In 2008, was looking for an MMO that had group vs. group warfare, with real consequences. Not some kind of faction vs. faction or "PVP zone" arena think, but wide-open warfare with real territorial conquest. EvE was the only thing around like that. Think it still is. |

I had bought a telescope about 2.5 years ago. Was doing a lot of research on outer space. I went back to the website that I got the telescope from a few days later and thanks to Googles targeted marketing I saw an advertisement for EVE. Been playing ever since. |

I realised that i was a complete failure in life and had no impact on anything.
People dismissed me and girls ignored me.
I found this game and realised that i was finally home with my own kind

I like when you post, it's hilarious. Especially that one time a new player was introducing himself on the forums. Have a like.

A friend in another MMO back in 2005 told me about Eve and me, like a total dumbass, didn't bother to check it out. Years later other friends started playing Eve and sent me a buddy invite thing. That was 2 years ago. If i had listened to my friend in 2005 I'd be a bitter vet by now

I played WoW for 4 years. After the Ulduar expansion the game started to suck and get boring for me so I quit. During this time I had an RL friend playing Eve; I do not like trying new things but I was hella bored.
I started a trial along with a couple more RL friends. During the first month I nearly gave up because I had no idea what to do, but eventually things got themselves sorted :) I quickly figured out the most important part of the game was finding a player corp with decent people in it; id say that was the most important step. |

I signed up to beta exited at the prospect of playing ELITE with a bunch of real people to shoot at.
I could not justify the subscription at launch. I came back a couple of years later when the game acquired a tad more polish and resolved to play low key and on my own terms.
I love the politics, the intrigue and the real intellectual minds that make the EVE political landscape what it is. DUNE eat your heart out.
Don't let the new wave of gamers tell you this game is anything but brilliant. It is as deep and twisty as you want it to be, and if you are half as twisty as I am, that is very very dark indeed.

double post.
but since I'm here - do what you can to promote EVE positively. It may be evolving away from the RPG I fell for - but it is still great in so many ways. |

In my case I was playing some other game, perusing the forums there, and ran into someone talking crap about EvE. I looked into it, saw that it looked like it might be my kind of game (spaceships, yay!) and gave it a shot.
I have to admit, it is a really, really boring game. It's got me sucked in though for some reason. I keep trying other games but they're all exactly the same crap over and over again (and not even that different from each other). They're all the boorish parts of EvE without any of the great stuff.
So, as long as CCP doesn't sacrifice spaceships for Incarna/monocles again, and I don't die 5 times in a row because of stupid overview glitches that should have been fixed years ago but instead they built useless CQ crap....I probably won't rage quit again and I'll be here until the big crunch or the stars burn themselves out. |

Was drawn to it for a long while - adverts/gaming press, but avoided it because of the overwhelming commitment I thought it needed. I signed up in 2008 when I decided I liked the subscription & lack of micro-transaction model, it seemed like a mature option without the teenage nonsense that some other games/mmo's seem to crave.
I accept that EVE needs to change and I'll probably leave if game content costs cash rather than isk, even if it's only vanity - frankly vanity is game content! Fortunately the PLEX/microplex for account services and in-game generated isk route seems sensible and perfectly acceptable. I could happily spend triple the subscription cost every month on extra content if I thought I was adding to the sandbox!
I've tried most of what I think EVE has to offer and I know I've barely scratched the surface. The best part is that it's continually growing and developing so the potential is immense.
Fantastic game  |

was playing Jumpgate (jossh.com) at the time, and folks were all abuzz about the eve beta. Sometime late 2002 I joined the beta, and haven't looked back since.

Met someone in Saga of Ryzom, who was taking a break from EVE (Amarrian pilot) at the beginning of 2005. I was still enjoying the Saga of Ryzom at the time so did not try EVE until about Sept 2005. |

Escape Velocity Nova had recently been released. I was an avid fan of the series. Unfortunately it's only a single player game. I commented to a good friend that I wish there was a multiplayer Escape Velocity. He mentioned I should check out EVE Online.
That was in first half of 2006 as I recall.

Friends talking about the sudden takedown on BoB from Delve. I started playing then. A week later I was tooling around the PR- hellcamp in my terribly fit Vexor. |

For me it's about SF thing. While I play many other games, SF and space games have special place in my heart.
I've played Elite on 8bit computers, then Frontier on 16bit computers (Amiga), then many other space games in my long gaming history. I've heard about EVE when it was released, but for many years... clicking in space instead of flying ships... watching excel tables instead of having visual indicators (visual scanner, visual overview and so on) kept me from installing and trying it.
Then in 2009. I've decided to give it a go, mainly to expand my knowledge of game industry / development.
Oh, how I fell in love with EVE complexity... and I'm still here.
And you know what, I still hate it for excel like overview - directional scanner, clicking in space to fly ships and local as intel tool.
But you know what, there is constant evolution in gaming industry. Someday perhaps.

me and a few flat mates of the same course decided when we were in university to play together an MMO. So in summer we began seaching for an MMO from site that advertise MMOs with description and what attracted us initialy was the graphics.
We did not knew much what were doing back then. I was fiting caldari ships wih armor reppers XD. We were doing too much mininig and misioning at the start. We could hear "stories" of capitals but never saw much. We didnt even see a carrier back then. We had zero knowledge of mechanics and we didnt join any corporations.
One thing i felt was like there was not enough information back then about the game. There was very little videos of eve even in youtube back then. This was in 2004 or early 2005(i think).
After three months we gave up. A year after i decided to give it a try and here I am still. This time when i came back to the game i joined a corp and things changed completelly and i was hooked with the adventure and friends i made. That was many years ago  .

I had casually played UO and was looking for another MMO, so I looked around and found a post on some forum made by some ex UO player who said how great Eve was.
Gave it a try (early 2004 I think) and quit during the trial - however it left a lasting impressions and so I came back a couple of months later and stuck around since then.
There simply never was an alternative - games like WoW never caught my interest and I never bothered enough with them to even ever install a Trial.
You know... morons. |
