B0rn2KiLL DEATHFUNK	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:02:00 - [1] Edited by: B0rn2KiLL on 05/03/2007 19:59:20 i think a topic that doesnt bash CCP or\and BOB, or whine (about... well, anything :P) is in order. So without further adieu, Why do you you love eve? :) I love eve because it distracts the hell out of me, curves my ADD down (though i still get that jumping into highsec with my BS and -9 status thing everynow and then..) and ive met some awesome people ingame. plus the graphics are cool :P put your tinsfoil hats down for a bit n share people (devs too) --- new sig, Hijack it and ill eat u. *Imaran hands B0rn2KiLL a fork - Come get some!11
Ealiom Blackhole Entry Point	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:08:00 - [2] I love EVE cause its freeform do what the hell you like, and there is nothing else like it in the market. Executioner Model Blackbird Model
zwerg Caldari OctoberSnow Corp	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:10:00 - [3] "lo0k mommy! , im in the first cool thread today" uhm why i like eve? because im ginger alt and uber! nah serious: because of the pops
Brutor Shaun Minmatar Freelancers UK Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:12:00 - [4] I don't love Eve. The voices in my head tell me that if I stop playing then the kittens will die. My skills
Vampyr3sssssssssssssssss	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:23:00 - [5] Griefing newbies.
Renegade316 Gallente Gallente Federal Bank Ratel Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:28:00 - [6] Edited by: Renegade316 on 05/03/2007 20:24:30 cause i have been having fun since 2003 and still going like the ratel vs frege battle a few days ago omg that was amazing :) hope to have more battles like that :)
Shameless Avenger	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:28:00 - [7] To quote my wife: "At this point, I'm not sure if it's really love for the game or more of an addiction." :(
Jacob Castillo Caldari Copperhead Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:33:00 - [8] I have no clue why I love EVE. I just feel the need to log on everyday, even if I do absolutely nothing and log off a minute later. It's probably the people I play with though. Playing solo isn't as fun as it is to play with a friend, imo.
Mesacc Gallente	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:35:00 - [9] Because currently its the best game running where I can get my Sci-fi fix and fly spaceships! Plus it has really cool explosions!
Anatolius Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:36:00 - [10] EVE does things that the other MMOGs won't do for me. "If God be for us, whom can be against us?"

Revan Neferis Amarr Bloodveil The Sani Sabik	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:38:00 - [11] Absolutely, the people. The role play and the drama.. ahhh all the drama! Anti-Stress!
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:38:00 - [12] Because it is a deep multi-faceted game, where the various tasks I complete are interesting due to the complexity of their individual aspects game and the overall experiences and accomplishments those tasks build into are satisfying and fun due to the freedom the game offers. -------------------- Verone for President of EVE
Cailais Amarr Domus Fatalis X-PACT	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:40:00 - [13] I love the Eve forums for its witty banty, the incisive cut and thrust of debate and logical, balanced arguments, the amalgamtion of bright ideas all collected in one easy to search resource. And the sigs, I like those too! What's this Eve 'game' everyones on about? C. www.sefrim.com - sig design - eve mail for details
Nir The Doldrums	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:53:00 - [14] Simply put, EVE is the only MMORPG on the market today worth playing.
Jesters Knight Eclipse Enterprises Empire Research	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:56:00 - [15] I like the open ended ness of the game and the fact that the game itself doesnÆt coddle you. I was telling some friends about the recent mega battles between BOB and well, everyone else it seems, and they were saying that stuff like that doesnÆt happen in the MMOÆs they play. I like the fact that if you can social engineer your way into a corp/alliance as a spy the game doesnÆt make that impossible (or just extremely difficult) Yay for no coddling!! (I need a hugà) Ingame website to help management (+)+(*^) = ^+

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2007.03.05 20:58:00 - [16] Veldspar Help me help you .

Gone'Postal Minmatar LuthorCorp Combat Division	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:02:00 - [17] Reason: I'm free to do what I like, 3 years and still no drone fix.. It's a nice running joke. -------------------------------------------- Welcome to the best slideshow on Earth!
Valkazm Amarr ECP Rogues Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:03:00 - [18] Edited by: Valkazm on 05/03/2007 21:03:22 I love the fact that its playrun no other mmo out there like that one person behind a computer tells thousands of others to go to war and they do .. its inspiring and the losses are real .. they dont just run back into the battle for hours untill they turn of and go to bed .. they run into battle untill they have no ship left to use .. And it makes you feel like your character even though your not rolelaying has been through alot i remember the first times i minned and i remember certain alliances the battle of X were so and such misstakes were made .. my first fleet battle etc .. it feels like you grow togheter with your character after all he has experianced .. and continues to get better constantly .. edit starts here ... Also its so much like RL politics the puppet alliances instaling your own alliance in the new conqured region .. spies betrayel .. And even how small conflicts escelate to include more and more and the fact that people actually despice some alliances or people for defeats or past things they were exposed to .. Step into the darkness
Pang Grohl Gallente	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:04:00 - [19] Because the challenge in EVE is still strong 1+ year in. To me EVE seems to be a game that isn't focused on progress for the sake of progress. Everything has a reason for doing or not doing. Si non adjuvas, noces (If you're not helping, you're hurting)
Rudy Metallo Minmatar G.H.O.S.T	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:05:00 - [20] The pvp system and complexity. You dont need to have maxed skills to get a decent kill.

Vladimir Ilych Gradient	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:15:00 - [21] Because you can do what you want.
ThaMa Gebir Gallente Raddick Explorations	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:17:00 - [22] Originally by: Ealiom I love EVE cause its freeform do what the hell you like, and there is nothing else like it in the market. QFT! To add my 2cts, I like the way that politics play a REAL part to the game and the respective alliances, not to mention the comminity. It is freaking awesome and so damn complex, I have been playing a while now (nearly 2 years) and I still don't know everything there is to know about it yet. I am sure you will be hard pressed to find someone that does. All in all it is not a game any more, rather a simulator, just how you act has no bearing on rl (or perhaps it does, who knows ) and the only big effect you can have on rl is the fact you took that guys time and threw it all away, for no real reason, but also little consequences (or perhaps a ton of consequences) that's the complexity it has. Intense. Lets see if my sig can survive this round of *****ing Funny, i'm still here - Petwraith There will be no survivors now that i'm around - Xorus pwnt - Immy!!!11
Asael Caldari Nathlin Enterprises Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:18:00 - [23] Why i love eve? Simple, its the stars. ______________________________ Nathlin Enterprises Inc. CEO -Everto es hic servo Mihi
Artur Gaggleon Gallente Nova Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:25:00 - [24] This is my dream game, a single, huge, persistent universe where players from around the world are absolutely free to trade, mine, and fight with and against each other. The result is the closest thing games have yet gotten to creating a fun, accessible but also complex and often realistic, fantastic society.
amarrly	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:47:00 - [25] I love eve because one day, one day in the distant future just over that yonder hill past that minmitar brothel, over that bridge with all the little caldari trolls, and round the corner of that ugly Dominix, Amarr will be great again.......
Lord Saradomin Gallente New Justice Technologies	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:53:00 - [26] i like how i can log in and learn something new everyday and i can randomly decide i want to change profession without having to give a months notice... ****************************************** In the beginning the Universe was created, This made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.
Nero Scuro Caldari Jejaikaro Corporation	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:54:00 - [27] There's nothing else better. EVE is far far faaaaaaar from perfect but it's still better than WoW. ___ Nice one CCP
Crydawner	Posted - 2007.03.05 21:58:00 - [28] Originally by: Nero Scuro There's nothing else better. EVE is far far faaaaaaar from perfect but it's still better than WoW. why do people compare eve to wow all the time? it's too easy. even my foot compares to wow. Compare it to guild wars, another highly pvp centred mmo-type game. eve is substantially different to both however, 'tis why i like it so.

Jex Jast Go for the booty	Posted - 2007.03.05 22:06:00 - [30] Originally by: B0rn2KiLL Edited by: B0rn2KiLL on 05/03/2007 19:59:20So without further adieu, Why do you you love eve? :) That's "ado"..."adieu" is from French, meaning goodbye for a long time. Anyway... I love Eve because I can *** the forums and blow people up. ============= Gate Camp: Originally by:** Marcus TheMartin Think of it like fishing with a machine gun while in a tent full of people that won't shut up on ts

Mr Grump	Posted - 2007.03.05 22:06:00 - [31] Although I have only just found EvE I am already in love with it. The freeform nature of the game reminds me of the old days when I used to play Elite. Looking forward to seeing just what this game has to offer.

Compare it to guild wars, another highly pvp centred mmo-type game. eve is substantially different to both however, 'tis why i like it so. Because WoW combines being both the biggest and highest suckage ratio in any one MMO. It's just an easy target. Guild wars had far better PvP than EVE though yeah. Shame it was all contained in stupid arenas, there was no death penalty and no real reason to fight (nothing to defend/attack). If I wanted that kind of gameplay I'd play a FPS. ___ Nice one CCP
Jack Target	Posted - 2007.03.05 22:23:00 - [33] Best thing about Eve? Errr... well... bashing CCP, BOB, and generally having a whine, because in the words of Eminem:- Now this looks like a job for me So everybody just follow me 'Cos we need a little controversy 'Cos it feels so empty without me Now this looks like a job for me So everybody just follow me 'Cos we need a little controversy 'Cos it feels so empty without me (By the way, I'm joking!)

If I wanted that kind of gameplay I'd play a FPS. aye, the only thing to prove in guildwars is your skill, but it get's boring after like...thousands of hours of fighting! and as you say FPS's give that 'rush' when you frag someone, hence why i'm here playing eve (i also play fear combat, it's free :D), but i've nothing but respect for NCsoft and what they did with guildwars and their committed, revolutionary, approach to the casual gamer and player skill over time played/wealth. and no subscription fee's? zero lag? foams I played wow and thought it was a complete 'carebare' ridden joke, it's an excuse for subscription fee's and virtual accumulation of status/wealth, nothing more. And the PvP servers? good god..lol. anyhow, eve is shaping up to be good, i can't wait to join a corp and taste this games pvp.

I wasn't bashing Guildwars or anything. For a near-free MMO it's excellent. It dragged me away from EVE for a while, but... with nothing to achieve but a higher place on a meaningless ladder, what's the point? And a rundown of why WoW sucks ass wasn't necessary, succinct though it was. It's almost innate or instinctual among the PvPers here to hate WoW with every fiber of our being. I might be jaded to EVE having played it for a while but you've still got everything to experience yet. I kinda envy the new players in that respect. I want the adrenaline rush of PvP back. ___ Nice one CCP

Stitcher Caldari J.I.T. Enterprises Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.05 23:06:00 - [40] Originally by: Nero Scuro I want the adrenaline rush of PvP back. Start flying ships in PvP that you can't afford to replace easily if they go down. Brings the adrenaline rush right back. ***

Start flying ships in PvP that you can't afford to replace easily if they go down. Brings the adrenaline rush right back. I don't have any ISK. I am flying ships I probably can't afford to lose, because they take a sizeable chunk out of my wallet every time I lose one. But a sizeable chunk of nothing is still nothing. I could earn more ISK to spend on more expensive ships but that would require grinding of some kind and I don't play games to grind. ___ Nice one CCP

I also hang about outside J4.4 watching the occasional BS get blown up (oddly they have all been dominixs) by 'gank squads'. Eve excites me like gws never could.
Ben Derindar KelBen Productions	Posted - 2007.03.05 23:37:00 - [43] Why do I love Eve? After nearly 20 years, Elite was starting to show its age. /Ben How to fix Eve
Dark Kavar Caldari Even-Flow	Posted - 2007.03.05 23:38:00 - [44] I play eve becuase life lacks explosions and pretty spaceships with guns Kind of like the Triforce in Zelda, only not quite as potent.
Zegox	Posted - 2007.03.06 00:25:00 - [45] Back in the day when I used to enjoy games like Elite, Privateer and Tradewars 2002, I imagined what similar games would evolve into a decade later. EvE has gone far beyond what I imagined and expected. And it's everything Freelancer had aspired to be, and much more.
Glaude	Posted - 2007.03.06 00:47:00 - [46] I love Eve because.... umm...well it's awesome when all your guns and missile launchers are going and there are explosions all around and I have the sound turned way up!!! Very good stuff! But also the freedom that it provides. I've played several online games and Eve is certainly unique.
Shania Eria	Posted - 2007.03.06 00:52:00 - [47] my computer has a hole in it that only works when eve is running.. need i say more? Originally by: Ealiom Oh yeah and trust me on this you will feel like a complete muppet after youve killed your millionth murloc in a search for 20 pairs of there balls.
