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.

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!

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 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 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.

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?

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.

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)

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.

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.

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. ;)
