I have only been playing a week and love the game so far.
Let me know if you find an MMO that lets you affect the grand NPC Based backstory....then you can come here and wine.
I like the anology to this being more like simulating life than a game. There is little soap/space opera's going on all over the galaxy. You want epic?? Right before I joined, the player ran EBANK pretty much went belly up and froze everyone's accounts....with a loss of 1.72 TRILLION ISK, and thousands of characters/players affected by it...you think that didn't have a major affect on a large quantity of players and their "story line?"
I myself have started a corp for the sake of me and my friends and going to expand out from there...hoping to make a name for ourselves by many different avenues.
Get in a good corp or start your own...make your own story line or join the cause of someone elses.
Or if ya can't do either, then get out of New Eden...it isn't for you.

Intelligent perspective.
More Natural Selection at work.
This pod pilot will go far.
Rookies should compare the OP to this post and that will give them a very good idea about who will enjoy this game.
Luck to you Pyro.
Thank you for the kind words....Even if you belong to "I don't know my daddy annonymous" (lol sorry couldn't help but notice the corp name)
But in all seriousness....thank you :)
Also looking at my post again...something to note is that this game IS NOT for everyone. It's by letting the game fit a small niche of players that let's it accell at what it does. Unlike games like WoW, UO, EQ, and SWG that by trying to fit the game for everyone, ended up breaking themselves or is on that downward spiral.
By realizing what makes EvE great (and not so much), and forming an opinion off that....you can decide if it fits your niche or if it isn't you cup of tea. For example I didn't play eve for a long time simply because I loved UO (early years before the split) and I couldn't phathom playing a game where I never left my ship...heck the reason I finally gave it a look was the rumor that CCP is doing a World of Darkness MMO and that the tech for it is the same that will let Eve players walk in stations. Then I said "Hey, ill give it a shot since that's in the works" Well now that I have tried it, i think, "how often do space pilots really leave their ships?" and wish I had tried this game back in '03 when it came out.
Point of the Wall-O-Text...Everyone has reasons a game would or wouldn't be for them....Some moreover than others and Eve definatly has more reasons to be critical. But as a gamer, a role-player, and a MMO enthusiast (so glad to have an MMO that feels like the early years of UO) i personally believe that it is wrong to not recommend a game just cause you simply don't agree with it. I even don't recommend this to all my friends just cause of the learning curve and can see how some won't get it, and I have decided I would keep playing.
Either way....good luck to you....it's all decent advice in this thread so....do what you will.
