(or, if you want even more perspectives: [url]http://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/EVE%20Online/live[/url])
EVE's developers added a time dilation system to help cope with the load. You can read about how it worked during another large event here (the "Burn Jita" event): [url]http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/28640[/url]
It's gotten so large, even The Verge is already covering it.
I have no idea what I'm looking at but I understand that those involved have a lot on the line

Haha oh God the guy in the second link just had his Dad come in the room and yell at him about potato salad
Some pictures from the Verge story.

Today's battle doesn't yet have its own name, but is taking place in a system known as 6VDT between two of the largest player alliances in the game, TEST Alliance and the CFC.
In order to keep lag to a minimum, since the battle takes place on just one server, Eve's developers will likely [URL="http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Time_Dilation"]slow down time more than 90 percent[/URL] so its server can process all player actions.
This means today's battle could take several hours to reach its explosive conclusion.

War, or battle?

Who is all involved? Goons?

There's over 1200 Megathrons alone in that ball of hell.

All I see is a bunch of colorful squares eating each other

Goons vs Test
[QUOTE=theblah12;41628723]Goons vs Test[/QUOTE]
I prefer goons to win, then.
Not a big fan of reddit's eve players.
TEST is getting fucking mopped
Test seems to be having a bad day after getting mopped up in the tourney and now this
Retoasting from the SH thread:
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;41629002]As unlikely as it may sound, if anyone has voice server info for either side, please poke me as I want to preserve some history.[/QUOTE]
Resubbing and redownloading.
I think this breaks the record so far. Over 4,000 people participated from what I've been hearing.
Still not the most expensive, though
not enough titans.
go goons go.
Someone said 1.8 Trillion ISK worth of losses so far
reddit's retreating but goons have set up forces at all nearby moons.
