You know people always hear about eve or games in interesting ways.
So i thought i would start a thread and see where it goes!
So how did i hear about eve?
Actually When Command and Conquer: Renegade Came out i started playing online and meeting people, one person (Can't remember name now) well weither it was true of not said he helped beta test/program Renegade, and then told me what his Current project was, and gave me the Link to eve-online, (this was during early beta) so i basicly read everything on the site inside out until i got accepted to beta. Those my eve life begain.
Took a break when retail came out. but got a 14 day come back offer and have not stopped playing since.
if any dev was that person who gave me the link to eve-online.com in gamespy Thank you :)
Now how did you hear about eve?

Gamespot with its 14 days trial banner. I found the image in the barner to be quite pretty and looked in the site.

Saw an advert on a website about a year ago (think it was Gamershell). I`ve played with the trial for some time then, but quit because it kinda felt like an offline game - never seeing other players orso. I`ve really started playing EVE back in oktober when some of my guildmates from other MMO`s started playing EVE :)

a couple of my friends (clan) that I played Battlefield 2 with were testing out the trial and I decided to do the same. The rest of my last month is history.

Sort of a long journey for me. I used to play both BattleField: Forgotten Hope and BF2 on the WOLF servers. From there I heard about NavyField which was still in its beta at the time. After a while of that, someone recommended Anarchy Online and from there I found EVE Online.

Way back I had just found out how big MMOs were becoming, and started looking for a space based game. The first interesting thing I came across was for a game called Freelancer (yes, at conception, it was supposed to be an MMO). Browsed the forums at Lancer's Reactor and saw a post comparing the Freelancer concept to a newer game called EVE. Visited the web site, took in the beautiful concept art and story, and it immediately got me. The feeling that EVE had just seemed so much more intriguing than what Freelancer was trying to pull off. Later, FL was exposed as not being an MMO and I joined the EVE community. I tried signing up for beta many times, only getting accepted in the last batch. Waited a little after release to officially subscribe, but I've be with it ever since.

Actally I where playing the game Planetside, and after a while I went bored of it, this was back in january 2004.
So A friend of mine who where playing planetside as well came visiting me at my job to chat abit and was always talking about this great new game he was playing (btw same friend who got me hooked on Planetside to begin with).
So he was telling me on how they had miningoperations with armed guards and ****... did actually sound very cool.
So I deside to try it in late february of 2004 and have been playing ever since!!!!
Infact ... got 2 accounts, and have later recruited several friends in this game and most of us are now in same corp even (one I and 2 other created a long time ago).

started with a trial from my friend long back (think 2003-4, cant really tell X_x), requested no less than 4 more from him (at the time, getting money TO CCP from my side was tough, even though I had the money. Call it "banking insecurity"), then after a visit to my sis in the US, I finally got the money to CCP for a real account last month.
Now :D I'm here

I have been playing JumpGate (Europe) and a friend asked me if I heard about that other space mmorpg and If I wanted to come to test it while it is still in the beta.

I visit another forum frequently, called the GTF. Originally the official forums for Unreal Tournament, a first person shooter, it has since left that community after a bunch of administration issues. We formed our own community and it's become more than just Unreal Tournament or video games in general, but a community of all topics, but mostly it's a bunch of gamers. One of them posted a link to the beta and I happened to see it. Got in the beta, and couldn't afford the monthly fee when I was 15 (can't get a job at that age. :( ) Activated my account 3 years later and here I am.

Used to play Freelancer in 2002/03
Thought it was good but wanted more depth and immersion.
Asked around and some people were on a Beta test for something called 'EVE'.
Found I was too late to get on, but got the game the first day it came out in the UK.
Bye bye life.

I heard about it on a Dark Age of Camelot forum. ..I can't even remember which. It was a quite a bit of time after Mythic released the Everquest.. That is, the Trials of Atlantis expansion.
Having had recently gotten off a pretty bad Freelancer kick, I naturally had to do the trial bit. Cancelled my DAoC account two days later.

Walked around in a gameshop in my hometown around july 2003. And then I saw a game called eve. Tought the backside looked cool and bought it. Then when I was finished installing I saw I had to pay money to actually get to play the game ( I had no idea what a mmorpg was ). Asked my fathers creditcard and started playing eve.
Now almost 3 years later I have 2 acounts and my dad is also playing with another 2 acounts  .

My friend kept telling me about EVE and how amazing it was, but I remained skeptical because I thought-nay KNEW that World of Warcraft was the top MMORPG there is, and how could anything beat WoW?
Well, after he talked one of my other friends into playing it, so I decided to try out the 14 day trial he sent me.
I was shocked. Utterly shocked at the sheer freedom I've been bestowed upon. As if someone had cut apart my chains, spread out their arms and proclaimed; "YOU ARE FREE!".
It's now three months since I quit WoW for EVE, and the only regret I have, was not starting EVE earlier when I had the chance.

I was playing AC and Daoc from the same place where a friend was playing Eve. I looked at it and was like "neah, mmorpg in space? are you kidding me?"
The he went to the seaside and asked me to sell battleships bpcs for him while he's away. Now that was a change  , when he came back I started my own accounts and my path (been a big fan of Elite/Detroit/Capitalism/Transport Tycoon etc.) and here I am today, the ebil capitalist

My brother was looking for a new game and an EVE trial code was included in a gamers magazine he had bought. He installed it and 20 minutes later I was playing too...Thats more than two years ago now.

I was once invited to a certain field trip to CCP, back when the Trinity graphic engine was a newborne (perhaps one of the first Hellmar presentations for CCP ever), as a part of the CS deparment of the University of Iceland.
Most of us didn't think they could pull this off. Then they did.

Disgruntled Everquest player here. Heard about it through a buddy who posted on the monkly-business forums. Sometime after 'The Great Monk Nerf' I picked up Eve to give it a shot been playing ever since.
I actually kept my all access SOE account for a long time after though (up until about a month or 2 ago). Had quit my monk after the big nerf restarted in everquest as a cleric (my guild at the time was short on them and I was sick of not being wanted for pickup groups) and still played off and on but then my guild broke up and merged into another one and some folks I use to play with in EQ quit (some moved to WoW though but it was just a bummer I had been playing with those folks for almost 5 years and only really stuck with EQ because my guild was fun to play with not really so much the game).
Not even going to get into the mess that they made of Planetside and SWG. Its almost as if they were trying to drive players away. Every time I turned around there was some huge mess up/nerf/change...
But you know what? In my 2 years with Eve Online I haven't seen one big change/nerf/mess up that really made me want to quit. Of the few nerfs I have seen they all made sense and worked out in the end. Missiles? I dig the new ones VS the old ones now. The only thing I can really complain about is server stability and that is getting better all the time.
Three cheers for CCP making an awesome game and making it better all the time.

Back in South Africa, a couple guys I knew on IRC used to play EvE, I didn't even bother checking it out due to the fact that I didn't have a internet connection at home.
When I got to the UK, I didn't have a PC for ages and I was itching to play any games (3 months). The guy I was staying with had a spare laptop, it was nothing special. I saw EVE on the Sci-Fi channel, remembered about it, check it out and the rest is history.
