In the latest issue PC Gamer June 2014, EVE was awarded title of best game ever on the PC.
See screenshot here
This beat off other notable MMOs such as (apologies for mentioning) World Of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2 and even Final Fantasy XIV.
Quite a feat in one of the most popular gaming mags read today. Expect new subs to surge!! |

EVE sure is a great game.
A virtual world where we can all escape to and forget our real life worries for a few hours each day.
Congrats CCP! Thank you for creating a game that I really enjoy playing and being a part of.
Now get back to sorting out those tooltips for us. . |

This is a great acknowledgement. Congratulations to everyone past and present for doing your part in making this community and game such a huge success.
It speaks volumes about CCP and the player base.

OMG .. the new subs sprouting from this will result in more people demanding changes to EVE, more bittervet retaliation on the forums, more "sociopath" babbling of carebears, more "tear harvesting" of gankers and scammers, all of which will cause the death of EVE!!!1
On a more serious note: I'm surprised, but it's nice to see the game featured in such a way :) |

Those listings have been in every issue. EVE has always been in the top 5 for MMO's - except for 2 months ago when Rust was made number 1 and EVE dropped out altogether.
PC Gamer is a good magazine I have been getting it for many years . I know that they even have a PC Gamer Corporation too.
They used to include a DVD with drivers and demos on it but have now gone to codes for things - either a free game or upgrades for pay to win games such as WoT.
It is good to see EVE at the top where it should remain! That Blizzard game was number 1 for so many years - its good to knock it off its perch.
My friend came in my house the other night whilst i was playing EVE and his and his mates opinion was "it looks too hard" and " this looks complex" to which I said download the free demo and strap yourselves in. I offered to send them ISK to get started too. They haven't taken it up yet though.... Maybe if we had magical ponies and mohawk grenades..... who knows!
I love EVE. It is an amazing experience - its scope is mind boggling, Whether you choose to mission in hi sec, become an Industrial magnate, a slick trader, a Naval commander, a bounty hunter, a pirate, a smuggler, a null sec dweller or a Worm Hole explorer it all leads to an immersive trip that can not be rivalled by any other current game.
CCP you are doing a good job and laid solid foundations - now push on and take us further!

Makes sense. For a game to survive as long as EvE has with a lean player base, according to 'industry standards', indicates a very strong game. No matter the complaints people can make about EvE the game delivers a whole lot of gaming options and diversity. Add in the single Universe and the fact that everyone plays the game affects each other, no mater how minutely, EvE should be number one for a long time.

Yeah, but how about the new threat from Elite (Dangerous). Many of us veterans remember the original which probably inspired Eve? I can see a real challenge there and even X3-Reunion is getting an overhaul.

The X series overhauled itself into an early grave with the risable Rebirth
Braben has promised E:D will "Solve everything thats with with Eve Online".
Which means it will suck ass.

Where did Braben say that?

I think it sucks they tell people things like this. Because all it will do is bring in more people that want it to be just like the game they left behind.

I don't think you know how to use "and even". Normally you put the one LEAST likely to meet that condition, and you put the one MOST likely.
Should have been "Final Fantasy XIV, Guild wars 2, and EVEN World of Warcraft.

All those new subs, sort of like that massive surge after the B-R free publicity? Look at the PCU now. Note how the numbers are now lower than BEFORE B-R.
But I am sure there is zero correlation between the PCU and the actual subs. Besides, we can always go to the % of votes cast and the total votes cast in the past CSM "election" to figure out...oh wait.

Eve is the only MMO I've ever even tried a demo of, much less subscribed to. So the only way I can compare it to other games is to say Eve is the only one that's worth my time. |

Logins always drop slightly just before a major expansion. There were 46k logged in last Sunday, looks pretty healthy for this time of year.
You can keep pulling numbers out to try support your arguments, doesn't make them any less hilarious. Fingers crossed the zombies wake up in Summer and start mass unsubbing in rage over the highsec apocalypse eh. You should go warn them with a sammich board in Jita TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |
