Apparently the total value lost in-game was 11 trillion ISK which, according to http://isk.thealphacompany.net/?isk=26000000000000 http://isk.thealphacompany.net/?isk=26000000000000
is roughly $700,000 USD.
Edit: updated the ISK value thanks to comments.
- gyaresu 13y agoDoesn't it say 26T which is $706,675.75 USD? `With the bar set at 11 trillion ISK in damages during the battle of B-R5RB on Tranquility in January, Serenity went ahead and smashed that record, almost doubling the ISK value of hulls destroyed at an astonishing 26 trillion ISK worth of damage.`
- Tloewald 13y ago11 trillion was the old record. This was way more (I think one side lost 17 trillion just in Titans -- can't be bothered reading the article again)
- Carioca 13y agoBut this battle was in China where isk x real money prices are different, apparently the PLEX (the only formally recognized way of turning real money into isk) is a lot more expensive in-game over there, thereby depressing the real-money value. According to [1], isk is worth 1/6th in the Chinese server, meaning the total damage was around $110,000. 1: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3921938 https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3921938
- cschneid 13y agoNote that this is on the Chinese server - so I don't know if the USD translation is the same. Most of the time it's (USD per 'plex' divided by ISK to sell a plex on the market) to get the price in USD per ISK. a 'plex' is a 30 day pass to play the game, and is also an in-game item suitable for sale. The Chinese server is totally distinct from the RestOfWorld server - no shared space / market / anything. So I have no idea what the price of ISK is on the Chinese market, or if they even support that kind of trade.
