Instead we get an AAR of some meaningless battle.   I want my 2 minutes of life back!

writer is a goon, what more could you have expected from that article..

 White Tree isn't a goon!  The writing alone should have been clue enough that a goon didn't write it.  It's to well written.

And lol at the guy who thinks the events in the article are meaningless.  It effects thousands of people, some in a very significant way, or would have been had a station been lost.  Losing a capital ship is extremely meaningful, on both sides. 

Now what did I read someone say about Eve the other day? Something like "intellectual masturbation while looking at spreadsheets with a space wallpaper". Thought it was quite apt.

Luckily I was like this before I played EVE Online!

And yes, I'm not a member of Goonswarm but I did participate in VFK. It was the most pressing and immediate event in the game with regards to the motions of the monstrous blocks that the game is famous for.

Don't worry folks, I'll be writting about much more in the future. Thankyou for the reads and the welcome to the MMORPG.com community!

I really WAS there! Good times. ALPHA FLEET FOREVA!!!!

eve is quite a unique game, i only wish there was a fantasy genre mmo which resembled EvE

not big on spaceships :P

Heh. Nice to see CCP are making steady progress turning the CSM into an instrument of advocacy .

good read. ive recently just started playing EVE again and this is a side of the game i still have not experienced. im gonna do it one day though

Very fun article that was well written. I look forward to more.

I also look forward to laughing at the bitter vets and ex-EVE players who post negative comments. Keep'em coming guys. It's always entertaining to read posts from people who can't let go of a game that they hate.

I'm actually playing EQ2 right now, heh.

EvE does sound worthy of being called epic. It's on my very short list of games to try soon.

Not a Goon, but part of the Clusterf**k coalition.

Very fun times and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was part of an event that put a lasting effect on a game.

I have not played EVE in ahwile. But it seems that it has become a pollitical MMO? if so Why? If I am wrong I do apolagize. It just seems that games are just that are ment to be fun. I guess Drama in a MMO is fun for some?

 

Really?  I'll bite.

It's called player made content.  The devs at CCP have given players the tools to make their own content.  By your statement I am pretty you never played Eve, or you would probably know this.

Anyways......I was there!  Momentarily at least. 

Articles like this make me excited to try eve online, but then I look at how much time it would take to sit & learn enought to give it a red hot go and my excitement soon fades unfortunately.

Maybe one day.

as a person who witnessed a lot of this firsthand (first as a member of -42- which didnt survive the fade/pb fubar and now as a member in a clusterf*ck coalition alliance) i thought it was a pretty good read.

keep em up Tree and remember, haters gonna hate.

great writeup WhiteTree, makes me proud to play this game :)

Darkfall Online - Although its going through a peroid of re-lease with Darkfall 2.0 due soon. But yea its Eve Online in a World of Warcraft style world where players control city's and hamlets and build them up with resources and fight over with other massive alliances. Iv been in battles in Darkfall that were 300 vs 300, absolutly insain, too bad that game died off within 6 months to small 75 vs 75 battles but hopefully its re-release will bring that game back early next year.

Graphics are not much to go by, buts it is the gameplay that counts. New graphics are to be updated in Darkfall 2.0

remember the magic words to trying eve for the first time: 

magic word 1) patience

magic word 2) research

magic word(s) 3 ) Eve University

not necessarily in that order...

have been playing eve  for 3 years and can say that eve is not so good as it was in the beginning.It was fun, it was freedom. now all is gone.  it is not a sandbox anymore. guess ccp wants to make wow in space.

Because CCP knows that in order to compete with ToR they better make the first move.

Unfortunatly lag was probably the winner in the end. 0.0 is so f**ked with the 200 man super blobs, retarded lag, and the lame east Vs west powerblocks. Mine as well call Cluster F**k "The horde", and Drone Russians "The Alliance".
