EVE is a boring old space game where you can't even leave your boring ****pit with boring long mining sessions and boring docking procedures.

With boring spread sheets PvP like fights.

With boring sessions and boring space screens with NO physics what ever.

In fact it is SO boring they let the players gain resources without even being bored logging in.

This gives an eternal advantage of course, because you will never trap older players because they progress even when being logged out.

Boring game for boring people who think they should play a game where your avatar is nothing but a boring poststamp in the upper left corner.

Am I being soo severe ?

No I am being rather nice even. :))))

Oh wait they play their game all on one server. I am sure f they would include such trivial boring things like trees, houses, a landscape and some decent planet graphics with at least some real physical behaviour, their game would come down as a brick.

Playing in a vacuum universe with no gravity laws at all, is like playing with emptiness all around you. Sums it up quite nicely.

Boring as hell.

EVE is the worst MMO every made in my opinion. Common example of EVE gameplay:

Spend 10 hours figuring out the controls
Start up your crappy ship
Get a few missions you don't understand
Get told by the tutorial to mine instead of do your missions
Spend 10 hours mining to get money
Get killed by space pirates
Lose all your cargo and ship
Do it over again
Get a level up and think ''woohoo, I can kill those mean pirates now''
Find out that levelling up takes days to actually do.
Get bored and see what the PvP is like
Mercilessly attack some poor sod mining
Get blown up by space police who come from nowhere
Fly your pod which goes at 1 mph to the space station for a new ship
Get killed by the space station because it now sees you as hostile
Get cloned and put in a new ship
Leave the space station
Get shot by space police
*rabbles on for 20 years*

And that's the entire EVE gameplay in a nutshell.

heres my 2 cents about EVE:

being really bored of wow this spetember,i thought i would try some other game.EVE was there with its free download+trial which really got me going

the story and background was amazing and i thought i would have lots of fun with this game.


oh how wrong i was!


i first make a ship and have to go through 3 hours of mind numbing tutorials which make almost no sense or explain things like im a baby

(you see that glowing icon on you left which has a map icon? that is your map!oh no really? i thought it was my ships toilet exaust port)-baby

(when you finish talking with an agent use you adress book to open the space station that is in the system that you bookmarked to when you talked to the agnet and you clicked his mission objectives! whait what?! i have to use which thing?)-no sense



when you finnaly do go out and try stuff for the first time,you realise the first fatal flaw of EVE.
absolutely no flying control of your ship!
thats right,all you do is eighter set the autopilot or doubleclick in space.
you cannot turn your ship,rotate it, or make complex flying meuveours(ala star wars type space fighting)
all you do is click the autopilot or you doubleclick into space,and you ship automatically goes there with full thrust(making the point of speed pointless since youre always going with maximum thrust)

PVP.is a complete joke from a newbs standpoint.altho i belive its more complex when you get those battleships and such. all i do is click my target,lock on to it,and click my turret buttons.meanwhile i try to have it whitin optimal range.
thats it,it doesnt change at all.the winner is the guy who had better shields/armour or weapons.there is no dodging the hits,since youre locked on and the only modifier if you hit/get hit is the range and perhaps some modules you can install.

the skills system is both a blessing and a curse.the blessing is obvious,you can learn skills while logged of which is very nice.but the real deal is when you realise the first few skills only take 1-2 hours to learn.while the advanced ones take up to a day or more.so whats the point of sleeping over it when i wake up i still has 7 hours to go.LAME!
the skills themselves really dont give you much stuff eighter.most give you some kind of uselss buff like +5% ship agility which is dumb.but most are there because you need them to upgrade you ship.for instance you cannot put shields on without knowledge about electronics.so basically its just prolonguing your playtime so you can play more while not really getting much out of it.

travel time is rediculus.when i check the EVE trade system and buy some new skill or module.i have to jump 20 times to the new system.in this time i can simply go away and go watch TV,because all the ship is doing is taking millions of years to jump from here to there.

the world is pretty bleak.there are perhaps 1000-10000 different solar systems AND THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME! each system has a sun,some planets,moons and asteroid systems.
there are no black holes,no spacial anomalies,no supernovas,the first place looks like the other with the exception of the name,the security rating and the people who run it

apart from mining,fighting and researching/manufactoring there isnt much you can do.did i say isnt much? i meant YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE! all the time youre in your little capsule inside you ship.you cant leave the ship and go explore space stations.

there is also the lag.which by only a small margin can make your game unplayable.unlike wow where your instants become 3 second cats.in EVE while some pirates arrive the game starts to lag and you cant run away because of it(which mans your dead)

the final thing is some of the vital game mechanics.some things made so that EVE can have more to do like escrow missions,bounties and currier mission and such are overly complex and you can barely understand whats going on,who ordered the mission,where it starts,who can take it....
