I love it because Instead of me having to fit into its schedule, it can fit into mine unlike other games.. Also because when i stop playing, the game still goes on like the real world. Including, lots of aspects of the game challenge you. You can meet new people, get involved educated about other peoples cultures, etc. Also love it because the CCP staff are incredible straight up group of guys who are really involved with the players of the game. http://www.youtube.com/iwasnamedian |

I like EVE because it's player driven and CCP (mostly) listens to what we want. Because of how player driven it is you feel like you are actually part of the game rather than someone playing it.
All of the stories outside of Empire are the ones we shaped ourselves, everything little thing you do is going to effect someone in some way. If I blow someone up I may have caused them to receive a major set back, or I just pissed them off for a few minutes. In theory I could crash an entire market by tweaking some numbers around too.
I guess what a lot of people like about EVE is that it gives you power. |

Worthy of one of my rare responses. I love it because it's so damn hard and brutal. A true gamers game. |

That the player makes more of an effect than "leet gear"
The simple fact that just because you have billions doesn't mean you can win, and you risk losing if you try means everything.
A good tutor can have new members flying along side vets to great effects. My first days I ran tackle and support ships so the vets can focus on their stuff. Tackle or tracking link griffins!
The rewarding of loyalty is excellent too. Love the SP system. |

Because there is no other MMO out there with this pvp and risk / reward system since SWG CU died. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

This I have gathered from my 2 years of surfing other games and saying "Gee, I wish this game had this like Eve does"
I love the openness of Eve. Endgame here is not about being somewhere specific once you hit a max level. And while many try to claim that endgame is some place like 0.0, the truth is that endgame is what you make it. My endgame has changed several times in the last week because I decide to log in and try something new.
I love the lack of grind. Now granted I originally the break because I missioned until my eye's bled, but what I mean is that we don't have raids like the other games where you must be X build and you must be equipped with X set up, and be prepared to punch those memorized keystrokes for the next 45 minutes on your umpteenth raid this month as you work to earn points for that epic piece of armor.
I like how new ships do not cancel out the effectiveness of old ships. Despite everyone always making claims that x ship is broken, I actually find the overall line up to be quite in line with each other. It's not like that chest piece you got from the Dragon raid that is now moot because of the new chest piece that levels in the latest expansion thus forcing you to have to grind for that. To this day many of us fly T1 ships on a regular basis and wouldn't trade them for anything else.
I like the lack of levels/classes. This is so nice on so many levels. 1) You don't need to grind to make it just one more level for the night before you throw up your dinner and pass out from exhaustion. 2) You are never pinned to any particular role. 3) This makes your possibilities unlimited. Instead of saying 'this will be my spec at 50' you continue on and on and on always learning something new.
I enjoy that the game is virtually player ran. There have been so many games that I played where I would think it would be so much better if they allowed players to drop bases down that could be attacked and to let the players run the economy more than just a handle of power players farming blues. Honestly, how often do you really hear about power plays by mega guilds in other games?
I enjoyed many other games but in the end I found that so many of them were generally missing some little item, and that little item could usually be found in eve. |

Visualize MMOs like triangles.
Most are broad at the lower levels and grow narrower in focus as you advance.
Eve flips it upside down.

single server mmorpg. IS the reason i love eve online. When I 1st starting playing 6000 online at a time was a big deal, and only 40,000 people had accounts. now we have 400,000 and I still don't have to tell my friends to move to my server, we don't have fight fights over space that has 100 other corps of it with 100 other corps fighting over it.
I haven't played eve in a looooong time, but it is still the only mmo I've ever felt like was really worth my time, effort, and support.
Stupid reach for beyond the stars goals set by the company
even if they don't always reach those goals... It's still awesome because most won't even attempt something risky. |

All these reasons and more. Like that feeling you get with a well-executed destruction of the enemy fleet.
Long and the short of it is: It takes work, it has meaning, and everybody's tied in together. "I do believe in karma. -áThat means that whenever I do something sh**y to others, they somehow deserved it." |

I'm fairly sure I like the idea of the game more than the game itself but I hang out anyway to help fund an idea I enjoy. |

It's a good game, but I can't say I love it.
6/10 / Above average...but nowhere near real pvp games like SC2, sorry
EvE has some nice drama and hard emoz tied to it though. The youtube clip with some player yelling "armor hacs!" comes to my mind... /facepalm May 15 2012 |

Because you can make a difference.
Alot of MMO's advertise your actions matter, but in the end it isn't, nothing ever truly changes, especially as they're all sharded.
Eve however is different, it matters truly, and I've experienced it first hand, mostly in little things, but sometimes you matter in the big ones, and that stays with you, knowing you affected the lives of many people around the globe, knowing you were part of that. |

When you play EVE you play it to do a thing that you like doing, rather than to infinitely grind for better gear to use while grinding for better gear. |

i like EVE because it's the only mmo that has managed to hold my attention for more than 2 years. my 3rd eve birthday is coming up in october and after all this time, i don't feel like i've even scratched the surface. there are so many things to do in game, that i can see myself subbing for years to come.
oh, and i like pvp...a lot. |

What I like about EvE is this. I'm kind of a weasel in real life. Short, Skinny, Stupid looking, balding. You get the picture. But when I get behind the terminal, and log on, I get to be a real world, (al Bet Eve world) Bad ass. This game is priceless. |

Eve: It's full of evil sick sadistic bastards who are out to get you, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to scam you or get close to you to take advantage of you.
WoW: Oh that looks difficult, don't worry we'll patch that and make it easier so it's easy for you. Afterwards lets all sing kumbaya.
Hello Kitty Online: Isn't this a expansion to WoW?
I think this about sums it up for me as why I picked Eve. |
