Hulkageddon II Ends With Over 1,200 Exhumers Destroyed – news from EvE
Jan 22nd
Abudban, Heimatar – The Hulkageddon II event, in which pilots competed to destroy the most Exhumer-grade mining vessels over the course of a single week, came to a close on the 14.01.112 with a claimed 1,220 Exhumers destroyed. The top prize of 3 billion ISK was awarded to The United, with Final Agony and The Bastards claiming the 1 billion ISK award for second place and the 500 million ISK for third, respectively.
Hulkageddon II’s organizer, Helicity Boson, has hailed the event as “a resounding success beyond my highest expectations!” Over 800 pilots are recorded as having participated, racking up almost 1800 registered kills, some 275 billion ISK-value in damage done and the loss of some estimated 100 – 250 thousand crewmen’s lives.
Reactions to the event have been wildly varied amongst the capsuleer community.
AeCha Anais of Cold Fusion Alliance protested SCC authorization of insurance payouts to those attackers who lost their vessels to CONCORD in the course of illegal assaults such as those committed during Hulkageddon II.
“It is not surprising to me that capsuleers are willing to sacrifice [their crewmembers’] lives as regrettably many of my kind have become immune to the plight of their crews and the crews More >

Battle of the Immortals – Teaser Trailer
The world in which BoI takes place is a world called “Motenia”, the world of the mortals. The Norse God Loki in his lust for power invaded the mortal realm of Motenia. Several other Gods came to humanity’s defense and plunged the mortal world into chaos. This period of time is today known as “Ragnarok”. (For those unfamiliar with the term, Ragnarok is a term from Norse Mythology which refers to a series of major events, including a great battle that ultimately results in the death of a number of major figures as well as gods”.) This series of battles tore apart the world of Motenia, shattering not only the landscape and continents, but also sealing away various artifacts of power in the process.
