What can be said about EVE-ONLINE that hasn't been said a thousand times in the growing blogging community? .... its awesome..
Anyway, as my Inaugural post ... i will do my best to show you my best.
I have played them all , SWG pre AND post NGE (thats right, i stuck it out/went back) conan, wow, warcraft, UO, Rf online, Fury, Guildwars, Sword of the New World, auto assault, city of heroes / Villains, Tabula Rasa, Everquest I & II, Dungeon Runners, and probably a dozen more that i cant remember the names of. I have been playing MMO as long as MMO has existed from UO (second release) on, and i have found something to love in them all .. mostly. but EVE, i started in '05 and have NEVER doubted it, never left it (not really, though most people go inactive from time to time)
It takes a special kind of person to play EVE, One of the first things i learned about eve after i started, is that its not for everyone. Unlike mainstream MMO's which are all little more than WOW clones now, where any 6 year old can get the basics down in a few minutes and master the mechanics in a few minutes more.
Eve requires a special kind of player, a player must be willing to take their fun.. that's the difference, EVE you have to seize by the throat and make it give you what you want! while in the other games, "logging on" is enough to earn your right to the best loot and access to the cool places and all the "leet sauce" the game has to offer. But Eve, Eve is a commitment, a struggle, a dark world where someone elses fun may be at your expense, in fact it probably is. and you have either to seize the game back and take your fun.. or log out awash in tears and play wow till you feel better.
Eve is a harsh, dark world where the intelligence and wit of the other person, can be directly applied against you, which is why i love it.
