Even though your in-game experience could really have been helpful to your work skills, I think putting this in your resume might backfire, PR departments wouldn't take this seriously.

So far, that has been my thinking. It has helped me build quite a few IRL skills.

Having the skills is far more important than how you acquired them. I'd just emphasize your communication skills and organizational abilities in broad terms, unless your interviewer is also an EVE online addict. Then, by all means, disclose it.

I understand, and other players might understand. But the people who could read your resume and potentially hire you probably wouldn't.
