I’m not an Eve player, but I really enjoyed this piece.

Amazing stuff… I guess it can only happen in EVE Online.

Just Awesome, I wish I had the time to be a part of it. Of all the MMOs out there EVE is definatly the most appealing to me.
I used to play an old browser based “MMO” called Planetarion, which I found hugely addictive… too addictive. The politics, diplomacy, alliances and War campaigns really did transcend the page of text that showed what was happening.
MMOs are bad they are too fun, and demand too much time. I would play EVE with delight, but my will power is just strong enough to stop me.
I love stuff like this :)

I’m a former player of eve (one of the first player within eve too) – but I closed off my account a couple of months ago – mainly because eve ended up turning into a full time job, rather than a game – and the community is not what it used to be either – it’s now full of what eve players call “wow rejects” (people banned from wow – turning into other mmo, continuing to be stupid) – and in eve they can actually do somethings that litterally bothers people, yet are acceptable within the game (like bumping a ship, so it can not warp out, while npc’s destroy the ship, allowing them to get all the equipement, withou security penalty etc…) – imo, an exploit, but gm’s disagreed – however, several other people agreed and left with me –

Which is one of the real issues with eve – people exploiting are not “punished” as such (example the dev providing bpo’s) – in my books, that was a call for termination – and ban on whoever benefited directly (and knowingly) – instead, they ban the player reporting the issue ( ??? ) –

So yeah, eve’s nowhere near what it used to be – and the amount of players is what is killing it – it was way better when it was STILL a game – and not a second job you have to PAY for -

Another good review is this one: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/208-Eve-Online

I was lucky enough to start playing EVE at a late stage of the conflict but when I was either brave or intoxicated enough to take a trip into 0.0 space it was intresting to see how it was changing over time. I used to just fly around Period Basis aimlessly in the knowledge that I was safe due to a friendship within the BoB, but when the mercenery coalition took it, I went there and lasted about 20mins before I got blown up by their pilots. Yea it felt crappy but it is just a game, you can lose yourself in it without becoming to addicted to get hung up about online losses.

Yeah… Tau Ceti … and also it skipped out the more detailed facts about the Southern Alliances too, including IAC, however, I guess its sometimes easy to overlook the French! ;-) RedSwarm Federation for those reading this who don’t play EvE is made up of RED (Alliance), (Goon) SWARM and (Tau Ceti) FEDERATION.

You forgot everything about the “Federation” part of the RedSwarm Federation…
