Hey guys,
I was just wondering what everyones motivs where behind choosing Eve as your game. And, has that changed over the years you've played?
I first started to play Eve, becuase I'm a big fan of sci-fi games, I love large scale in-depth game mechanices. I thrive off of competition, and enjoy the occasional tear from my victims. I wanted a game I could constantly get better at, without there being a defenitive 'skill cap'.
Now, I continue to play to get better at organizing other people. I love being an FC, and calling out battle tactics. I love planning out a large, complicated objective and actualy being to complete it. The best thing in Eve is accuratly predicting what an enemy is going to do, then countering it.
What about you guys?

Edited by: JitaBUGz TheGreat on 18/04/2011 22:07:49 Really simple for me, It is alot of fun to play.
Plenty of ppl to see around, a living econamy. PVP!!!!!
I hate lvl based games that require kill x mob for x hundred hours to get lvl x. In eve if i have a busy week, or feel like playing BF for a few day, I really dont miss out on progression.
CCP's vision for the game, and there ability to give us most of what we want. PPL just need to realize game development is not easy, and CCP is a company with a bottom line.
SPACE SHIPS!!!!!!!
I can see myself having fun with Eve for many years to come.
Buff blasters:) Had to say it!

I started playing for PVP. After a year, I got burned out on same old pointless roams and camps, meaningless killboard stats, etc.
Decided it might be more fun to have something more to fight for than this month's epeen winner, and started looking for a corp I could help build into something.
Then I figured out that is a CRUD ton of work. So now I'm content to just hang with friends, set some goals, and work toward achieving those goals.

I've been in and out of EVE for 5 years now and I always end up coming back because it's fundamentally better than all the other MMOs I've played. EVE's real economy, sandbox universe, and PvP system make it leaps and bounds above everything else on the market. You can only kill 10 rats so many times regardless of if it's in Telon, Aseroth, Telara, Norrath, or Tyria.

8 years ago, I was playing Earth & Beyond, then I heard EVE was coming out and I figured not more than 10 years later I'd be able to walk around in stations again! Hopefully only 2 more years to that reality!

In the beginning for spaceship coolness. Later for the level of immersion and depth of the game, also interesting backstories etc

sci-fi universe best market system ever real power to the player original design and gameplay only 1 server lots of content
however, even if i became a bit more okay with pvp with time, i don't think i will ever understand the "aim the player and not the character mentality" (+- harvesting tears). that's not what i call maturity and i hate it a lot.

If UO2 came out like it was supposed to I wouldn't have played eve.
Eve is the only successful game right now that allows non-consensual pvp and don't have to rely on equipment.
Also, the single-shard system is pretty cool too.

I honestly don't really enjoy playing EVE all that much. The fun (for me) in any MMO comes from playing with other people, which is difficult if you have slightly antisocial tendencies. I find it difficult to make new friends, and my current friends find EVE to be boring/intimidating/stupid/too expensive, so I spend most of my time on EVE planning/updating skill queues and optimizing ship fittings, which I rarely use.
But the universe and lore! I love it. It's what keeps my subscription active. I'm hoping that when DUST launches it will bring my current friends into the EVE universe, where I'll be waiting with my small band of highly skilled alts.

I start playing because of a longstanding respect for EVE derived from my appreciation of sandbox MMORPGs.
I keep playing because of the RP. _____________________________ [Sebiestor tattoos and Intaki hair: NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER.] |

After Sony NGE'd the previous MMO I played, I took a break from gaming for a bit. Then, in the spring of '06, a friend convinced me to give EVE a try, and I've been here since. The things that keep me playing...
1)Friends I've made in-game. 2)Player driven economy. 3)Consequences. Nothing else makes you work at staying alive quite as well. 4)Knowing that anywhere, anytime I could be subjected to those consequences. Or subject somebody else to them.
Over the past five years, some old friends have left, while at the same time new ones have appeared. Other than that, nothing on the list has changed. So, unless CCP decides to completely lobotomize the game, there's a pretty fair chance I'll be here until they shut down the servers and put the hamsters out to pasture (or wherever hamsters retire to). ------- Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. |

I am not sure why I still play, I certainly don't play how I used to (time wise) but when I staretd to play it was best sci-fi game out there and still is, The thing that kept em playing though was the harshness of it all which has degarded over the years as the economy developed but it was nice when losing a cruiser meant something. ----------------------------------------- View The North Star!

Ok, story time.
I played RO for like almost 5 years, ran a successful guild as a guild leader (private servers mind you :s). Here and there I tried other MMOs, but never played more than a week or two on those, except WoW for only a year. At first, I played RO because I feel in love of their music/background music. Community and friends of the guild kept me playing RO for a long time, without them, I would only probably play RO for only 3 months total.
late 3rd year/early 4th year into RO, I was recommended for Eve, but was kinda meh. Kept it only in consideration for a full year if I recall.
Then on the final year of RO, I'm losing good people for competitive play (people starting to go their separate ways). I decided to check out Eve-Online for a change of pace, and since its internet spaceships, sci-fi, and isn't "hack and slash" game. Slowly, Eve-Online pulled me over from RO, then I finally retire/quit RO after half a year or so into Eve.
RO is such a grind and I'm completely burned out, even now. I CAN'T be arsed to touch ANY "hack and slash" games (Lineage II, WoW, AoC, WH, whatever) anymore, no matter how INNOVATIVE it is. Few times I almost bought Age of Conan, Warhammer, and other recent high profile MMO games, but I never got into those because friends that played them, only last a month or two (lol, test subjects ya know?). Even if I get a free lifetime, I wouldn't touch them. I bought lifetime for Star Trek Online (along with two brothers of mine) because I love Star Trek series and I figure Cryptic wouldn't **** up on such a high profile and intellect property game (biggest mistake I ever done), but they did.
Anyway, ever since, I'm still playing Eve-O, I'm 5 years and 11 days (****, I missed my own 5 year anniversary :( ) in now. :) Even now, I still consider Eve-online the best GAME in any category in my book. You CANNOT find any game like this on ANY market at all.
Sometimes it makes me wonder why even long time Eve-O vets quit about *****ing on CCP (I have irks on CCP as well, but don't plan on quitting until they shut down, probably no matter how much they **** up Eve-O).
I know its contradictory because I said I wouldn't touch any "hack and slash" games anymore, but every few full moons I take a peek in official iRO servers (they had a free server few years back, and now the game is 100% free I hear) and play for an hour or two. There are times I want to play it (still do), but I'm the only one person, and don't want to play myself. Second best game probably for me (or maybe third, after Star Wars: Tie Fighter :O ).

I play EVE because it's the best developed game ever.
Each expansion is full of new and original content, which is fully tested and bug free. Also, CCP's customer server is top notch, they respond and deal with your problems swiftly and quickly. The lag free environment is also wonderful, having up to 3 people on grid without any noticeable lag is truly groundbreaking.
Don't even get me started on the well designed UI and sound are. No game can compare.

Edited by: Maplestone on 19/04/2011 03:14:52 Complexity and scope. Eve is not my natural sort of game - I prefer fantasy and dislike PvP with a passion - but EVE simply has the most complex economy of any MMO I've encountered and one of the few with a real sense of scale and player-driven dynamics, so for the time being I call it home.
