I'd like to pose a couple of questions to the new citizens. I hope you'll humor an oldie who's been around for as long as EVE herself.
Assuming you are a new player who recently subscribed from a trial, what was it that convinced you to take that step? And what, if anything, that you experienced would have been most likely to prevent you in taking that step?
Thanks!
p.s. Fellow oldies can comment too :)

Tell me about it, Verone! :D
Everyone, THANK you for the stories and for sharing your feelings on EVE. These days I'm really interested in what the trigger is for people to take the leap and become a real part of this universe we all love 
It seems that early social bonds, the depth and freedom of the universe, and the strong feelings the game triggers are always the most commonly named reasons.
I started playing in 2003 when I started working as a Game Master and at first I was pretty much a carebear :P. I dabbled in this and that. I mined, I did missions and tried out new ships.
It wasn't until I tried PvP first that something clicked in my head. Like many of you mentioned, I've never played any other game that has managed to produce a genuine "fight or flight" response in my whole body. Why jump out of a plane and risk death when you can get the same adrenaline rush in the comfort of your own home. I mean...in the cold depths of space!
Thanks again for sharing. I loved your stories. If anyone has more, feel free to share :)

My reason is already five years in the past (I started playing in October 2006) but I hope you will forgive the ramblings of a veteran...
When I was just contemplating my career in EVE Online, I came across a blog called "The EVE Online 0.0 Experiment". It literally blew my mind away; the passion, dedication and good humour that its author has invested in his writings had convinced me: "The place he writes about is amazing; I want to be a part of it."
So I went out and joined a 0.0 corp. The rest, as they say, is history...

Yes, I remember Innomitate Nightmare. What ever happend to him? I have not red anything as well written in EVE since then.
Unfortunately, I have no idea.  As far as I know he just stopped posting one day.

I never had a trial, I subscribed on day one. Why? Two simple reasons:
1) Eve worked on my Mac
2) I could fly spaceships
I saw Eve running on a friends computer and went straight home and downloaded it and haven't stopped since.
As long as I am able and Eve is around I will be playing it. I honestly can't imagine not playing it. If CCP stopped developing it right now I would continue playing it until I was the only one left in space. If you've ever wondered who that person would be, it would be me.
I have never played another MMO, not before Eve and not after. And I probably never will. (I do play computer games, console games and games on my iPhone/iPad) But Eve is the only MMO for me.
I write about Eve every day on EVEOGANDA. I produce artwork for fellow players, for EON, and for anyone else that needs it. I'm involved in Tweetfleet, I run the EVE BLOG PACK and honestly I'd do just about anything I could to help Eve, to promote it and to encourage others to play it.
And I do it all for the rush of Player vs Player combat. There isn't anything else like it, anywhere. Period.
Happy birthday and thank you for all your hard work!
