first of all: you haven't seen anything of the gameplay yet and you're an alt
and then: why do you think there is a 14 day trial available?
now go and slash bunnies in WoW

I found that really annoying. Say what you like about SW Galaxies but at least you can control your ship fully! ... With polished graphics and a massive play area, why you wouldn't be allowed to take direct control is beyond me. Also, the fact you're always stuck on your spaceship is something I thought I'd accept if the rest of the gameplay was good... I just find so many annoying things in this game's design that I could go on for pages. And the interface is horrible.
It takes a lot for me to throw a game aside after just one day.
And, gameplay in WoW offers much more than slashing level 1 rabbits. And a heck of a lot more than games like this. Ok, two completely different games in terms of setting and all that but I have played hundreds of games across many different systems in the last 18 years and this game ranks very lowly on that list.
the problem is that this game is so completly different from all other MMORPGs i know...
maybe that is why i am still playing it
true you have to like being "stuck" to your spaceship but at least you can fly every ship there is if you want to.
the taking full control of your ship part might seem like a good idea now that you fly a frig and only engage NPCs, once you are in a battleship you will think "does this thing move at all?" and once you fight other players you will realize that the only way to get all the things done is to not have to fly the ship yourself as well. targetting, checking ranges, getting your guns ready, communication etc just won't allow for having the stick in your hand aswell. in this game you will find that you have to rely more on your fellow players than on your skills alone.
the true and vast universe of this game will only open itself to you once you got the basics (and that can take some weeks really) and go out there to work together with other players.
what i like so much about this game is that it doesn't force you to team up with others as you can do most things on your own but teaming up just increases the options..
mining for example, alone you can accomplish a lot but imagine working in a team with dedicated haulers, miners and guards....
all i can say is give this game another chance, run the tutorial and tehn make up your mind what to do and where to go...
work for agents or kill those asteroids and build modules for market, hunt donw those dreaded pirates (NPC for now) that plague the asteroid belts in lower sec systems (0.8 and lower)...
there are so many choices and ways to go i am sure EVE has one for you as well.
and if you still don't like it just cancel your subscription and you lost what? 14Ç...
i don't know where you are from but in some countries 3 beer cost more

We're just trying to help the guy out. We are just discussing the reality of judging things too quickly in todayÆs society of the effervescent tribulations into the consternations of the bontoviscactitudes, that all.
don't tell me, tell teh mods

You never see some guy with a joystick on the bridge of the Enterprise or Vaders flagship, i think the Eve control system is spot on.
