    Bad Points: When I started EVE I would have put this in the GOOD POINTS column but ultimately (and my abandon 52mil sp char) it played out as a negative. This game has a real DEATH PENALTY. What does that mean? In most MMO's there is no downside. If you die you lose NOTHING. In EVE that is absolutely not true. If your ship is lost, it is lost. No go back in my ghost and get all my stuff back, Its GONE. Thats a real death penalty. If you have a decent cash flow you are making 20 mil an hour in game play. A nice Battleship, loaded out, is 200 mil. That means if you lose a Battleship, you are set back 10 hours of your life, double that for all the other noise in the game. (Defend you home system, recruit people to your corp, move stuff around). This means that armature players in the game are quickly weeded out. If you are a player like this you may looes and it is painful to get your stuff back. So amature players are eliminated from the game as far as I am concerned. But the downside is that GOOD griefiers are common. And if you, a non-griefer, non-pvp get gaked, to bad. You are out 10 hours of your life to recover.


    General comments: This game is based on physics. It is all math based in my opinion. Compare that to so many fantasy games that are based on imaginary races/environments/magic. It then all becomes a burden on the developer to make it all hang together in a a realistic way. EVE does not have that problem, they are based on the basics of physics. This make the game real and relives the dev's of having to invent all that. They focus on story and game balance.
    I played hard core EVE 3-12 hours a day for 3 solid years. I might have missed a total of 25 days over 3 years. I was addicted. I quit when I lost 3 engagements in one night due to my weak PC and OK network connection. What I lost in one night was going to take me nearly a month to recover. I realized I was not having fun, I was doing a job. I quit.

    The game is good in so many ways and you constantly learn a game for weekend gamers and all time gamers.

    I would not recommend Eve Online to a friend because I wouldn't see them for a couple of years until we had an intervention or something. I would recommend it or even buy it for someone I didn't like!

    The problem with this game is that it's really very good. So good that it can eat your life up. If you want the best from online gaming then this could well be it.

    The overall concept is excellent

    However, EVE Online is not working. From the point I signed on and got the game up and running I had one week that the game was working properly. Then the company had various up-grades? Patches - sever connections, new compter,and more patches.
    Each time sever failer, screens freezing up, right and left clicks that don't work, glitches in programs, default changes inside the game that were not disclosed - were happing more frequently. I lost three ships d ...

    EVE Online (www.eve-online.com) is at the moment the most popular online game. At peak times there are nearly 13,000 people online at once playing this game who all interact in a very large EVE universe.

    I will start by getting the graphics and sound of the way, as these are the least important thing in this game. The graphics are superb, a good framerate and some amazing lighting effects. The sound is what you expect from a space game, basic laser sounds, but has some very nice realisitic ba ...

    Where do I start with this review, because this game is MASSIVE!

    Well, let's start at the beginning. EVE is a Sci-fi based MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that is set in a new region of space that man colonized thousands of years ago, after finding a natural wormhole from their own region of space. Unfortunately, after a few decades the wormhole closed, stranding those that had already crossed into the new region of space and forcing them to find their own way of life. ...

    Been playing EVE Online for 3 months, and it is the best multiplayer game I have personally played. The game starts out a bit slow, but the reason is that you have to learn a lot before you become a real mover and shaker. The game is so deep and there are so many things you can do that it is simply amazing. Still today I am finding new stuff to do. The PVP combat is hardcore, but the nice thing is you don't have to do that if you don't want to. So if you are looking for an intelligent game t ...
