EVE is a great game, with a passionate and dedicated playerbase who creates their own narrative.

5 years down the road still loving it. Only wish I had more time for playing.

OP, hope this helps.

So true. Like every game it has it's ups, downs, flaws chin dribbling retards and even controversy but there's simply so much to do in Eve it would be hard to get bored of if you're an adventurous soul. Plus Eve is always changing and evolving with something new waiting not so far ahead; this is why Eve will continue to be popular.

Here is a megathread that will hopefully become a megathread with all of the things from the trailers that lured you here, only to greet you with disappointment. Seeing as I'm the OP (obviously, duh), I'll start first. Continue adding said disappointments to this list.

Null-security space - expectation

A scary, lawless place for the meanest, leanest players out there! Danger lurks in every corner here, and massive, thousand-man fleets clash in epic battles and skirmishes that resketch the borders of player-owned empires!

Reality - although thousand-man fleet battles do happen, null is a stagnant, boring part of space. Only key entry systems are ever camped by pirates, the rest being filled with small mining barge flocks that fuel the massive industrial machine of New Eden. Wars take place under the strategy of a cold war between a few power blocs and minor border skirmishes.


Continue the list!

adding on to what you said

Low sec - Expectation

A semi-lawless area of space for 1 v 1 and small group fights. bit like the wild west with a bit of danger day to day. but safer than null

Reality - where you find most PvPers and large groups. not to mention gate camps. not anything like the wild west. more like no mans land in a trench war. (its ironic, but Null sec is safer to live in than low sec. like ALOT safer)


High Sec - Expectation

Law enforced space with the occasional suicidal ganker, or the very rare war enemy chasing you.


Reality - God help you if your not in a NPC corp. going near Jita will land you 3-6 war decs for no reason other than making PvP legal in high sec. Major Trade Hubs are so majorly swarmed by these War spammers that you need to use a NPC corp alt to get in and out of the trade hub.

and these war decs are continually renewed (my 1 person corp alt is a ratter 6 jumps from jita. she went to jita once to drop off the rat loot. and got 4 war decs. 3 months later, 2 of those war decs are still being renewed. despite the fact she hasn't left her home system since the war decs were first declared. and wasn't even online for 2 of those months.

I have expected a bar with shops in stations, and a huuge planning room with galaxy map, visiting other characters CQ. I am dissapointed in that area of interest.
