Last year's event eclipsed the previous years, setting in-game records and giving those players who take part a great chance to learn PvP without feeling the sting of loss. The event itself is hosted in the Low Security system of Ouelletta, but even so, while it's a full 19 or so jumps from one of the most populous hubs in EVE, Jita 4-4, thousands of players make the trek to take part. Each year, thousands of ships are manufactured and donated to the event to be given out freely to interested players looking for their first kills. A Band Apart hosts the largest player-run PvP Free For all event in EVE Online, giving new players a chance to get their feet wet at blowing up other capsuleers without the pang of loss that can come from losing your own ship. The story comes to us from A Band Apart's leader Rixx Javix via a blogpost, detailing his side of the event. No one on either side contacted me to write this on behalf of Snuff or Stay Frosty, rather I reached out to report on what seemed to be an interesting look into EVE's player politics in Low Security Space. Full disclosure up front so there isn't a sense of hiding something: I am a pilot in Stay Frosty myself, though I have not taken part in any of the events in this story for this reason.
