Spreadsheets and spaceships in space. You can do anything, kill anyone you want, skills train in real-time, player-run economy, almost every ship is another player, everything is player-created.

Economic PVP

You can't kill station traders, spammers, scammers etc.

You can kill them financially, but that's a different discussion.

EVE = The only MMO worth playing for any considerable amount of time.

The only game that, at least in my experience, gives an actual sense of achievement due to the potential of loss.

A game that makes excel fun, kind of.

A game in which you can ATTEMPT to do whatever you want within a set of game mechanics. Conversely, a game in which you can attempt to deny others from doing what they want to do.

A game lacking in "content". At least of the non player driven variety. That could be a good or bad thing, I don't know.

The best in game economy, by far, of any game I've ever heard of.

There's more but that will do for now.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

No, but with a little deviousness, study, and good timing, you can still wreck their day. Economic ganking is just harder to do, is all. Blink

Eve Online is a place where the best, and the worst, elements of RL society can try to interact, with very few rules. It is not a place where I would bring a friend, or expect to make a new friend.

EVE Online is the drawer you keep smashing your **** in, and keep comming back to.

Now with 100% less Troll.

if they have never played an MMO, and you are writing a paper, you would have to explain what an MMO is supposed to be before even getting into EVE.

Then you can add internet spaceships.

Freud would loose his Latin with eve. He would probably get wacko after reading GD.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

A political sandbox in a persistent single-shard universe with emphasis on trust-issues and hypercapitalism, and a space-setting.

A set of spikey handcuffs you can't get out of yet everytime you struggle you get a dose of endorphins making you struggle less.

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.
