Heck, I'm not even sure if this has been posted or not.

Even if you haven't played EVE Online, it's still very funny to read

"Jayne, this is something the Captain has to do for himself"

"N-No it's not!"

"Oh."

Ahahahaahahahahahah...

Oh my god that was such a hillarious ending.

I can't believe I read that whole thing though, I wish he'd gotten the battleship.
Still scamming people like THAT is just... wrong.

Honestly, I felt the same way about WoW, that's why I stopped playing it.

Reading it made me want to play EVE more than I already do, because I'm not far enough to witness real PVP and huge ships fireing missles at each other.

Yeah, I remember reading that. I never played EVE, but it's still an awesome story.

Jesus, that's awesome. Of course, if he was smart he would've created a full ident, with IM's and everything, and ripping off one of two people you talk to about the game probably wasn't the best idea, either. I wouldn't have given up after it though, I'd try to look for a scam even larger :p

A friend of mine set up a lotto system in another game (can't remember the name, official died in September, I think), and completely screwed the economy because newbs were given obscene amounts of credits and high-power equipment. Of course, he got filthy rich in the process, too...

Yeah, I remember this one. Definitely quality.

Wow. How serious can someone be about fake money? That's rather silly.

I question the truth of this story. The thing seems shoddy.

A great read, though. Very well written. Pretty pathetic, how much time he wasted on the game, but hilarious, nontheless. I guess when MMOs suck like they do, the scamming life is the only way to feel accomplished.

Here's another great article about an Eve scam:

By the way, the article linked to in the first post is at least partially made up.
