EVE is about the stories. Your own, and the ones you share with other players.

The more you play, the more you accumulate stories.

And guess what? You'll never lose those, ever.

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!

HEY, that's so unfair and totally untrue Cry I've also got OCD.

He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

We are eve.
it's about us and what we do to and for eachother that sets eve apart.


This - very much.
EVE is a real time social space simulation where everyone has a role to play. Even if it is as a target for empire gankers.
As in life - so in EVE. Most things are allowed, unlike other games. Some things are punishable even if allowed, if not by the police (in-game Concord) then by other players.

So - if you feel uncomfortable with the notion that "almost anything goes, and you may lose your stuff" - then Eve isn't a game for you. Personally it is this that make Eve worth playing.

Well, the purpose of EVE is to have as much fun as you can get while playing. It is a game after all

"Anyone who tries to tell you that EVE is just a game does not treat it as just a game but wants you to treat it as such."

Remember that whenever you have a bad day in EVE, the correct reponse is "Thank you CCP, may I please have another?"
