Originally by: Noriath Eve is acctually the first thing I ever found out about through a web-banner. I normaly don't even give them a second look, but the pretty spaceships drew me in.
same here I NEVER click on ads but clicking on that one was my best mistake ever
I saw the ad on www.gfxartist.com

seen it on a shelf in US, in a box, when i was playing EnB, was looking for something that had more depth then EnB, bought it, didnt like the complexity, nor the seemingly emptyness after the Tut missions, but returned a couple months later to give it another try, and have been here little over 1.5 yrs, cant see anything on the horizon, that will take its place ----------------------------------------------- In the End , there can be only 1

learn from yesterday, that u may be stronger tomorrow

There was an article on Slashdot about a guy who pulled off a big battleship BPO scam, read that and spoke to a RL gaming mate at work about Eve. As I was addicted to Elite and Eve seemed all that and more then I just had to get it. Got a bit bored midway through being in an empire 'bear corp, so I moved out of that corp and am now enjoying being in a 0.0 based alliance with a mix of NPC hunting (True Sansha spawns 4tw) and PVP.
I think there are two stages to the game in Eve, the empire way of life and then you go out into 0.0 and the world of alliances and that is when the real game kicks in as there is quite frankly nothing like it.

I was playing Homeworld 2...Realised even though it was fun it wasnt exactly what I wanted. Picked up Pc Gamer and was reading through it....realised EvE was on the demo disc. I thought 'Hmmm might as well give it a go' thinking that id give it a week or so and probably move on like i usually do. How wrong could I be!
Joined a corp within a month and never looked back...lets hope its around for a long time as I cant ever see it being beaten for many yrs to come.
People come and go and there will always be someone unhappy about something but in my book its the only game YOU can choose what you do and how you do it. It can be as challenging or as easy as YOU want it to be. No one says you have to do this or that.
If the changes that are implemented dont suit you...try something else. That way you discover different aspects of the game you might never have tried before.

I was playing freelancer just after it came out. I liked the game but there was alot of features that i wished was in it. What do you do when you want to express such feelings...go to the website and ***** ofc. I got to the freelancer forums and sure enough top of the page a 18 page thread with a title along the lines of "Things you wish were in freelancer". Page one concisted of the usual moaning and whining but about half way down page two there was a link "CLICK ME your prayers are answered" it said. The rest of the page and the following 16 pages consisted of "OMG" "holy crap" "I NEED that game" "when is it out?". Ever curious I clicked the link to find out what all the fuss was about. It lead to the eve beta site...
Suffice to say I signed up right away. Decided that my 56K modem wasnt going to be able to play this fantastic game so moved from the mountains of scotland to family in london just to get a better connection. The day i got cable my beta app came through.. \o/
Rest is history :)

Saw the box in a store, sighed deeply as my old puter had no chance of handeling the client. I sighed many more times as i visited the site, read about it in magazines. Then old puter decided to get wierd in it's old age, bought new puter. The week after it was assembeld, i got the box on discount and the rest is history..

Read a very small article in Micromania (1/8 page or so) that talked about a new sci mmog being developed. Went to the website and downloaded the small video that featured 3 Tristan. 27th December 2001.

I heard about it from another game I played while EVE was in Beta called Subspace, someone on there pointed me to this little gem and I signed up for the beta right away. Joined my first corp called Merchants Alliance with Dark Matter as CEO and was hooked from then on =P There's just no other game out there like EVE, and this game is everything I wanted in an MMORPG (well, except for a more involving storyline but that's for another thread).

I used to play a game on my Amiga .. a loooong time ago called Elite, and later on the sequel Elite II : Frontier.
Well long after my Amiga had been stashed away in the attic, I discovered EVE Online, which after some research turned out to be influenced by the two games I mentioned above, I fell in love straight away.
Yaarrr!!

I too played Earth and Beyond, it was my frist on MMORG.
Heard about EVE but didn't like the clone and PVP thing. But after the sunset announcment and the trial offer from EVE I gave it a shot. Been here ever since with 2 accounts. POOKA is my alt.
Wish we could walk around stations like we did in Earth and Beyond.

I read the PC Gamer UK article on EVE and WoW and thought it brought up a lot of good points on a MMORPG game. In WoW, what are my accomplishments? Nothing but hitting lvl 60 and going to the next high level area to treadmill some more. But in EVE, instead of epic armor sets, there's epic stories. I love the idea of a world of almost absolute freedom, where I can be who I want to be and the world takes notice.
And then I read the article about the Guiding Hand Social Club and Ubiqua Seraph and I was just in awe. This can't happen in any other MMORPG because they don't have the same freedoms as EVE has. I didn't join this game to exploit bad behavior, but the possibility that stories such as this can exist is simply a blessing. The realization of the fact that EVE is a real Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game brought me to the vast universe of EVE.

Played EnB, hated it.
Some months later, Lazareth Link, who i'd previously known as VCell (Splinter Cell community) told me to play on MSN so i could be his slave. 7 days later i was paying, been ingame without a break now for 13 months. ___________________________

I came to Eve way before it went into beta. Back then I was playing Mankind, which was basically the first space based MMOG.
Mankind was great but after some time it just went down the drain because of the developers not doing what was necessary and the technical nature of the game, which made cheating all too easy.
So when I quit Mankind I searched for a new space based game to keep me entertained (I always loved games revolving around space... dunny why really) and that's when I stumbled across the Eve website. A few looks at the first screenies then woke my interest and after reading a bit more I basically got hooked, started whoring the forums and stayed here eversince.
Of course I applied for beta, got in at phase 3 and started my retail account shortly after release.
What's keeping me hooked to the game? Well, I guess it's just the complexity of the game and the nice community around it. Eve is basically the only game I play nowadays because evrything else just doesn't suit me anymore.
It's just cool.

Heard about EVE when I was beta testing EnB. Was totally into EnB, and swore I'd never ever play EVE. I even remember going onto the EVE beta forums back then and flaming some EnB-haters
But, then EnB came out, and I realized that, oops, I'd already gotten a JW to lvl 150, and a PE to 132, and already killed just about everything killable, and didn't want to wait months for a new patch. Brought my new PE up to lvl 50 and then quit.
Played PlanetSide for a while, but really needed an MMO to play occasionally (sometimes you feel like just playing a relaxing game). I tried SWG and it just sucked. Then my bro checked back up on EVE and reminded me about it. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend of just over a year and needed something to sorta bury myself in, and the rest is history. February somethingorother 2004 I started playing.
