Jolin Ires Gallente Federation Fleet Chaos Incarnate.	Posted - 2008.02.01 18:25:00 - [61] I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, considering the number of players who came here from SWG. After SWG went through the whole Combat Upgrade/NGE fiasco, i wanted something Sci-Fi, and EVE was on top of MMORPG lists. So gave it a try and loving it since.
Doppleganger Minmatar Band of Builders Inc. Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2008.02.01 18:39:00 - [62] I was playing Jumpgate back when the EVE beta 1st came out.. I don't remember if I heard about it from a forum or found it on my own. I signed up for the early beta but it was already filled.. I didn't get let in until like middle to late beta. Enough time to spend a few weeks playing it and got hooked. I seemed to have lots of bug probs in beta so I gave it a month after release see how ppl said it played. They told me it played like 10x better then the beta so I signed up and thats the rest of the story... been here ever since.
Pisi Mopsu NET Profit Trading	Posted - 2008.02.01 20:39:00 - [63] My former husband and son both started playing about a year before I signed up. After a year of participating in nonstop convo's about the game with them, and even joining on TS with my former husband's corpies, I just had to create myself and become part of the insanity.
SaintSIN	Posted - 2008.02.01 20:58:00 - [64] Beta trials 2003. I was bored of playing Masters of Orion 3 so I went on google and typed something like sci fi rpg, and EVE poped. Registered for the beta and gained access. Played on it and was part of the final day, was it called "armaggeddon"? where all skills were set to level 5 and we had billions in our wallets to buy everything we wanted.
Laura Baretta Minmatar Cult of the Skulls	Posted - 2008.02.01 21:07:00 - [65] I stumbled over the EvE website in I think 2001, back when it was still all very vague. It sounded cool, but I only followed it for a few months and then forgot about it again. I played EQ1 all the while EvE was developed and released. I remember once seeing the EvE retail box in a store and holding it in my hand thinking i'd like to play it, but I put it back because I was heavily involved in EQ1 still back then. So another 2 years after EvEs release I surfed around the web looking for Privateer Nostalgia, I downloaded the Privateer 1 3D project, played it and it sucked. Then I remembered about EvE again and that it must be alot like Privateer abck then, just cooler. Also, my bonds in EQ1 had been less strong by then and I was looking for alternatives. So FINALLY I downloaded the trial... well and the rest is history. Allthough I took another year absence in between for a last EQ1 visit I am now fulltime EvE citizen.
adriaans Amarr Advanced Capital Ship Designs Hephaestus Rising	Posted - 2008.02.01 21:50:00 - [66] i honestly don't know...lol i just came across it by chance i think... -sig- Support the introduction of Blaze M crystals for Amarr! (Or make Amarr the only race able to deal EM damage from turrets).
Sphit Kar	Posted - 2008.02.01 23:36:00 - [67] I got tricked by an ad. I saw a spaceship, mind you, obviously I had to click on it. The intro movie got me well planted on my chair. The music on the character creation page got me inspired. Then the first time I heard 'Warp Drive Active' the impressive tunnel effect got me hooked.
Val Vympel	Posted - 2008.02.01 23:50:00 - [68] I discovered EVE in June 2006. I discovered EVE on a Christian game review website.
Phoebus Athenian Gallente KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.02 00:09:00 - [69] How: I frequent http://www.mmorpg.com/ (as per previous poster) When, and Why: 2005, I was GMing and deving for a shard, actually 2, Ultima Online based shards. Etheria: www.etheria.org and Sunder: http://www.sundershard.com . I needed a break from Ultima Online... and at the time I was playing GuildWars mostly PvPing. What got me really excited about GW is that for the time invested you could have a lot of fun, and you could PvP in 5 mins. Often very demanding pvp, with 20vs20 fights etc... great stuff. (Eve is a lot better imho, but then there's the subscription.) Eve is the only subscription game I've played after Ultima Online, which I started in 1997 and stopped paying the subscription on 1998. Then started playing on a player run roleplaying shard called Mytharria, what a great place, actually more content. Allowed for building your own house, block by block, or hiring someone to do it for you-- I could go on and on.. mytharria one day crashed and the devs decided to let it kick the bucket. So I came across eve online on mmorpg.com, and liked the fact that you could use the trial without having to get your CC charged. Yes trials are supposed to be free, lol. I got hooked on Eve online for a few reasons. Massively online gaming universe, I love the idea of having everybody on one server. Every previous mmorpg has based their story on "magic" and fantasy... I was getting tired of all the fantasy ****-- just doesn't make sense to me. Eve online is at least believable, a lot of the mods used, and ships could be reality in 651646846514 years :P So that pretty much sums my story. ---
Twin blade Minmatar The Triangle Exa Nation	Posted - 2008.02.02 00:54:00 - [70] I don't rember how i found eve but i know that i found it early in the beta since i was in the closed beta. I miss the days of old npc guard ships failing badly to stop any type of pvp in high sec and the last day of the beta where i took 10 mate's to rens in geddons/apoc's to pwn all. Death is great rember where all dying to get there.

hellsknights RennTech SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.02 01:28:00 - [71] Originally by: Marcus TheMartin I discovered eve from some Mmo players on the valcyn server Being the avid gamer that I am I gave it a shot. It Ended up with me IN a Gallente HQ, Eleven people were in my "Lemming" corp talking about Drones and such wHen I met up with sOme people in from the nohup forumS That got me stArted with GallentE ships ways to train ways to play I joined a corp stayed there killed a merlin and a vexor had to leave the corp etc and here I am in the mouthwash corp. IM BEING HELD HOSTAGE. To i win something?
Cilvius Sanctus Gallente The Order of Chivalry Nex Eternus	Posted - 2008.02.02 02:43:00 - [72] I read about it back in 2005, and it really intrigued me. I played Everquest for three years, taking minimal breaks, and eventually left that for SWG (which only lasted a couple of months). I needed something new, and this spaceship game with an anything goes attitude really caught my eye. I made an account in May of 2005 and started playing. After a month or so I think I was feeling really overwhelmed, so I stopped playing and checked out some other MMOs. I bounced around to other MMOs, FFXI, EQ1 (brief return), Vanguaurd, WOW, etc. I would usually get bored after a while and end up looking at EVE again. In May of 2007 (oddly, two days before my character's 2nd birthday) I rejoined and have been playing since. I honestly can't see myself stopping for any real reason, and I'm really upset that I played more off than on since May of 2005, as I could have so much more SP .
McAltyalty	Posted - 2008.02.02 02:49:00 - [73] Back in 2005 when CAD posted it on their frontpage raving about how good it was, I also remember hearing about it in 2001 on tech tv but it was when CAD posted that I first had an opportunity to try it.
Arito Ka Gallente Pelennor Swarm	Posted - 2008.02.02 05:51:00 - [74] Originally by: Valeo Galaem I found EVE back in its alpha stages in 2001. I was thinking.. wouldn't it be cool if.. and started googling "space virtual world mmo". Actually that didn't find EVE, but what I did find were the Freelancer forums on Lancer's Reactor (at the time some people thought Freelancer was going to be an MMO) and someone posted a link to EVE. Checked it out, and the rest is history. I actually found EVE while searching the internet for a site that would let me buy a downloadable copy of Freelancer, since I had fond memories of it. No luck, but I guess finding EVE made up for it, since I'm still playing 1.5 years later
Liliane Woodhead Intergalactic Charwomen	Posted - 2008.02.02 06:13:00 - [75] my husband did it to me as a gift ... ha long time ago. we are both smarter now ! .o( sure ? ;) )
Marcus TheMartin Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2008.02.02 06:28:00 - [76] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire Originally by: Ursula LeGuinn I've heard about it for years, due to its infamy for huge heists, betrayals, dev scandals and scams (EVE Investment bank, lawl... 700 billion ISK worth of suckers). This and ebay.com helped me to find and subscribe to this fine game. fixed
Izix Civire Caldari The Taipan Legion Free Trade Coalition	Posted - 2008.02.02 06:28:00 - [77] A few years back one of my friends gave me a game magazine to read, and he told me about this story about how a guy infiltrated a corp and managed to steal a huge amount of money and destroy a very valuable ship. I think it was the Guiding Hand thing, but he was interested in it and after reading that so was I.
ShuPac the3rd Amarr Obsidian Inc. KIA Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.02 08:03:00 - [78] I was talking to big blue whale (it turned out later that whale was one of Grimpaks forms) and whale told me about EVE online. I told him its too far away for me to fly there, but he explained me I just need to download some program and I'll be ok. I did that and I curse every day I listened Grimpak.
Ilea Celentay Veiled Justice	Posted - 2008.02.02 09:06:00 - [79] Originally by: Marcus TheMartin I discovered eve from some Mmo players on the valcyn server Being the avid gamer that I am I gave it a shot. It Ended up with me IN a Gallente HQ, Eleven people were in my "Lemming" corp talking about Drones and such wHen I met up with sOme people in from the nohup forumS That got me stArted with GallentE ships ways to train ways to play I joined a corp stayed there killed a merlin and a vexor had to leave the corp etc and here I am in the mouthwash corp. We all are. Yet only some of us know! I saw Eve a number of times on the shelf in Game. I didn't like the idea of a subscription, despite the boxed game being only about ú10. So I held back. Until around August 2004; when I decided I had to try it. Except for my first year of Uni which started that September where I was unable to play (thought I so longed to!) I have played, and paid ever since. Not sure anything will stop me now! Faction Ship Info \|\| Rig Factory
Miksta Caldari NunyaBizzness	Posted - 2008.02.02 09:36:00 - [80] i saw my sisters Boyfriend play this game when it first came out, I was playing Anarchy Online at the time. Whenever i saw him play he was sitting there looking at roids with a laser hitting it, i though "wow how boring" and carried on playing Anarchy Then 7 months ago alot of my friends moved over to here, and i tried it, and got hooked instantly, i only wish i started back when i saw it :)Only thing is the people who moved over hardly play, where im playing all the time hehe.

Knacker Lover Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2008.02.03 00:25:00 - [81] Edge Magazine ran a great article about Eve about three years ago and that's how I heard about Eve and introduced others.
Sakura Nihil Stimulus	Posted - 2008.02.03 01:13:00 - [82] First and only MMO so far, found it around April 2005 when I was looking for an MMO to play. Before then, games I'd played had no real long-term impact, it was mindless but fun shooters or RTS's. I found out my friends were doing so at the exact same time, and decided to go to EVE as well. I outlasted them big time.
sinqlaison	Posted - 2008.02.03 12:20:00 - [83] Played Elite in 1985 three times on computer of a friend and was hooked. 20 years later my sons told me there was a game like that, called Eve, which the 3 of us then started playing. No disappointment...
Star Dagger Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.02.03 14:16:00 - [84] Was looking for a complex and interesting game in 2006. I spent a good deal of time on the Star Trek Legacy forums, waiting for that game to come out, hoping for starship combat and instead getting an xbox port. Maddoc software is forever in my Hall of Shame for developers. I got into EVE and only left for a few months to command ground forces in Supreme Commander. I brought some people with me, most of whom are still playing. Yours in EVE Plasma, Star*Dagger
Saraith Narr Amarr PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.02.03 14:21:00 - [85] Edited by: Saraith Narr on 03/02/2008 14:22:15 Edited by: Saraith Narr on 03/02/2008 14:21:16 I was made aware of EvE from a post on www.warseer.com Alas, I took onboard too much of the information given too me, and made a super efficient Caldari character that bored me to death, so I never renewed my trial account. About a month later, I decided to have another shot at it, but this time I would go for what I found fun, rather than what was most efficient. And here I am.
Thorion Mortisfilius	Posted - 2008.02.04 06:46:00 - [86] I came over with the big influx of EnB players when it shut down.
