Well, I used to play Earth & Beyond because I've always enjoyed Science Fiction. Limited options, I suppose.
PMS - It's not just for THAT time of the month.

I was looking for something to do after Jumpgate become old. And the EvE beta was pointed out to me by some other HW dudes. The rest as they say, is history.

I heard from a friend that Eve was 'FTW' so to speak, especially graphically. A post in here reminded me, it may well have been a banner in ogame that spurred me to try it when I finally got broadband.
And of course I fell in love with it straight away. Was down home for two weeks to spend christmas with the family, spent the whole time playing Eve

I was outside my home Neriak which is hidden in a dark corner of the Nektulos forest. It was the celebration of my 83rd birthday. A group of young Necromancers and I were attempting to group our mana together to make a giant pyrotechnik display when one of us miscast or so I thought. As soon as the smoke cleared I realized I was no longer in Nektulos forest, I was sitting on the floor of a gigantic cave that was lined in some gold colored metal. After some confustion a kind person informed me that I was no longer on Antonica but now in a space station near the Amarrian homeworld. He sent me to a medical facility to get my skin changed from dark blue to a grey color and had my pointed ears bobbed. He then sent me off to a university to learn how to be a space ship pilot, no more raising the dead and bending them to my will. Now I fly amongst the stars smashing rats and pirates and bending their modules to my will.

...before EVE I was playing Ultima Online since 1998. Then one day saw someone's "goodbye" letter at Stratics UO forums, saying the fellow leaving to EVE online. That time tought what the heck....this is the third "goodbye" letter and each time it's EVE online. So wondered by myself, what if I go and check out a bit about this so called EVE online and what's the reasons behind it.
Well, the rest of the story is that the 7 year UO veteran were kindapped from UO by EVE aliens 
Haven't really regretted leaving UO...EVE Rulez so much

I discovered EVE (on mmorpg.com) right before WoW came out. Played it, loved it, despite being mostly a fantasy geek. Then got sucked in by the WoW behemoth.
I quit the WoW grindfest around Christmas and, after reading a couple space operas, decided to join EVE again and reroll. I'm having lots of fun, and will probably stay for a good while.

I was tired of being held captive on Amarr by those slaving pig dogs. So I opted for pod pilot training and got the surgery done. Now I've learned about the whole universe and things like fedo dung and underage Gallente girls. I've never been happier.
Hmmm, I think I'm gonna turn off the computer for a day or two now. I keep thinking that some show called "American Idol" is supposed to come on the neo com soon. I mean, this is the real world. You have to watch your back and have a good tank.
Where are my pills?

I was working at a hotel in Reykjavik, CCP had some sort of a meeting with investors about 6 months before Eve was launched. They brought a video clip of Eve's graphics and forgot to remove it from the computer. I kinda "stumbled" on it and decided that would be the game for me

a few weeks before i started playing eve i had a chitchat with a buddy regarding computergames (sad part was - it was at a concert   ) ...
well i dreamt of a homeworld style MMO - where you have your fleetcommanders and your combat pilots - big fleets and empires ... and you can crush your enemy by destroying his ships and stuff ... then my buddy told me that there was EVE online - he tested it and didn't like it, but because there are spaceships and stuff he thought i might try the trial ... well ... 6 month later i'm still here 
<3 EVE

I played Earth & Beyond since early beta, that was a fun game...
After EA had moved all the Devs to California, the game began slowing in content and storyline. One day I was reading MMORPG.com and saw an article for EVE beta. I signed up, and was accepted.
My first day in EVE, I spent trying to undock without being killed by station campers, in high sec. Well, 6 times in around 1.5 hours cured me of wanting to try playing any further, so I quit and went back to E&B.
Several months later after EA announced sunset on E&B, I decided to try EVE again. Been here ever since.

Hmm.
I used to play a Browser-based game called Planetarion. When the rumours started floating around that it would become P2P (Pay to Play) i went looking for a different game. EVE. I just floated around the forums for a while, while still playing Planetarion aswell. Then i got my beta invitation. Beta 2, if im correct. Yay for minors signing NDAs.
So yea, i've been with EVE 5 years this summer. Playing slightly shorter though, because it was a pain to get invited into Beta.

I played some back in beta. I'm not sure I ever even left a station; I was just overwhelmed and confused about it.
Recently got a new pc (finally) and was looking for something to play and noticed a "Eve Trail" banner at one of my game sites and they had a thread about Eve. Sounded good so I checked it out.
Loved the training off-line stuff (got so sick of chasing the carrot in Asheron's Call...not playing enough or "right" to keep up with friends).
I think I'm hooked, but the jury is still out. Hopefully I'll be in a Corp soon and I'll give it another 6 weeks or so.

Friend of mine has been playing since the beta days, I used to ridicule him about it :)
Then I read an article about Istvaan Shugatsus little raid and decided that a game where such things are allowed is a game I can enjoy as well. Dislike handholding and PVE-only kind of stuff and where is the fun if it doesn't hurt to die?
I'll be here for the long run.

i started playing about 4 years ago or so. i was looking through a disc from pcgamer and i found this video of eve, so decided to signup for beta as the video reminded me of elite frontier 2 soo much.
Imho that vid is still the best trailer for EVE ever, I'd love if some newer trailers had this kind of narration

I stumbled across the narrated video of the pirate and immediately signed up for the beta, was accepted about a week later and have been here ever since.
I think videos are one of the most effective ways to advertise a game, screenshots just don't do most games justice. That's one of the reasons I like making my own vids, just my way of giving a little something back to the company that's kept me entertained for the last 3.5 years =)

What's EVE?
In all seriousness, a good friend from SWG was like, holy hell, this game rules. So I made the leap the first time, found the game fun but I was having fun with SWG, so I ditched eve and went back to SWG. Just recently, Tim from CAD had a gameday for eve, decided to come back.. New character though, might re-open my old account to use as an alt.

I heard whispers about an MMO called EVE, but since i did'nt have a good enough computor back then. I just shrugged and drooled over the box in the store, waild when i found the website about the game and saw the graphics.
I put it out of my mind until the day a windfall made it possible to get a new puter, i got it and decided to just stay the 14 days.
That was about 2 years ago

I've discovered Eve after reading a review on a site. There, it mentioned that the game has great potential but lacks in publicity (nobody wants a hord of players coming into Eve--> that will just make Eve server crash so now i understand the reasons into slowly growing).
After reading the review i went to see the images and i was astonished as how beautifull the game screen looked. I'm a sci-fi reader like most of the users in Eve. This is the ultimate sci-fi dream. Just imagine when u were viewing Star Trek that u can be Picard with the famous quote: space the final frontier.
And after viewing the images i went and downloaded Eve Never Fades(now that's a cool video). And i got hooked. 4 months and i'm wanting even more. It's addictive as hell.

I went to my first Lan Party ever and the guy who was organising it had EVE running on his PC. I was like...what is that? Is that your desktop? He responded "no...no, here ill give you a trial and you check it out yourself". I fell in love but didnt had money to pay for EVE. So played for 7days (back then there where 7day trial accounts). And later I tried on a new trial, and again
But now I keep on playing ;)

I was wondering, when I started playing Eve I had never heard about it before. My friend had been hooked from the beginning and he send me a trial through the buddy program... and now IÆm hooked! How was it for you guys, why did you start playing Eve?
I'm antisocial IRL and Eve really caters to us malcontents like that.
Oh wait, I'm starting to believe what the carebears say about why I pirate.

I was in a filthy public toilet, and as i was taking a leak i started reading the stuff people had written on the walls, you know, stuff like "call Dan for sex on this number" etc. I noticed someone had carved the words eve online into the wall. At the time i didnt think anything of it. When i got home i was bored and typing random things into google and remembered what i saw in the toilet so i typed eve online into google.
So remember to read things on bathroom walls, it could change your life. |
