Long time Sci-Fi fan. Played the wing commander series, freespace, freelancer etc a lot and red about eve in a pc magazine. Later on i tried it out and quit a bit later cause of the missing Joystick Control. 2 Years later i rediscovered it and am addicted since then.
I enjoy pretty lots of aspects of the game but most likely the random events, you never know what happens next but you need to plan with it. Sometimes i mess with obvious baits just to get out of a trap, break gatecamps for fun, watch people do stuff and wait for a chance to strike.
The first 2-3 Years i really enjoyed running missions and sometimes ratting in 0.0 but now its all about the pvp and the adrenaline.
There is just no other game that remotely could compete with eve and i tried alot.
Once eve addicted you wont find joy in any other MMO, may it be Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

I play because EVE is the only adequately designed sci-fi/spaceship MMO on the market. And looks like there will not be a challenger for many years if ever.

False. I find myself enjoying RIFT and WoW before it. I'm not a one-mmo guy by any means, and am looking forward to Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: TOR as well. Opinions, you know.

It's the people of course.
Having just joined a different corp in a different region of space I'm still finding my niche but it'll happen and they have positive plans for the future, which I hope to be part of.
That said the people I flew with on and off for four years or more are still friends just in a different region in different corps, this happens. It's a good thing in different ways.
It's not about the different aspects of the gameplay that's just the honey in the Tea that is the community of pod pilots we call Eve.

I'm currently playing because
1. It's quite relaxing (when I'm not dealing with PvP)
2. It's so purdy, and getting even purdier by each release
3. Practically free with the PLEX system
and
4. It's the best sci-fi MMO on the market.
I also like the fact that, as an NPC-corp-loyal independent, I am beholden to no one and can play and explore the game at my own pace. This isn't something even remotely unique to EVE, though. It's just a nice thing, since all you ever hear about with EVE are the stories of political machinations and crazy PvP encounters and the like. It's a very nice way to unwind after a hard day at work.

i basically asked myself this question a few weeks ago...why am i paying $15 a month for this? i couldnt think of a good answer so i just cancelled for now, once again. the new features brought me back as usual, but most of the game remains stupid so im done until ships are rebalanced, 0.0 and FW are fixed, etc.
a better question for me would be: why do i keep resubbing? the answer is simple. EVE is overall a bad game, but it's the only decent sci fi / space ship / pew pew MMO out there. i hope there are some decent sci fi mmo's in the work. anyway, once GW2 is out, EVE will be far from my thoughts.

Hey guys,
Hi NinjaSpud. I've seen you around.
Originally by: NinjaSpud
I was just wondering what everyones motivs where behind choosing Eve as your game. And, has that changed over the years you've played?
I started playing EVE so I could have something to occupy my time while studying for school. Yes, it's changed. I stopped studying for school and got a job. Now I pay for EVE's skill changing and PI. Mostly nothing else. It's an addiction. I wanna get out. But I'm addicted to the thrill of just having a *chance* of dying.
Originally by: NinjaSpud
I first started to play Eve, becuase I'm a big fan of sci-fi games, I love large scale in-depth game mechanices. I thrive off of competition, and enjoy the occasional tear from my victims. I wanted a game I could constantly get better at, without there being a defenitive 'skill cap'.
I also love large scale in-depth game mechanics. Very in-depth. EVE is that. I also love space games. I played a game, Escape Velocity. I loved it. One day I told my best friend that I wished Escape Velocity could be multiplayer. He then pointed me here. Good stuff.
Originally by: NinjaSpud
Now, I continue to play to get better at organizing other people. I love being an FC, and calling out battle tactics. I love planning out a large, complicated objective and actualy being to complete it. The best thing in Eve is accuratly predicting what an enemy is going to do, then countering it.
Yeah, I'm not so good at that. I just play the damn game.

It's the closest thing to massive multiplayer Elite I know, and thus the closest to the game I have been dreaming of since I was an eight year old with a C64.

Lots of reasons:
[list]Complexity and depth
Constant iteration and evolving
It's gorgeous and getting better all the time
Spaceships
emergent gameplay
persistent, un-sharded world
CCP's unique vision and persistence to do things their way
the backstory and fiction
the passionate fans
sci-fi setting and simulation
skill system
the game has a strong future
did I say spaceships?
I could go on, but those are the most obvious reasons.

I don't actually know why I'm still wasting my time with this "product", possibly because there's nothing better available. I recently got fed up with the CCP idiocies and dropped from 4 account to 1, sold the chars on the three accounts and retired into highsec. Now I got all the freedom to do what ever I want and a fat enough wallet to support it.
We'll see how long it'll take me to stop logging in to anything else than just to change skills, so far I'm enjoying my "Bitter Vet" status. Nullsec can go to hell for all I care, I've had enough of it for few lifetimes.

Unrestricted PvP, scams etc and the general "brutality" of Eve was what brought me back. I'm not so sure that's enough to retain me now, Eve is a pretty unchanging place these days and now I'm a bit wiser to things there's always the suspicion of botting/RMT being behind most of the nullsec sov entities.
Anyway it was the "danger" of Eve, knowing that pretty much unlike all the other MMOs out there I could be killed/scammed anywhere and the GMs wouldn't do a thing.

I play because...
There isn't anything better.
I love science fiction.
I love SPACE.
I love watching things explode.
I enjoy the progression system.
I sometimes enjoy just traveling around looking at different things.
And I also really like most of what CCP is doing.
Bitter vets need to lighten up.

I started to play because of a friend was playing this. He basically bankrolled me while starting up. I just play this when he's on and I keep constantly training. I usually play Xbox 360 and shooting games(not Crap of Duty).
I like EVE, I don't always like what goes on all the time, but that's the fun as it's unpredictable. It has a lot of 'any given moment' kind of situations. There is danger in everything you, sans market and docking up.
I am waiting for DUST 514(If it's going to be called that) and SW:TOR. Besides a month playing Star Trek Online when it first came out, this has been the only MMO I have played. I like it so far, just fix hybrids please.

I tried Rift, STO, RFO, AO, Mythos and whatnot and still trying to find the EVE of Fantasy MMORPGs which does not include Kill X/X or Collect X/X. That makes me stop playing after a short amount of time.

Hehe,
startet.... to check it out, after 30 minutes.. gah no cockpit **** this.... 3 days later i was bored and checked it out again, that was 2 years ago...
Now:
becouse of the damn unpredictable human part of every given situation in this game, eve is awfull becouse it is human driven, becouse you can get screwed over at any given time, everywhere by everyone.
I love it it's just not getting boring until you stay docked in a station.
You always see someone doing something stupid or awesome.

Erm.. No it's not.. :-S there are actually several playable spaceship mmo's available.. It is however (IMO) the best by far.
Others include:
STO (me, but I think will get better in time)
Star Wars Galaxies JTL expansion (old, and mostly crappy)
Earth and Beyond - resurrected from the dead as a free to play emulator currently in stress beta 4 and is TOTALLY AWESOME
Black Prophecy - currently in open beta testing
Jumpgate (the original - very old, still running)
Vendetta Online (very old, still running)
Battlestar Galactica Online(surprisinly amazing graphics for a browser based game, and F2P)
StarQuest Online (an absolutely incredible gaming experience gift-wrapped in the ****tiest graphics known to mankind)
I'm sure I'm missing a couple.
Anyways some of these are good (E&B) but most suck. EVE for me is a gaming experience unlike any other .. The mechanics of the game create an unparalleled amount of options, and control that a player has over his own destiny, and the destiny of the universe..
I can't even begin to enumerate the awesome features of this game..
The cries of 'eve is dying' are ridiculous.. Eve has barely begun.. It's a shame so many people can't see beyond their own boredom, lack of imagination, killboard stats and whatever stupid changed feature ruined their particular money-making mechanic or comfortable corner of the universe.
Nothing in eve is static, conflict drives everything, and new eden is in constant flux.. Empires rise and fall, and the conflics are as real as they can be. as are the emotions, and betrayels.
No other game in existance comes close to achieving this.. the only games that even come close to eve in these regards were StarQuest Online (which will never be popular cus it looks like ****) and Star Wars Galaxies before the CU/NGE ..

STO, ok you got me there, and honestly I would play it but its Star Trek and its amazingly buggy.
BP and JGE don't count since they're not actually out yet. I did play the old JG but no one else plays it anymore so its not really an MMO :p
BSG is a browser based game and F2P. I guess I should have pointed out that criteria, an MMO that is not F2P and has a standalone client.
The rest of those I've never heard of so they must not be that great.

I play cuz it's what I enjoy. I have 4 accounts with 6 active characters. If I get bored with one character/profession, I just switch to another character/profession. I have a mining corp if I don't wanna pewpew. If I dont wanna mine, I go mission for R&D standings. I am sorta antisocial and don't interact much with corpmates etc so thats about my only negative experience with Eve...and thats of my own making, not a result of game mechanics.
In a way, I find making Isk satisfies me. In Eve I'm a RICH BASTARD unlike in RL...lol

I quite liked eve in 2003. What you could and could not do were far less limited. More 'sandboxy' if you will. Even though there are technically more physical options these days, there are many more constraints as well.
