Eve Online, developed by CCP Games, was officially released, marking the beginning of its expansive MMORPG universe.
CCP Games released the Incarna expansion, allowing players to leave their ships and walk around stations in a 3D environment, a major shift in gameplay style.
A major DDoS attack caused the Eve Online Tranquility server to go offline temporarily, affecting gameplay worldwide.
One of the largest battles in Eve Online history occurred due to a missed maintenance payment, escalating into a massive, player-driven conflict with significant in-game losses.
