If the thought of endless PvP opportunities sounds like fun, then EvE might be for you. If exploration and carving your own name into a real living and breathing galaxy sounds like something you could work for (and you'll have to work hard for it), then EvE might be for you. BUT, if undocking and getting ganked by someone who declared war on your corporation sounds annoying, then perhaps EvE is not. If the harsh reality that you just lost your multi-million ISK ship and you could not possibly replace it any time soon sounds too vicious, then perhaps EvE is not for you. If you then get podded to find you haven't updated your clone and you've just lost who-knows-how-many skill points and are likely to rage, then EvE might be for you, but for the love of God, stay on your toes!
Seminal space sim Eve Online built a game economy so intricate it has been responsible for the most elaborate player run scams in gaming history. But in the game's infancy before the EBANK embezzlement, before the BoB takedown or the GHSC Heist, there was Nightfreeze.
So he was smart enough to coax these ppl out of all this money, but not smart enough to use another character to do it? I understand it may have been more difficult, but we are to believe he just gave it away.
In another major case of corporate espionage, embezzlement, and political deceit, an EVE Online player has stolen $13,110 dollars worth of in-game corporate assets.
I wish I could get into this game.. That learning curve though... Too much for me to want to spend the time... Star Citizen will likely be the game I go to since most people will be brand new as well.
It was a pretty damn good choice when the devs decided to let these kinds of things happen in the universe and go unpunished. There are some pretty cool stories about events that have happened in EVE.
I sit, nervously waiting, with my hands on the controls. I listen intently, but all I can hear is my ragged breathing. My head is on a constant swivel, urgently searching the space around me for enemies; searching to make sure I’m in my assigned position. The call goes out, “I’ve got point! Bridge is up! Jump! Jump! Jump!” Hurriedly, I try and follow orders, not knowing what might happen next.
I really want to play EVE but it seems like such a commitment that I wouldn't be able to keep up.
