In EVE's history, the biggest development crises happen when the devs forget about this single question - what is EVE?
Therefore, in this thread - each and every one of us is going to say what EVE is in a single sentence.
I'll start:
EVE is a space simulator of conflict; economic, military and social.

EVE is conflict.
Conflict on a small scale...
Conflict on a large scale...
Conflict with weapons...
Conflict with resources...
Conflict with logistics...
Conflict with the market...
Conflict in exploring...
Conflict of egos...
Conflict with everyone who does or has any of the above.
THAT is EVE.
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 a grand conspiracy between the devs and the nullsec cartels to extort cash from space-nerds to pay for their annual fancy dress midget throwing competition.

Eve Online is a video game by CCP Games. It is a player-driven, persistent-world MMORPG set in a science fiction space setting. Characters pilot customizable ships through a galaxy of over 7,500 star systems. Most star systems are connected to one or more other star systems by means of stargates. The star systems can contain moons, planets, stations, wormholes, asteroid belts and complexes.
Players of Eve Online can participate in a number of in-game professions and activities, including mining, piracy, manufacturing, trading, exploration, and combat (both player versus environment and player versus player). The character advancement system is based upon training skills in real time, even while not logged into the game.[3]
Eve Online was released in North America and Europe in May 2003. It was published from May to December 2003 by Simon & Schuster Interactive, after which CCP purchased the rights and began to self-publish via a digital distribution scheme. On January 22, 2008, it was announced that Eve Online would be distributed via Steam. On March 10, 2009, the game was again made available in boxed form in stores, released by Atari. In February 2013, EVE Online reached over 500,000 subscribers. The current version of Eve Online is Rubicon, released November 19, 2013.
Set more than 21,000 years in the future, the background story of Eve Online explains that humanity, having used up most of Earth's resources through centuries of explosive population growth, began colonizing the rest of the Milky Way. In turn, this expansion also led to competition and fighting over available resources as it did on Earth, but everything changed with the discovery of a natural wormhole leading to an unexplored galaxy named "New Eden". Dozens of colonies were founded, and a structure was built to stabilize the wormhole that bridged the intergalactic colonies with the rest of human civilization, a giant gateway bearing the name "EVE". However, when the natural wormhole unexpectedly collapsed, it destroyed the gate. Cut off from the rest of humanity and supplies from Earth, the colonies of New Eden were left starved and disconnected from one another; some died out entirely. Over the millennia the descendants of the colonists managed to survive and rebuild their own societies, but the memories and knowledge of humanity's origins as well as their own from Earth and the Milky Way became lost. Five major distinct societies rose to prominence from the colonies, each growing into interstellar spaceflight-capable civilizations. The states based around these colonies make up the five major factions in Eve Online: the Amarr Empire, the Caldari State, the Gallente Federation, the Minmatar Republic and the Jove Directorate.

EVE is basically a griefing tool; it's less a sci-fi MMORPG and more like a place to meet gullible targets, a victim-rich environment with a chatbox. |

EVE is:

b) EVE is an experiment in human interaction. A simulacrum fi you will. The premise is: what would humans do if they had access to this technology? So far the logical conclusion we have come to is "blow each-other to kingdom come" "survival of the fittest" and "HTFU"
c) a game
d) the OTHER reality.
