Your so right about the FPS thing. PLaying Fps not only allows you to really show some true talent instead of just time spent on an MMO, it allows you to be a social gamer and spend less time generally on the PC.. I find.

I’ve played Eve a long time, a few times. Every time i end up just not logging in at some point. It’s a little funny, because i actually find the game rather fun, but at the same time, as you and Huz says, still boring.

Mining and trading are the most boring parts of Eve. It’s like you reviewed Diablo by running around in the town and declaring it lifeless and devoid of interactivity.

It is a shame you didnt play for longer – as the MMO genre is aimed at persistant worlds. Not sure what the review is try to say were you commenting on EVE or MMO in general.

MMO are like any other kind of entertainment you can spend as long or little time on them as you like as life requires.

Your review hinted in the direction that the game excel’s in – people interaction, Eve is one playing universe(one server) which is unique worldwide achievement. Therefore you are playing against over 120,000 Characters – around 20,000+ online at any one time. Voice comms is used extensively within the community allowing players from all over the world to meet and communicate in real time.

I enjoy Eve for many reasons – but if you are to review it – I think is only fair you give it a fair amount of time which is months, as is intend for the genre, and join a corporation next time.

The internet/emails was once for geeks only and that was only 10 years ago. MMO are the future, but these are just the first attempts, only by taking part will you see the change and development in this form of entainment.

“I’d rather play an FPS where I can turn it on, and my own ability at the game will decide whether or not I lose rather than an arbitrary ’skill’ that equates to ‘time spent playing the game.’”

Agreed that and the life sucking part of these games is what keeps me away from them….
