EVE Online plans a massive missile test for July 4th

The best way to celebrate July 4th is to fire as many explosives as possible in as many directions as possible. If you would prefer to do so without destroying large chunks of property in the real world, you can do so in EVE Online, which is calling for everyone to log into the game and test out the server hardware with lots of missiles.

We should perhaps specify that you are testing the hardware by firing missiles in the game. Not firing missiles at the hardware and seeing if it keeps operating.

Participants will receive two million skill points on the test server along with the satisfaction of shooting off lots of missiles. The test will be running at 17:00 UTC (1:00 p.m. EDT), so set your clocks accordingly and get ready to shoot off some explosives. Luckily, nothing else will be happening during the day, probably.
