What is EVE?

Over recent months I have heard it desribed as:

'The best MMO ever...'
'An interactive screensaver'
'Somewhere to vent one's RL frustrations...'

Well, after having an interest in the game for several months I have decided to finally 'take the plunge' and find out for myself... It could be fun!

So, 'Cash Flow For Capsuleers (1 of 10)'... Here I go!

All this clone/gene technology... Why am I still ginger!?

It's the game where you either quit after one week , preferably after writing a rage post about losing your drake to ewil piwates. Or you become so addicted to it that you will play it for years , try to stop , come back anyway because nothing else gives you that Eve experience , rinse & repeat.

Pretty much this. I get a little fed up of Eve fairly frequently and go in search of another game to fill the void. But there is no other game that will fill the void left by Eve.

You'll love it, you'll hate it, you'll hate the devs, you'll love the devs, you'll rage quit, then come back! You'll be swept up in excitement, you'll want to gouge your eyes out of your skull from the tedium or boredom.

It is exactly what you make of it, no less, no more.

If you like to patch every other day then it's the place to be, other than that it's a crap ;)

In my experience Eve is where highly educated people go to accomplish something "real" in their lives. Which I find very funny. Being a game and all.

Eve is a game where you lose stuff to bugs and never get it back.

Sometimes lag will allow you to overcome a bug and keep your stuff, but not very often.

"At best, EVE is like speeding around in a stolen Pinto... vintage cannonball cannon ducttaped to the roof... your arm around the shoulders of a dead hooker... and 20 guys armed with frying pans chasing you down on vespas. At worst... it's EXCEL spreadsheets in space."

EVE IS:

...Spreadsheets Online

...Full of backstabbing sociopaths

...A boring market simulator

...The best PvP game ever

...Skillpoints online

...Wallets online

...Pay to win

...The only game that has gotten RMT right so far

...Dying

...Growing constantly

...Nothing but empire carebears fueling nullbear wars

...A game where you can make your own way and do as you will in the most extensive sandbox universe around

...All of the above

...None of the above

...What you make of it

...Too hard

...Too easy

...Too slow

...Too fast

...etc. etc. etc.

Cool

"In EVE you, the new player, are an adorable golden haired child. You are released, alone but with a map, into a large wilderness park teeming with tens of thousands of rapacious pedophiles. If you are cunning, tenacious and lucky, you can eventually become one of the pedophiles."

And someone just stole your map.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

EVE online. I ******* hate this game so ******* much.

Which is why I love it.


(I like to think that EVE is a game made exclusively for masochistic people)
