Spent about an hour on it, its neat, its a huge huge universe, just didn't grab me. Sci-fiesque games have a hard time grabbing me.

But if you want to play a game where you can build skills while not being logged in at all Eve is a good way to go, that of course has it's pros and cons.

I found the interface extremely confusing.

It has a great economy though, essentially if you put something up for sale in one star system it can only be picked up in that star system. What this does is allow for local economies unlike those of WoW and even UO where everything is globally boring.

I say check it out, its a free 14 day trial I think if you like it play it if you don't, don't.

I played the free trial first and quit, I thought I could skip the tutorials and found it confusing and boring.

Then I gave it another shot (on a different account, free trial time on first had ran out). Followed all the tutorials and checked things out bit by bit and asked for help in the rookie section when needed and to be honest it's not all that complicated.

The most complicated thing for me is actually choosing a type of ship class and profession to head towards. Although you can be whatever you want, or all professions, on one character it can take an extreme amount of time to achieve that.

The rest is pretty much straight forward once you have got through the tutorial. If you are considering playing Evemon, a free downloadable tool, that is third party i think, will help you out massively. It'll help you create training plans, if you want a ship but don't know how to get it it. It'll tell you what skills etc to train in order to fly that ship and also some recommended skills to have as well.

Tried it for a few weeks and got bored really fast. It's a fun game if you play with a group of friends, otherwise it's kind of hard to pick up on your own.

If they are still playing, give a shout out to The Gentleman's Club in Eve Online. I encountered those guys in a different game and joined their ranks. Most fun I have had in forever! :lol:

After hanging out with stuffy Elizabethan starched collar wearing, hail...how art thou type roleplayers on EA servers the company of beer swilling, trash talkin, hard gunning PKs from UO's old days was a blast!
