T' Elk Happy Little Spaceships 537	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:15:00 - [1] - Quote Let's get the ball rolling: For me, I believe I saw one of those rare adverts way back in the day. First MMO I ever really played, and here I am 6 years later, excluding a few months of "refresher quits." ~Badposter since FOOOOREEEEEVAAAAAR~ // Inferno Came. It was meh. // The Beard is Back, Ladies and Gents!
Rath Kelbore The Six-Pack Syndicate 259	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:18:00 - [2] - Quote Searching for a game to try one day and came across a review of eve from 03before or whenever it came out. Rated 6 out of 10. I liked the description and the fact it wasnt a "fantasy" setting. That was about 4 years ago. I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.
Rer Eirikr SniggWaffe 151	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:18:00 - [3] - Quote A really, really, really old blog post on an Indie gaming site I used to read. Started playing, got bored, quit. Came back a year later and haven't left since.
Price Check Aisle3 154	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:19:00 - [4] - Quote I saw a friend playing it one day like six or seven years back, heard about some of the scandals and corp thefts, but pretty much ignored the game because it was an MMO (they still have a sort of stigma in my mind). Fast forward to last April, I was sick and bored on a weekend, remembered EVE and decided to give it a try. Kinda wish I'd done it a long time ago tbh. - Karl Hobb IATS
rareden The Scope Gallente Federation 8	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:30:00 - [5] - Quote the pixel demons forced me to do it, still do to this day (why the hell do i play this crappy game)
Alara IonStorm 2629	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:34:00 - [6] - Quote I love spaceships and I would watch a friend play it. He showed me the ship veiwer and I could not get enough of it. Then I met my previous girlfriend who loved MMO's and was on an EVE trial account so I got one too. She left the game eventually but I still played and am still playing.
JC Anderson Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group 671	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:34:00 - [7] - Quote I was in the closed beta of eve, and at that time I simply couldn't get into it. I was playing earth and beyond at the time, and knew somebody in that game that had wanted to get into the Eve beta but missed the deadline to sign up. I gave this individual my beta account in exchange for items in E&B. Eve eventually went live, and it was around that time that earth and beyond took a nose dive only to be shut Dan by EA. This resulted in a large number of refugees from that game coming over to eve. Ccp was even targeting people who played e&b with adverts that invited them to come on over to the other side. In all honesty the timing couldn't have been better for them. I decided to give Eve another try and to my surprise loved it. I also wantes to strangle myself for giving up my beta access. ;)
EvEa Deva State War Academy Caldari State 52	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:37:00 - [8] - Quote Started playing in 2005 Maybe i seen a pop up add when i was playing Planet Side, quit for a year, lost that account after i changed ISPs. Started playing again in 2006 on and off ( more off then on ) like 3 months at a time. After playing almost every gear grind MMO known to man, Im in eve to stay.
Alavaria Fera GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1184	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:43:00 - [9] - Quote Someone told me I could get blown up repeatedly and somehow annoy people while doing it. ... well the new newbies can web/jam Makalu . Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd Click for old school EVE Portraits: http://jadeconstantine.web44.net/Maison.htm
Creat1v1ty 5	Posted - 2012.07.15 05:07:00 - [10] - Quote I wanted to fly internet spaceships made of pixels.
baltec1 Bat Country 1637	Posted - 2012.07.15 05:12:00 - [11] - Quote SWG died and most of the intrepid server pilots came here for our space pew pew fix. We are still here
ACE McFACE 24th Imperial Crusade Amarr Empire 783	Posted - 2012.07.15 05:13:00 - [12] - Quote A friend said "You should play it!" and i was like "But MMO...." Then I was bored one day and decided to try it. Have never looked back "7 pages of people insulting me - aka trolling" - Lady Hofstedar What s/he (probobly he) meant: "7 pages of people disagreeing with my terrible idea - aka trolling" - Lady Hofstedar
Alpheias Euphoria Released Verge of Collapse 670	Posted - 2012.07.15 05:52:00 - [13] - Quote Swedish PC Gamer had a article back in 2002 about this bizarre sci-fi space MMO called EVE Online: The Second Genesis that was in development from this remote supposedly-covered-in-ice nation and having played games like Elite, Frontier: Elite 2, X: Beyond The Frontier, Wing Commander, Homeworld and numerous others, I was hooked! I'd kill kittens and puppies and bunnies I'd maim toddlers and teens and then more
Ecksor Caldari Provisions Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.07.15 06:11:00 - [14] - Quote Space, that's about it, the ships are a bonus.
Ilnaurk Sithdogron Crunchy Crunchy Peregrine Nation 67	Posted - 2012.07.15 06:28:00 - [15] - Quote I saw one of those EVE adverts, made two trial accounts before I finally decided to get into the game for real. I took a bit of a break the first few months of 2012, but I've been back for a while now. I don't usually get into MMO's, but EVE stands out from the rest of them by being so wonderfully different. The fact that there are spaceships and guns instead of horses and swords helps too. http://eve-sojourn.blogspot.com/ Sojourn, a newbie's EVE blog.
terzslave Vendetta Rising Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate 6	Posted - 2012.07.15 06:36:00 - [16] - Quote Hearing that this game needed an economist to monitor the economy. That got me interested so I read up on it. However the one thing that made me decide to play was the trial site showing the commodities with green and red arrows to show prices. As soon as i saw it I creamed myself and subscribed. BRING BACK THE TRIAL SITE WITH THE ARROWS!!!!
Merovee Gorthaur Legion Of Mordor 25	Posted - 2012.07.15 06:38:00 - [17] - Quote Was playing a space RTSMMO called Mankind, in 03 most of the player base left to do the closed beta, I didn't get in :(. but got in later after Mordor died out in Mankind. Mordor = BoB
Abel Merkabah TIMELINE Industries 62	Posted - 2012.07.15 06:38:00 - [18] - Quote Cracked.com's article on the five biggest **** moves in mmo history got me into it. "The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems."
Omega Sunset Caldari Roughnecks 0	Posted - 2012.07.15 06:45:00 - [19] - Quote Dunkin Donuts was giving away free EVE accounts with purchase of three dozen donuts and a small coffee. Oh wait that wasn't it... SWG:NGE Drifted in sometime after the catastrophe. Donuts sound better... EnB->SWG->EVE Bearclaw->Devils food->Apple Fritter Small coffee

Darek Castigatus Immortalis Inc. Shadow Cartel 103	Posted - 2012.07.15 07:01:00 - [22] - Quote Friend of mine convinced me to give it a go, I'd been playing guild wars for about a year and was getting abit bored with endless grind so decided to give it a shot, never looked back
Xinivrae GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 42	Posted - 2012.07.15 07:06:00 - [23] - Quote My friend told me it would be way too complicated for me to understand. I told him I was gonna play and be an awesome space pirate. I failed.
Josef Djugashvilis The Scope Gallente Federation 367	Posted - 2012.07.15 07:17:00 - [24] - Quote Saw adverts for Eve while it was in beta, started playing for a short time when it first came out, early summer of 2003. Real life got in the way so stopped playing. Started again five years ago. You want fries with that?

Love the music. Hah! I have a few friends I got into the game simply by showing them that vid. ;) Dare I say that Junkie XL's "Beauty never fades" is timeless.
Kasperow Avitus Lugus 0	Posted - 2012.07.15 08:49:00 - [27] - Quote I was pretty much forced to at least give EVE a try. Now I'm enjoying EVE more than I thought I would with 3 active Accounts.
Lilliana Stelles Mindstar Technology Executive Outcomes 104	Posted - 2012.07.15 08:50:00 - [28] - Quote Four years ago, I was a student, sitting in compsci class, complaining about how all MMOs had become dumbed down, simple, casual, and lacked customization. Fat kid behind me pipes up and tells me no matter how hardcore I think I am, that EVE would be too much for me. Challenge accepted. Still working on it.
Dasola Rookies Empire Rookie Empire 43	Posted - 2012.07.15 08:55:00 - [29] - Quote Blame my wife, its her fault... Seriously, she watched tv documentary about virtual worlds and eve was one of those mentioned in that programm. She says to me, " I see this game on this you might actually like...". Well i get trial, two days later im subscibed and been playing this ever since... Just love how nothing in this game is really scripted, so theres no set in stone path to follow. But you got freedom to forge your own path.. Ok that and upto 45.000 other players on same gameworld at peak times. [Insert something funny or smart here]
Dave stark Martyr's Vengence Test Alliance Please Ignore 166	Posted - 2012.07.15 09:03:00 - [30] - Quote got bored of wow and wow clones, decided it was time for something completely different.
