I had a lot of respect for CCP, the Icelandic company that runs EVE Online. I have more now, having read their developer 'blog on their operation Unholy Rage.

Seriously, these guys really care about their game and aren't afraid to crack some heads (not that the devs at [insert other MMO] don't care and won't crack heads, but anyway).

Although they didn't half have a chunk of downtime for the patch today...
