Out of Pod Experience

Actually, I think SWTOR is good for Eve. SWTOR offers the style of gameplay that will attract the kind of people that Eve can do without. Ironically, I did not re-sub to Eve until I tried out SWTOR in one of the late betas. After playing it for about 30 mins, I knew it lacked pretty much everything I wanted in a space MMO (and SWTOR really is not a space MMO. It is a scfi MMO, but space has very little to do with it). Not long after that, I got the email about Crucible, and here I am again, after about 6 years of having not even thought about the game, much less having played it.

Eve is more for the people who want the mindless click-click-level experience without much challenge. It actually probably appeals to casual gamers more than most other MMOs, it is that lacking in any real depth. You can't grind/power level in Eve. That alone will act as a filter for people who have been playing Eve waiting for something like SWTOR.

And let me just say, the one huge red flag I saw in SWTOR (and I have been told a lot of MMOs are like this these days) was that most of the loot that drops is completely irrelevant. It's only purpose is giving you something to sell. There is no other use for it How lazy is that?? Is that really how MMOs are these days? Last one I played before Eve was EQ.

i love you CCP

how can a comic kill a submarine simulator?

If you like little choice and being led by the nose than SWOR is for you. This is not the sandbox [limited as it was] that SWG was and does not lend its self to a long term limitless play style we have come to expect from EVE. The graphics are nice but I can live without the rehash of the same locked in story base and will keep on playing with the EMU SWG for a planet running diversion.

Thank you CCP for an engaging and interesting sandbox to play in and for not following everyone else keep up the good work

Having a life will kill all MMOs.

This this this, a thousand times this. I'll be playing Morrowind long after I've exhausted Skyrim.

Interesting read. They should have taken a closer look at eve imo.

That pic makes me very sad, I miss Stevie_SG.

Still, it's good to see her having fun... and looking good doing it.

It has pretty much decimated the corp (sic) my "main" (sic) is in.
Not really an Earth-shattering loss since it was little more than a chat client with spaceships.
The few who still log in have set up a SWTOR guild and report the others are there waiting and ready.

I'm going to hold out until I have conclusive proof SWTOR is more than WOW with light-sabers.
