Well this is all the evidence we need that Eve is indeed a great game. Those who like to ruin great games have had to resort to DDOS instead of playing the game. ---

Yeah, especially they don’t have anyways to be detected thanks to your nice giveaways… How could any army ever find any encryption to do that is beyond me and robots. It also works better if you study in a computer lab to do so provide your work to the teacher who can verify, or, use data on which hardware config they can get a file from. If they did hack like that , we could probably upgrade to 1,000,000 trillion today. ---

_coughs_ While off topic, WoW is not even close to the first MMORPG. It’s not even part of the original generation of MMORPG’s at all. Per the dates I can gather, EVE predates WoW even. ---
