Welcome to Blog Banter 37, the mass-community bloggery your mother probably didn’t warn you about. Don’t worry, it is legal and it won’t hurt a bit (more info here). The question being kicked around the blogosphere this month is possibly a sensitive one, but it’s certainly topical.
“EVE Online sits on the frontier of social gaming, providing an entertainment environment like no other. The vibrant society of interacting and conflicting communities, both within the EVE client and without, is the driving force behind EVE’s success. However, the anonymity of internet culture combined with a competitive gaming environment encourages in-game behaviour to spread beyond the confines of the sandbox. Where is the line?”
