Some of the guys at work were talking about and convinced me to give it a try. They told me that it was strategy based and involved spaceships. They even showed me the Eve-Online website. With a litte more coaxing - I couldn't figure out why I would pay monthly for a game - I finally did the trial and have been here ever since.

I was driving along listening to Jeremy Vine on radio 2 and they were doing an article about addiction to 'video' games. The article was being discussed because there had actually been a rehab centre set up for those who were hopelessly addicted to gaming.
Whilst listening I heard Eve Online mentioned a few times so when I got home I googled it to see what all the fuss was about. That was a year and a half ago and I'm still happily addicted  |

After SWG augered in, I was sad watching my guild and the town we built (Mesa de Veganza) vanish.
I was reading Penny-Arcade one day and saw the EVE ads, and decided to check it out. And here I am.

I first tried a trial account when penny-arcade made mention of the game way back when. I didn't play for too long that first time, bouncing off the learning curve(wall?) at that time. Came back to the game quite a bit later and stuck with it

Picked up the game at the local "game" store when it was sold over here in the UK.
Tried it for about 2 weeks and gave up to due to the lacking UI
picked it up again after "mektek" killed off Mechwarrior for me and a few clanners...Rest is history.

Because everyone on the X Universe forums hates EVE like EVE hates WoW. So I had to check it out.
Only, the people in X Universe have reason to be jealous and scared. However, EVE people knocking WoW is just tacky, sort of like Man U beating up on Derby County, if I've got my similes correct.

I've heard of the game when playing Earth & Beyond. Finally started a couple of months after quitting WoW.

Spaceships.
Had finished X2 and someone mentioned Eve on their forums, so I gave it a try.

I am playing Eve because frankly all other MMOs are the same..that is they are mass-market drivel that waters down the content in order to appeal the widest number of people.
That makes for bland, boring, unchallenging content that frankly I find beneath my capabilities as a gamer.
Eve is a MMO with the training wheels taken off..you fall down in Eve, you get hurt, and if you have even half a brain you learn how to dust yourself off and keep going rather than crying to anyone who will listen about how walking is too hard and 'unsafe'. In short, in Eve the risks match the rewards.
In 'other' MMOs, they hand out rewards like candy to kids during a parade. You get goodies simply for being there not because you actually accomplished anything. That is BORING!
In Eve you climb to the top NOT because you are some obsessive-compulsive who has hours on end to grind the same set of mobs over and over, no in Eve you have to have a brain, understand how money works, how risk management works, understand logistics, planning, etc.
Sure Eve may only have 200k players but as far as MMOs go, Eve is home to the cream of the crop in my book. Everything else is a Fisher-Price toy or 'saftey' scissors. Perfect for those who never stopped eating glue in school (aka the Ralph Wiggums of the world)

Cut my addiction to MUDs (Curse you Iron Realms!) but was longing for that online community feel (different from IRL interaction somehow). Hours of fruitless searching for something that didn't include wizards and magic I found Tabula Rasa. Got into the beta but didn't enjoy it, so remembered EVE Online from a Penny Arcade ad. Half a year now I think.

I came here when Galaxies was "WoWed". I lasted 2 years of the NGE hoping it would change back but after the devs started trying to NGE space I just gave up and joined the only complex game on the MMO market :P
I miss pre-nge galaies but gotta admit eve is everything I want in an MMO plus just about everyone here hates wow as much as me :D

Tried a few other MMOs, I really wanted a Space MMO and I so found Eve.
I have had a love/hate/love/hate/love relationship with this game for over 2 years now. |

A Goon introduced me to Eve Online IRL but I didn't like the game (I thought it was too cold and harsh). Then I get really interested in space opera so I decided to give Eve Online a try after all. Spending my first four months mastering the learning curve kept me interested. Then I joined a player corporation and now I'm hooked.

I saw all the good reviews on MMORPG that this game rocks. I think it is the only game that I heard of where starting players have a chance to make it big in-game. Like when fighting a level 70 toon, a group of level 10 toons can kill an epic level 70 toon. I know this is not possible in World of Warcraft because level 70 pwns anything not level 70. And I decided to give it a go. Looks fun so far.

Looking for something different. I started in December of '06, lasted about six months, then took a semi-break, maintaining some training, until I returned a month or two ago, and got back into it.
This wasn't an easy game to get into, the level of hostile paranoia in this game is higher than anything I've seen, even in Entropia Universe where real money is on the line. But once you're across the threshold and can handle the quirks of fate in this game, its rather enjoyable.

I blame Google for my addiction. MMO + Not wow + free trial + scifi = EvE. Tried to convert my WoW roommates but they are really into cool "medieval stuff" and space ships are for nerds.
