Announcing your intention to blow up the economy, in any other online game, would probably be met with raised brows and perhaps a few suspensions depending on the developer. When the mantra of the developer is just as hardcore as that of its players, say CCP for example, the reaction might be closer to a kid with fireworks: they’re just interested in how big the explosion will be.
In fact, CCP thinks it will be “absolutely brilliant.” You may remember the CSM member who resigned from his position and was suspended from Eve last month for suggesting a coordinated attempt to harass an emotionally unstable person into suicide. Well, he is back, and tomorrow will lead “Burn Jita,” in an attempt to cripple the Eve economy.
Reportedly fourteen thousand Thrasher ships are prepared for an all out assault on Jita, Eve Online’s trade hub. Luckily, CCP had warning that the event would take place, and the developer has made sure to swap servers around so Jita can handle the imminent influx of players.
“We’ve said, okay, stick Jita on the big, scary server, and put all the surrounding systems on these other servers.”
And CCP isn’t just all for this, they find the idea of intervening appalling.
“The worst thing we could do is to stop it happening. It would be appalling for the game. It would be against everything we stand for.”
Get your popcorn and stock up on clones, we are in for a bumpy ride.
