I tried it. I hate it. It's more work than game.

Yeah the learning curve in that game is a motherfucker.

I play it with three accounts, Internet Knight being my main. Been playing it for years.

The learning curve sucks, if you join a company people will help you out but the game is still more work than fun, at least for me.

I remember playing WingCommader with WC: Privateer being my favorite game of all time. I wish they made a main stream MMO with live action and EVE depth.

I started playing it about a year ago because I could afk mine while working. Now I'm running two accounts with my main (Thinger) in a corp which resides in 0.0 This game will make you "HTFU"

Can you explain to me, if you can, what the game is really about? I did not get it when I tried it. Is it all about having the biggest baddest ship, pvp, owning territory, the biggest guild/corporation?

Elaboration is in order!

rabbit · May 28, 2010, 05:06 PM

EVE is all about having the biggest baddest ship, pvp, owning territory, and being in/leading the biggest guild/corporation.

Thing · May 28, 2010, 10:04 PM

It's an unforgiving pvp mmo that's all about what you mentioned plus a lot more. Really the only way to describe it is to play it ... unless you want to read a wall of text.

I carry my CEO's corpse around and sexually violate it every chance I get.

Privateer Gold is a pure re-make of the original WC: Privateer. Privateer was a side story not relating to the numbered WC games. It was an open ended game. IMO it's the best WC based game ever made. The second best open ended flight sim is Freelancer (same people made it after they left Origin/EA).
