It was 2005 and this guy I knew on an NWN server told me about this spaceships game he'd started playing.
So I gave it a go and I got hooked :)

I was searching for a fan made Star Wars movie called: Revelation. I found pictures of a Nyx from a game called Eve: Revelation and here I am 4 years later.

BTW: There's more flight control in 1983 Gyrus than in EVE ... lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF2m7EW9_lM
I still prefer Atari 2600 Phoenix over EVE sometimes due to higher frames per second count:

Always been a huge sci-fi fan, and I loved games like Star Flight. Sandbox space games that allow you to customize your ship and wreck havoc on the galaxy. The options in Eve sucked me right in, mining to manufacturing, being a good little pilot to being the feared pirate null space, the options seemed perfect for me. Being able to grab space and turn it into your own sovereign territory is also a massive selling point. So I've been playing off an on (would be constantly on if not for time constraints of life) for nearly two years now.

A friend of mine had been telling me for months about World Of Warcraft...I installed a trial CD on my computer, but before I started playing it I was browsing Gameplanet Forums and saw a thread for EVE Online, and thought I would take a peek. Read a few posts and thought "this game sounds pretty good."
Googled some screenshots and went to the EO website and downloaded the client. Floated around Cistuvaert for 20 minutes getting to know how the overview and controls worked, and got hooked :D

I should have mentioned this in my earlier response...but a big part of the reason I got so intrigued when I first caught whiff of Eve is because of my days on the BBS' playing TradeWars. When I first read about Eve my instant thought was "TW, all grown up!".

Was doing earth and beyond beta and some of the guys on the E&B beta forum were talking about this new game called "Eve Online" that was going into beta.
I got into the Eve beta test group 6 I think? Eve was one of the very few games I beta tested and continued to play after going live. That long couple of weeks between end of beta and live release seemed like the longest two weeks ever.

Was bored one evening, Backing up the latest episode of my fav show from the internet in case it went down, and saw the flashy goodness of an EvE advertise in my browser. Thought, "ah WTH" I tried WOW and StarTrek online for a full 2 hours before I uninstalled. Playing for 6 month so far and it seems I joined at just the right time. I'll be here for the long haul for sure.

I played sci-fi space games whole my gaming life...
So i ended up in X3...losing nights to it 
One day i read about Eve on X3 forum and it seemed interesting.
But i didnt tried it right away...
I finally decided to try it out after reading about GHSC heist somewhere and than watching this video...
..after watching it for 2/3 times in a row i signed up for a trial account right away...
So you might say that these three things were what got me to eve
It seems to me by the posts here that quite a few people have come to eve because of X games and GHSC heist ...

A heart attack.
Seriously.
Late Nov of '07.
Was stuck in bed and then housebound for a bit longer than sanity would allow, and while surfing in general I ran across an advert for the game.
Downloaded it, gave it a go on the 14 day trial, subbed on day 3 and never looked back.
Been doin' it wrong every day ever since.
Honestly, I've never had so much fun failing so miserably at a game.

In around 2005, somehow I came across an epic, really well-written story about an Eve scam. I think the author was Nightfreeze or something like that. After reading it, I had to check out the game. I had never played an mmo before and was really blown away. Having played numerous mmo's since, none could really stack up. To me, Eve is the only true mmo I've played, the rest hold your hand so much they feel like giant multi-player versions of single player games (if that makes any sense).

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? The fact in a game you could do something that sneaky and crushing was just intoxicating.
That and the full page picture of a crusader, it looked so evil 
So what drew you into the game?
This is exactly what got me in to EVE.

A friend was playing in 2005... he soon realized he needed help, so he recruited me in 2006...
After many adventures from Jita to Deep Zero and back and many other Pod Pilots coming and going,
he quit in 2009, but I have stayed. Why? I'm not sure...
Call it curiosity.

Surfing the net, finding this game. Then forgetting it. A year later i surfed the net again and found it then with a huge spider drone. I began to dream of using tons of spider drones to rip into a ship and use them to kill the crew and take it over with drones.
Then i read some story about drones doing just that and i was overjoyed. I pondered about it then finally decided to give it a try. Then i opened the game and within minutes my dream of combat spiders was crushed. So instead i turned to mining and found a nice corp then for 14 days i played like an obsessed. (i was very much younger) i couldnt afford it for some time because of the problem for an underage to pay for it online when there were no game cards.
So i did like all my friends and turned to wow. There were at least game cards at the local store for it. Then i returned for a month or two. Was accused by my new corp for espionage which wasnt true got depressed and quit Then i played around at wow again but i became insanely bored. So i came back for a month now and then and finally i came back for a while. Joined the rvb and later on another force i dont remember the name but those were good times. I was left behind in the second corp tough since they all went to low sec leaving me behind as the worst member skillwise. Then i quit and now i began again this time with a bunch of my friends and my brother. And thats how i came to play eve for the 5th or 6th time

I joined EVE when I seen an advert with the Naglfar on it, went straight for all the skills to fly it and when I got to the point of saving for it, I got told its quite possibly the ****test ship in EVE.

After playing Siege Perilous on UO for about 11 years I just got tired of it and left mainly because they'd made the game way too Care Bear friendly, all the fun stuff you could do during the first couple of years was gone. I started Earth and Beyond in Beta, and ended up running the 2nd largest group on the Andromeda server. A bunch of online friends I knew from Earth and Beyond were in the Eve Beta. Earth and Beyond ended so I brought my entire "guild" over to Eve the first week after Beta, almost everyone came, about 30 people. We were all in Endless Corp. Within two weeks it was down to three of the original group, most everyone said the game was "too hard to understand" or "there are too many bugs".
Well, there were a few bugs back then but they weren't fatal. It was still a lot of fun. It was confusing to me not being able to "steer" my ship though. I missed doing the "booty dance" from Earth and Beyond in station, and I missed decorating my ship, all of which was very minor BS and unimportant. Game play in Eve had a much greater depth to it. The first ship I lost was my first cruiser when a missile I shot didn't hit the rat but instead hit the gate in Iro and Concord killed me. I remember when the game got to 5000 subscribers, we all celebrated.
For reasons I cannot go into here, I left around the time of the great missile nerf. I really missed having cruise missiles on my Caracal. Then I came back in 2006 after trying some other online games and being very disappointed with that daily level grind. I left again in 2008. After playing online from 2008 to 2011, I came back again now as there just isn't anything else out there with the playability of Eve mainly because of the complexity of Eve, the depth of Eve, and the fact you can be as good or as bad as you want to be in Eve. I hate games where they regulate every single little thing you do, and if you scam someone you're insta-banned. I do not pull scams myself but I'd fight for people's right to do so. The day they make the "8,000,000 isk shuttle" illegal in game, I guess I'll leave again. Long live people like the GHSC and players like Ashley Sky. |

I first time found out about eve back in 2009 (I think it was Empyrean age) At first I was mainly interested in popping ships but then I discovered all the weird and wonderful things that eve had to offer. After 3 trials I were hooked. Reading the stories of massive scams, market manipulations, everse-shakening wars and the eve influence map. But what really got me into eve was seeing a titan DoomsDay.

This, although Elite 1 and Wingcommander deserve an honourable mention.
Eve's a real headscratcher, most games with any shart inducing action aren't.
