Seventeen years after its release, EVE Online made gaming history for breaking two different world records.
On October 6, players from around the world united to break the titles, which included the largest multiplayer PvP battle and most concurrent participants in a multiplayer video game PvP battle. The battle, known as the Fury at FWST-8, had 8,825 players participating, with 6,557 people playing concurrently at the battle's peak.
The event was officially recognized for its achievement by Guinness World Records. The battle involved a coalition of PAPI trying to establish a beachhead Keepstar to get into the Imperium's territory. The Imperium fought back for a total of fourteen hours. Nearly seven thousand ships were destroyed in the process, and the battle's total cost amounted to 1.443 trillion ISK.
Just last year, Guinness marked the first person in EVE to explore all reachable systems in the game without a single combat loss. This is no small achievement, as New Eden has 7,805 reachable solar systems.
