Trolsk Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:09:00 - [31] Originally by: J Ripper EVE was my first MMO, been playing it since 05. However, Since trying out a different game (in nov 07) I am finding it increasingly hard to class EVE as my #1 game choice now :( I cannot afford to pay for 2 mmo's (well I could but dont see the point), I play EVE for free now, or at least untill my funds for timecards run dry :( I never PVP'd in eve cos 1) I suck at it, 2) It's too expensive to build a ship up with all my hard earned isk only to be ganked a few gates into lo-sec. Join Red versus Blue, with an alt at least, very low cost to lose T1 frigs and you will get a hassle free experience of pvp.
Vaato Leto Lucky Flight	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:10:00 - [32] I played BF2 mostly and then moved on to Project Reality afterwards. My friend passed me a 14 day trail of Eve right around Revelations. I tried it and totally fell in love with the setting mostly, I love space and always dreamed of flying ships. The graphics were great and it was different from the strictly fantasy settings of DOAC and WOW. I been playing for roughly a year now, and there is still so much to do and see. It's consistently the game I keep going back to even though I recently bought a PC that let me play Crysis and other games at full settings... however they just don't have the holding power of Eve. I believe alot of that has to do with its unique space setting, sandbox play style and recurring updates over time. Something other fanatasy style MMOs really lack.
Cipher7 Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:13:00 - [33] My first MMO was a text based MUD called Realms
Siigari Kitawa The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:18:00 - [34] Wait, you guys mean EVE wasn't the first MMO? First and only, boyeeeez.
Anson Halleck Lost Eden Essence Enterprises	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:20:00 - [35] Eve is my first and only MMO. Like OP, I am/was an Unreal Tournament addict, only online game I ever played (besides a bit of CS).
Bit Steen Abandoned Resolve Corporation Pest Control Union	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:47:00 - [36] My first MMO was "Mankind" - was very promising - i playd it about 2-3 years(?) - but the french Corp Vibz or Vibez (dont remember) was not very successfully to update the game
Kilvane Shinra Shinra Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:48:00 - [37] My first mmo would be Everquest, AB server, AK/UK guild, moved over to wow :S but playing eve since 05, but i come from online fps, DoD, CS half life.
ThroatWarbler Mangrove Right of Passage	Posted - 2008.03.18 10:59:00 - [38] This is my first MMO, been around about 5 months now. I come from the ubiquitous FPS background and, more importantly, driving sim games like Grand Prix Legends and Nascar 2003 (where I used to race in leagues). Eve is a nice contrast from the reflex actions required to do the other games. It requires thought and combat is still fun even if it's really a point-and-click exercise. Lag issues with loads of players mean it can never be as "FPS-like" as something like X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. For that you'd need a massive pipe and pings less than 100ms to play properly. MMOs just aren't built that way.
Heartstone Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2008.03.18 11:06:00 - [39] Oddly enough played Elite on the old BBC Micro. Then played Eve on the PC. A space of what? 20 years between games ;) ---
Skallebank Mentis Fidelis R-I-P	Posted - 2008.03.18 11:09:00 - [40] eve is not my first [eq eq2 ] but it is the best ive played. I love the fact that when u die it can really cost a hell of alot of ingame money. Which means u need to work to gain money and it keeps you coming back.
Franga NQX Innovations	Posted - 2008.03.18 11:22:00 - [41] Originally by: Flybye But what is slowly creeping up on me is the lack of true FPS control. I love the complexity of the game, but the "select this" and "push weapon of choice" and let the computer do the rest has been kinda bugging me lately. I miss having to use my actual mouse aiming skills. Here is also where I am curious about how the rest of the FPS background guys are handling it. So far, I've been playing for about 1.5 months. This is bothering you because you're a 'twitch' gamer. Especially coming from your long line of FPS games. EVE is more of a strategy and fitting game. The gang that has the better group setup will generally win. Unless it's fleet, and then it's just who can bring more caps. Originally by: Rachel Vend ... with 100% reliability in most cases ...
Jake Tyler How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Unaffiliated	Posted - 2008.03.18 11:30:00 - [42] EvE was my first MMO when i started playing in 2004. I read an artical about it in PC Gamer saying its played fine on dial-up, so i gave it a go and im still here..
Brumin Rush Brutor tribe	Posted - 2008.03.18 11:34:00 - [43] First MMO was Asheron;s call. After level 9 or 10 I kept dying and losing stuff and becoming weaker and weaker. I could not figure out why someone would pley this game. Then a friend introduced me to DAOC, just after the SI expantion, wow playing with people is fun. Leveled a toon on Mordred to level 45. By that time radar had become so prevelent that you were getting ganked by roaming groups everywhere. Moved to a blue server. Played... for a long time. Tried EvE, interesting.. maybe later. Tried City of heroes leveled a FOTM Fire/Device blaster. Too repetitive. Back to DAOC, plyed a little while. Started a hunter on WoW, played for 6 months. Back to DAOC. This lasted 6 months. I cancelled my subscription for the last time. After some coaxing I went back to WoW where I curently have a couple of 70's and 60+. Started EvE, paid account (Still playing WoW). 6 months in a really good corp but I didn;t have the skills nor the money. Lost a ship and got podded while trying to reach 0.0. 75 million ISK down the drain, 15 million in account. I was not happy. Closed account Back to WoW full time got in a good guild, doing raids and playing with a great bunch of people. Some friends of mine wanted to try EvE, so I'm showing them the mechanics. So far they like it. They have just touched the surface EvE is not easy, but it;s so much more than a hack and slash. Friend: "Hey what's the guy with the skull mean?" Me: " He has a bounty on his head" Friend: "Can we shoot him and get the bounty?" Me: "you see all the people comming out of the station?" Friend: "Yes" Me: "You should ask yourself, Why are they not shooting at him!" (At this point I really wanted them to feel the wrath of Concord but I know the money would have come out of my pocket :-) but still it was just a crappy frigate
Brego Tralowski Tralowski Haulage Co.	Posted - 2008.03.18 11:53:00 - [44] I was always heavily into console games and have just about every console ever made. I never really thought about 'PC' games until very recently like Jan of '08. I knew lots of people who played MMO's but i was always more into FPS and sim type games, that was until I was until i Googled 'MMO' and was given a list of all the most popular types, Wow being the most famous. I looked at eve and within 15mins downloaded the trial and head out into the stars. Its my first MMO and I love it, im hooked and spend many hours mining, trading and that sort of thing. It looked complicated from the outside but once you start you soon get the hang of things. Plus the help from other players in game is just amazing, your all so friendly and willing to help, and within 2 months ive established my own haulage corp, can fly a BS and a whole host of industrials and soon an Obelisk! I cant imagine playing any other MMO! ----------------------------------------------- Tralowski Haulage Co, hauling the galaxy one load at a time.
Considered Deus otiosus Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:02:00 - [45] I played Runescape for like 6 months, then took a break, started playing it like 6 months later than stopped, started WoW for about 10 months or so then just focussed completely on EVE. Although...I still go onto CS:S every so often.
Lin Haraka Legio Conquistus Sylph Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:08:00 - [46] First and only MMO i played tho i wish there was a bit of arcade in it like in Freelancer so you can move your ship but i guess that would cause some major issues
woddel Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:22:00 - [47] Edited by: woddel on 18/03/2008 12:23:51 hi all well, eve is my first true mmo to. i played the beta of pirates for about an hour. did not turn me on. i come from the strategy and simulation side of games (settlers, industry giant, silent hunter etc oh, and i have played elite on the commodore 64). i love the complexity and the numerous possible challenges of it... and the human interaction... :) cheerios, woddel --- creator and maintainer of eve-commander complete web based character information tool.
Spoon Thumb Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:25:00 - [48] Eve was my first MMO. Didn't really know much about them back then, but saw an add for Eve and it appealed to me, so soon as I left home and got me a credit card (because my parents would never let me use theirs not in a million years), I signed up for eve and have been here just about ever since (2.5 years now). I have tried other MMO's; They have shiny graphics, better interfaces, more interesting missions/quests/adventures. But none of them stand up in terms of being able to provide more than just "grind, collect stuff, improve character" cycle. Eve has really long term player driven goals to achieve beyond just having the best character/stuff I come from FPS, half-life/cs etc world too and the lack of proper "aiming" concerned me too. But actually eventually came to realise that pvp had enough variables, albiet a different set of them to make it interesting. (Modules/setup, team organisation, intel on enemy in Eve vs. reflex, accuracy and spatial awareness in an fps. In counterstrike, not much difference between AK47 and M4A1, but in Eve there is a world of difference between say falcon and rapier) Khaldari khanidpublic: RP channel for Kingdom loyalists Recruiting
Myros Glimmbrand Ganja Co	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:33:00 - [49] Edited by: Myros Glimmbrand on 18/03/2008 12:34:25 My first 'MMO' (though it wasnt called that at the time) was Air Warrior on GEnie. Had to pay PER MINUTE ... now THAT was a hardcore PvP game :) Had to be insane just to play it. Though I guess I played an 'online' game even before that when we all just had modems logging into ether nodes and BBS games. That was before the internet, god I just made myself feel old lol. Then of course came UO (ultima online) - dreadlords ftw, where we invented the term 'carebears' ;p Myros
Elliot Reid Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:35:00 - [50] EVE actually was my first MMO as I joined in in beta. I did like it but some friends had started playing DAoC so I went there. I do sometimes regret that but I had some great fun playing other MMO's before I came back to EVE. _______________________________________
Andre Marconius House Of Troy	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:42:00 - [51] My fist MMO was Planetside (New Conglomerate > all ) which I still think was one of the best FPS experiences I ever had (200 man battles over 500m anyone?). Also played Black Hawk Down and Counter Strike and then progressed onto Joint Ops and Source. Started playing BF2 in 2005 and Project Reality from the .4 version and I still play them both now. Have been dabbling in RTS through all of this period but not enough to join any clans ect. Started to play WoW late last year as the rest of my BF2 clan played it. Stopped that because it was boring and my clan seemed to be bunch of a*ses when on WoW. When downloading the demo for a game I noticed a 14 day trial for Eve and I thought I'd give it a go and I'm still here
Danzig256k Mortal Devastating Kin Black Sun Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.18 12:43:00 - [52] much like the OP, i've played just every FPS ya can think of out there, quake, tribes, UT, CS, RB6, GR, AA:O. also played some RTS's like red alert and C+C. eve would be the first MMO i got into, beta'd aseron's call, matrix online and auto assault. but eve sucked me in hardcore, going on 3 and a half years now
Brumin Rush Brutor tribe	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:16:00 - [53] Originally by: Myros Glimmbrand Edited by: Myros Glimmbrand on 18/03/2008 12:34:25 My first 'MMO' (though it wasnt called that at the time) was Air Warrior on GEnie. Myros Well I didn;t count my trade wars BBS experiance or my Compu$erve account which I had to access through datapac. :-p +1 for the old school guys.
Merfio School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:24:00 - [54] Ultima Online anyone?
iNFyza Overkill Frontier Technologies Combined Planetary Union	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:27:00 - [55] Eve was my first MMO as well. I had used 3 trial account over a year before I felt the game was worthy of my money. Im very much into Counter-strike, quake and UT. CS:S is very demanding and stressful when your in one of the top teams in the country so Eve is a very nice game to play when you just want to relax and take a break. I now have 2 characters, both industrialists turned PvPers. Your signature is too large. Please resize it to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes.

techzer0 IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:32:00 - [56] EVE is my first real MMO... played Freelancer to pass the time back when I was playing in the FPS leagues on teamwarfare.com, but never was interested in the MMO genre until a few coworkers wouldn't shut up about this game and I checked it out (ZOMG NO WIZARDS!!1) Been hooked for nearly two years now ------------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal It's great being a puppetmaster
Temper Liberty Investments and Manufacturing	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:43:00 - [57] I was 'Molly Hatchet' in Ultima Online. I started playing the week after it was released. Been playin MMOG's ever since
Tippia School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:45:00 - [58] The Realm Online (hooray for 1996 throwbacks!), Planetside and more MUDs than I wish to remember. For some reaons, I grow tired of pure PvE MMOs long before they come out of beta - and I've been in far too many of those
AleRiperKilt The Scope	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:48:00 - [59] Yup, first one. I played Warcraft 2 and Battlefield 1942 for a few days each, not real MMOs, just get all my buddies to same game server or host my own. Didn't last long. The closest thing to an space MMO I played before Eve was VGA Planets centuries ago (good ol' BBS times) I regret I didn't hear about this game when it was released. I would be flying Titans or maybe a Veldonough if so. --- 1. Fit wrong stuff to ship 2. Post screenshot in Eve Forums 3. ???? 4. PROFIT!
Carcosa Hali Naqam	Posted - 2008.03.18 13:50:00 - [60] Eve was my first real MMO.. I had played a great Lovecraft MUSH for about 1.5 years, but then hit holy omgwtf burnout and wanted something as unlike that game as possible. Hence, Eve. I took a break during the summer and tried City of Villains, it's cute and all; but when I came to fully understand what people mean when they say "Grind", I ran back to Eve as fast as I could.. Realtime skill advancement ftw. -------------- Sometimes you lose it all... Sacrifice: Full Text
