Every item is what it is! No decay crap or bonus shi*. If I loot a good ECM scanner it is just that! Everyone that owns one has the same advantage. It comes down to skill. Don't get me wrong I play on the prairie but someday I will take a Condor(makke sure clone is in order) w/ MWD and fly like a gnat from hell. It doesn't take skill to have fun, small ****s are hard to hit, kinda like swatting a fly.
Great game.

Yeah, that is one reason frigates are still flown by alot of people. They are simply more fun than slow, heavy ships.
And try the minmatar stabber if you want a fast cruiser.

Hmmmm... What makes this game better than Star wars Galaxies?
Well, for starters, there aren't any %$#@ Star Wars characters in it.

Reasons EVE > Other MMO's:
1. No running around with "2-Handed sword of Newbiness"
2. No waiting 4 Months so you can buy a DAMN horse!
3. No Grinding (Yippee! )
4. Several noobs working together actually STAND a chance against a vet.
5. "Crafting" Doesn't consist of hovering over a pretty crystal or pounding on an anvel for several hours to produce a single chestplate multiple times (Refer to Reason #3)
6. OMGRAWR and Warp Drive Active 
Anyone else wanna add to the list?

Yeah, I'm still in my first month as well. I played SWG when it first launched and the game, even buggy as it was, was a lot of fun. The SWG people are playing now doesn't even compare to the original game. Eve is much more fun with much more things to do.
I learn something new about this game each time I log on.

I've met enough 12 year olds in game. They account for alot of my pirate kills =] They don't have the smarts to realise that flying their sparkly new cruiser or indy into my territory is bad karma.
Out in deep space, pretty much everyone seems to be relatively mature though (smack talk aside, people act differently on local to how they do on vent). You've got to be able to accept the losses without clicking the little biomass button.

he does not try to do evryting alone he does co-op with me. and he does not ban me from chanels/teamspeak all the time.
its not the age, its the people themselve and the game itselve that creates community.
in this game ur most time alone, corporations dont work (atleast the last 20 i joined have all disbanded after a few weeks) nobody shows up for corporate mining ops and ratting u have to do all alone.

That's because all of them are negative and none of them is argumented.
There's a word for those posts even, you've probably heard it a few times now.
Tbh, I'd say it's the empowerment that does it. Every somewhat normal kid prefers a sandbox over a teletubby dvd in the long run.

To be honest,
This game rules simply because everything you do has consequences. A nub minds a bit of veldspar and sells the trit, the trit is bought by an industrial player who uses it to build a battleship, the battleship is bought by a pvp player, the pvp player kills another battleship in it, the result being two Alliances go to war with eachother and the entire political landscape of the game is changed.
Thats why the game is great. Anybody, new or old, can have an impact on some level on the game. New players form the backbone of new corporations that rise to power. Old players, especially those leading the Alliances, can litterally shift the entire course of the game based on what descisons they make. There hasn't been a single game ever that has accomplished this like EVE. Other games have made the attempt, and succedded on a small scale, but nothing like the masterpeice CCP has made.
I love this game, have been playing since beta, formed one of the founding corporations of the FA. I've mined, built, flown, blown up, and traveled all over EVE, and it's only gotten better.
PS: That said, if i could get a t2 BPO from the devs i'd be verrry happy

I play both this and WoW.
I like WoW for some things and this because it has NOTHING in common with WoW. That's what makes it good. It's like the only original MMO that exists. That and no grind which is good.
The best thing is the atmosphere, Eve has a sense of scale and skill based PvP.
Infact i even play City of Villains from time to time too...

The simple fact is that this is the only space mmorpg on the market. Earth and Beyond was the 2nd one and was better than Eve at it's launch but killed by EA. If EnB was still alive, I would've gone playing it instead. So there is really no other game currently alive to compare with Eve. The other mmorpgs are not space based, it gets real boring to cast spells/wielding swords in every single one of them.

No grinding and Mature Community are two big ones for sure, however the most important has got to be 0.0 space. I can not think of another game that gives such a large portion of the game world to players and says "Do with it what you will". While the politics are certainly frustrating at times, the hugely dynamic player run alliance wars are extremely fun and are far more content then any dev team could write, design and program into the game.
Name any other game with the intense pvp of eve? SWG? HA. the GCW was the biggest farce ever. Not only did you never even see people using empiral or rebel gear, but you NEVER made any progress. You could raid a town and blow up a few npc guards but did that take the town out? nope. WoW? same crap as SWG. You can run WSG 8 billion times and win 8 billion times but you will never own WSG. You will never kill off all the NEs in WoW cause you cant capture their territory.
Now, some would argue that EVE is the same way in empire space. However those that have played for over 3 years should know that the real game of eve is played out in 0.0 and hopefully, Factional warfare will bring the dynamic pvp action of 0.0 into empire space.

Simple difference is the devs actually give a toss about their game and don't see it as a means of milking as much cash as possible before letting it die.
They also have full control (no publisher interference etc), that's gotta give them alot more freedom as well.

Well from my perspective as a refugee from successive Nerf Wars Galaxies editions, there are several things that Eve and CCP does better then SOE. The main difference I have seen and appreciate the most is communication. I do enjoy seeing people complain here about how horrible and that its non-existent blah blah blah. Makes me giggle. You all have no clue, in SWG we called it one of two things the mushroom treatment (stuck in a dark whole and spoonfed s**t) or BOHICA (bend over here it comes again). Everything got nerfed at least 3 times in my 12 months in SWG, most without any noticifcation or reason. Customer serveice was TRULY non-existent, I can think of a favorite story of a csr saying that if you have a 'visibility'(in game mechanic) problem you should check your video card. That is if you ever received a response. The forums there were rife with rumors because there was not any real information from the people running the show. Just people Flaming relentlessly. (Actually, recently i'm starting to see some of the same name variations show up here starting their same idiocy, beware Eve some of SWG's forum morons migrated here too). The devs/team encouraged this to draw attention away from their lack of professionalism and abilities.
CCP does not take itself to seriously, that is a great thing. They seem to realize that Eve is a game and I personally think they see themselves as having one of the best occupations on the earth. That confidence and enjoyment of work filters down and you can feel it everywhere in game and on the forums. Sure there are problems, where on this planet aren't there? When we had the 'extended' down time a few weeks ago my corpmates and I were on vent discussing how forgiving we are to CCP compared to our out right hatred of SOE when Mr. Murphy would show up there. The main difference was that CCP has a face, a friendly one. One we have all come to know and like. We also all knew instinctively that we would get an explanation of some sort and an in depth one (not that all of us are tech geeks, but those that are appreciate it). Well that's my 2 cents.

I think there are several things that stand out about this game versus other MORPGs.
1. NO GRINDING!!! Grinding is dumb. I don't have a problem with it in single player games, but it creates sleepless zombies instead of enjoyable gameplay in MOGs.
2. One shard (I've heard people complaining about the China thing - don't start that here please). Its nice to have everyone in the same game, because economic models work more realistically the more people are included in them.
3. Variety. I played SWG for about a year. I have to tell you, that game got boring A LOT! You spent your time grinding, which is repetition of the same thing over and over again (see point 1 - NO GRINDING!!!), which is pretty boring. The time spent on Eve is spent exploring and doing the fun stuff (missions, trading, complexes, ect...). Its about the ability to do something different every day. Its too much like a job to think "I have to get my 3 hours of grinding in today or I'll fall behind!" I don't need another job, and I sure don't want to have to pay a monthly fee for another job!
4. Balance. Making the small ships be hard to hit by the big ships is probably the second most brilliant thing CCP did (first being getting rid of the grinding - I'm starting to grind that point). There is nothing more frustrating to a new player than getting killed by a older player randomly, because he had nothing better to do and you happened to be there. Plus, the other side of it is that old players continue to enjoy the game, simply because no matter how tough they get, they are still vulnerable. That chance that you will die at any moment is part of what makes a game fun.
5. Natural Selection. Dumb players die. You talk smack or annoy people, you die. You fly into 0 sec space in a noobie ship, you die. Rules and order are needed in a game (and are lacking in most MORPGs).
6. Player cooperation. This is huge. And it is directly related to balance. This game is better than the others because players have to coordinate with each other to make it. The more coordination, the better off everyone is. Why play a massive multiplayer if you're just gonna run around and solo everything? There is a reason squads and fleets are used in real life. It adds a little complexity, a little more realism, and a lot more fun to this game.

Actually, the crafting system was one of the best things about SWG, IMHO. By using higher-quality materials, you'd make a higher-quality item.
However, it also adds a lot of space to the database. On the server end, you have to store the where a given item is located and all its stats. Eve just has to store where the item is. That's one reason why SWG had limits on how many items you could carry around and store in various locations. Even so, SOE still had to purge the database of old junk on a fairly regular basis.
Though cost-per-gigabyte of storage space is generally coming down, remember that Eve uses RAMSAN solid-state disks, which come with a much higher cost-per-gig.

Star Wars Galaxies was one of the best games out there for some time, but since Sony decided to make it "WOW in space" it has plummeted to a point that you would have to pay me to play it and even then I'm not sure the money would be worth it. SWG in its current state is hands down the worst online game in existance.

What Bagehi said, in a huge way.
No XP. No Levels. You wanna solo? Solo. Wanna team it? Do that too. Craft your pants off. You can go mine or rat to gather some resources for ten minutes a day if you want to.
Always some manner of progression and reward, and you can get pounded hard if you make yourself too annoying. There is an ebb and flow.

NO ALPHA CLASSES
i know some woudl tend to argue but most agree eve is very well balanced vs other mmo's
by alpha class i mean a class type that is far supirior to every other class at what they do
swg was great until jedi were introduced and it turned into kotor online

Cause SOE are are a bunch of tards and the devs don't even play their own game. They admittedly play WoW and battlefield 2.
CCP on the other hand are all players and are passionate about the game as well as having the best communication with their community of any mmo.

Not once in this game, when joining a gang, have I been asked "R U HEAL0R?"
That just about did it for me :D

Without risk, the reward is meaningless.
CCP had the guts to go against the conventional wisdom in the industry that says players won't put up with non-consensual PvP with meaningful/painful setbacks because "losing stuff ain't fun". Result of ignoring the conventional wisdom? +100k accounts and growing.

LOL!
EVE ftw. The DEVs actually care. They talk to the players and listen. They post on the forums. They even play the game (and sometimes give a good spanking with their uberl33t pre-release ships of doom as jokes  ).
This is why EVE is awesome.

As annoying as it can be, pirates keep the economy vibrant and alive and keep inflation down. Somewhat.

1) Low grind.
- There's still some, namely money. For most anyway.
2) The dev team.
- Bunch of wacky icelanders who one day decide they'll make an online game. And pull it off too. Sound like they really care about it.
3) 0.0 Space
- What players do really matters. The rules are...whomever has the guns makes the rules. The everchanging 0.0 political map says it all really.
4) Balance
- Someone's always on a personal crusade about something, but on the whole it's pretty good. No I-Win buttons (except the Raven ofc ).
5) The People
- Out in deeper 0.0 most people seem pleasant enough at least. Sort of self-selection of team players for the most part.

No cites in the middle of supposed wastelands.

No having to utterly surround a single battledroid and gang-hit it with ten lightsabers for fourty seconds! (yes, these were the "good old days" everyone wants back in SWG, no less)
Yes, we "stab rats" but at least the "rats" we stab are pirates. And we stab 'em in Stabber-class cruisers.
Dunno, something just feels better about giving someone a broadside of high-tech cannons over six metrosexual elves surrounding a zombie frog and hacking it to death for it's magic bracelets.

Why EVE is greater than all other MMORPGS:
You don't have to dedicate your lives to become l33t or meet your goals. No uber guilds with DKP systems, waiting lines, seniority, etc.
A real player driven economy.
You don't ahve to buy a new ship and fittings every few hours of game play to keep up.

ships arent as horribly unbalanced, the a-wing owned every other ship. at least back when I quit. You could fit in the most powerful weapons, powerful weapon RoF upgrades and the best afterburners with fitting space and stats that was way better than any other of the factions "light" fighters.
you could kill the biggest ships in a hit or two while shooting faster than they ever could, not to mention moving at speeds and having enough agility that made their no armor negligable, you'd need bullet time to shoot these fighters or at least have them beaded at max range and hope they fly into your shots (which any competant player knew better to do, especially since the fights were over in a second anyways).
case in point: I was in the toughest one manned bomber ship the game had, huge shields and armor. I warp into what was JTL's 0.0 space equiv, one second later I'm dead. An a-wing moving at the speed of light had destroyed me in a single hit. that was not fun at all, at least with the rebels as my enemies, although I guess god mode would be fun for the rebels.
