The two main reasons for me are the openness and the community. Both are outstanding.
The openness lets you use your imagination a lot more than other mmos and the community is more intelligent than most other gaming communities. In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has angered numerous people for many different reasons and is widely considered as a 'bad move'. |

Because it allows me to interact with others without the restrictions other games put on the players. Because i don't have to grind stuff and can't grind myself to a levelcap or whatever. Because there's so much to explore and see. Because the NPCs aren't really a big part of the game, unlike in other games. Because i can set up traps REAL people may or may not fall into. Because it has a real economy. Because it forced me to think about stuff and learn new things. Because i dislike MMOs and EvE is closer to a simulation. Because people care. (many at least ... and the rest are just casual players, in a wider sense) Because it hurts, unlike any other game. It inherits value.
Because CCP is different. They make mistakes, no doubt about it, but i don't know any other company that gets so close to the community.
Because i can and have made HUNDREDS of nice screenshots from HUNDREDS of POVs. Which, btw, i can all scrap because of the new nebulae and all the new eyecandy. -.- lol
Because i can sell you Elite Drone AI for 150 Million ISK and can buy a PLEX for 400k.
Because unlike any other game out there, whatever i do, i always affect somebody else out there. Just like all of us do in the real world, altough most don't even realize.

I stopped having a valid, logical reason years ago. I guess the honest answer is that it's more difficult to give up on training skills than it is to keep on playing, sad but true. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude. |

I'm terrible at the game that comes with the forum subscription
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Fair Enough :) Well i love the vastness of the game.. how you can choose to do almost anything.. And ive come to know some really good people... pvp is fun sometimes... ive done alot... lived in 0.0 for a long time ... did the mining / moon mining thing for a bit... and ran a couple corps... which usually falls apart... BUT lately i find my self logging in and instantly bored.... I fly around... kill a couple rats.. update my skill training and end up logging off... So im looking for something new... something to re-vitalize the game for me... which leads me to the question i asked...

Because I can blow stuff & earn ISK to do stuff.
Because I can set my own goals and pursue them as I see fit, on my own, not depending on anyone else.
Because it's huge and there's always new things to see or places to got or to be and stuff to do even if i don't give a damm of it.
Because i can play ti for a slong or as short as my time budget allows.
Because all my avatars are pretty women, and i like seeing pretty women. Having created them myself, out of my imagination and skills, makes me feel proud of them each time I get to do a good portrait, find a nice spot at the CQ, and just say: "wow, ain't her beautiful?"
Because each now and then you meet amazing people, and it's easy to not meet the scum.
Bcause CCP is quite unlike other corps in the industry, and interacts with players. And they can really commit to excellence when they want to.
And because i've been playing EVE for three years, almost continously, and have stopped playing other games and worrying about what-is-the-novelty-this-season.
So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no new casual content... no new solo content... no new PvE content...-á
Why should I keep paying to play this game? |

To rule my own space-empire. Unfortunately that part of EVE is broken. The velvet rope on the space-empire club keeps everyone not on Grayscale's friends list firmly out. So right now... I don't. I play forums, I log in to check skills, do any chores if my corp has some for me to do, run some incursions, pop in to answer some questions in help chat, and wait for a day when EVE is for EVErybody. If summer doesn't open it up, I'm probably out for good. |

Player generated content is a larger part of Eve than any MMO I have seen. Ever. Look beating an AI or even a really good GM when he is vastly outnumbered by the players is easy. Playing against an environment formed by thousands of other people who each have goals different than yours is fun. When I was young and the earth was flat and we had this thing called Punk Rock you used to have to game without a computer. And most of them were plot tunnels where you just followed the per-ordained path. And occasionally you would be able to get one that was a little different. Not 'here's the plot follow the script' But rather 'here's the world, **** will happen, you will react and things will change accordingly.' When it is good that is how Eve works. |

I play EVE to escape the crushing torment of my life which is without prospects or hope.
Whenever i am not playing i feel this basement closing in on me.
People tell me that i would be perfect for nullsec and a lot of the major alliances are trying to sign me up. |
