as for WOW, i have no idea what that even is, is it worth a look?.
wouldnt mind a wee change.
i imagine many of us will meet in quite a few online games in the future . luck.
d solo.
I played the beta of WoW, and imo its not worth the time, the lack of death penalty (except damaging your items that can be easily repaired) makes the game lack any excitement for killing or being killed.
Also Quests are about 90% of the games content for lvling, and that gets old after 2 weeks, its a real nice game as far as design goes but it gets old quickly.
They didnt include the actual PvP content into the beta, the honour system is being released either upon release or very shortly after, making PvP VERY worthwhile.
It'll open up new quests, new items, cheaper items from vendors in certain areas if you defend your realm, along with a lot of other stuff.
The death penalty is ment to be minimal because its VERY easy to die, hell a level 40 can be whooped by a couple of mid 20s easily, which is great because it doesnt mean you have to be the l33t level to be able to kill people, but it certainly gives you advantages in PvP if your a lot higher than everyone else.
Questing isnt necesarrily the way to go about leveling up in WoW, you have the choice, but its defo the best way to level up.
Hopefully Shiva will put some life back into EvE because, with the certain recent releases, EvE could be forgotten very soon apart from its hardcore fanbois, which would be a shame.

This is not really a topic about EVE vs WOW. Its a topic about someone leaving and letting their friends/coplayers know and stating their reasons. EVE is an awesome game, I think we all agree about that. There are not many titles out there that can completely "enslave" a person for a year and more. But the sad thing is, one day you just log in and realize that you have been doing the same old thing every damn day. Then you start thinking a bit about the direction and future and really see no promise there.
Basically, EVE is completely the same as it was 1,5 years ago when it was released. Biggest change in the mean time were the conquerable stations (tech2 doesnt really cut it, its just more and prettier of the same) and even they failed to change the playstyle or tempo dramatically. There is so much ******* promise, some of the ideas thrown around on these boards and discussed by devs are mindbending, but in the end, what do we get with Shiva? New ships/equipment (if you think about it, its the same thing when they put new swords/armor in "elf" games) which will do the same thing but more efficient. Starbases hold a bit of a promise in regard to change of dynamics but its just too vague to hold on. I personally think that the biggest change for regular PVPers will be the alliance system. But is it enough? Enough to make you give up a completely new, fresh and fun experience because of it? I dont know...
Anyway I didnt mean to type out this rant when I started but there you go. Just adding a different point of view.

I am going to WoW as well. These past two weeks I have been playing it exclusively and it has captured me in a way that Eve never did. I will still keep my main account however, because I finally just got enough to build a Scorp, but my second account will be sacrificed to the WoW gods.
I agree with your criticism of Eve. WoW will have it's own problems such as Warlock pet control, Shaman being overpowered etc. but the fact that it has a lot of fluff (drinking, stripping to your underwear and running around challenging people to duels) will make it a game that a lot of people will fall in love with. I know I have.
I like Eve as well, and I hope that Exodus will fix the serious problems that take all the fun out of playing it.

I also have Beta tested WoW for the last month and played it exclusively for the first two weeks.
I kept up with EvE skill training and checked my corp forums everyday. After two weeks, WoW did get boring and I kept reading on my eve corp forums how my corp mates where taking out enemies and my blood lust for eve returned.
The death penalty in WoW is the easiest in any game I have played. Eve gives a nice satisfaction when blowing up an enemy BS

WoW graphically looks like theyve just thrown a palette of paint at the models. Gameplay it isnt better than EQ2 either tbh...EQ2 will be better, bigger...and i dont even like them. i dont like any of those types of games

Dreeze, I understand your frustration; I hope you reconsider. Take a little break, put a skill running to level 5 and suspend the account. Do not sell it; I know you will be back under my spell in no time.. See you in 2 months! Or else!
Eternally yours, MuthaTrucka

This post should be in Out of Pod experience........
Anyway, Exodus is the last chance saloon for many players. If it doesn't hold its immediate "shiny sparkly new stuff" appeal, you truly will see an exodus of players.

tbh i get bored of eve every now and then, but then a major battle happens and it drags me back in.
i mean common guys we have been playing this game for oover a year now and i am still amazed with the graphics and the sheer size of the eve universe. i played linage 2 with some other people and year it was kinda interesting to be in first player mode and it was kinda cool to play with swords and stuff but hey i like going forward in time not back. Gimmie a rail gun over a bow any day of the week.
yeah eve has its floors but you know what i think most games do. EVE is a much better game than any out imho the only game i think that will ever put pressure on eve is pirates of the black sea or what ever its called
