A review in the NYT, didn't even imagine games could have the stunning graphics and realism Eve had once I downloaded the trial. Was a Sci-Fi junkie as a teen, reading everything I could get my hands on to escape the drudgery of my Catholic upbringing.
Not only could I now see the spaceships and adventures of the books, I was in the books!

I started in 2004 after I saw some janky ad that said pirating was a "career choice". To be fair, in those days low sec was filled with helpless npc'ers. Oh teh good ol days...
This one?

What drew me to the game was the racing heart, sweaty palms and nervous twitch I get whenever I enter low-sec.

Beware, long nostalgic post.
Originally by: Aaron Zebulun
I started eve because back in 2006, I picked up a copy of pc gamer in the school library and ready the 5-6 page story about the Guiding Hands heist?
I remember reading that, I may even still have it lying around as a keepsake. Can't find it at the moment but I do have the PC Gamer with the "All About EVE" article (Oct 2004) and the EVE Investment Bank scam (Nov 2006).
And back then I was a huge Freelancer fan, EVE seemed just like Freelancer but on a vastly more epic scale. I also had a vested interest in Games Workshop's Battlefleet Gothic and greatly enjoyed reading any article about it in White Dwarf.
But alas, I was only a wee teenager. Not old enough for a debit card, there was no way I'd be able to pay the subscription for EVE. As I grow the memories of EVE faded and it's deathblow came when I started playing WoW shortly after starting college.
During 2007 I'd played the EVE trial, it was everything I thought it would be and more. I remember saving up alot of ISK and buying myself a Rifter. Unfortunately, one module was in Amamake... I undocked right as a fight was taking place outside and the rest is history. I effectively ragequit after that.
WoW kept me entertained for a number years till at university I met some people on my course that also played WoW and more importantly EVE as well. I'd always wanted to give EVE another go and now with some friends to guide me I took the plunge once again on 14th of June 2008.
I haven't looked back since and Anddeh here will be celebrating his third anniversary of obtaining his Pilot's License in a few weeks.

I saw the very first boxed version in 2003 at a Circuit City. I was twelve at the time, and I wanted spaceships very badly.
Been playing (off and on) ever since. Grew up with it :)

I was playing freelancer and loved it. Then My brother showed me Eve Never Fades video and we both were hooked, we started up had no one to teach us how to do anything and stumbled around just loving the environment, made friends and joined some corps then ended up making and running Sons Of 0din, we've been running it for over 2 years now and it is a successful pvp corp, though my bro is on a long break from Eve at the moment.
Im looking forward to deeper immersion and a more 'whole' scifi experience with incarna and beyond.
Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

the PC magazine i read is full of eve fanboys.
after a few articles talking about how the players can really change the game on the political and industrial level, i tried the trial.
the 1st day was horrible, i didn't understood anything, and got killed less than 1hour after undocking (yellow wreck bait)
but i continued.

I was browsing ****ography and instead of the usual graphic adult rated pop up's that normally come up, it was filled with space ships and told me a "New adventure awaited! Make new friends!" And while I normally don't click the ****o pop ups something with eve just fascinated me... I don't think it was the adventure...Oh yea the prospect of having friends ;_;
But just like a frat it costs a monthly fee and you soon learn that the drama is more entertaining than the actual frat.

In early 2004 I moved in with a friend who played, he showed me a little bit of gameplay and most importantly, the Thorax. Within a month i was in one and enjoying drone fury in low sec. I had to quit for a spell when i moved in with the then girlfriend, but she turned out to be considerably less interesting and was promptly ditched.
Been playing now on and off since 2005, its not just the game that brings me back after each rage quit its the chat on coms and the absolute joy i receive from wiping out fleets i had no right engaging. Here's to the next 7 years!
(current girlfriend is more interesting than eve, but accepting of its ways)

I started playing when my wife watched some document about virtual worlds in television. She sayd: hey check this out, you might like it...
So i got myself 14 day trial at time.. 2 days later i have registered and have been playing ever since...
All this was in 2008, so i have been witness to few expansions since then. Some good, some ugly.
Now days running only 4 accounts, have limited my addiction from 8 accounts

I got intrested in EvE when I read about the down-fall of BoB in one of the Game magazines.. I thought it was epic that in-game drama had made it on to the pages of magazines. Although I did not start playing til much later the next year.
The ever evolving nature of EvE keeps it fresh (although I don't agree with all the "fixes" by CCP)

Well back in April 2004, I had been playing PlanetSide for almost a year and wanted to see about other games with a sci fi theme. Lo an behold... EvE Online since April 8th, 2004.

Actually?
Steam.
I had heard of Eve before but never really noticed it. Then I went through the Demos etc. in the Steam store and stumbled upon the 14 days Trial for Eve. On the next day I read up on the game, watched some YouTube vids.. and was amazed.
And still I can't understand why I never tried Eve before.. I guess when I heard from it first I was still at school/Uni and didnt have the ISK uhm.. EUR for that, as the other MMO I played then and still do is only about EUR 6 per month.

I was working for a Lovecraft based MUSH when one of the other volunteers mentioned 'this odd spaceship game'.. then when I hit burnout I came by and read the forums for a few weeks before subbing up.. That was a well spent two weeks, lemme tell ya.

I first heard about it from a friend, But wasn't terribly interested at the time.
Then a few months later i read an article about the GHSC heist and decided to give it a go. |

RL friend and his pirating stunts for me. Solo ransoming faction battleships in his Vaga? Yeah, that looked cool. Dropping in on unsuspecting targets and reducing them to a pile of scrap? Doubly so.
Been hooked since.

What really got my attention to EVE was the whole prospect of everything is in one universe/server and when you lose something its gone, later after discoverign everything is made and produced byt heplayers it draged me in even more, but what really got me in was the impact that one person could have in the world of EVE, where every action had impact , and this was way back in early 05 for me, and the game has grown ever since then and continues to evolve, granted not always in the best way but CCP have always gone for something brand new and not just recycling the same old gimmiks that have been tryed over and over again by every other MMO out there, keep up the good work CCP.

Years ago, back in the seventies I was playing Traveller. Played a bit with Traveller II and other role playing games but the idea of heading out amongst the stars grabbed me. Hardly surprising as I remember the moon landing as a kid at junior school.
Then in later life I played a few science fiction play by mail games, particularly Supernova II and then, one day, I picked up a copy of Flagship and read an article on the game and, well, it may as well have said in big coloured letters, "Myfanwy, this is your game."
My only complaint is that I didn't find this game sooner.

I began back in 2007. A good buddy of mine, who also happened to be roommates with me at the time, was playing this weird spaceship game. To me it looked like a space background with little red +'s he was shooting balls of light at in something called a "mission". It looked boring as all get out, but he began to explain to me how practically anything is possible in the game. Piracy, huge hundred man fleet fights, hauling, mission running, owning space (Sov). And then he mentioned the one thing that actually piqued my interest. Mercenaries.
I inquired a bit about it, and instead of trying to explain to me what a mercenary was in this game he showed me some videos.

The possibilities of this game really sunk in, I installed the client. Character creation was cool, I chose my character for the "RP" aspect even though I never planned on RPing. My frigate was awesome, this "noob" ship looked pretty cool! Then I undocked, camera all zoomed in on my ship. I begin to zoom out when something starts covering my screen and I see this Apocalypse battleship right next to my ship. The scale was absolutely amazing. My heart pounded with how awesomely huge that ship was and I knew I was hooked.

This thread should be proof enough ccp should just increase the subscription by $5 usd rather than vanity(that many dont want anyway).

I started in 2009 and thought the game was too complex for me.Also i couldnt accept being a ship.
Then in 2011 after almost giving up the MMORPG genre due to WOWziness effect, i decided to try this again when i read about the 21day trial and game costing 19 bucks.
To my surprise the graphics were much better, the tutorial was very good and all that complexity became a pleasure to start learning. |
