Just so you know, a few of us are playing the trial of this over the next few weeks. If we like it, we may start playing it full time. Feel free to try it and maybe join us.

I'll stick to EverQuest II...

Eve Online is pwnage. It will outlive the others.

Too bad I can't use it except for the trial.

EverQuest Live will outlive the others

Eve will outlive Everquest.

That's very doubtful!

Hmm, they're completely different games, but I was expecting you to say something about Everquest. TBH, the level slog of EQ does not interest me at all. Eve's levelling is vastly different, it's interesting.

As is the levelling between EQ and EQ2...

Edit: Excludes self from this thread.

This thread is about Eve, anyway. The levelling in Eve is purely time based, you buy a skill (with money) and progress it with time (you tell it to progress).

Post your screenies of Eve!

Haven't got any yet. may get some later if I can be bothered.

Yar. Lets see some lasers.

The lasers aren't that impressive. Though I have got a destroyer now, haven't tried it out, yet.

Hang on a sec. I thought you were completely against paying to play for a game when you have already bought it.

Hmmmm?

Yeah, you got me there, I was... I kept looking for a cheap/free one... got bored, decided Eve looked interesting, got the trial. I'm not too keen on the fantasy style in general (Everquest) and the stuff I've heard about rat killing all the time...

I haven't killed a rat for weeks now.

It's the fact that you did...

OK, I killed a few rats, but not many at all. Not compared to the number of bears I've killed! You always have to kill a lot of enemies in general... There are hundreds/thousands of different enemies though so a nice load of variation, i.e.: it doesn't get as boring as traditional RPG's.

Still, in Eve you don't have to kill anything, just make money however you think is possible. Killing is a good method (missions and loot). Can also mine, make stuff etc. Skills simply work on a buy it then improve by telling it to and waiting. The wait time is affected by attributes, which are affected by your start and implants or certain skills.

Sounds over-rewarding to me.

OVER-rewarding?

It seems dull, boring and slow to me........

But then again, I like more action based stuff

It can be quite slow, but most MMOs are. However, I like that, as I can play it constantly without being a distraction. Combat can be quite hairy too, though it does lack a cockpit mode. However, if you think about it, most the ships are large, more like boats than aircraft, so first person doesn't really fit.

Me and Wigo found each other recently and started working together, was quite interesting, though Wigo got himself killed. I'm currently working up to get a battlecruiser (large capital like ship, slow but powerful, can also carry lots of drones [automated fighting machines]) from my current destroyer (moderately fast and armoured attack ship, lots of guns, useful for taking out smaller ships). You start with a frigate, a cheap, low powered all rounder ship and there are about 20 different types, going all the way up to Titans with doomsday weapons... Only about 10 people actually own those.

the reawakening of an old topic cause se no reason to make a new 1 lol
