In Eve Online, when a capsule was destroyed, a frozen corpse was left behind.
I knew someone who would go around collecting corpses. A battle is going, he’d be out there scooping them up. He’s running a hauler, and this was the day that when your ship got destroyed, every bit of loot went out in individual units, so when a pirate would try to shake him down he’d respond with “If you blow me up, you’ll crash back to desktop.”
That was how he played the game, gathering corpses.
This is EVE we’re talking about. This is honestly one of the more benign if not weird habits.
This is the game where to join a corp you nearly needed a resume so people could make sure you weren’t a spy because months to years infiltration processes happen in this game. Or just rampant piracy.
This is the thing i keep hearing about EVE player, they have the culture of running the game like in real life which sounds interesting, but i swear if i ever try this game i would be bored of it in 5 hours.
Isn’t there’s also a news channel that report on what happened in EVE?
I feel like EVE is the direction MMOs needed to go. It’s why so many failed.
It’s what worked for wow when it first came out. The sense of BEING in some other world where things are different is something wow did very very well. The problem is that nobody had any part in building that world, that the story quickly became convoluted and stupid, and that jumping theough the next arbitrary hoop in a fucking Skinner box isn’t escaping this world.
Whoever finds out how to build an mmo where people can build things and make decisions and just fuck everything up if they’re so inclined and make it accessible is going to make a fortune.

What does that mean?
He had so many individual pieces of loot on board, blowing up his ship would overload the players ram and crash the game.
The game would attempt to render the thousands of corpses all at once, which presumably would overload the game engine and cause it to crash.
Exactly this.
This guy isn’t a weird, he’s straight up dangerous

There’s an excellent, albeit 5hr documentary about the history of EVE online, its absolutely incredible

I carried my own corpse around until I got into trouble crossing a Concord border with it.
