EVE Player Loses $1,200 Worth of Game Time In-Game

An anonymous reader writes "Massively.com has reported that an EVE Online player recently lost over $1,200 worth of in-game items during a pirate attack. The player in question was carrying 74 PLEX in their ship's cargo hold — in-game 'Pilot's License Extensions' that award 30 days of EVE Online time when used on your account. When the ship was blown up by another player, all 74 PLEX were destroyed in the resulting blast, costing $1,200 worth of damage, or over 6 years of EVE subscription time, however you prefer to count it. Ow."

that's the cost. i was assessing the value of 74 months of EVE play.
It's 74 months * $15 per month. What's wrong with you? Oh.. you have smartass syndrome.
