I've always found the EVE playerbase quite high for a game which has never bothered to advertise itself *properly*
So, how did you get involved in EVE? word by mouth? after you read a review?

Was playing a MMOG browser game called Planetarion when one of the leading alliances there (Xanadu) announced they were going to quit the game and go play EVE.
I checked out the website and thought it looked good but couldn't be arsed with beta download as was only on 56k.
Kinda forgot about it but happened to walk into my local GAME store on the day it went Gold. Saw the box and immediately bought a copy. Only game I have spent any serious time on since!

A friend from another game mentioned the beta and gave me the link. A few weeks of reading forums, and applying for beta, got accepted..The rest is history.

if you don't wake up, i'll have to stop kissing you. all that flailing has made you sleepy. you rest while i untie you. stay here until they find you. My hand made mannequin. i won't let them get you. they'll know you're mine by the fingerprints on your throat. isn't she lovely? isn't she wonderful? like the *****s that we are, swatting flies from the wounds we design. |

Walked into GAME looking for something spacey and fun.
Eve was the only thing that fit the bill.

I was really into Freelancer about a year or more ago, and spent lots of time scouring the forums. A thread discussing a fictional expansion and the features people wanted contained a reply saying something along the lines of "Don't bother, just wait for Eve to come out", and contained the link.
From there I just waited for the game to be released, and gave it an extra month before making the plunge, just in case...
Haven't regretted it yet, haven't seen the wife since though...

Played Jumpgate alot, and heard it through the grapevine.
Saw the screenshots, and drooled.
Got into beta, and the rest is history.
This is really the only game where you have the freedom to write your own little drama story, and I'm lovin it.
Its Tradewars 2000 on HUGE FREAKING STEROIDS!

I was playing Earth and Beyond when I heard about EVE from the E&B forums about a year ago. I started to lurk in the forums and signed up for the EVE beta. I was accepted right before the game was released (I think most were), but then my computer became hosed and other things in my life demanded attention. I quit E&B last fall and ever since then, I've been jonesing for a good space game. A month ago, I finally got cable internet access and my computer up and running at 95% or so. Yay EVE!

Stumbled onto the website while looking for a nice desktop background. Fell in love with the graphics and the sound of the gameplay, signed up and got accepted for the beta - been addicted ever since.

An online friend told me about it 2 months before beta ended, I signed up at once, and got accepted the last week or so.
Played that week including armageddon day ( ) and got it ASAP when beta ended.

Mate whom I play board and card games with played it and knew about my love for Elite, Privateer, Freelancer and games like it. Showed it to me, took me two days before I gave into my primal urge.
Haven't touched many other games since then, kinda glad I'll be leaving the country in a months, as this game is starting to rate like an addiction.

Read about it in PC Gameplay (Dutch/Belgian magazine).
A few weeks later I was looking at a weekend with a LOT of spare time, so I thought, what the heck and bought it. Installed it and played. I loved it.
Have a lot more weekends with spare time now. (And a lot less hobbies too  )

I'm in a great UK based Battlefield 1942 clan
2 or 3 of the guys started playing Eve at the start and kept on rabbiting on about how great it was. I visited the site and forums and realised that it would suck my life away (as someone who lost months on Elite, and Frontier:Elite many moons ago), so i stayed away.
However, i finally succumbed in September, and my g/f has been complaining ever since

I played a lot of Privateer 2 and Fragile Allegience, this game seemed to be the first mmog that fit the bill of those games. I beta tested Jumpgate but that game just didn't feel right, it didn't feel like there was anyone else playing it which was odd because of course there was.

I read the PC Gamer review. Thought it looked amazing, went straight out and bought it...I wasn't disappointed! Funny thing was, that in a little side note in the PC Gamer magazine review, there was a little bit, which if my memory serves correctly, said.."this review wouldn't have been possible without the help of Silus Malfoy, fountain of knowledge, scholar, and all round top bloke...send him a tell". Ever since I started playing, I've looked out for Mr Malfoy flying past me somewhere, but to no avail! It will always be my secret hobby....Malfoy watching!

I was flippin' through my brand spankin' new issue of PC Gamer (USA) and happened across an ad for EVE. It seemed like a sweet game by the description, so I checked out the site a few days later and decided to get into beta.
BETA OWNED. :)
