Noticed an ad of the two Naglfar's on the orange background towards a planet.
Had memories of wanting to play a certain space game, it was either eve the boxed version, or possibly earth and beyond... but I believe it was one of the elusive boxed versions.
So, I followed the ad out of curiousity and lead to a Gamespot offer of a free trial for 14 days. That looked nice but I feared the game required a super computer to even get going due tot eh spectacular visuals...
I was wrong, so after reading sections about the game and how it worked, I gave the trial a run and after being scared to so much as leave my newb system for fear of getting lost, I got the hang of it and I was hooked.

When i grew bored of waiting hours on end before i can go into a dungeon with a small group, an old friend from WoW pointed me towards a Interesting space Mmo that she has played before.
Did the trail, and 2 years later, i am still here.

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away...
I was playing WoW. Yes, I admitted it.
My guild was dying. We had a major drama bomb explode right on top of our heads and our egomaniacs destroyed us.
The loyal originals that remained behind, myself included, ran and maintained a website run by some kind of adserver that offered hosting services for guilds/clans/corps/cults/whathaveyou.
Every now and then when I posted on our forums to boost morale or provide a laugh or chuckle, I'd see this peculiar banner with a starship featured in some kind of spatial background, highlighted with the phrase "TRY EVE FOR FREE". Basically, it was an earlier version of the same 14-day trial banners you see every now and then on targetted websites which mmorpg players typicall visit.
So one day, after... um... some  nevermind on that tangent... anyway, being burned out with WoW and the current drama that was going on, I decided to have a fresh experience with something I was intrigued by via that banner advert.
Lo and behold, I was hooked.
I was impressed immediately by the space based environment. Being a fan of spatial exploration, EVE was a + on my book for its platform immedaitely.
I was further impressed by the rookie chat. Players helping other players?! Coming from WoW, my experience with such behavior was rare at best.
What hooked me, however, was the freedom. So I feel like being bold and stupid and risking it all? I can fly into Syndicate without worrying about what the hell might be waiting for me there only to later realize, after spawning inside a station, that maybe I should worry more about EVE PvP than I do about WoW PvP.

To be honest, I'm not sure. Played in the last few days of the beta (was in college at the time)...scrounged up some money the first day it was out and have more or less been here, though with quite a few breaks in between, ever since.
Think I had heard about it from a friend...but at this point after all these years I don't really remember.

I saw it at my local games store in 2003. I was a big fan of colony wars and looking at the pictures on the cover it looked similar so I decided to give it a go.
My first mmorpg ever, and not played anything else. (well I've tried but all the others mmo's suck)

I was playing freelancer when someone mentioned EVE. I think I was the Freeport # station, the one near the Corsair homeworld. I wonder if you were there?

I stumbled accross a ad online. Had never hard even then word of "EvE" mentioned ever before. Figured I'd try out the trial and I was sold.

A Goon I know IRL showed it to me over a year ago. I wasn't all that keen on it back then, though, and I put off joining until a few months ago.

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 :)
i wern't keen on the paying to play either but then found my m8 was paying using isk's he makes in-game :P
Used to play freelancer loved the story then it got boring so moved to x beyond the frontier then xtension. soon after that they changed the game to much so i found eve 
oh thanks esk esme

I heard about the game a long time ago, but didn't have a good enough computer to play it. Then I forgot all about it. But one day, about a month and a half ago I saw an ad for it on some website, with a free 14 day trial. As I have a better computer now I decided to try it out, and it rocks

Friend on IRC informed me about a free trial. He quit playing, but I continued.

Not the one done by GHSC, but the one written by Nightfreeze. Great reading material there. Don't know if you can find it online anymore.
Me too, can't find it. Amazing story, sucked me into this game before I knew what it was all about.

I was LANing at a friends house bemouning the fact that I hadn't found a really good space sim since Elite. He just said.. "Your gonna love this.." and sent me to Eve-Online.com. He even put me up for the first couple of months so I could get a credit card in order.
And as they say "I never looked back."

PvP community on various sites always mention EVE as the only worthy thing on the market atm (that isnt dieing such as AC) so I gave it a shot.
