most of my gamer friends think it's the only MMO that is about as social a game as a good mugging, Most of my non-gamer friends think it looks sweet, but boring and complicated.
But when they ask what it's about i tell them it's about making money, either by shooting lasers at rocks, or shooting Lasers at NPC's, or selling lasers on the market, and lastly buy blowing up the previous 3 and taking their lasers..

normally oh my god are you still playing that game? cant believe your not bored yet.. my son loves the fact that the computer talks to me (hes only 4 bless).
i dont really try and explain it to non gamers
and all the people i play wow with (boo hiss i know) i refer to eve as the far more complicated and realistic mmo that wins hands down :)
tried to get the wife to play but she`s not keen (she does play wow though... secretly the reason i still do )..
There is no art more beautiful nor diverse than the art of death!!!

"Hey, what are you playing?"
"EvE Online."
"A space game, cool... So, are you shooting those rocks?"
"Nope, just mining the ore from them."
"Cool."
5 minutes goes by
"OK...so why are you paying for a game where you have to sit in one place and collect rocks?"
"Sigh."

Used to work with a guy that would ask, "So, how are things in Alpha Centauri?" 
That is why I keep my geekness to myself. Being up front about it only gets you condecending small talk that make both parties feel like idiots.
Most of the smart people in Ohio tend to leave to find people to talk to. I stayed so that I can rule them all in an "Idiocracy" kind of way.

I have a tendency to tell people I'm busy killing Space Pirates and therefore the name of the game to many of them has just become "Space Pirates"

Wife calls it "Eve" She's also good enough to say "Can you log in a deep safe? I need you to do something."
Teen daughters say "Ooh, Eve. Pretty. How do you play?"
9 year old son says "Dad, when you finish Tactical Shield Manipulation to V can we get Logistics to IV? We want a Vulture next."
6 year old son sits on my lap and says "You're good at this, Dad."
4 year old daughter sits on my lap and plays with my hair.
Top that.

trick to that is to use an external mic conveinently hidden from the wife (most decent webcams come with one built in).... leave your broken one on the desk in full view so she just breaks that again instead

My wife just calls it the money hole. She doesn't like online games because she feels ( they take to much time away from your family) I play an average of 1 to 2 hours a day lol
oh yea my mother in law calls it the killer looking sci fi games. She is into scifi big time. not bad for a 65 year old lol

Same here, but she usually has me put vent on the speakers so she can listen in. She's picked up quite the vocabulary from the Euro crew (namely "*******s" and "Bugger"), and she's fond of going "Pew pew" when we talk about going to the range on the weekends. Also has the decency to ask me to cloak or to dock or safe up when I have a second so I can help her with something.
At work, it's the forums for that spaceship game. Any other time, internet spaceships works. Occasionally someone will actually show some interest and I'll take the time to explain how it works to em.

The thing is my wife never ever ever talks about or mentions "the game" anymore. I usually just get the "dagger eyes" or the "I'm off to bed" or even worse I realise she went to bed an hour ago.
I guess my "addiction" is quite bad.......

GF calls it a dumb game and wonders why I dont get bored with it.
Easy I say. She gives what I want, when I want it, and shes not arguing about having a headache...

Are you playing with your girlfriend again? - wife. Sometimes it's "mistress" or "my rival"
But its a bit confusing because that's what she also calls both my sat nav (i never go anywhere without it) and my shiny new laptop on which i now play EVE...
And then some days its: "I hope she satisfied you". THEN i know i'm in trouble

At work one day:
Me: "I am totally into EVE."
Co-Worker: (with a funny look on his face): "She's married?!"
Me: "Oh? No, No, not that Eve!" (Eve is another Co-Worker)
"You're a total geek." (from my boss)

"the thing that you play instead of WoWing with me.." is what my wife says. It was me who got her into WoW so... and lol I am the guildmaster ffs  .
Whenever I explain EVE to friends, they all get bored.
Then I explain how you can pay your account with the in-game-money.
Then they get hooked.
