Do you play it?

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

Thing

Yeah the learning curve in that game is a motherfucker.

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.

Thing

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?

Yes.
Grif: Yeah, and the people in the red states are mad because the people in the blue states are mean to them and want them to pay money for roads and schools instead of cool things like NASCAR and shotguns.  Also, there's something about ketchup in there.

Elaboration is in order!

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

Thing

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).
