Tippia,
I agree with your serial thinking hypothesis. (I doubt that's the OP's issue though.) I think proficient multitaskers would not only enjoy the game more and have a shorter learning curve, but I suspect they'd be more successful in game too. And they may serve a purpose, but there could also be some validity to the idea that long trips and long waits aren't generally new player friendly concepts. It depends on which players of course but it's certainly debatable.
To the OP,
Though I cannot pretend to have similar gaming experience as someone who has "played every MMO that has ever been made," I can tell you that what I suspect makes EvE special are the ways it is not like other MMOs.
It goes without saying that CCP is in the buisness of selling gametime. Of course they are. But who cares about that?
That is the game.
Inside this beautiful, unpredictable pvp sandbox where anything can happen - and will - time adds to the gameplay experience here. The time investment required is likely directly related to the value players attach to their characters and to the game.
As a result, this game has a pretty loyal following. From what I've seen, EvE's bittervets are (at least in the forums) pretty much raving lunatics drunk with passion.
Well, some are just lunatics and some are just drunk, but they all do seem to care.
You don't get to be superhuman in EvE when you reach lvl 100 by killing enough bad guys. You can't win.
All you can do is invest yourself in the only space-themed mmo that's survived because of its differences and begin living the dream. Lay down plans to build your own empire. Build a balanced character and remember you are always competing with others in EvE.
Always.
Until you do, no matter what you write here, even though well-intentioned, will still be ideas from someone who's been playing a game that an investment of years cannot fully experience, for less than a week.
