I remember reading a website offering EVE trials aaaages ago, must have been soon after launch at least within the first 4-6 months. I was interested and tried to get a trail, but apparently they had all been taken (limited #).
I finally found another source about a year and a half later and been loving it since.

It's amazing how EVE is known mostly by sheer obscure ways, like word of mouth or seeing an ad in a website. Personally a friend that saw EVE being top rated on MMORPG.com told me to try it. I downloaded the client, got me a serial code for testing and guess what? I bought the whole year right away after my first month of play! Honestly, no matter how many people want EVE dead, the VERY own fact that you can play it "offline" is a big incentive for me. I can "level up" without grinding hours upon hours :) . So I foresee EVE alive for a very looong time. Will be here till the last server is turned off for good! |

A couple of years ago I read a fic about EVE on some gaming site, forgot which. I thought that it was a sweet story, but back then I didn't (out of principal) want to pay to play online.
Then, some friends bailed on SWG, and my work m8 wanted to try EVE. We both hit up accounts, and the rest is history. I can't stop playing... :D

i got into eve during the beta.. i cought some glimpse of it on the currents of the web.. it was everything i could have hoped for in a game.. now.. if only there was a way to merge it with an fps... (such would be the final facet) to date, it is the general player control of the universe that makes eve such a phenomina. Back in the day it was the extent of the universe; that there were so many systems, so many possiblities for a character.. that it didnt require stickig to any strict hiarchy, you do what you want, train what you want, go where you want, you are only constrined by your choises... in this eve stands alone. |

Two of my friends have been playing eve for over 2 years, i got them to play City of heroes (which i play far too much), and in return i now play eve (again far too much), i must say this game kicks ass.

I was bored one night and searched google for online games... and this popped up. Never heard of it, but saw the free 14 day trial.... that was 2 months ago, been playing since. Just my 2 cents.

Personally i hope eve continues to expand pretty slowly, and specifically i hope that it never becomes really mainstream.
The last thing we need is a massive dump of players from other mmorpgs crashing the party and ruining it for us all.
In my experiance eve has a much more mature player base than other MMOs, and it shows. There has to be commitment and loyalty and trust for corps and alliances to flourish. Theres active democracy and positive dicatorships, and every governmental method in between. Thats not going to work with vast amounts of players only interested in how big their e-peen is.

I found out about EVE from Fortune magazine. They did an article about a few online games and this is the first one I searched. I have still been meaning to google those other games...But this one takes all my time....

I knew about EVE sence release, but I couldnt play it at the time.
Nobody I know has heard of EVE, all have heard of WoW.
WoW is one of the few mmorpgs Ive seen advertised on TV in New Zealand.
A bit of prime time TV advertising in the USA might go a long way.
Think 'EvE never fades'

When he says a while ago, he means 2 1/2 years ago it was on the shelves. If I remember correctly, I saw it on shelves about march to may, or june, of 2003. I tried to pick it up around december and looked everywhere, but it was no longer sold on shelves.

I think the game has fairly good long term appeal. This may get better when Elite 4 hits the shelves sometime this year if the rumours are true.

I found about Eve from a gaming site. What did impress me at the time it was the images from the game.
I just couldn't believe my eyes. The images from the game were astonishing. And then i downloaded the new game trailer from video section ---> Eve Never Fades.(BTW -> if u want to convince a friend to play it just show him the trailer).
That hooked me into playing the game. Although i'm a new player i must admit that Eve is one of the greatest games i have ever played.
The community is great, the devs job is sure as hell better than any other game.
This game represents the sum of all the sci-fi ideas that i met in books (i'm mostly a sci-fi reader).
This and the trailer makes for me an impossible dream come true (playing in the vastly known univers among the many stars).

Back in early 90's there is a game called David Braben's Elite 2: Frontier (tough the first one is a cool game in its own mind, Frontier is the "viva la revulution" game imo) . You took the role of a peniless pilot thrown into a universe that you are going to pray for every moment you breathe. Trading (at secure trade lanes like Earth-Bernards Star or tricky ones like Achenar-Facece), finding missing peoples (tough they dont appeal someone with gazillion credits but even the challenge of finding some randomly created guy in the whole universe is just amazin), carrying passengers and live stock (hmm where does that smell came from?), shooting at pirates for collection bounties and ship equipment, running missions for either navies or mafia\syndicate wiseguys, mining at asteroids or planets, bombing starbases and groundbases, taking photos for espionage, exploring the galaxy and of course loading your Panther Clipper with shield rechargers and ramming poor pirates or cops to death...
Well, good times they were. In a remote corner of my mind, i always wondered how it feels like to play Frointier with other people? Do they go out for trading? Run missions for faction advancement and rewards? Do they mine? Or just shoot each other to kingdom come?
Well, in 2003 my questions answered!(too bad that i choose to freeze my account in 2004, bad bad mistake) People run missions, mine, craft or hunt other people, same as Frontier...Is it?
Add the human factor to the game for un ending carnage and "fun". I have been ransomed (never paid and accepted death tough), ambushed, threatened and killed over and over again.
Talk about player interaction? I actually become a prisoner in a 2 way low sec system for hours, until one of my friends saved me by talking the CEO of the pirates!
Talk about brutal real life style social dynamics? People with power, money and numbers seem to dominate everything yet still can lose everything in a blink of an eye. One unlucky bump into wrong guys (like in the undying words of Comissar Yarrick, "give me thousand men enough to conquer hell, i'll conquer hell" kind of guys)), or even worse someone just wants to settle on your system and here we go. People warp in with guns blazing before you can say "omgwtfpwned".
And dont get me started from economics. People with superior technology and resources determine everything. One day you'll wake up a hell of 2000 isk per unit t2 ammo market, who knows what happens next day. Maybe some insane R&D corporation reduces the prices to 200 isk per unit just for fun (and i know that there is many guys can do this without breaking a sweat). There is actual use of an attribute called Charisma. Even at pen and paper games charisma suck, but you can rule a trading empire without even moving from your station with good skills at trading.
About combat matters. There is great diversity and options in both pvp and pve alike. You might say A ship can beat B ship in long range if the B ship is equipped for close combat. But come with another setup and B ship vaporise the A ship in seconds. And in fleet combat everything changes. 15 interceptors can rule skies against BS\BC type fleets until some destroyer and frigate buddies show up. And you have to find that Command Ship boosting others but good luck he might be anywhere on the system. The most innocet looking low sec gate may have 5 cloaked campers\scouts waiting for your arrival etc etc...
Well, if someone can speak about a game that much there is way too much potential in it belive me. Let me put it that way: Beginners Guide to World of Wacraft: Right Click to the monster, spam your attack. Rinse, repeat for 6 months. Now you have every item in the game, good luck wait for the expansion.
Actually i am suprised to hear about lack of US player intrest in this game.So; Guys in CCP: please stop petting reindeers and pull more yankees into the game! Problem solved

I would have to agree with others... I heard about this by word of mouth and now have 3 accounts, have hooked my bro and sis-in-law, and have pulled a fair amount of friends from Guild Wars to try it out (and they all seem to like it as much as me so far!) hehe.... can't see it dying anytime in the forseeable future!
