Epic Online Space Battle

Posted by Unknown on from the get-the-hell-out-of-our-galaxy dept.

New submitter nusscom writes "On July 28th, as has been reported by BBC, a record number of EVE Online players participated in a record-breaking online battle between two alliances. This battle, which was essentially a turf-war was comprised of over 4,000 online players at one time. The load was so large that Crowd Control Productions (CCP) slowed down the game time to 10% of normal to accommodate the massive amount of activity." This is the largest battle to ever occur on EVE Online.

    Well to me it shows that 1.- Either the massive part of MMO isn't accurate or 2.- CCP can't code for shit. I haven't played the game so I don't know how well they code but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a big name game with shitty code...Crysis 1 carrier level anyone?
