Over recent months I have heard it desribed as:
'The best MMO ever...' 'An interactive screensaver' 'Somewhere to vent one's RL frustrations...'
Well, after having an interest in the game for several months I have decided to finally 'take the plunge' and find out for myself... It could be fun!
So, 'Cash Flow For Capsuleers (1 of 10)'... Here I go! All this clone/gene technology... Why am I still ginger!? |

It's the game where you either quit after one week , preferably after writing a rage post about losing your drake to ewil piwates. Or you become so addicted to it that you will play it for years , try to stop , come back anyway because nothing else give you that Eve experience , rinse & repeat. Bad posts are not welcome on these forums.-á -CCP Falcon

Pretty much this. I get a little fed up of Eve fairly frequently and go in search of another game to fill the void. But there is no other game that will fill the void left by Eve. |

You'll love it, you'll hate it, you'll hate the devs, you'll love the devs, you'll rage quit, then come back! You'll be swept up in excitement, you'll want to gouge your eyes out of your skull from the tedium or boredom.

In my experience Eve is where highly educated people go to accomplish something "real" in their lives. Which I find very funny. Being a game and all. |

Eve is a game where you lose stuff to bugs and never get it back.
Sometimes lag will allow you to overcome a bug and keep your stuff, but not very often. LTCOL LeBlade 177 Division Live Free or Die |

"At best, EVE is like speeding around in a stolen Pinto... vintage cannonball cannon ducttaped to the roof... your arm around the shoulders of a dead hooker... and 20 guys armed with frying pans chasing you down on vespas. At worst... it's EXCEL spreadsheets in space." ~ Unknown Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

EVE IS:
...Spreadsheets Online
...Full of backstabbing sociopaths
...A boring market simulator
...The best PvP game ever
...Skillpoints online
...Wallets online
...Pay to win
...The only game that has gotten RMT right so far
...Dying
...Growing constantly
...Nothing but empire carebears fueling nullbear wars
...A game where you can make your own way and do as you will in the most extensive sandbox universe around
...All of the above
...None of the above
...What you make of it
...Too hard
...Too easy
...Too slow
...Too fast
...etc. etc. etc.

"In EVE you, the new player, are an adorable golden haired child. You are released, alone but with a map, into a large wilderness park teeming with tens of thousands of rapacious pedophiles.

EVE online. I ******* hate this game so ******* much.
Which is why I love it.

Well, I am quite enjoying it at the moment; due to time constraints though I think it will take me a couple of weeks to work through the Career Agents and finally step into 'the big, wide world'...
But I suppose that as my skills are always steadily improving that I will then be in a better position than if I just rushed through them in a day... All this clone/gene technology... Why am I still ginger!? |

Experiment: Go onto any other games forums with a similar thread and compare the responses to this one.
Actually no I can already tell you the outcome of said experiment, you'll get a whole bunch of positive feedback about how great INSERT_NAME is and people will generally tell you to have fun. Comparing to this threads we have pedophiles chasing you down and 'piwates' to watch out for.
Conclusion: Eve is different, let's leave it at that. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you'll miss the point and spend months blinging out a mission running ship only to get ganked and then ragequit. |

To answer your question: Sins everyone here is talking around your question.
Your question "What is EVE?"
Eve
1. name of the first woman: wife of Adam and progenitor of the human race. Gen. 3:20.
2. a female given name: from a hebrew word meaning GÇ£life.GÇ¥

Pan the camera out far enough, and it's just pixels swarming around other pixels in a way that begins to take on some sort of wild, psychadelic pattern predicted by some mathematicians who may or may not have gone to Berkeley in the 60's.

Here's another gem from Fanfest 2013 (paraphrased of course)...
"We try to make EVE gameplay interesting. Like... if you stick a person in closet alone and watch them, it's not very interesting. If you stick two people together in a closet and watch them, interesting things happen." ~ CCP Soundwave Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good.
