EVE Online sounds awesome

Thankfully I'm still on the old skool RPGs and haven't taken to the new MMORPG fad. You know, open ended role-playing games that are played online in a constant universe.

Well, EVE Online is just one of those games. I think its based on the "Elite" mold of gaming, albeit in an online-multiplayer platform. So the regular MMORPG things occur (except with different names) like Corporations (see clan) etc.

One magazine decided to stage an elaborate plan/scam in the game that involved a year long campaign to infiltrate a corporation and basically steal everything they had. The best thing......it was totally legal within the game's rules.
Then another guy decided to pose as a 'bank', gather people's money, then scarper after a bit. He made off with the equivalent of $170,000 in in-game money!!!!
