I first saw it years ago, some time after playing Freelancer and thinking it looked amazing but at the time I didnt have an internet connection at home and well time went on =(
Fast forward a few years and im in college and one of my mates is a hopeless EvE addict (down to his EvE bandana, EvE shirt and crazy internet spaceship lingo ) who spends most of first year explainin why and how EvEs the best thing since sliced bread. Then soon as I get a proper internet connection at home he offered to pay for my first month as a kind gesture, but we EvEers know better, you get someone into EvE he aint gettin out

I used to buy a new game each week, none of them mmo's. most of them FPS, none of them online.
I went to buy a new game and was in a hurry. I was looking for a space game, saw EVE and just grabbed it.
After I installed it and seen that it would cost me $15 a month I was ****ed off! I could not believe this madness. I figured since I bought it I may as well try it. So I paid for 1 month.
Then I found out there were other REAL people playing!!
Long story short I have been playing for over 4 years now and have only bought 5 new games since.
I think I will be here until the servers shut down.

Originally by: Malcanis In my case, it was when I read this

Well, most of my co-workers at the time played WOW. A lot we're always trying to get me to play with them. But, I wouldn't because I don't like games that restrict you in the ways that those types of games do ( NO FREESTYLE PLAY WHAT SO EVER).
So, I come back to the office after spending some 7 months off site and a couple of co-workers convinced me this was the game I was looking for. So I tried it out. Now I've been at it for over 3 years now.
And I even killed one of the co-workers that introduced me to the game. It was funny as hell and he didn't speak to me at work for close to two weeks .

3 simple reasons:
Single, persistent universe. Constant PvP in all areas; market, trading, combat, etc. Realtime skill training rather than time spent in game == character "level".
It's what sets EVE apart and what makes it better than all the rest. ----- CEO, Astrum Contract Services Group

I used to play WoW. /me ducks quickly. I got a few chars up to 20-26 and got very....bored. Some SL folks I know were talking about EVE in TeamSpeak and I figured I'd give it a shot.
Here it is almost a year later, and I find myself wishing to return to the WoW realm....in my Myrmidon. EVERYONE DIES NOW!! _______________________________

I played Guild Wars (or should I say Build Wars) for 2 years and the spam in local, including the idiotic nerfs to support the new installments made me take a break. In that time, a close friend told me about Eve and I watched him play. I signed up, and was hooked

Originally by: Wild Rho Edited by: Wild Rho on 02/01/2008 23:54:07 Watched one of the very first offical trailers for it on a demo cd (some Caldari guy narrating his ambitions) and was more or less hooked.
Woot managed to find it.
Tbh CCP really should make more trailers in this style again.
Agreed. Totally should. Zond?!? GET TO IT!

I read the story by Nightfreeze, The Big Scam or something like that. Great writing, whether it's a true story or not. After reading that, I had to try Eve. The rest is history.

I started playing EVE basically because I wanted to try out an MMO. But I'm kinda done with the whole fantasy-setting with those annoying pointy-eared bastards of elves and midget red-bearded dwarves and ****. A friend of mine saw EVE, and was playing the trial. He told me I should check it out, and so I did. We played for about 6 months after that, and then took a break of about 6 months as well. We both just recently returned (about a month ago). The 6-month break really helped, I'm enjoying it again now.

My parents forced me to play it from my wooden cage.
In the early days if i didn't mine more that 10K of veldspar an hour, they would let uncle dave poke me in the bottom with his purple man helment
I still farm Veldspar to this day to keep my assets tight

I first started MMO's with Everquest (1 not 2). I played that for about 3 years and found that the expansions were just getting ridiculous in the content. So I branched out to others.... I tried WOW for 2 months, Guild Wars for a month, EVE for about a month, went back to EQ, Vanguard for a week (wish I didn't spend the $50 on that game, LOTRO for 3 months then I came back to EVE. I have only been back with EVE for a week but I am having lots of fun so far so I'm hoping this sticks...

for me it was because eve was like the old game elite but multiplayer where you could go anywhere you wanted and do what you wanted....and for a long time it was like that you could amble around and do just that and also do things on your own when you wanted

I started MMOs with Myst Online: Uru Live BETA, just because I loved the Myst games/books. I never played any MMOs before that and had sworn that I never would. After Beta the bugs were getting to me, having to wait for half an hour to log in or to switch from one "Age" to another (something like switching from one system to another in Eve), and the lack of anything to do started to get to me so I left. But I still wanted something online, so I went to Stargate Online: Trading Card Game, started in beta.
The card game was fun, and I loved collecting, but the bugs and general lack of interest from the devs was getting to me. They were more interested in a card game to tie into Everquest. Someone I beat in the card game mentioned Eve to me. I thought at the time, nah, I'm still spending a lot of time playing this card game. But I was bit by the Eve bug and haven't turned back. I sold off my online cards (but still have a physical copy of the sets I collected). Let's just say, Eve keeps me busy and I'll be here for some time. |
