Easily the current best Massively Multiplayer game out there, and has been for a while. This is one of the few of the genre left that rewards patience, determination, knowledge and skill over just showing up, paying your money and having a brain stem. You won't find your typical WoW player here; they couldn't hack it. The learning curve is steep - expect lots of reading and figuring out technical operations of your ship and the player-driven economy - but it's well worth it.


Beautiful game, very well done, with an interesting back story.

The player versus player is brutal and no one will help you other than the local Security forces if you get in a fight - and if you start one in the wrong sector, they'll finish it. . Overall I can't recommend this game more.

EVE: One of the few MMO to not go full welfare and to continue to be challenging, innovative and expansive.

Anyone can play. All you have to do is be ready to learn, have patience and be interested. Make sure you bookmark some of the suggested resources from the Community section. You will need all the help you can get - but that is what makes it so very rewarding to play.

One last thing: Ignore the messages in the local chat about 1 million free ISK for clicking a link. You can do that yourself, with a second FREE account and have both get the rewards. If you do it through an ingame link, the spammer whose link you click will get rewards every time you do anything involving real money. You can get those rewards yourself simply by making a second free account from the EVE site (dont do it through Steam - they will be connected and it wont work), and giving yourself the referral.

Good luck, capsuleer!

10/10 - the only game I have ever rated as perfect.

Edit: Now, with EVE Vanguard, you can become an operative on the ground on the planets of New Eden! If this game doesn't look like it is for you and you are more action oriented, come support the industrial and military titans of the galaxy as a special agent and soldier in the corpo and tribal wars of EVE: Vanguard! Your efforts will be rewarded by and reward the capsuleers of New Eden playing EVE. You on the ground, us in the skies. The possibilities with this game only get bigger every day.
