I haven't gotten to play the game, but from the little I've seen, it appears to be rather similar to World of Warcraft (particularly in the play-screen layout and the overall style of gameplay).  Is this observation accurate, Mr. No-Longer-Bound-By-The-Non-Disclosure-Agreement, or is it... not accurate?

To get back on topic.

I didnt realise that WoW hade Realm V Realm Combat and was primarily aimed towards PvP.

Out of curiosity did you try joining a player run corp as i find EvE is a lot easier and more interesting as part of a groupe of close knit loyal friends.

Well anyway i hope you find a mmo you enjoy and i end this by saying, "Have fun".

P.S. it also helps to actually be a bit more descriptive.

If you own Medieval 2 then there is really no need to buy Warhammer:  Mark of Chaos, unless you are itching really hard for a fantasy strategy game

 

Warhammer: mark of chaos is essentially a heavily watered down version of the Total War games, which is a shame because the Warhammer lore should provide for great gameplay of that variety, but so far nobody has done anything extraordinary with the license.

Yea would be nice if they did that Warhammer has a lot of interesting lore to it that could make for some interesting tactical conumbrums such as the chaos wasts and the warp gate. Or the Dwarf Fortresses and the ogre warbands.

"250,000 people, one server"

 

There's not 250,000 people, there's 250,000 active accounts, and anyone who has played EVE know many people own 2 or more accounts, and that's not even including the farmers who probably run dozens each.

There's probably more like 50,000-100,000 real people playing EVE online.

CCP are liars A bit strong dont you think? , and they know it, yet they use it to advertise still.

First of all your partly right according to CCP's In-game Finance Dev the current percentage of those 250,000 accounts that are alts runs at about 19%.

Also your post could equally aply to WoW's claim of having 10,000,000. Point is all MMO's are like this its part of the nature of MMO's.

Let's be honest here about the fact that you cannot really achieve character improvement through commitment and dedication in EvE.

Getting somewhere skillwise takes long and requires patience. EvE is a lot less addictive than most other MMOs around. You can't boost yourself by grinding mobs/raidbosses/dungeons 24/7, and even the things you can achieve take a LOT longer than in any other modern MMO. Or like an online-guide put it unwillingly  "You might want to take a month off after reaching level 3 missions to max out your learning skills"

In other games you can reach maxlevel and some high end gear within this very month (and be bored with the whole game because you've seen everything there is within 3 months).

Plus, the PvP (and combat in general) is deep, complex and - mostly through the high stakes - exciting. But if you're looking for action packed "storm the front"-pvp, EvE does not provide at - all. So if someone's judging PvP by the rate of fast paced action and rewarding "boom headshot" moments, EvE's a perfect F.

I'm not putting any form of PvP or game style over another, I just want to state that everyone complaing about "EvEs bland PvP" is very right, and very wrong. It depends extremely on what one is expecting from videogame combat.

Meridion

PS Don't make a mistake and underestimate fast paced combat, e.g. in World of Warcraft or any FPS of your choice. Though armies of people say "lol if i played as much as mr nolife there I'd pwn just as much" - untrue. There is such a thing as talent in fast paced videogames, reaction, improvisation, etc., just as there is talent in logic (which probably comes in handy while playing EvE)

Yea i agree its a matter of taste really some will like EvE's slower paced game play with brief spurts of heart pounding action, And some will prefer a faster paced game like Everquest 2 or WoW for example.

In the end as long as everyone is enjoying there chosen MMO i dont think it really matters.

Horizons - tried this briefly, long download time for a game thats so full of performance bugs.

WoW - It was the community and dated graphics that did it for me.

Neocron - The community and the graphics were what did it here too especially the scenery as it was all different shades of brown.

Guildwars - Not a true MMO and the community was disgusting.

Second Life - It would be easier to list what was good about this one [ the fact its easy to uninstall].

So will DX10 magically fix most of the bugs in AOC and add more content in the higher levels then?

Sarcasm off/

A PR stunt nothing more as its well known graphics are not the only problem with this game.

We're such evil Americans for wanting people to play by the rules, I know, were just mean.

Prove they are not playing by the rules then.

It is so sad that America lost to the Chinese, afterall compared to the Chinese performance in that match America was clearly better at Gymnastics.

China MUST be cheating to beat the pure and free Americans.

Sarcasm off/

Just accept that you lost you have no way of proving they were of the wrong age groupe so why wast your time crying over this loss.

Bad idea for Georgia to attack Ossetia. I guess they thought Russia would sit back and not do anything.

You Hawks forget to mention that Ossetian insurgents were raiding Georgian border villages killing patrolling soldiers and Civillians at the behest of Moscow before Georgia attacked Ossetia.

Quoting something from the Sun is worse than the attention whores =).

It's arguably the worst paper in Europe.

Try reading the STAR or the Daily Sport.

Hmm....a real twist in the resolution of the issue.  All the folks who slammed the OP owe him a what???

An apology.

And for those folks ill-informed about what CCP does to people who buy ISK from sources outside the official channels?  Take it from one who knows first hand, no bans, no suspensions, they just take the ISK away from you.  They don't even fine you or anything.

Sure it sucks to lose it, but hey, I had it for almost a year before they caught up to me and it served as the seed money to get me started in the game. 

No regrets

 

Err he was foolish enough to report himself as an Spammer [presumebly an Isk spammer].

Word of warning to those playing EvE or those contemplating playing EvE:

 

Don't petition about ISK Spam.  Disregard the fact that it has it's own section in the Petition window (under Rules and Policies).

 

Just - don't do it.  You WILL get banned for a "EULA violation.

 

How do I know?  Did it last night (08/12/08) and got a ban for a EULA violation.  Seriously.  No reason given.  Just poof! - 2 years worht of playing out the window.  And, with the provisions in the EvE TOS, there's really no recourse.  Contact their support department, and wait the average of 4 MONTHS it takes for them to respond, or just give it up and go elsewhere.  Not exactly good customer support, by US standards - guess the standards are different over where CCP operates.

Again - don't bother the GMs or you chance losing everything you put into EvE.

 

If true im betting there is more to this than he is saying.
