DESCRIPTION

The second-generation massively multiplayer game EVE: Online begins in the distant future, in a place far away from Earth. Players take the roles of starship captains who chart their own destinies in the open reaches of outer space. The world of EVE was first colonized by humans who came through a wormhole to find themselves under a completely unfamiliar sky. The gate back home collapsed suddenly and violently, stranding the pioneers. Generations of structural and cultural development have since passed and the world is now inhabited by five distinct cultural groups.

These five main groups developed independently from one another, isolated by the destruction caused at the closing of the wormhole gates. Harsh conditions caused these peoples to develop differently, in terms of culture and even physical appearance, according to the different landscapes of their homelands. Even after expanding to make contact with one another, the five factions coexisted peacefully for many years. But now, with the development of faster-than-light technologies, the planet is seeming smaller and more crowded.

Gameplay takes place in a previously unexplored part of space, full of countless new solar systems. Players begin with a modest spaceship and the ability to harvest basic resources and trade with others. Profits can be used to improve the player's ship and equipment. Characters choose their own path to success in EVE. Some may build bigger, better-defended vessels for dangerous and highly profitable cargo runs. Others may choose to become pirates, preying on the weak and unworthy. Opportunities for to work as a smuggler, or even a bounty hunter may eventually present themselves to interested ship captains, encouraging each player to make decisions in character and enjoy (or suffer) the consequences. ~ T.J.

“EVE sounds like tons of fun, I need to get a better computer so I can run it properly. Isn't scamming a big part of EVE? Couldn't you have tipped someone else off about what was going on to further fill your wallet? Or are you not that type of person?

”

“Scamming unfortunately is considered to be a "legitimate form of income" and since CCP doesn't ban people for it, it does happen alot.
As far as tipping of someone else, I could have, but there's a few good reasons I didn't. The corporation (or guild, clan, whatever you want to call it) I'm in is composed mostly of friends of mine from real life, so not only would that have gotten me kicked out of our corp, but probably beaten by all of them as well lol. In addition, sure, I may have gotten loads of isk, but in the long run id make more by just doing what i was doing multiple times. If I got kicked out after that 1 time, I could spend months trying to get myself into another corp with the same kind of mining and stuff going on, ect. Theres more reasons, but those were the big 2 lol”

“I like the scamming aspect personally. It makes it seem more like an actual virtual world, more open to being like the real-world. Not that I would engage in it myself, I just like that its there.

I can see why you wouldn't want to betray your corp(and friends) though, probably a good call. ”

“Yeah, Eve is nice in that way. You can do just about anything in it. Scamming for the most part I don't mind too much either. In fact, i do a bit of it myself in 1 way or another... (Pirating people, charging them currency so I won't blow up their escape pod, then blowing them up anyways) =D
Its the Scams in Jita (The major trade hub in the game) that bug me. Mostly because all it is is thousands of messages in chat per minute saying they are selling something, only to link you to a similar item that's worth much less, or they'll add in a 0 to the price tag... so you think your getting a good deal, and don't notice that your paying 10 times more until after you accept the trade lol. You still gotta be really dumb to fall for them, but the fact that so many people are constantly trying to do it is what annoys me.”

“The one MMORPG I play doesn't tolerate that sort of stuff. I wish it did actually. You can still scam people, but you can get reported for it and punished. Even tactics such as trying to bankrupt your enemies can be considered griefing and is punishable.”

Jtrowa2005 was the last to comment - 12 days ago... show previous hide previous

“Haha, Yeah, those kind of tactics are defiantly allowed in EVE. You'll hear stories all the time about players stealing large chunks of isk and items from corps. One of the most popular forms, players will join a corporation, and stay with them for up to a year helping them out, and acting like a corp member should, just trying to gain their trust. And as soon as some higher up member gives them access to some of the corp stuff, they take everything they can get, and quit the corp, and rejoin their previous corp. Spies are fun like that lol

Anyhow, if ya do ever get into EVE, don't quit too soon into it. EVE has a huge learning curve, and many people try it, and play for a month or 2 and quit. The first few months, as most people will tell you, are the worst few months of the game. Unlike most mmo's where you hit max level, and get bored out of your mind for lack of anything to do, EVE will bore you the 1st months, because you can't do much. But the longer you play, the more you can do, and the more fun it becomes.”
