EVE Online

It's looks amazing, I'm wondering if anyone has played or plays it and what your thoughts are.

I got bored of the game after about 10 minutes... It's a beautiful game, but it seemed to mostly be flying around while my skills levelled themselves completely independantly of anything I was doing at the time, and that seemed silly and dull.

Plus everybody I know plays WoW.

mmorpg.com actually gave it a higher rating than WoW.
like every other MMO it probably takes a couple weeks to get past the boring novice learning curve.

i havent tried it myself, looks awesome, i just personally sore off all MMO's

I've been playing it for the past 5 hours and have BARELY even seen the surface of the game let alone pulled out a toothpick with which to stratch that surface. It's big... REALLY REALLY REALLY big. Think WoW times.... oooh a couple million.

I had to stop my head was getting fuzzy, too much stuff.

i've played it. it's very good, though it does get boring if you play by yourself. i especially love the skill system, but getting money can be a pain at times. there's so much to do, too. i should go back and get my advanced cruiser already; i miss pirating.

"so much to do" is right.

I'm going to start over and go through that massive tutorial all over so I can actually pay attention and not be overwhelmed as much... I hope.

The next big content release (Revelations) is towards the end of the month, with it, all newly created characters are believed to start off with almost 1million skillpoints. This saves over a months worth of training on all the basic skills.

The company that makes EVE, CCP, just merged with White Wolf. A move that has all sorts of interesting implications. (It's kind of an odd move, geographically, I have to say, what with CCP being based way off in northern Europe, and White Wolf being based, what, in Atlanta?)

Chief among them, for me, the fact that they will be making a World of Darkness MMORPG. Which I'd be even more excited about if it were likely to be the original, more interesting, World of Darkness, but still.
