“Fans of space-based video game EVE Online have helped set a new record after achieving the Guinness World Records title for the Most concurrent players simultaneously involved in a single multiplayer PvP videogame battle. A total of 6,142 players took part in an enormous battle – the Siege of 9-4 – in January 2018.”
At Fanfest, where CCP accepted the award, CCP Guard fittingly said, “This award is yours; we’re just its stewards.”
Congratulations to all 6,142 players who took part in an enormous @EveOnline battle, with a new record announced last weekend at #EVEFanfest 2018 https://t.co/A4d8Vqqmz1 #GWRgamers ?

I love when you link me and I get pingbacks from people who steal your content but are too dumb to turn off pingbacks.
today’s guiness is even weirder than 80s/90s guiness both in terms of what they will give records to and what they won’t.
either way i still haven’t actually picked up or visited a guiness book/website since the early 90s so i don’t think it’s working but maybe i’m wrong.
