Well done,
There is no news like bad news 
However I do fell a little sorry for the Corps memebers (not the CEO), for lossing so much, specialy the T2 BPO's. Easy to avoid and the blame fails on the CEO's shoulders.
Having been in charge of CA insurance, I got more thing to say.
"If you can't aford to loss it, Don't fly it!"
Have a nice day.

Oh, and hoping people track down the "offenders" in real life is a good sign that you lack the mental faculties to distinguish a computer game from reality.
wouldnt have used the term 'real life' if i didnt understand the distinction, you're a real genius aren't you? everyone who values the money they spend on the account values the time spent to accumulate ingame property. it's all realevant.
Advocating real life punishment in the form of physical violence in retribution for ingame acts shows a distinct lack of the mental capacity required to differentiate between reality and fiction.
Any argument that ingame property correlates to real life property requires you to violate the EULA in an ebayish manner, something which is fully deserving of a ban.

Yeah, there's a fine line to that that I nor anyone one this side of the theft would ever push.
I mean, I definately wouldn't buy Istvaan a drink at an EVEFest, but I sure won't be scanning Toronto phone books under K either.

The article is definitely a good thing, even if they do seem to insist on talking about us (UQS) in the past tense. I assure you we've more than recovered
On the subject of the theft itself, obviously at the time i was a little bit annoyed. BUT-this is exactly why i play EVE, and not World of Borecraft. This is the kind of thing that can only haappen in EVE, and it should NOT be banned or petionable or anything else.
Also on a controversial note, i was quite impressed by the execution too

for those of you without an imagination....tracking them down in real life does not mean physical violence every time. the punnishment to fit the crime would be to get their username/password to get your stuff back. if you went beyond that you'd be going beyond justice. though if you lack identity/hacking skills, i suppose a form of vandalism would feel good too. lemon juice on the widsheild of their car, unlocking the fence so the dogs run away, jabbing needles thru cable lines. does everything lead to violence with you kids? sheesh, no imagination indeed.

I have to warn you, because you don't seem to be seeing it: saying things like you're saying makes you sound a little mental. Do you often track down people from the internet for perceived slights against you? ;)

Yes-kinda coming across as a little bit psycho there. You realise even the hint of a RL threat will get you banned don't you?

Particularly since he is advocating the theft of an account - that is a real criminal offence, something likely to get you the same sort of criminal charge that goes along with stealing internet bank account details. Said criminal charges do quite often lead to jail time.

exploit or not, i'd still do it if it meant i might get the stuff back. isk is one thing, but a BPO list dependant on the lottery is nearly irreplaceable. this will scare people off from sharing, corps are supposed to share. i hope one of the victims tracks down the offenders in real life as ccp wont be affording any justice in the matter.
My corp is one of the victims numpty. Its just Isk. I don't get ****ed when someone blows up my ship, and I don't get ****ed when someone steals something from me. Its part of the game. You don't get ****ed off at a friend when you land on Mayfair and he has a hotel on it, in Monopoly. If you want justice then you do it ingame and war dec GH-SC, at least they are open about robbing you unlike most thieves.

Quote from Ceratin : "World of Borecraft" 
For those that get the blood all in a pantie twist about the theft need to chill, it's called "Lesson learned"; albeit this is a big one, but everyone can look back at something in EVE that happened that sucked (mistake you made do to ignorance etc.) and remember saying to yourself "well crap, I'm not gonna do that again." If your smart you take steps to ensure that it dont happen again. We did and have (if you been paying attention to news) recovered to the point to where if you didnt know about the theft you wouldnt be able to tell it ever happened.

Inciting to criminal activities is a crime of itself, so yes, you would take the blame.

I have to disagree. It's a shame they only put it from 1 perspective, but EVE needs publicity. We need more targets! I mean, subscribers...

It was a good publicity article for EVE. Anyway, its just a game, UQS are still very much alive and active as can be attested by us. Just poorer. And thats it really.
So it's no big deal, all that happened was that they nicked some money in flamboyant style. The game goes on. And remember that folks, dont take this thing too seriously, EVE that is.

FFS some ppl seek the limit to its edge, you came very close. To think of those you must dream of practising it.

This is a GAME, and no ingame torment no matter what happened should never amount to anything in real life.
Its time to see a Doctor if you start talking like the above, it shows your starting to fail to see the distinction between an ingame character and a real person.

There 2 articles concerning EVE in this months PCG... But it only made 38th spot in the top 100.
Well they did only give it 55% when it was released!!
Seriously thats a bit out of whack, they obriously were carebares when they tried it. 
Yeah they didn't even play past the tutorial
To be honest, and I can't say I remember why, but I tried Eve way back when it was released and hated it. My brother started playing it a year later and would tell me about it every now and then. I would always tell him that I couldn't understand why he liked it. Another 6 months past, then he convinced me to try it again with one of those free trials. Now I love it, haha! I think the first time I tried it I didn't understand the mechanicas and I was too impatient to learn. While when I joined back, my brother knew all about it so I had help.

Well I for one thought it showed how in-depth Eve can be. With 12'000 players online at any-one time the universe really is on the move.
I mean here's me trading goods and mining and meanwhile political intrigue, espionage and murder is happening whilst I am drinking my coffee and eating a biscuit deciding whether to mine Omber or Kernite.....Oh the drama of it all
Very cool to all those involved I am in the shadow of giants!

For those interested heres how it actually went down. Mirial was in-game eve-mailed by someone claiming to be from pcgamer magazine , i dont know maybe a month or two ago, she mentioned it to us and we figured maybe it was a joke. She ignored it, they went with the article. <-- theres the facts
That's why she didn't respond? Shame, we would have liked to get both sides. In fact, the aftermath and UQS recovery has been amazing in itself - we'd like to run a follow-up piece on it. UQS members, particularly Mirial, e-mail me at [email protected] with your side. Check the contact details in any Future mag or http://www.futurenet.co.uk if you still don't believe I'm from the magazine.
I've been really impressed with UQS on these forums - virtually all have come out in favour of the freedom for things like this heist to occur in Eve, and that's deeply admirable.

I'd just like to say it's about time this game is receiving the recognition it deserves, it's been the best kept secret of MMOs for far too long.

Istvaan, you should get your free copy today or tomorrow. We'd appreciate it if you took down the scans when you do.
We'll be in touch.
