EVE Online: Kali Q&a

Reading this makes me want to play EVE so badly, but then I remember the time I spent in the tutorial (free trial) and how bored I was. These guys seemed to have made something awesome, but I have little patience for a world that doesn't make sense within an hour or so.

Eve Online is a fantastic game. If you're an MMO fan and looking for something different than the simplistic styles of most other games out there, give Eve Online a shot.

That is what BoB's forum warriors would like everyone to think. Always, always remember: Eve-Online politics are a lot like real politics. The person who masters the art of public denial and accusation is always right; reality is irrelevant. The generally accepted frequency of flamebaiting, misrepresentation, and deprecation of the accomplisments of anyone that is not one of the very few oldest and established corps on the Eve-O forums is absolutely mind-boggling. Don't worry though, we're not going anywhere - we're having the time of our lives with the disruption we have caused :)

If anyone else reading hasn't yet realized - that is the biggest drawback to this game. It is very, very newbie-unfriendly. There is a lot to learn, and there is a lot of elitism to figure out how to sidestep and ignore. Once you have done that, this game is more or less a social/political sandbox in which to participate.

Why don't they talk about how Eve is getting a dx9 upgrade, they mention the dx10 Vista client but they don't specifically mention dx9. They say "upgrades" but... damnit... I need direct anwsers!

I only wish there was a minor ground game. Nothing too fancy a la Anarchy Online or Star Wars Galaxies (although, that would kick ass). Maybe just running around starports Freelancer style.

That was actually a really good article. Some of the things at the end got me all hot and bothered. Fixed jump portals at starbases? Freighter docks where you want them? Colonizing planets? Sign me up!!!

Sweet, I gotta start working on my System Governor skills.
