A giant mech isn't going to fly into system and stick it's cannon **** into the docking bay of 4-4. Thousands of ships have been destroyed almost over night in a single system. I think that's pretty substantive. It's certainly more than I've blown up over my career, friend OR foe.

Only counting Jita:

January 31, 2011 - April 22, 2012: 28 freighters killed

April 27, 2012 - April 29, 2012: 28 freighters killed

Goonswarm destroys in two days what everyone else kills in fifteen months.

Yeah sounds like a fail to me

When's you last time you killed 9594 ships? Goons may have just upstaged my entire piracy career in a couple of days.


But that would be totally ******* awesome if it did. It might look something like this.

CCP are counting all the subscription money this event will generate. This is brilliant for EVE, the amount of fun and interest it has generated in game is only matched by the amount of coverage it seems to have generated outside the game as well.

Apart from about 20 or so industrialists who provided the "big" kills (and how they didn't get the burn Jita memo I don't know) pretty much everyone else is happy and having fun.

- Goon leaders upped their rep even further
- Goons and Co members got pew pew fun
- Some empire corps got to have pew pew fun with Goons
- People so inclined buffed their kill boards and ratios whoring goon kills off Concord
- Industrialists who made the hulls made a tidy profit
- Traders and speculators made loads of the market fluctuations
- Everyone else got something to talk about
- CCP have a game making the headlines in a number of places all over the net

Oh yeah and Concord got to prove that they rule lol.

Good for goons leadership for stumping up the few hundred billion in hulls this event cost. I am sure it is hardly a dent in the alliance wealth and that people pulling the strings had all the right investments in minerals in hulls behind the scenes to make make themselves rich anyway.

It's a little disappointing after all the spam and hype about "destroying every ship!", then "destroying every industrial!", then "destroying rich industrials!", then finally "destroying a handful of industrials?".

The most exciting moment in the whole thing was watching 4 goons fail a gank and the guy gets aligned and out anyway with another 50 goons sitting around doing nothing.

And the goon ***** spam - goons sure do seem to like ***** art.

All the hype for a "fell asleep in the theater" moment. Disappointing.

Here. Have some tinfoil.

"There was one bug [the 'bookmark escaping agro bug'] in the game that meant that if they do the things they're going to do, they could have escaped the in-game consequences. So we fixed that bug about three weeks ago. And they went, okay.
