- EVE online has been the greatest MMORPG experience so far! I have always been into fantasy games and never expected to love this game so much, for 2 years so far :P! I had played WoW for a couple of years, COH, L2.. did beta multiple mmorpg's. Eve online is the only MMORPG i tend to continue. There is so much you can do, join the market, do mission, explore and find complexes which carry lots of rewards, pvp as a pirate, pvp as an anti-pirate, pvp in competitive solar system, join huge alliances and fight in large fleets. so much more... build your own stations for your alliance/corporation, build a corp specifically for delivery and get paid for it too. i missed a handful of more features but that is for you to explore. Eve online isn't a solo game, you can't expect to do much alone, nobody flies alone unless they are very skilled. joining a corporation (guild for those into fantasy) is the best thing you can do, just join the recruitment chat channel (in game) and you will find a large variety of corporation, and each play a different part of the game. I guarantee that you will find people that will help you get started, you are not alone in this game, you will not be left out. One thing i love too.. is the freedom!!!! a realistic sci-fi, and soon will implement walking in stations!! Also i love the fact that you dont have to be online to upgrade your skills, CCP allows you to have a life :P. About this game being boring... its only boring for the people who are not patient enough to learn the game, give it a month or 2 and you will be loving it. If you find doing missions or mining boring, well go to PVP, pvp is the focus point of this game, and CCP is doing one hell of a good job!! thats my input. - Chinchek

- Eve on line has to be one of the greatest online experiences to date, but there is on big IF you like it. It's the kind of game you love or you love to hate. It's definitely geared toward the sci-fi geek market. If you loved Elite, Elite 2: Frontier, and Frontier: First Encounters you'll most likely love this game. If you've not played these games then well you’re insane! However there very dated these days but the game play was great (if you where a big sci-fi geek). I use the term geek instead of fan as there is a big difference (I’m guessing most people know what I’m getting at). If you loved films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dark Star and other 1970's style sci-fi you'll most likely like eve. If you’ve ever played the old table top RPG Traveller and loved it Eve is probably for you. It’s a relaxed passed game (until your in combat then it action packed) with very complex system of building and upgrading your ships with a huge range of skills that all add to your over all performance as a pilot. This is not a MMORPG for a light hearted player who just wants to jump into a space ship and start kicking ass, that’s not what eve is about. Outside of flying ships there are whole skill trees for commanding fleets and aiding members in your fleet. There are skills trees for managing & running corporations/businesses (Guilds/Traders). As well as a skill trees for researching, manufacturing, and mining. It’s a very in depth immersive MMORPG experience. It has to be the most realistic (if such a term can be applied to such a setting) Sci-Fi MMORPG’s to date, but this level of complexity can be it’s undoing. Despite having one of the largest game areas, the best part of an entire galaxy, it has one of the smallest communities in MMORPG terms. However this is made up by the fact there is only one server which in my view helps with the immersion into this futuristic world, as there is only one world and all people from all counties and walks of life play on it. The most people I’ve seen loged on at one time is about 42,000ish people, you might think this would lead to bad lag but as the game area is so huge you very rarely end up with too many people in one place to course unacceptable lag. Lag unfortunately is something all MMORPG’ers have to put up with on some level no matter the game. All in all I’d give Eve an 8.8 over all, it might not be to everyone’s tastes, but to thoughts that it does, you’ll never look back once you get logged on.

- I don't get why this game got such a high rating considering how boring it is.

- The new graphics are very good not that the old graphics engine wasn't good as well. The Music get very boring very quickly but you can turn it right down. the rest of the sounds are your generic shooting, warping sounds. There are role playing corps and huge area's of space are controlled by player corps/alliances. Even if your in a NPC run Corp there is plenty of other members to chat to, but the real fun is when you join the play run corps. If you avoid the Hub systems at peak times I've never experienced Lag apart from when engaged in fleet battle. The GM seem really quick and help-full.
