I just happened to walk into a game store the week of gold, sick to death of AC:2, and thought is sounded like an interesting approximation to an Elite-style MMOG. Was instantly hooked. |

Saw a preview of it (with a very complimentary article) on IGN.com. They kept coming back to the huge scope of the game, and its wide open nature. Never played a MMOG before and waited with baited breath for the US release.
Luckily, I had few friends to lose and pulled the wife in after 4 months of her going "WTF IS HE DOING ON THE COMPUTER!!?"

Yes, exactly!
In fact, CCP, if you haven't heard of/played Tradewars, and you need inspirations for additions to the game, go find a copy.
I was excited about Earth and Beyond, and had heard about EVE from the Electronics Boutique website. Finally got a chance to play EnB, realized it was a cartoon. Got into the EVE beta . . . never looked back.

i was browsing around stratics one day back in 02 i believe and came across a link anouncing that eve had gone into beta checked it out and it looked great.. (at the time i was playing UO) so i signed up to beta with an email address that i soon after forgot i even had and for about a year i kinda forgot about eve than in august of 03 i came across another link to eve
it sparked my interest again decided to sighn up for beta (forgeting that i previously signed up)got excepted twords the end of beta 6 i think (cant remember bout a month and a half before beta ended) played for awhile then i remembered my old email account and after checking it i found that i had been accepted to the beta not to long after i had oiginaly sighned up.

I came across EnB just after it was launched and spent a few months there. Was instantly hooked on MMOG's (EnB being my first one) but it didn't have the depth I was looking for. Things were too cookie cutter, too cartoonish, and too "small" (Compare the 50-60 systems in EnB with the 5k in EVE, and the fact that you get 1 ship per character, and no pvp).
Shortly into EnB, I started people hyping EVE. A few weeks later, I signed up for beta and got in at the start of beta7. Had the game on preorder a few days later, and talked a good chunk of our EnB guild (also Pukin' Dogs) to make the switch to EVE. That was 9 months ago. How time flies when you're mining scord....

Had been thinking of an online "Elite" since the 80's. Was talking to a friend about how Freelancer could have been so much more, and he mentioned Eve. Not played another game since! Astonished how such a game could have had so little publicity.

Had a guy showing me screenshots from beta and telling me the story about titans moving moons out of orbit. Figured I give it a shoot since I got banned from the APC SWG boards and vowed never to play the game. I'm glad to see the EVE boards are less politically correct.

I had just got an adsl connection and wanted to play an MMOG. I heard about E&B and shortly after, about Eve. Needless to say, I chose Eve :) Been playing since beta 5.

I first found out about EVE from the tribes 2 community after I wrote a giant thread about what I felt the best mmog ever would be.. They immediatly refered me to EVE (which was still in beta).

Was playing Earth and Beyond and outleveled the content. Everyone was talking about eve there. I checked up the site of CCP and thought: A small new team will never pull this off. Checked out the screen and thought: OMFG!!!
Signed up for beta and got accepted into Beta 4. I'm here since then.

Sci-fi has alwasy attracted me, I heard about EnB (which sucked) and played that and was dismaid by how 'small' it was and read about EVE on the EnB (which sucked) forums.
Signed up for beta, got in a few days later and left EnB (which sucked) the same day. Never did say goodbye to my guild mates in that game. Beta was great fun. :)
Did I mention that EnB sucks?

I work in a conferece hotel in Iceland and CCP happened to have a meeting here with possible investors. They forgot to delete the introduction video from the computer
From that day on I was hooked and couldnt wait for it to get launched.

Really loved the game Freelancer but it left me wanting more than it gave. It didn't really give you the freedom to do whatever you wanted like it said, only kill ships or do trading. Came accross Eve on the shelf of Wal-Mart one day and thought it sounded more like what I was wanting. I didn't have the money to buy at the time and then all of a sudden it disappeard of the shelves altogether. Finally bought a copy online and am loving it.

I was playing Planetarion with Xanadu, and took over a beta account of a alliance m8 who didn't have the time.
Played till the release and left it for a while. Up to the moment where some other Planetarion friends got into playing it (after I told them about my beta experiences)and persuaded me to come back.
Which I did, and without regret, It's without a doubt the best game I've ever played/seen.
Rgrds,

I heard about EVE on the Earth and Beyond beta forums two years ago. I frequently go back to EnB on missions to covert people So far many have heard but only few listen.

Was bored of lanning (no good multiplayer games out) so decided to another MMORPG (played UO back in the day, but stopped when i moved to oz as it was too slow)
Started playing a little over a month ago and am hooked. Have signed 3 friends up (one of whom has a very unnapreciative girlfriend) with more on the way (due to the buddy program)
Resistance is futile...

It was pure coincident when I found this game on the internet on my own. Actually I dont really remember when I found it, but it was a long long and I mean a really long time before beta. They only had a few concept arts online, some character studies and some little preview-videos of ships flying by. I remember they also released lots of their songs later on in mp3 format...

I found out about when it got some good play on Fires of Heaven guilds forum. Its an old-school-uber-sick-cutting-edge-
play-a-certain-number-of-hours-a-week-or
-your-out-and-you-better-be-two-boxing-and-oh-ya-dont-suck Everquest guild where most of the chat nowadays is about whats new in gaming.
Threads here: (you can also see it got CCP another 20 bucks besides me)
Well someone posted about Eve online and I was struck by the fact that nobody said it sucked.
You have to understand most MMORPGs pretty much always get slammed for sucking outside of their player base. And here Eve is getting 90s out of a 100 on official reviews.
I was also struck by the fact that lots of people said Eves developers understood their game and how to make it better.
Which is also something rare. Trust me you all have high praise for these developers. Most MMORPGs the developers just get laughed at as punch lines.
So I browsed around and saw the 20 bucks and said what the heck.
Im not sure if its stuck though. We shall see if I can ever get plugged into a corp thats more my speed. And the largest criticism of Eve is still waiting to be disproved: that endgame content in the form of enviornmental mountains to climb arnt really there. I still havent killed an NPC battleship though so how can I say thats true? =)(edit: oh ya but what if theres no point to killing the npc battleship...)
thats how I found eve.

PC Gamer UK edition. Basicly had a small artical, must have been about 6 months before beta started, Beta application was not even up, Got on the forums, and in IRC. Joined Krath, signed up for the beta and was accepted into Medusa beta 2. At the end of beta, did not buy the game becuase I was scared I would be hooked. Saw last week a free trial on PC Gamer... DAMN THEM!!! Now im here. back again. lol

I was playing EverQuest at the time with my sister who was an addict, but like Ultima Online before it, it just wasn't gripping me. I wanted something like X:BTF or Freelancer but multiplayer.
Wandered into GAME one bright cold day in April as the clocks were striking thirteen, saw the box, bought it, and I've been here ever since.
