Anyone play/played this ? A Sci-Fi MMO!.. space ships and exploration.. The game oooozes complex! the abundance of skills, equipment, space ships an trading goods makes this the BEST space trading / exploration / combat game ever! You can mine, manufacturer, combat, PVP, PVE.. build your own space ships space stations and mother ships. Corporations battle for control of space in wars which spans huge regions of space. Skill training is different to most MMO's - you dont 'train' a skil by using it.. you simply purchase a skill book which plugs into your computer.. and while you have this skill 'training' it will continue to train even while your off line! but the skills take REAL time to train.... they start off only taking a few hours.. but as they level up and you buy advanced skills to fly bigger ships and fire bigger guns the skills start taking days.. then weeks.. then MONTHS to train! The only thing about this game... it HATES new players! Its cold and harsh, the tutorial covers only the VERY basics! even that goes on for along time. There is a huge learning curve and everyone everywhere is out to get you.. players will scam you (legitimatly too) and the lag and bugs can sometimes be infuriating! This is mainly because its all one BIG server!.. you dont have seperate servers like traditional so everyone who is playing plays on the same server, so the market is very much in the control of the players. Highly reccomended if you fancy a change from the traditional fantasy game! A Good thing about EVE, is that when you unsubscribe you can 'set' a LONG skill training.. and it will continue to train even without an active subscription. so when you do re-subscribe suddenly you have a nice skill to fly a big ship or whatever :) a great game to go back and forth to. I've actually paused playing this game at the moment, I'm waiting for some improvments to the PVE and for when they introduce 'walk - in stations' and better graphics! - the graphics are good, but.. well, very dated now and I do like good graphics :D I dont know what goes on at the EVE Development offices, they literally takes YEARS to fix some bugs.. and additional content is few and far between! Since I started playing well over 18 months ago they have implemented part 1 (of 3) of a new content pack called Revelations!.. Im waiting for them to finish this and sort out all the bugs and problems which they seem to always be plagued with. |
