I tried EVE early last year, played for 3 months. The game is really great but the Trinity graphics thing had just been released and (I guess) this caused the interface bugs which pissed me off enough to quit. Three months is more than enough time for even lazy coders to fix something.
They were prolly buzy with their other screwup, an update misplaced EVE's boot.ini file, yep, stored it in the root, then people couldn't reboot their computers lol. Scary. Probably best practice to not even have a boot.ini file since it is a system file also.
Anyway, I decided to try again to see if they finally fixed the issues. The worst thing was rolled up windows would unroll when zoning. I had a list, don't remember the rest now.
I just downloaded the client from one of the GamersHell links, it came in at 1700KB/s. A whole 7 minutes and 29 seconds to get a 753mb file. Nice.
If it fries my boot.ini, it'll be more fun to fix than playing some other mmorps I've been testing.

hehehe you have to learn stuff about eve
they forgot to put a "" in a patch so instead of changing the boot.ini in eve folder changed the windows file that only happen if you got XP and have eve installed on c: ppl really need to keep c for windows only and put all the crap on d:UI bugs i dont remember them :S
also CCP give player "money back" (free subscription)
BestSigEver :P
Looks like the interface was fixed!
And yes, the boot.ini was fixed fast and they compensated people for the goofup.
But... EVE now has daily updates which interfere with my play time

eve has, since its inception, a daily downtime between 11gmt and 12gmt. its not a new thing.
