I'm playing it right now, and I can feel my muscles relaxing, everything is.

This is one of the best games I've ever played - It's relaxing.

    Eve is one of the few subscription mmos that I have a serious desire to pay. Unfortunately, my so far inability to get a job hampers me in the monthly payment department.

      Yeah, I know that feeling.

      Eve is also more expensive than most MMO's.

      It is worth the cash, though. It's so immense. Everyone there is so helpful, too. ɤLume and ɤGoldRogers have both helped me a lot with information and tips. And I'm still barely treading water in the game, there's so much to think about.

        Yeah, but I can't do anything about it so long as I don't have a job, and I think so long as I'm still in college I probably will not ever end up getting it. I really want to try it though.

          Yeah, that's fair enough really.

          I would suggest grabbing it as soon as you can afford it, though. I'd prepare by reading a lot before you get in there, and decide (even if it's roughly) what you want to do with the game, because that will make it even more enthralling.

            What is there to do? Ive heard stuff like miner or pirate or something, but I still don't really know.

              Honestly? I don't know either.

              What I do know is, you can do pretty much anything that makes you happy.

              Obviously the two you mentioned, Miner and Pirate, but then there are corporations that're basically PMC's, there are mercenaries, people who play the market. Those're the things I know about, but I still know bugger all about this game, in comparison to what there is available.

                Wow, that's really impressive...I know I'd probably be a pirate or mercenary out of those options. I'd prefer being a pirate, but I wouldn't want to be a disliked player, so I'd probably go merc. Unless there are cooler choices, which there may very well be.

        How is it more expensive? In the US almost all full MMOs are $14.95 a month.

        WoW/EQ2/SWG/COH/COV/L2/EVE all $14.95. And most MMOs make you pay $40-50 for the game up front, EVE only makes you pay $5.

        Is that not the case in the UK?

          Nope. I pay about £10. It's not a lot more expensive, sure, but it's still more expensive.

          The upshot, though, is that it's actually good.

            That is interesting, since they are not a US company. They are in Iceland.

            What other MMOs are you comparing it to, per cost?

              The only one I know the monthly cost of - WoW.

              It's not down to the company - It's just that the exchange rate is pisspoor for pound to euro, but since the UK is part of the EU they charge us on a Euro basis.

              Right now, a monthly Eve sub is £11.

                Ahh ok, that is interesting.

                Almost all MMOs here are exactly the same price.

                The only one's that are different are the ones that are not really full MMOs.

                Like Hellgate is only $9 something, and some others are lower. But everything else is $14.95-99

                  Technically, if we as a country had joined the Euro, then it'd be the same price for UKers, but since we're smart enough not to join that POS currency, we get to pay more in comparison to the US, and other monthly MMO's :B

    When you make enough money in the game you can buy game time cards from players with in-game currency at this forum: http://myeve.eve-online.c…=channel&channelID=544711

    The money may sound like a lot, but it's not once you get deep into the game after two or three months. Then the game is essentially free. What other MMO do you know that can pay for itself? I haven't paid for EVE in 3 months.

      Yeah, I heard you can use ISK to buy game time. Definitely a good point.

      Right now, though, I don't have the cash to even buy the skill manuals I want, so :B

            I think closer to 6000 miles, but you could wait until I get back to school or visit the boyfriend, then I'll be on the East Coast and it'll only be about 3000 miles. :D

      I'd love to, but I'm a fledgling newbie.

    Eve is an awesome game, I just couldn't take the total lack of feeling like a knew anything. And I wasn't about to play for 2 years to feel like I was actually learning stuff about the game :p

      Hehe, it's understandable, really, considering the monumental amount of things there are to learn.
