day 1. CCP Games that made this successful game made it by building a strong community inside the game and now they are ready to destroy all this…

    CCP Games has been very successful every year from 2003 till now in raising its Eve Online registrations every year, and the income of course. But they probably decided that they want to make more money from their game by trying to start a micro transaction buying system in Eve Online.

    This micro transaction system though might destroy Eve Online’s balance system. The whole point in this game was the trading system and the transactions between guilds and clans. To build a big empire you had to really work inside the game for long periods of time (farming). But now with the micro transactions they are close to ruin this well balanced system that was build in these years.

    The players of Eve Online though decided that they do not want micro transactions in their favorite game. So they decided to use their power and cut off every communication with the 2 biggest trade stations in the Eve Online universe, Jita and Amarr.

    There are thousands of players that have docked outside and they hit everything that tries to get in or out of these stations. And if the whole game is based on the trading system then you can imagine how big hit this is to CCP Games.

    I hope they dismiss their new money-making-system ASAP cause they will hit bottom if the players that are so dedicated to this game decide to stay there for a long time.

    Eve Online players have much in common these days with the Greek citizens. They both protest for “austerity” measures. So Greeks and Eve Online Indignants unite!
