Edited by: Kweel Nakashyn on 03/02/2009 18:35:46 I was eagerly waiting for the release soon after finnishing X2 the Threat, since I was in a "scifi" mood. But I was student so rice packs, beers and internet connection were coming first on my budget. So I sticked with dice'n paper roleplaying games which were sort of free to play. Was trying to make money writing for them, btw (after 5 years of just playing Vampire the mascarade, the game I writted for was a halfdark baroque fantasy game : Agone from Multisim for those who knows it - it was translated in english and was quite well aclaimed by critics and it's still a great game).
I forgot Eve. Two years 1/2 ago, I had a job and a mmo hardcore fan said in my job "hey, I started playing Eve blablabla TCF blablabla huge fights blablabla deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep blablabla".
Here I came :) Fetchez la vache ! moar(tm) > soon(tm) \o/

First read reveiws back in 2003 in PC Gamer (uk) if i remember correctly and thought that looks great i would love to try it but at the time we had the worst dial-up connection every (plus i was 14 or 15 at the time) and to be honest was not completely sure on what an MMO entailed.
Then late 2004 there was a new reveiw and it got me thinking about it again and over the christmas holidays i spent alot of time over at a mates whose brother had just started playing and doing a load of RP stuff as a minmatar and i have to admit i was fairly facinated. Finally early 2005 there was a 14 day free trial on the PC Gamer cover disc and we got broadband \o/ so i signed up, got hooked in a few hours and have been playing ever since (give or take some time out for a gap year).
Got a second account within 6 months and now even have the girlfriend playing too *points back to post 138 on previous page* |

I was in a guild or whatever it was in E&B, moving around its few dozen systems looking for uncamped spawn points and grinding trade missions for xp.
Half the guild (or whatever) got into the Eve beta so I kept hearing about the vast expanses of space and the no-grind skills.
I ordered the box from Amazon (if I remember correctly) and IÆve been here since pretty much.
IÆm ashamed to say I let my subscription lapse for a while in Æ04 while I was playing SWG. To this day I think about the missed skill points I could have hadà
Been adding an account a year ever since to make up for lost time

I've fiorst played Anarchy Online, then tried two times in a year the EvE trial, but didn't get the point of it all. Then I started playing Star Wars Galaxies for a year and understood what are sandbox games/worlds, and the NGE hit. Then I tried EvE again and here I am ^^ |

Some site, gamespy i think posted some screens of the eve ship classes (frigate/cruiser) ect...from the different races, back around christmas 99.
Umm looks like, sounds like elite...
kept half an eye on the game for the next couple of years. Leading up to the release followed the beta reports posted over at blues, mixed opinions on the game made me unsure on buying/playing or not, nice sunny day a couple of weeks after release (feeling good day.. just do it) ... nearly 6 years later ______

Over 4 years ago me and a friend were talking about Freelancer and the conversation went over to EVE Online, he was bragging about owning 6 battleships and 600 mill isk at the time. Cuz of his awesome richness he offered me ISK if I tried out the trial. |

Edited by: Cybele Lanier on 03/02/2009 22:01:01 I was randomly drifting through links on Wikipedia, and started reading about nanomachines. The "grey goo scenario" entry had a link to "Doomsday Device". From there, there was a link to the EVE page, which I followed. As a fan of both Homeworld and Elite, an MMO is that style caught my interest. Then I accessed that picture of all the ships, with the HUGE Titans, and I was sold. |

I don't remember how I came across it, but I read that incredibly well-written story, I think it was by "Nightfreeze" or a similar name, about how he was a trader in early eve and ended up making a highly elaborate scam. It was such a great story that I just had to try this game where such things are actually possible. Well it will be 4 years in March, so CCP owes that guy about $720 by my estimation. |

Can't really remember completely how I stumbled upon EVE Online, I remember joining with a friend back in 2003 he stopped playing 5 months into it and I became totally hooked. I think it was my friend that found the game, glad he did. ^_^ |

I was brought to the game buy a friend who had played a trial or two and was playing it for fun. I got a trial, then bought my first GTC.
That was 1 year ago on the 14th, Valentines day! |

I don't know anymore how I got hold of the link, but I read the article about the GHSC heist. A game where stuff like that was possible sounded immensly more interesting than the shallow endgame of DaoC or WoW. I subscribed immediately after reading the forums a bit; chose minmatar because I wanted to be underdog ^-^ I have played quite a few games in the meantime, but I always come back to EvE. |

People were talking about it in the waning days of above, so I tried EVE out sometime in June or July 2003. Been hooked ever since. |

Originally by: Gazur Same.. The entire corp moved to eve when EA pulled the plug on EnB.
Still wonder sometimes how the EnB storyline would have continued...
This. I fell out of contact with my crew shortly therafter as most of them didn't find it entertaining enough to stay in game. |

I'd heard about EVE before WoW came out. WoW ran on the Mac, EVE didn't, so I played WoW for 5 years. Then EVE came out on the Mac, I quit WoW and here I am.
I might have to check the chronology, but I'm pretty sure I first heard about EVE on Slashdot, due to the T20 scandal. I figured that if one item in a game can matter that much, it must be a pretty cool universe to be playing in.
For some reason I originally thought that EVE was a base+fleet building type game similar to (for lack of a better example) StarCraft. Never realised it was more like Escape Velocity or Elite.

Edited by: Marlakh on 05/02/2009 05:01:11 I've always been into sci-fi themed games, books, etc. really enjoyed Elite, Privateer, Sundog (great classic), etc
I first saw the original boxed version at a computer shop in 2004. Didnt think much about it then (been paying for that mistake ever since). Played Earth and Beyond for a short while but didnt really get much out of it (strange looking stations and space graphics I thought).
Then, chanced upon the side advert while surfing the PC Gamer site. Downloaded the Eve Never Fades video, and that was what got me hooked . Never looked back since. |

Are you employed? Or just independently wealthy, and dislike travel to exotic destinations to spend the cash? Hence 10.5 Hours/Day EVE.
Just thinking about it, if I could have an extra 10 Hours/week of work I would be making extra 34k a year! Sure as hell would be better than EVE. |

EVE Online has a dedicated forum on a national gaming board I use...I had a look at a few pages and thought I would have a look. In their downloads section the Clear Skies movie was listed, so I downloaded and watched it.
After that I downloaded the EVE client, and haven't looked back since :D |
