If you give your character to me, I guarantee within a week, I will have blown up your than, and spent all your isk.. probably frivolously. But.. you can watch the FRAPS !
Likely after that point ill use your char for pvp alongside my main, Solant. While I don't currently run two accounts, I would be willing to open a second to accomodate IceForce.
As far as other games go.. it really depends on what you look for in a game. Were you attracted to EVE because of its sleek graphics? The brutal pvp?(ie losing your stuff any time you die)? The steep learning curve?
I've played pretty much every MMO under the sun, so I can pretty much give you the lowdown on any game you might want to try out.. some of them are good, many of them are terrible but still have that addictive/competitive quality that can make people play them to death anyway..
For example.. I played UO back in the day, and yes, it did have pretty laughable graphics, but the gameplay was and still is _unparalleled_. The pvp was intense, because if you died, you lost everything you had. You could greif people in the most cruel ways.. I remember a buddy of mine once killed someone, then opened up a portal... he told the guys ghost (when you die you become a ghost in UO, and you get to walk back to town ;D) that it was a portal to town... of course, it wasnt a portal to town but a portal to an isolated island in the middle of the ocean. In UO, if you dont have a boat, you aint going over water.. so yeah.. that guy became that islands permanent ghost (or at least until his clanmates bailed him out) Stuff like that was gold.. and will never be surpased, I don't think, by new age games. Anyway, UO has undergone a graphics update, and looks alot better now, and truly while it is an oldschool game I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't have issues with last-gen graphics. If you are interested in trying it out, let me know, I can teach you the ropes and give you a head start.
As far as games such as WOW.. I played wow for a long time, and the pvp is pretty fun, but the pvp just doesnt have the intense, hardcore edge that I like in games like EVE/UO.
Anyway, I'm at work (10 hour nightshifts yay), so I can't go into more mmo's at the moment... but if you are looking for a new game to sink your teeth into, I can defenitely find one you will like, and I still play many of them so chances are we can rip stuff up in one of them too.
Regardless of whether you're gonna 'give me your stuff' or not, shoot me an evemail or something and ill give you a more in depth listing of my mmo-encyclopedic knowledge.. I have a lot of m8's that play many games and we are always looking for good gamers to chill with and hatch ridiculous plans in games. Hell, most of them have been into the MMO scene longer than me..
