I was wondering, when I started playing Eve I had never heard about it before. My friend had been hooked from the beginning and he send me a trial through the buddy program... and now IÆm hooked! How was it for you guys, why did you start playing Eve?

A friend of mine had started playing EVE and eventually got me to try it. I ended up moving up the ranks of the corp he and another friend ran and now he's left EVE altogether, the other friend has left the corp and I'm the CEO! ______________________ 106 days and still a hijack virgin...

i remember some posts like this a year ago, it was interesting to hear that a majority of the early american players heard about the game from friends or searches on the internet. in north america at least there was very little (if any) noticeable advertising.
myself i don't think i would have never heard of this game, except 3 years ago i was at work and walked over to a co-worker to ask a tech question. he was sneakily running eve on a laptop next to his work computer. he began to answer my question, but then i cut him off in mid sentence ... "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?! OMG IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE!" he showed me a bit of the game then opened the map, my jaw hit the floor when i saw him orbit around 5000 star systems. that was it, i was hooked from that moment on. i left work early, picked up a few copies of the game, keep coming back;)

i started playing about 4 years ago or so. i was looking through a disc from pcgamer and i found this video of eve, so decided to signup for beta as the video reminded me of elite frontier 2 soo much.
hmm, never thought i would end up working for ccp back then

I played in the beta.
The game sucked, to be honest. Or at least it was pretty mediocre.
I went back to Earth and Beyond.
A year and a half later, I came back. I never left again.

Everytime I pick up a gamin mag in the US, seems like the cover is always WoW stuff. Course, WoW is a US game created in the US, Eve is not. If not for advertising, which is how I heard of eve plus the free trial, I still would not know about it. Personally I think the magazines are biased of only covering popular US games, not much else, altough I couldnt tell you why. |

I'd seen in advertised a bit ... I knew "of" an Eve Online, I just didn't know what it was. One of those mmmog things.
I was playing Freelancer and was going around in a group with 2 people i met there and got chatting. I was whinging about how the market system there doesn't change, and that after you reach level 34 you've done everything - got every ship, been to the monkey world, been to the robot world, killed the nomads and been a pirate or a hunter, and frankly, there's nothing left to do. They said I might like Eve online.
I play www.ogame.org and I visit www.ogametips.com, and it has an advert for Eve online. I remembered that and signed up via it.
That was last novemeber \o/

I was looking for a cool MMO to play. Went to mmorpg.com looked at some descriptions of different games and decided EVE was the one that suited my wishes best. And here I am now, for quite a long time.
And man, am I glad I decided to go for EVE instead of any hack/slash game like WoW or Guild Wars --- 49. Fares Hrym from the east / holding his shield the Mithgard-Worm / in mighty rage scatters the waves / screams the eagle his nib tears the dead / Naglfar loosens.

The free trial PC gamer did at the start of last year. Truth be told, I probably wouldn't have signed up if it wasn't for the excellent corp I got recruited into - I still play with most of it's members now I'm in RKK as we stick together like glue :).

www.scifi-meshes.com saw someone ran a thread there about a eve model. That's how I learned about it, but didn't feel like doing the beta, so went to play E&B, got bored there afterwhile and joined EVE a couple of months after release. Hooked ever since ( as much as real life allows it anyway ) ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

I was told the words "14 day free trial" and it was all downhill from there.
I'd heard about EvE a little from various forums I browse through, but up until recently, paying monthly for a game was just not an option.
Now it is, and my credit card loves me.

I wanted a game where I could have a navy that I could name [HE-MEN] His Eminence's Masculine Eunuch Navy, and then create a special forces division called [HYMEN] Honorable Yes-Men of the Eunuch Navy.
needless to say, i got sidetracked by all the pretty things in cistuvaert.
but one day yet...

I started playing Eve in the beta. The reason was that my previous MMORPG, Ultima Online, had decided to seperate the combat from the industry people which ruined the game environment turning it into 'multi-player' game rather than a 'virtual world'.
Eve held true to the original UO vision and to this day there really are no MMORPG to compare and provide the 'sandbox' that I require.
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. |

Every Tuesday I go through Wal-Marts electronic section...look at the new games and seen Eve-online.
"Not another online game I said...never."
Then read what was on the box....(hint look at the sig)

I was thinking I wanted to try MMPORGs and wanted to do something other than fantasy. EVE was the only one around since E&B was closed down. Spent along time trying to get my head around things, all the different stats in the item database seemed overwhelming, and that was before even playing! _______
