EVE Online patch enables trillions of ISK in theft from inactive players

When EVE Online introduced player-built citadels in the 2016 Citadel expansion, there were fears that people wouldn't trust them enough to put their valuable assets into them.

While EVE Online has always focused on the real stories created by players through player-vs.-player conflict rather than on its NPC storyline, its universe has rich lore stretching back thousands of years. The political machinations of the four empires and the history of the ancient races have often set the stage for expansions and PvE content, while players have...

0
The weekly update post from RuneScape this week is a little bit thin on things to talk about. That's not to say there aren't any new updates this week, but more to the point that it combines the weekly patch notes into its usual newsletter format instead of separating them like it usually does.
