"The Battle of B-R5RB was the largest and bloodiest in the history of warfare. More than 20 million soldiers were killed and more than 600 warships -- some of them kilometers long and capable of destroying lesser vessels with a single shot -- destroyed in a battle that raged for 22 hours.
At issue was a distant space station, a small but vital staging area that may be a turning point in a war that has since October pitted two massive alliances in a fight for galactic supremacy.
This battle occurred within the virtual world of the popular roleplaying game Eve Online, yet it required the careful planning, ruthless determination and good fortune of, say, the invasion of Normandy. Though it was just a game, the 7,548 people who fought the Battle of B-R could not have taken it any more seriously -- and not simply because they lost virtual ships worth more than $300,000 (£182,800) in real-world money fighting it.
And it all started when someone forgot to pay the rent on a space station."
