says it all but for those of you who want a summary:taken directly from that site above)
EVE Online is an open-ended Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG). Most other MMORPGs focus on a structured playing style with predictable outcomes and monotonous leveling. This seemingly innocent fact is why EVE is so different from almost all other MMORPGs, as the players have an incredible impact on how the game develops.
One could compare this to the difference between a playground, such as EVE, and a theme park, which would be the traditional MMOG. In a playground you have access to different kinds of toys and rides, and you are allowed to use your own imagination to figure out how to create games you enjoy. In a theme park all the rides have been created for you and are either good or bad by design. The playground clearly offers more freedom but it requires you to think and be an active participant, while the theme park has taken those responsibilities away from you and you can just go with the flow. As an interesting side-note, "theme park" style MMORPGs commonly develop lines, just like real world theme parks, as players wait for monster spawns, rare items, or quest requirements.
Players that enjoy the freedom and opportunities for creative thinking an open-ended game offers have become mesmerized by EVE, while others that depend on structured, repetitive game style have not. For this reason we don't contend that EVE is for everyone, but for those that enjoy a bit more of a challenge.
A unique aspect of EVE is that it is run on one server. In EVE you can find over 10,000 players at any given time interacting in the same persistent universe. Other MMORPGS are played on multiple servers called Shards; these have a limited number of players on each, usually between 500 and 3000.
The bottom line is that EVE is a rich and immersive universe centered on human interaction. Players can play the game as a simple space trader or endeavor to control the largest, most powerful company in the universe. We provide the rules and tools, but it is the players themselves who create the adventures. |

You have a confusing skill list. When I first saw your 4 mil in Drones I thought you were a Gallente pilot. Why so many points in drones and missiles and not in gunnery? Might I suggest training up your learning skills to 5? Not sure how long you intend to play but I definitely didn't think I'll stick with it this long and after 2 years of playing those additional attributes help out.
What are you doing in the game? PvP? Missions? Factional Warfare?
I'm still mostly PVP but recently I haven't had much time to play much so I've been using my time for industry on my alt. If you need some tips on how to make iskies, let me know.
Anyone else play Eve? |

I am training up to get an Archon atm. Its not much use if your drone skills suck. I should be in one mid-feb of next year once I get all the support skills to IV or better. I am out in guristas space so ratting as amarr sucks ass thats why my missile skills are up that high.
With my WP and Per attribs up as high as they are it doesnt really matter as far as Eve-Mon goes. Once my current phase of training is done ill have around 7M sp in gunnery so I wont be an awekward amarr pilot after that. Itll just take me to mid Nov of this year to get it all done. |
