I was talking to my friend on aim about games he was playing. He told me about EVE, sent me a link to the picture with all the ships compared to each other and told me that he was being chased around by an Avatar while he was in an Imparior. I was like WHOA WTF COOL, and joined. Came to find out he was a n00b, and didn't know what he was talking about...There were no titans at that time.

BF2 clan, on whose servers I was playing, had a small group of people that had a forum subsection, about something called "EVE".
Then they mentioned word "Homeworld" (and I was addicted to it :).
Went to try it, and... usual story 
Couldn't beleive something like that existed. Hated myself for not finding it sooner  |

Someone on another forum kept talking about how great and super EVE was and eventually, I gave up and requested a friend code.
Ironically, one month after I signed up and joined his corp, he deactivated his character because he had grown bored. It's only then that started telling about all the bad parts in the game, which he had mysteriously omitted before my registration.

One of the customers at my work was playing it, he was a friend of mine too.
He was playing in late 2004, I looked at it and almost cried when I realised I didn't have a credit card.
So in the beginning of 2005 I finally got my new credit card through the post, been playing ever since...

In late 2005 or early 2006 I overheard a conversation at a party, where a married couple were converersing excitedly
about something obscure, with lines like
"they just don't get it", and, "its so funny
that they are missing the whole point".
When I blindly joined the conversation, I got a raving flood of praise on how you can do "this" and "that" and be "just about absolutely anything you want" in this amazing game, and I like asked that "can you like be a bar owner or command huge space fleets" and they were like "oh yeah" and "all that and more".
...so a year or so later, after not having touched
a single computer game in almost 10 years, I had the sudden urge to sign up to a MMORPG and boy was I glad that CCP had kindly arranged a free 14-day trial and you
could just download the game and start playing...
..thats bout it

Same here. I gave up on the whole thing for a couple of years after that. Then a mate of mine who also used to play E&B but who had jumped straight across into the EVE beta convinced me to get on board with EVE. The rest is history.

There was a 30-Day Free Trial banner at the top of a Penny Arcade comic. I clicked it, found out that it didn't require a credit card, and thought, "Aw Hell, I've got an hour or so I can kill..."
Never thought I'd still be playing.

QFT. People usually hear about a good game through word of mouth. I thought it was odd that I had never heard of Eve until I signed up for a free trial, being as geeky as I am.

From reading the comments in the various Slashdot articles about the BOB + T20 thing, comments from people who played made me interested in trying out the game and haven't looked back since, which just goes to show no publicity is bad publicity.

My brother had been following EVE since it was announced.
Me and him both signed up for the Beta, but left for a year becuase the game sucked. We got the Beta tester's invite trial back to the game, and never looked back.

E&B refugee as well. Someone in my guild said 'Have you tried 'EVE'? It's like E&B, but more adult.'
I was expecting ****, but this is just as good. :) Haven't been able to watch the same dirty movie for 3 years straight.
(I have an odd feeling this will some how get tied into next months 'why are you playing a chick' thread...)

SWG got NGE'ed and I was running around from MMORPG to MMORPG looking for a place. I was always interested in Eve, but mmorpg.com people and other third party site people scared me away with the "Eve is for those only wishing to join a guild" nonsense. What I have found in Eve is a game that is a great experience and offers a hell of a lot of freedom and depth.
I have been in Eve for over seven months and have barely explored it, that is what always attracted me to SWG, there was much to explore (if you didn't follow the boring path of the shallow J3D-3Y3 with its hollow promises).
Great little game we got here, lots o senseless murder and mayhem.

i literally was bored of all other games - even battlefield 1942/desert combat. I googled for something like "space game, massive" as i had thought of installing freelancer again but it was a little too soon for that. i was reading about some other games and had never considered a subscription game, then saw an ad for a free trial and thought, yeah why not.
so however abused the free trial system is currently, it does bring players to the game.

I was helping to play betas for a company that ccp advertised with. Even though the initial stages were bugged to hell and back (usual scenario) it was beautiful to look at. Obviously ships, space scenes gates et al all changed to a lesser/greater degree but its retained its beauty throughout. When the game went gold I continued and I rushed out to buy the disc on its day of release. Even though i've left and rejoined, ccp still seem unable to stabilise its server issues (the same since stage 2 testing), players still use macros/exploits/scams to get by, fleet warfare is impossible and mostly boring and the storyline aspects have fallen by the wayside its still the most beautiful of all the games ive played and worth every penny.

Kept hearing about it from my D&D buddies, and since they wouldn't STFU about it, figured I should at least know WTF they were talking about. Over a year and a half later, Dominix's still cry when I fit them with hull-tanks.

I read the article about EVE in PC Press magazine. Its mostly a serious magazine and they cover only one game in each issue so EVE had a pretty nice coverage, two full pages with a few screenshots...
Took me some time to overcome the fact that this was a pay-to-play game, but now Im training my second account :)
