What's neat to me in EVE is that when you run across another character, it's not necessarily immediately obvious how many skills that character has, or how they're distributed. Could be an expert at combat in that cheap little frigate. Could be a miner/trader in that battleship who can barely operate it. Not like "Ah, a level 44 mage, which means he definitely has abilities X, Y and Z." You also don't gain those skills by endlessly knitting sweaters or smashing goblins, so the person with less actual time to play throughout the week doesn't miss out because he's not farming/grinding. Additionally, I like that PvP has a risk factor to it, which adds to the excitement and cuts down on some of the cheesiness. Yeah, you just got an uber new ship, but can you afford to lose it? Nothing's invincible.

Anyhow, all these facets have potential drawbacks too. Boils down to what you like, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

Well as one of the developers commented during an interview, cant find the link atm. EVE is a niche MMORPG. Its not everyones cup of tea, but the people that do stay, stay long term. Thats why the playerbase has been growing albeit slowly for the last couple years. Its not meant to cater to a majority of gamers, but it seems for alot of people you either hate it or your sucked in.

Alternatively you can be entirely free of PvP if you stay out of 0.0 and live a life of only th occasional bit of grief when you have to go through one or two lower sec systems where pirates may go 'Yaaarr'

Bear in mind though, the highest rewards are in 0.0 and that is why you become so dependent on your Corp (guild).

2 years + of playing here and still I am finding new things to do, new ways to fly, new ways of making money, and new ways to kill :) BEST GAME EVER!

cool, you an atuk member?

I'm in mass :D

Aye - sure am - been a 1 corp man from the start (though script may have punted me for being inactive last month whilst doing holidays and crap :D )

And what Czar says is spot on folks, Eve is a hobby not a game! Feels like a lifelong one already!
