Hey,

I am playing WoW for the last 1 year and half, and had played EVE for 1 year before that. From my experience, I can say that, while WoW is a mainstream game, EVE aims a very specific niche of players; players who have a lot of time, who can deal with ambiguity, and who have an abstract way of thinking. On the other hand, WoW is more hands on, more action oriented and visually more

I had, at one time, 3 Eve account (a MUST HAVE deal with Eve if you're serious, multiple accounts!) I eventually sold 1 (legally) and parred down to 2. I built things, I LOVED building things.

Thanks for stopping by Anon, I appreciate your comments as a seasoned EVE player. You make a lot of valid points that I had every intention of exploring during my test drive of EVE. Let me see if I can respond to the major issues you bring up:

Wow. i have to say that i am shocked you think so little of EVE. i have been playing it for quite a long time in tandem with WoW, and the two are indeed VERY different in style.

Now first of i agree that EVE has an extreme learning curve, some call it suicidal. i don't know if you've already stumbled upon this picture, but i almost have to show you :)

Thank you for your insights into the game - I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I really wasn't sure how much of my experience was relevant to the long term play, so it's nice to hear that I wasn't totally offbase. It's just unfortunate that a game with such an interesting crafting system was lacking in a strong PVE game to attract the players who would most

Having recently 'hung up my hat' in Eve Online myself, after 4.5 yrs of dedicated game play and over 60-million skill points learned - mostly in Industry & Science, and Spaceship Command/Missile tech, I have to say that your five days in, mirror my own experiences and disappointments.

I've experienced it all, and it all boils down to supporting an pvp-centric game style
