Many EVE players might or might not know this but...
THIS IDEA IS EVE!
EVE online is the first and only MMO IÆll ever play because EVE has since the beginning strived to be a real MMO. This isnÆt a retarded time and money sink like WoW, the creators of EVE-online made this game with the original intention of it being something truly massive and in depth. CCP really is one of the few companies that is making a game for the sake of making a good game (once again WoW is an example of the opposite, its all for the $$$). Building ships, outposts, planets, empires etc. It was all in the dreams and hopes of the developers that made this game (like all good jobs, the money CCP is making is just a result of doing what you like and doing it right!).
When you play and pay for this game you need to realize that youÆre not just doing it for the ships, youÆre doing it for the digital world that your avatar lives in! This is what a true MMO should be, a full representation of another world with its own rules, history, and heroes.
DonÆt be surprised if they do add in combat at every level (from station to planetary assaults), the point is this game will grow with time and in ways that other MMOÆs never attempt to.
The very logic of playing a RPG of any kind is that you act out a character that you always wanted to act out. Any tools to help this acting are only beneficial to the games atmosphere and overall purpose. You know when a game has succeeded at this task when one player can shape is own reputation perfectly by his actions.
When I look at eve I see social environments that simulate this so effectively that itÆs almost scary! Some players are actually afraid of entering low security space, and corporations and alliances form with reputations that scare the crap out of inexperienced combat pilots. Players angrily boycott and hate the mega corporations that try and supply them with Tech 2 goods (rofl and then they go on forms complaining about it, as if paying and playing the game means that everyone should be able to afford a HAC). Bah! but I could go on about this for ages.
To put it simplyà
Welcome to EVE-online the only true MMO on the market.
