I found out about EVE when players in E&B had a mini revolt on their official forums and started posting pro EVE posts all over the place. I enquired more with people who were playing both games, and I was told EVE was 'hardcore', 'visually stunning' and a modern day type of Frontier.
I also yearned for a bit of pvp and the idea of station owning and territory wars and stuff got me.
So here I am.

I read a review of it in PC Zone magazine and bought Eve about a week after retail. The first mmorpg i've played, now i have no sleep, no job, theres two big blokes outside my house come to repossess the tv that i never watch, my cat is starving, my girlfriend has left me and my friends avoid me wherever possible. More importantly though, i just got weapon upgrades L5 ! Thanks a lot CCP.

Well, I came home from the army, and on my way home I picked up a issue of Swedish PC Gamer. In it was a small article, maybe 5 sentences, about a game called EVE. I didn't think much of it then, but after a while I was bored and looked it up again. In it was a url to the EVE website.
So I checked it out, first I read the background stories, the articles, the POTWs etc. Then I signed up on the forum. It was really a nice crowd there, fun and helpful.
So I started hanging out in the IRC channel, posting on the forums and I signed up for beta. Got in at the end of phase 2, so I basically had time to create a character, and fly around in space doing nothing for a while, and then phase 2 of the beta ended. But I was in love with the game by then.
And I'm still here, posting on the forums and playing EVE.

Never played a MMPORG before. Went around to a mate's house and saw him flying some spaceship towards what looked like a large ribcage. Asked him what he was doing and it turned out he was heading for a jumpgate so he could jump into another solar system. He was Beta testing at the time. I thought nothing more of it.
Little while later I was at his house again and sat watching as he played the retail version of the game. He explained the basics of it and showed me how he mined Kernite in his Imicus. He'd set up his own corp for him and another friend of ours who had gone from Beta to retail. Just watching him was fun. With me egging him on he upgraded to his first Tristan and went rat hunting. Picked up some loot, kept some, recycled some, put some in the can of a lone miner as a surprise.
A week later I had my own account and joined his corp. Unfortunately he (Jubae) doesn't play now, but I've been here since around May

Buddy of mine was in Sinisters and Death, I really really wanted to join that corp :/ Sadly they passed away long before I got into beta 4.

When I was working for Vis Entertainlent, Isle of wight studio(State of emergency, PPG: relish rampage) Shaun (project lead) had bought a copy on the first day it was available in the UK. I loved it but had to wait till pay-day (1 week) to go and get my copy. 
so there was Shaun and I racking up the eairly Isk and skills, keeping careful records of what skills we had trained and what was training and when it would be finished.(breaking off from work to set the next one going) and Anna (also in our room was also tempted (bout two days after I got my copy) so the three of us in that room were playing eve late into the following mornigs sleeping at the office to get up for work and then eve untill the eirly hours again.....
then Vis closed the IOW studio and it's only recently I've had ADSL access again and so after a 5 month break I'm back in the saddle.

Wow.... I thought back....didn't remember, thought harder, still didn't remember....I just errhhmm always been here?
Although I remember finding this site and reading the forums and being generally enthusiastic about the game, Imagine my surprise when I found out they where an Icelandic company (I'm Icelandic)...
Still don't remember how I found the site though

I had heard of this game long before beta and I cursed it and hated it and talked ill of it at every given chance. When it was published I flamed it. One of my best friends bought it and I cursed, but I checked it out, and he had a quick 20 min introduction of EVE to me.
The next day I bought EVE and I have been playing VERY active since :)

Was told about EVE from a friend, we played DAOC. Found the web site, applied for beta. I got into beta 1 week before he did, though he already had a corp lined up. Still playing but not so agressively. Not into fighting, not into ganking, just some small time mining and producing. Hope to get back into the Bistot some day :)

I was playing Anarchy Online when EVE was nearing Beta. I found a link to an EVE preview in an Anarchy Online review. Kind of a "if you like this game, you'll like this other game, too" kind of thing.
I was in Beta for a week, hated it, and uninstalled. I decided to give it another go about 2 weeks ago and I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

Two of my friends from another Browser game wouldn't shut up about this EVE thing... and finally I asked for more info... and ended up buying the game within the week. their constant EVE chatter also got another bud of ours to join as well lol. |

I think I was on irc talking with some friend saying how I'd downloaded the freelancer demo and was really loving it, I'd just ordered a copy and was waiting with baited breath until release day. I probably said something along the lines of "shame its not multiplayer" to which one of my friends replied "you've seen eve right?". "eve??" I said
well ten minutes later the order for freelancer was cancelled, the eve forums were my homepage, I started speccing up and pricing for a new pc to play eve on and I waited for release day. Didn't bother with beta since my pc was too crap to handle it at the time. Played ever since.

Read about it on a computer forum. Investigated and was interested, but decided not to play, and wait for another MMORPG set in the Caribbean. Found out that would be delayed and got bored one Sunday arvo so just jumped on board. ;)
