EVE Online: True Stories from the First Decade Site Launched

CCP Games has launched a new site to help collect stories from EVE Online players. Called "True Stories from the First Decade", the site allows players to submit anecdotal tales from their experiences within EVE Online in preparation for the game's official tenth anniversary later this spring.
“Our players have entertained EVE’s followers for ten strong years, coming up with the most unique, inventive ideas and then acting them out amongst the stars,” said Torfi Frans Olafsson, Creative Director of the EVE Universe Intellectual Property Group. “They are the backbone of this game universe and we are proud to celebrate their stories both big and small.”
In true EVE fashion, players can tag characters, corporations, alliances and solar systems in order to add context and permanence to the events they describe, echoing the truths that reputation is of utmost importance in a shared society such as EVE and that each decision a player makes could have consequences ripple well into the future.

Comments
One day some EVE players were playing and were shocked to find out that CCP had been cheating against them, by playing favorites and spawning blueprints for their enemy . When they tried to raise this issue, the whistleblower was banned and a big attempt at cover up ensued, only eventually the developer confessed to cheating, which later CCP claimed to have known about all along.
Developer misconduct and cheating against players. Part of the 10 year story of EVE, along with rigged roleplaying events ensuring some players lost even if they were winning.
Oh right, CCP doesn't want you to remember or know about their cheating (which made the NY Times) and would much prefer it be swept under the rug and forgotten about. They only want fanboy stories.
One day a player got busted by CCP's GMs for RMT activity which is explicitly banned. Instead of learning his lesson, he blamed them for his bad decision and spent the next 5 years telling everyone how mad he was about being punished for cheating in every thread about that game. Even though he hoped that doing this would harm CCP, he just made a spectacle of himself and it turned out that people actually preferred to see cheats punished, so he ended up helping instead.
And everyone else lived happily ever after.

Followed up by CCP hiring players from the OPPOSITE side that got favored and is protecting their RMT machine by refusing to fix the moon material ISK print machine.

All eve is a bluefest , stagnation, and sponsored wars by the controlling entities, but nothing really changes.
over 20 years of mmorpg's and counting...
Are you saying people added that story to the site and it was deleted?
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

although what they did was wrong, they did admit it. even then this is what makes the game fun. applying real knowledge to eve with pure freedom is what an mmo is. that is why they call this game hardcore. some people frown upon me for blowing up haulers and just camping them for isk. but hey if you stupid enough to haul something expensive it diserves a good blowing up, and i get the fun out of taking stuff from it. either way eve isn't for everyone because of the hostile reputation it has. but i know that i just reactivated my account and man i gotta admit, besides all the borring combat, i missed all the freedom u got from eve. i hope star citizen pulls something out better then eve.
I can't wait for more books. Reading the first one is what convinced me to try this game. Since then, I've read them all and the first one twice. I think the Eve Universe has the potential to make a great movie.
The lore of the Universe is a lot deeper than many players realize. The books do a lot better job of getting you to experience the lore than the game does. Looking forward to see how far they take this.
What about those stories about people who ripped off their group banks to pay rent for a year. I remember at least 2-3 stories like that where the people just didn't care.
