Comment: Hands down the best space RPG currently available(and it probably will be for years)
PROS:
-Massive Soundtrack(even if some of it does sound alike)
-Very nice community(the only reasons questions wont get answered in rookie support is because theres so many of them; like 4k people there)
-Amazing Gameplay
-Huge variety of quests
-Realistic economy(players can manufacture almost everything in the game;prices rise and fall between regions-makes trading profitable)
CONS:
-UNBELIEVABLE unbalanced towards the Caldari; officially dubbed the "Chose Race" of EVE, they get almost all the updates and coolest ships
-Long skill training times(balances game but its very annoying to have to wait 5 weeks...)
-All the good ores are in the 0.0 systems, but most have already been mined
-Lag in some systems, especially Caldari ones
-Enemies wont usually fire at drones first
-Costs a lot of money...only a little less than WoW =(
10/10 for an amazing game

Comment: The Best Game ever made. I have played many games but this one takes the cake. The graphics are breathtaking, the constant skill training scheme is brilliant, the back story is beautiful, over all it is just a great game. Forget about what you heard about WoW, everquest, and that other rubbish join the eve experience today and play Eve Online you'll love it.

Comment: THE GREATEST: EVE is the best MMORPG Ive played in a long time. Although it is extremely complicated at first, pay attention to the tutorial and other players, and youll soon understand. The depth of the game is just sensational, the graphics have just been updated, and now they are truly brilliant. The in game, player run economy is so smooth, and all the players are really mature and friendly, which you dont get these days. Forget running around with your sword and slaying dragons. thats Old. Its time to start your new life in EVE and live in a world where there are no limits. Beats WoW anyday, forget Everquest, D&D is way outta here, and Guild wars eats dirt.

Comment: graphics are good but dont like the control mechanism, point and click for a space game is not my cup of tea, also there are bots on this server, if it was free I would play it probably but only could handle 3 days of the trial as got bored, and too many limitations of the trial accounts

Comment: Eve is a game where players who are much more powerful than you reap all the ISK, kill you and loot your ship and sell for more ISK, then they sell it back to you because you have to $$$buy$$$ it just to keep up. This game is a money making engine for ISK sellers. I do give it 1 point for the art though.

Comment: The only two things that bite about this game are:
1. Serious lag issues, and
2. CCP's complete lack of acknowledging the problem or doing anything about it.
In my view, getting an average of 2 - 3 second lag is NOT good when you're in a game situation that calls for quick action.
Customer service can be somewhat frustratriong as well, especially so since you're usually in a foul mood when you file a petition. It doesn't improve your disposition any when the response you get is quoting the rules at you, about why you're not going to be in any way compensated.
Other than this, the game rocks IMHO. New players who expect to come in and rule a chunk of the galaxy by month 2 are going to be sadly disillusioned, this game DEFINITELY is not for the 'lone wolf' style of player.

Comment: Easily beats WoW. Community is great. Economy is completely player-driven, and PvP is harsh.
Those in the WoW bubble need to pop it, and come and check this out.
Extremely deep and expansive. If I could, I'd rate it 100 out of 10.

Comment: kazalor.... your interpritaion of that story is shocking. Your man didnt happen to find out that his corp leader had a bounty. It was an assasination that was 1 year in the making an not only did they kill her they obliterated her corp by emptying the corporation hangers and bank acc they also took out a 2 billion isk loan (yes thats 2,000,000,000) and also did the rather mean act of pod killing the boss however this is what the contract was based on... the person who requested the killing asked for 1 thing, the freeze dried corpse of the ceo. If your looking for the real story google it with the words -assasination eve online- i would recomend you have a look at it as it is a briliant read. As for eve I wont take away from the game it has it merits but I am simply not willing to invest the time needed to make an impact on the game(or as some people put it -it takes a while to get going- its simply takes far to long) and then have it blown to smithereens by some over eager lightning jockey strapped for cash.

Comment: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
Gamers will quickly find that the death penalty COMBINED with the difficulty in accumulating wealth generate a game experience that outright holds them in contempt.
Absorbing crippling losses is the norm in this game. Lineage II players look at EVE and go "damn, that's too hardcore for me."
"Player-driven" means that your opponent always decides how hard you have to work to beat them, and it's generally the same: AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. Do you want to put in seventy to ninety hours a week?
Lastly and most importantly, "player-driven" means that CLOUT is the real currency of this game. Anyone who's that good at uniting people under common goals ought to be OUT IN THE REAL WORLD MAKING A DIFFERENCE. Anyone who can't will again find themselves facing a wall made of contempt.
Stay away from EVE Online. You won't regret it.

Comment: Simply one of the best MMORPGs out there.
Don't listen the "teh 1337" players that "typ lik dys". You need to play more than a day in order to enjoy it. On the other hand, I really don't care that these noobs dropped the game so quickly, it keeps the real player base almost completley idiot free. Definitly a game for mature players.
Pros:
Mature Community (My GOD this is so rare in MMORPGs now)
Amazing Graphics
Very deep gameplay
Well balanced
Free-Form
Cons:
It takes a while to get good, you need patience to accumulate the wealth and skills to fly T2 battleships. The steep learning curve is rewarding for those skilled enough to master it quickly, and weeds out the noobs that have no buisiness playing (and ruining, since the game is largely player driven) such a well made game anways.
In response to some of the dumb complaints I've read:
Bad community: Several thousand people beg to differ...There are aholes as always, but most of the players are helpful. This is a PvP game, carebears, please GTFO.
Can't land on planets: Riiiight..CCP is gonna texture the several tens of thousands of planets and moons on there in a SPACE game so you can walk around and do...what exactly?? Have you even considered that, OR the logistical ramifications of landing a huge ass ship on a planet, and lifting off again?
One Race is Severly outweighed: I assume you mean that Caldari are OPed or that Amarr suck? The game is well balanced, with the exception that Amarr lasers really do stink in PvP, but they are fixing that soon. The other races are all very much balanced, the reason that everyone and their mother rolls Caldari is probably because they are like the race's corporate model.
Betrayal: again, ANYTHING goes in the game, if you get backstabbed, yes, you are pissed, it's painful, etc. etc. Remember that IT'S JUST A GAME. If you allowed someone that you didnt implicitly trust into a position to do serious damage to you or your corp, you have noone to blame but yourself.
Nothing to do but trading: Lol..just lol...
Combat Sucks: Umm..no, what you MEAN to say was probably "I didn't get far enough or bothered to learn about the mechanics of combat, i think it's really as simple as point and click". Eve combat has some definite upsides:
You can't kill what you can't target (ECM)
and
You can't kill what you can't hit (Range and Speed Tanking)
PvP is roughly 40% knowledge of equipment and fittings, 30% Quality of ship and equips, 30% real time skill.
This is a matter of personal opionion, but Eve overall is far superior to any Fantasy Hack'nSlash I've ever played (And i've played quite a few, Rappelz, WoW, Maplestory, Guild Wars, etc)

Comment: Yes it"s a good game.
You"ve probably heard this a thousand times.
Why would I spend the amount of money this game demands for the bad game play? Two words Im NOT.
If I were to spend money on a game It would be world of warcraft, because of its depth.
Don"t get me wrong this game isn"t bad. Its just asking too much.
Pro:
Nice graphics
Nice PvP
Nice ships
Good background"s
Con:
Bad community
Badly designed planets
You can"t land on planets
You can never see you character.
Your a pod :O
One race is severely out weighed.
And the crusher, the choppy interfacce - GTFO.
Cons weigh out the pros:
As a hardcore gamer in my books this game fails.
40%
Notice i didn"t include the subscription fee"s in cons? Thats for this

Comment: Gameplay is the best I've found in a while, yet they do in fact have the worst customer support.
happily playing along, one day I come back to a permabanned account. luckily I was on the trial account, but I try the channels for petitions and other forms of communicating with CCP directly about this. No response. come back a little later, and the account on the website to use the petitions is also permabanned same as the account for playing. I change locations to 10 miles away, use a friends hardware, and the same circumstance pops up again 5 days later. Eve O is a great game, IF you can play it.
"missifrit >
my whole area is ban city, not just one person but a whole large area, thanks a lot CCP a-holes.
Chelone > tip: they didn't hear you
missifrit > no, they log everything
missifrit > its like nazism at its best
Chelone > uh huh
Chelone > and why would tey "ban" an "area"
missifrit > u tell me
Chelone > do you live in china?
missifrit > travel 10 miles, new account at a friends house with their computer, and same thing, banned
missifrit > haha, no.
Chelone > same credit card?
missifrit > trial accounts dont ask for credit cards
Viny928 > what is wrong missifrit?
missifrit > CCP.
Viny928 > ahh sry i am new pls tell me what the means >_<
Chelone > well, the GMs may be cold, unfeeling despots but they do not have psychic powers as far as I know
missifrit > yeah if they did they wouldnt be so irresponsible, maybe
Zatris > what part of the world are you in?
NotFink > i was a paying customer but an obvious game glitch and i lose a cheap ship and clone but they won't reimburse, and i said screw it, they don't want me for a customeer i guess
missifrit > zatris U.S.
Zatris > do you and you mate use the same ISP?
missifrit > probably, theres only 3 where I live
missifrit > and we try to get the fastest one
Mi baby > what kind of a glitch cost you your ship and clone?
Zatris > most companies i know will block areas of IP address if the ISP are irresponsible IE (spamming websites and the likes)
missifrit > wow thats totally unfair.. its not like I can change ISPs with a 200$ contract.
Vorsux Milhana > Mi baby > what kind of a glitch cost you your ship and clone? <<<what he said
missifrit > cant be free from it til nextyear
Zatris > i would check and see if they are blacklisted, most BL will be lifted in 24hours
missifrit > its been 5 days.."

Comment: EvE is a game for the hardcore. You can be attacked anywhere, anytime by anybody and the penalties for losing can be exceptionally harsh. Ships can be insured, but the modules (weapons, propulsion systems, etc) and player implants (stat/skill) enhancers can't. You will also spend a lot of time picking up your replacement ship and components as items can vary in price greatly from region to region.
EvE is a game where dying (or at least losing a ship) is often a very significant event and not just a minor inconvenience.
Having said that you can be attacked anywhere I should also point out that some systems are 'safer' than others in the sense that retaliation from the NPC police for acts of aggression (outside of a formally declared war) can be swift and decisive - although not always in time to save the victim. Each system has a security rating from 1.0 to 0.0, with 0.0 being the lawless frontier.
Also the sort of player who is likely to want to kill you can often not venture into systems with sec of 0.5 or higher as each individual has their own security status based on their prior actions.
Combat is actually a pretty abstract affair, you select you target and fire your weapons - usually the person with the best ship/fittings wins. Player skill is manifested in terms of outfitting a good PVP ship and understanding the strengths and limitations of both themselves and the enemy.
One of the most appealing things for the casual player is the nature of character development. There is no such thing as experience points and leveling. Characters get better by learning new skills which are acquired simply by setting the skill to train and waiting for a certain amount of time (a few minutes for basic skills, over a month for the most advanced) to pass.
This means that the player who can only log in for a few hours each week is not necessarily disadvantaged compared to the power-gamer who never sleeps - except in terms of the accumulation of wealth.
Unfortunately for the casual player wealth is a big deal because the penalties for ship loss can be very high.
As with many mmorpgs the social aspect of EvE is based around the guild concept. Players can form corporations that have options for taxation and profit sharing, and facilitate large ventures such as space station creation. Corporations can join together to form alliances, and can declare war on other corps/alliances.
When corporations are at war the NPC 'guards' won't intervene even if the firing starts right under their noses.
The free for all nature of EvE dictates a strong PVP focus, but there are still PVE options based around completing combat or fedex missions for NPCs. PVE is in fact necessary for players to make money, either in the context of missions or just ad hoc encounters.
In summary EvE is not for the faint hearted - if you feel pain and frustration when dying in WoW you will probably hate EvE. But if you subscribe to the theory that greater risk leads to greater rewards (not in terms of loot, but personal satisfaction), then EvE is definitely worth a look.

Comment: A truly amazing game! It has everything that I wanted in every other MMO I tried, but couldn't find. You truly can do what you want. New players can have as much of an impact on the game as seasoned ones. Immense pvp, where the smaller ship classes can turn the tide of battle as much as a capital ship. A completely player driven economy, and absolutely no restrictions on what you can do. The community is brilliant; while drifting along in your really expensive, impressive ship is awe inspiring and makes you feel proud, it's nothing compared to being just one in a corporation fleet full of equally impressive ships.
There's a graphical overhaul on its way that will really put this game well above all others on every aspect. I can't wait!

Comment: Three Words I can say about this Game, 1. Treachery, 2. Corruption, 3. Greed.
Just a quick questions before this begins, Has anyone heard of the famous story with the guild leader and the 2nd in command and how he betrayed her, along with stealing SDK or whatever the currency is= to 20,000 US dollars? Well that story changed the way I looked at Eve Forever. If you have not heard about this famous story, well you are in luck because kazalor is willing to tell it ;)
Once upon a time in Eve Online, a famous guild leader with a secret corporation recruited this newbie who would grow to be the 2nd in command of the guild. After getting far in Eve, he rose up the ranks to a 2nd in command ( sorry for repetition) and he saw a bounty on his guild leader. He also learned aout the guild bank with over billions of SDK or w/e and how it was at least worth thousandds of US bills. At that moment, this man began his 6 month planning of the guild leader"s assasination. However, the way he did it was astonishing and unfortunately, very similiar to the Al Queda Recruiting system where the only person you know is your recruiter, so if you rat, you have nobody to rat on. After planning for months, he told his guild leader to come travel in space with her frigate and her great gear to show power. Well, that was her downfall........ and after travelling shortly, the trap sprung. Suddenly, 6 pirates ships hired by the 2nd in command turned to the leader. The 2nd in command replied," I"m sorry I have to do this" and he froze her inplace and shot her to piecies taking everything and looting the guild bank, giving very little to the people who helped. Today, this man still roams the galaxy, but however is low key after the assasination of the Guilding Hand guild or something like that. Yes this makes the game very fun, but risky. Many other events have occured and are similiar but this was voted most significant in the PC game magazine. Currently I play LOTRO ( Lord Of The Rings Online) on Brandywine, and my name is kazalor- level 50 captain if ya need me. If you wish to continue, good luck, as for me, I"m gonna go smoke some Longbottom Leaf In the Shire!

Comment: Pros: Very unique system, where unlike fantasy RPGs, you equip different ships instead of a character. Training can be done in real time, meaning you can log out and still be training in the game. Huge universe with nooks and crannies of systems to explore.
Cons: No skill involved. Killing as a ship means pointing an clicking with no flying skill necessary (disappointing). Also, only dedicated players will exceed in this game, because of the immense amount of time it takes to become established.
As a newbie, keep your head low and stick to missions to get some better ships -> don't go exploring out into systems with no security, as you will become fodder for roving PVPers.
Overall, it's worth the 14 day trial to see if it is a fit, but don't pay unless you are sure you're going to put in a few months.

I do admit the corperations and giant ships sure are cool but you have to play non stop for about a week to earn all of that stuff it seems. And what satisfaction do you get out of having a giant ship that can blow up any thing ummmm POSITIVLEY NOTHING!!!!!!!!

Comment: Im taking advantage of the 14 day trial(That makes it sound like im abusing it, I am mearly playing really). |0wryda is right, this game takes time. Big ships look cool but are slow and the little ships look cool too and are fast. There is no one outways the other. You can use Missles, Rockets, railguns, Auto Cannons, Laser Turrets, Plasma Turrets and many others I cant remember or havent seen. I recommend this gmae to people and I just might buy the game myself. It takes time to learn all the ways to do things(I still dont know most and im on the third day xD) but the ingame community is very friendly and will always help u.

Comment: This is the kind of game that takes dedication and commitment to really see the rewards. This game favors hardcore gamers with progress, not instant gratification. If you want that, go do arena on wow. The best part about eve is everyone (or atleast all the good people) are part of the entire system. Almost every ship and module is built by a player. All the materials gathered to build nearly every item you see on the market is mined by a player. The risk involved makes pvp insane, because its all or nothing. You dont "res" at some graveyard to get your body back. You die, you explode, and the winner gets to steal your items. Dont listen to these newbs who complain about getting 5-1 ganked. Its their own fault for roaming deep into lawless space without scouting. Again, if you want instant gratification, you wont find it here. People are here to kill other people, and thats final. Another thing id like to mention is you can buy game time cards with ingame currency. So if you ever do become profitable in EVE, you never have to pay subscriptions again (i have 2 accounts that i no longer pay for since im a miner). If you like socialization, teamwork, risk taking, and being a part of an entire galaxy, this is the game for you. If you think you're going to get into a dreadnaught in 30 days, ha. You have to earn it. But dont get discouraged, eve is not about size. Everyship plays their part in fleet warefare. There is some massive rock paper scissors that go on in eve. I've seen battleships downed by seasoned pirates flying tech 1 frigates. rev II part II was recently released and ccp is trying to improve the lag situation. I myself do not lag, however the game is system intensive. If you have an up to date computer, you should be fine.

Comment: Endless lag. No realistic physics. Combat is meaningless, eg; select target, hit "shoot button", repeat till you die. You will spend 2 or 3 YEARS (YEARS!)training in order to fly the big ships. you will hate yourself; your life; the game; your computer; etc.

Comment: Eve Online is only $15.00 a month and well worth it.
Compared to any other MMO I have played their in game and admin/billing staff are absolutely the most courteous and helpful.
It is little weird that every ship you fly has something to do with an animal, sea-creature, or bug. Give them a break cause you get to use nuclear weapons!
It's true this is not your normal MMORPG and even they admit it's not for everyone. It's also true in my opinion that it is the best P2P.
P.S. If you are anti-social and/or have bad manners; you will probably find yourself having no one to chat with (most likely true with any game though).

Comment: awsome game, good graphics, very complicated, but once you get it then you can expand on your life as a pilot, the hyperspeed could use some work, you sometimes hit moons and planets and just bounce or go through, good ship design, i like the fitting component, so beginners dont have as much power, what it needs- free lance computers who go out and randomly attack players in space, and it needs computer traders that transport goods from station to station to help stableise the economy because you see too much people selling mass at one so the price goes way down, other than that i like the shields and armor then structure damage, gives a good reality to the game. insurance is a good deal also, mineing is great because you can find your own mineing place and not be crouded to hell like other games. good reality in flight speed, and manuvering ablities, good plot by creating a uneasy peace between many major factions but to make the game more intresting they should have them go to war for a month or so at a time between certian factions, and have raids on stations, ect... over all good game some drawbacks but they are few and far between,

Comment: One of the best MMORPG's out there. The monthly price is just right @ $15 per month. The graphics are great. The music and sound effects fit the mood.
Some people will find the ships are a little odd looking. They are completely original, but very few have any symmetry at all. I suppose that in space, there is no need for symmetry.
Pros:
EVE-Online gets a lot of things right. The ships last forever, unless they are completely destroyed in battle. There is no "decay" or "durability" that causes them to wear out over time. The ships also do not require fuel to move. They have an onboard fusion reactor that powers the ship - this is great because you don't have to do mundane tasks like "refuel". The Player Owned Structures require hydrogen fuels, but not the ships. The player gets to focus on the fun tasks.
Very mature community, a big plus. Lots of stuff to do. Many missions to run, mining, production, and plenty of PVP.
Cons:
I dislike the fact that the devs have used their powers to cheat. I also dislike how many items are listed in the item database, yet are not actually in the game.
All in all a great game. Download the trial and see if you like it.

Comment: One of the BEST mmorpg's out there. This game is heavily PVP BASED. Carebear noobs please play FFXI. Low sector space is no rules, anything goes. ANYTHING. scamming, camping, ransoming, ganking, ore stealing, whatever it takes. This game is for players looking to play a serious game. The biggest factor that makes this game amazing is the risk involved. I encourage seasoned gamers who are looking for challenging game to play eve past the 14 day free trial. common..it takes more than 14 days to get decent in any game.
BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE:
If you are interested in playing eve, do not forget this. DO NOT FLY A SHIP YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. Live by this rule, and you will LOVE the EVE ONLINE experience.

Comment: This game is awesome. It has one of the best communities i"ve ever seen. There are so many things to do, unlike fantasy games you don"t take part in dungeon raids etc... but everything is open. Nothing is instanced and item hunting by grinding is not an option. The game world is also very massive, I believe this is the first game that can effectively run on one game server.The graphics are superb,and I don"t have an epic system, but this game has absolutely no lag for me. I recommend this game to anyone who is tired of repetive gameplay and dancing elves

Comment: one of the coolest and most imersing mmo's I've ever played. even though I only played the trial I had a fun time with it. The community is very friendly and it's easy to join a corporation. The graphics are amazing and there was no lagging on my system at all. Although when your new it's easy to get lost. I've also been shot down by more advanced players while mining. If your easily frustrated and impatient it's not for you. However, if you like a rewarding game that has a little more strategy to it you should play this.

Comment: One of the most fascinating games of all time! I played this once before when I was younger and got bored with it. However, I tried it again recently and was addicted. This leads me to believe that the game is intended for the more mature players.
One of the only reasons this game gets negative comments is from the mass amount of WoW fanclub members and other immature video game players who don't understand the game. If you play, finish the tutorial and at least play until you get your first ship! The tutorial is the most boring part, but what game doesn't have a boring tutorial? Once you finish the tutorial and start playing for real, you will be addicted immediately. Most of the immature people quit before the first day (it's why I quit once and tried it again later), and this leads to a great, wholesome, mature, enjoyable community of about 20,000 people on the server at a time!
Every element that exists in this game is great, even the mining is fun! New content is constantly being added, so you never run out of PvE content as far as skills or the world goes. If you see the map, you'll be in awe since there are tons of zones to explore, tons of quests to do, tons of PvP action, tons of skills, and just tons of everything! Almost everything is player driven, from the economy to some storylines. You can alter the entire world. Some people decide to be pirates and intercept other ships for money, others are miners, others crusade against NPC and player pirates and collect bounties and glory (in the eyes of the miner you might have saved).
This is the most in-depth, perfectly made MMORPG ever. It will be the symbol of great MMOs for a long time to come. Community, depth of gameplay, amount of content, PvP, and PvE. Everything great about MMOs, this game has it. One of the best things is there are no immature people spamming "WTB RUNESCAPE ACCOUNT!!!" and the like.

Comment: Just not quite my kind of game for some reason.
Did about 3 days of the 14 day trial and for some reason, I just couldnt get into the game.
I love space games but this one has one of the most complicated control systems I have seen to date.
Graphics are ok but could be alot better though lower systems would take a huge hit if they upgraded, this is a pretty huge system hog and I run a HUGE system.
Not for the faint hearted.

Comment: Extremely well thought out game, but the main focus of the game is trading (and boring missions) which can get extremely boring. It could have done with a fully controlable ship in battles so skill could have a major factor. Interaction appears limited as well, due to being stuck in a ship dont really get an multiplayer feel. If you are a would be accountant this is the game for you.

Comment: Possibly the deepest game you can immagine. You can do anything while in safe space the space police guards the newer players and makes sure no "pros" takes them down. When u are a few month in the game you can move to low security where you can become rich but pirates await you. You can trick people out of money,shoot them and ransom them for there money if they dont listen kill them. The market is mainly player driven you mine the minerals or buy them on the market then manufacture it and sell it on the market or use it for yourself. If you want to pvp eve is for you. If you like to trade eve is for you, if you like to manufacture eve is for you, if you like to become an outlaw and scum of the universe eve is for you, if you like to blow stuff up that people put lots of hours of work into eve is for you. You can wag wars on other alliances and corps defend your own region put up stations that fireback at your enemies. Just too much to say i brain is fried but like everyone else said you have to have patience. Then the rest is a blast

Comment: All I can say is that this game is awsome, so rich and so much to it. I was a FFXI player till I tryed this game out, went ahead a subscribed about 4 days into the 14 day trial, just give it a try, sorta like crack once you try it you need more.

Comment: Awesome game. I've been playing for 14 months. Have a great group of friends in the corp and the game just gets better and better.
If you can hang in there at the beginning then the rest is gravy. Your skills give you better ships to fight, mine or haul. Frigates are fast and battleships are tough and then you get to capital ships that are just stupidly hard and need big group of players to use and support.
The market is complicated and player driven. The whole game is deep but when you learn it's easy to use.
I'd say that you need to play for six months and try hard to learn. After that the universe is yours to master. And possibly you could have hundreds of players following your command if you prove yourself worthy.
Ten out of ten.

Comment: Love the game! Challenges my brain to think and be creative. I recently was a HR manager required to hire 10 people for the corp. I am in the process of defining how the corp will give out bonus shares to those who are outstanding performers to the corp in earning better profits.
A NASDAQ like tradaing system.. rumored to become even better with the next patch/update.
Jump in guys and gals what are you waiting for.
note of caution though: not for the weak hearted. (EvE can make your heartbeat go fast and addicted)
Awesome customer care (I lost a high worth item and it was restored to me in 2 days no questions asked). If you do join give me a buzz in game at 'Zorro Hugh', I'll help you out(recruiting again):-)

Comment: Playing this for a year now, and it still entertains and surprises me. can be played on many levels from killing to politics and mining to real life cash for those inclined to do so ( and yes i agree Jagokain CCP do not care) but Hey if you are a Chinese macro miner so what!
IMO this is not the games problem rather than interesting approach to the interplay between what CCP initially intended for the game and human nature being what it is... erm varied lol
Great graphics, fleet battles, piracy, empire building... choose your pleasure its all here

Comment: EVE is simply excellent. Most of "teh l33t" kids give up at tutorial stage, so what remains is a wonderful community of people dedicated to the game. After leaving the station for the first time in my rookie ship, I was overwhelmed by the complex universe created there. Now I m doing agent missions, mining in 0.3 and crushing Guristas. EVE is awesome.

Comment: the first thing that i found nice is the graphics. you cannot ignore that Eve is one of the games that is ahead in that department that an objection could mean war! the fact that the game made a record by having 17 or 18 thousand players in a single server playing at once is truely remarkable.

Comment: I got hooked to the game after doing the 14 day free trial. The game had so many possibilities I was in awe. After about 3-weeks of dedicated training, I realized one thing: No matter how much time you put into the game, you are still required to wait 20+ days for a few of your skills to train up. I picked up a nice ship quickly. Thanks to the helpful and friendly community there. Love the game!

Comment: What I love about EVE is, in EVE you don t gain exp, rather you try to make enough money to buy new skills to learn, learning skills can take a few hours up to even a few days. These skills will allow you to mine better, knowledge yourself in different weapons, navigate jumps better and allow you to pilot better ships.

Comment: EVE Online is for those intelligent gamers. Because everything is based on freedom, first time players may find themselves lost in the beginning, but worry not, the EVE community are always there to support, answering questions, advices etc. The game has massive content, thousands of possiblities ; combat tactics, science, builders, miners, mercenaries, bounty hunters. The game will be what YOU want it to be. There s no other game like this, at all.

Comment: I got hooked after trying the free 14-day trial that was posted somewhere at the forums. I subscribed and have really grown to enjoy this game ( the tutorial was a pain in the a-- but proved essential to the game).the graphics is really good and so are the professions (not classes).the interface, though a little complicated is fun to play with. I found myself spending countless amounts of time just rotating my external camera around so I could see how my ship looked as it eclipsed a nearby star or as it sped through a gassy nebula.another thing i like are the missions which i find easy coz i dont hesitate asking at the forums.over all the game is addicting once you get the hang of it.great game...thumbs up!

Comment: Ok this is too all you people who gave this game a bad review Jagokain, Read the rules before entering the game they said anything that happenes in the game cannot be replaced do to theifs, or along that line, second take some time to read there support response they get alot of emails and this goes with all games response time will take time. That and dont bitch if you sent in a problem on the weekend they dont responde till a working day, third Yes it gets irritating when you loose a ship due to a bug, but who cares its a game get use too it and work to get another, and if your a nice little boy maybe somone in the game will help you with getting a new one. and fourth the game rocks, great idea, and a perfect execution because you know what you can only do so much for a game like this and they are doing everything they can. Sorry if you felt you got jipped but when you played it as long as I have you learn with dissapointments.

Comment: Graphically very pretty, and with scope for development of character in various directions.
Pirates and griefers, including the obligatory e-bayers, seem to have taken over the game, which CCP have made no effort to address.
Customer support sucks too. Slow response times and automatically generated responses. It gets irritating when you lose a ship due to a game bug that has taken weeks to pay for and CCP stiff you on it.
Should have been everything Elite could never have been at the time. Ultimately very dissapointing. Great idea, lousy execution.
