Was reading Penny-Arcade and an Ad flashed on a banner.
I had alwaysed wanted to play a MMO but didn't want to start with WOW.
Eve had space ships and it looksed awesome!
I joined back in the good old days of Bloodlines (Red Moon Rising) back when EVE was more fun and only had 8,000 people on a Sunday.

The difference between a Pirate and an Anti-Pirate is that an Anti-Pirate fights ships fitted with guns!

Was searching through some freelancer info and found a eve-o ad.
After a trial I didn't get the hang of it all.
A year later for some reason I rememberd eve-o again wile checking some sites and downloaded it to have another go, been hooked ever since. |

Knew a few people in my FPS clan who played EVE on the side and a few people in RL as well, I set a date for me to start since I'm pretty busy in RL and then I got a trial - stuck with since this past summer and recently started a second account too  |

had heard about it when it was in beta, and had a few guild mates from EnB tell me i shoudl try eve--i didnt, because i was MASSIVLY addicted to EnB (several 150's).. then, about a year later, when EnB announced its death (which i adamantly denied for months was coming)... i clsed the account, never to even see my 2 years of work (12 hours a day)..
went to the store lookin for a new game... saw eve on the shelf (had seen it before, it was sitting there for ages.. had even been marked down, AND i used a 15% off cupon as well)... got eve.. re-named my new character after the one i had in ENB..
and the rest... is history.

Spent nearly 3 years raid leading in WoW getting more frustrated at Blizzard nerfing the effort/reward ratio and the non-instanced "PvP". Started reminiscing on the old Elite game when a hunter told me about EvE and his days fighting the Stain/Curse wars.
The rest is history I suppose. I deleted my WoW toons 2 days in my trial and subscribed. I meet quite a few WoW vets that, like me, would have never started playing WoW, if we knew about EvE. Pity I don't have as much time to dedicate to this game. |

I saw an article in a PC Powerplay mag about the development and anticipated launch of Eve Online and wanted to play as soon as I saw it. I have played this genre through from wire frame models on an Amstrad Sooo many years ago.
Was never able to bank roll a PC, connection and house till a couple years ago and still had trouble with moving and work.. Now I am finally able to play... after what more than 7-8 years or something crazy of wanting to play it.

It was a dark alley and I was chilled to the bone.
The man had a nice smile and invited me inside, if only to warm my hands by the fire.

He gave me a link.i signed up and dl'ed played for 12 days and subscribed and he helped me along the way. He eventually quit (both admins did). But The head admin came back and now is always on and ironically i can kick his ass now. |

Many Jumpgate players left JG for EvE. I decided to stay, but when the servers were closed, I tried out EvE. At first, I failed at the steep learning cliff, but 6 months later I gave it another try. Still playing today :] |

At the time, I was playing my first MMO = Guild Wars. But after a year, it was boring.
I was talking with one of my co-worker, about games, and I told him, that I was looking for some space game, and he mentioned EvE. He said, this is one of the games, where he is truly enjoying the music
The first week nothing happened, I still played GW. But then asked him, what was the game again? And he give me an URL to the Hungarian EvE site. At first I just read the forums, found a really inspiring Wikipedia entry.
Then I signed up. Made my first character, I had some basic knowledge, but I just clicked through the character creation fast.
3 years later I still play that old character. I haven't regretted the attributes what I used that time. :)

I discovered Eve because my closest friend told me to check it out, "it seemed really cool."
I tried it; tutorial took forever. Left. Tried it again, skipped the tutorial and went back to playing WoW. Tried it again and got addicted and now I can't get my closest friend to give the game a fair shake. |

I was reading a list of MMOs on Wikipedia based on
- User base
- Type
- PvPness
I was looking for a MMO that was more open and flexible than the one I was currently playing. I particularly liked the PvP anywhere/sandbox style of eve. |

From a coworker. I was looking for a new MMO to try after various free shard UO and RO tries. Tried Anarchy Online, was not for me. Went through all the free to play MMOs on MMORPG.com list. Did not like any of them.
Then a coworker in the same situation found EVE and the 14day trial, instant love affair with the game.
almost 4 years later I am writing this post ...

Slashdot
They probably had articles about this game that I skipped since it required Windows and I had excised Microsoft from my home.
I read about it again when Linux client gets released, ignored it again since I thought I had to pay for cedega to run it (as a good ./ reader didn't RTFA) 
Then the first days of 2008 ./ posts another EVE scam, I decide to RTFA and expend almost the whole day in the office scouring the intertubes for more info about this game. That night I downloaded the linux client, created this char and ...

I was playing Anarchy Online at the time, having been introduced to it by a colleague. I knew of MMOs already but Ultima Online and EQ didn't really appeal.
I read an article in Edge magazine in the UK about Eve Online and the massively multi-Elite theme was very appealing. The article went into great depth about how the nebula graphics were being created by dropping inks and oils into fish tanks if I recall correctly :). The images were really stunning to other games around at the time.
Finally got into the beta at one point, but was way too mining focussed then, so it slipped to the back of my mind. Found a copy for ś5 in the bargain bin in Game in mid 2004 pre Shiva expansion - as it was then - and stuck with it for a few months before work commitments took over for a while.
Ended up reading the GHSC article in PC Gamer and realised it had developed into what I always thought it had the potential to be - that was early 2006, been playing since then.
Sometimes I wish I'd stuck it out each time, could be sitting on 100mil sp char

From playing UO with friends who were *****ing that UO has turned into a hello kitty online. Then one of them said he was trying this game called Eve.

I've known about EVE since it released, but I had other priorities. I was playing WWII Online at the time, which was a neat game. Then I ran a NWN campaign for three years which sucked up all my gaming time. Got into WoW after that for a couple years, and when I tired of the simple game mechanics, I decided, finally, to try EVE. EVE impresses me quite a bit. Reminds me a little of UO for its sandbox type gameplay.

My journey through the MMOs has led me hereą
I started with World of Warcraft, and played that for about 3-4 months, levelling two characters to 60. Got bored of the repetitious raids and constant immaturity, and went over to City of Heroes and City of Villains. I had a blast over there for almost a year, had multiple accounts and my own Superhero Group. But eventually it became very repetitious, and the graphics started to get old for me. The lack of end game things to do when both your accounts are almost maxed out with high level toons, eventually had me go toą
ąEverquest 2! I played that for about 2 months, and it reminded me too much of WoW, so I left that forą Lord of the Rings online. I played that for a month, and started to get bored of the whole Fantasy genre, so I tried my first Sci Fi gameą
Tabula Rasa. I played that for a solid month and a half right from launch. The bugs in that game made it unplayable. Whole zones were so buggy, you couldnĘt play in them. The missions were bugged and couldnĘt be finished, or whole zones were so laggy that no one could do anything in them. Otherwise I liked the game. But I went back to Lord of the Rings Online, because Tabula Rasa was too buggy to play. I played Lord of the Rings Online for a solid 6 months before my account filled up with all level 50 characters, and multiple characters had full Rift gearą Then the boredom hit. I still have that lifetime account!!!
So then I stopped playing MMOs altogether for about 6 months, got tired of feeding MicrosoftĘs extremely poor operating systems and I bought an iMac. The iMac is amazing by the way. I was a PC owner for the last 20 years, and I have no regrets with the change.
But shortly after my purchase, the itch started happening againą I looked for an MMO for the iMac a few weeks ago (a program I didnĘt have to run buggy windows on with BootCamp or Parallels). My choices were WoW or Eve. I already knew what WoW was all about, and wasnĘt about to go back there, so I am currently trying Eve.
IĘve been disappointed with the Mac client to date, and though I am still new, IĘve really debated on quitting this game a few times because of the memory leaks, and mouse disappearing randomly while playingą
ąbut I am going to give it another month or so to see if the Premium client runs any better before I jump ship to something elseą I still have a PS3 aching to be played!
