I like to mine with one account and then gank him with the other account.
I figure this way it is a win win situation

I play EvE because i love sandbox mmo's. This game is special, ruthless and hard, it has not been corrupted with the new trend of online gaming.


EvE is truly the last of his kind.

Shiny ships and missiles. That is all.

So close...

Because it's the smartest MMO around. And it's cheaper than going to bars every night.

Because its a beautiful environment, its space and its fun to build up something with friends (pos, etc.). Its also not a linear go do this, go do that game like most MMO's.

I play EVE, because ...

... it's independend in content (not derived from any cartoon, film, book, whatever ...)
... actions have conseqences (for example no instant respawn after death with only some minor damage to your equipment)
... you have many coices, what to do (if you don't want PvP on a certain day, you are free to do other activities ingame)
... everyone can be usefull, even a newbie ( ... no, not being meant as victim)
... no "instant-lvl-80-chars" because of "power-gaming" (therefore casual players have aproximatelly the same opportunities like "power gamers")
... you can't gain everything, you have to prioritise your goals
... it has player driven content and goals
... it has CAPTAINS QUARTER as primary stage to WiS Big smile
... it is sciene fiction
... it is not hyped by the press
... well ... in one sentence : ... it has so many nice properties united in one game!

Because I like Sci-FI and MMO gameplay.
Also the lore is really interesting and I love the fact it's actually hard! I left last summer after the Incarna fiasco and tried to play SWTOR when it came out. I loved the story and my character in SWTOR but it was so damn easy! I didn't have to think at all, EVE makes me think constantly.

The graphics. Also, a chance at making a difference in PvP, but I might be able to get my fix for that with GW2's WvWvW (which feels similar to DAoC's RvR, which I loved). I also like the EVE universe/lore and the "flavor" of each faction, as well as the player freedom, of course.
