I still cant get past the horror stories and the lack of some type of free trial.. They need to toss some type of free trial in there for some of us sceptics, so we can find out for ourselves what type of game it is now and possible buy it.
They do have a free trial....I forget which magazine is carrying the EVE disk. But there is a free trial right now

Originally posted by vfrex "actually yes...it is valid to rate the game in beta..especially towards the end." If you think that ratings dating back to beta are STILL valid in a game that has shifted and changed since release, especially a game that MANY people state suffered from a premature release, you are delusional. It is NOT valid, no more valid than fanbois jumping in and rating it with 10's for the hell of it today.
no no vfrex you misunderstood I am not saying (for example Eve) that beta ratings are valid now. I am talking about at the time they were valid ratings/reviews. It's just like now with say AC for example. No one would want to use a rating or review from pre AC:DM..they would want current reviews. Now another example say KO...it is in beta....it is getting good reviews. That will make the average person not following the game from annoucment to be interested in trying it out, however if it gets horrid beta reviews then they may not be inclined to try it I should have clarified myself more! Sorry for the misunderstanding

imho eve online is the best mmorpg out right now and probably will be for a LONG time to come...
but its funny that alot of you people think it sucks because the game makes you actually work to accomplish anything so there is no "powerleveling" and getting UBER items when you make a new char
it does have its downfalls and one of them is the game changes drastically with each big patch for instance with the castor patch they made it really hard to get isk which is good and bad in a way
but dont bash a game you havent played fully and a game that you played in beta it's REALLY sad that you would actually do that say you told me you like uo how would you feel if i bashed the game from the beta stage....thats right you would call me a fool
I play EVE right now, and i have to say, its boring. Their is nothing to do. NPC missions are all the same, and they start to repeat after about a hour play time. Mining and manufacture 2/3 of the game, are just sitting around in a ship doing nothing, or waiting for a skill to come up. Then combat is a joke. Its needs severe balancing. Some weapons/ships are just plain inpractical.
I just don't see what the draw to EVE is. Its like paying for a chat room. I can see the potential of offline advancment, but i don't like their system. I can log off for a week while a skill trains. And someone logged on 12 hours a day during that time will learn at the same rate.

Well i payed for the cliant download (comes with free month). I'm trying to give it a fair chance, but each day is more boring the the last. I won't pay for another month, thats for sure. But as long as i have access, i will see if i can find soemthing in the game i enjoy.
I was in a guild that was not growing, so I switched to a much bigger guild.
I died a few times trying to get to the far away system that the new guild was based.
I finally reached the guild and helped them mined and transport materials to help the guild build ships and a starport.
I am a power-gamer and mined/hauled tons of raw materials for that guild.
One day, I log on and was not guilded.
I whispered the a guild leader and was told to fly to him to be guilded again.
I flew to him, and then he and my former guildies started shooting at me.
Being a power-gamer, I was not a lowbie and was able to escape and hide in the starport.
I whispered to the guild leader and asked why they were shooting at me.
He told me it was a mistake, and I should go back to him.
I flew back to him and same thing happened, and I was able to escape again.
I then asked in the system channel as what was going on.
Some of the people I grouped often whispered me that the guild leaders were saying that I stole millions of credits from the guild.
I have donated tons of resources mining/hauling for that guild, and I have never stole anything from that guild.
The guild leaders said that the attempt on destroying my ship was a mistake again, but I dont believe them anymore.
I log on/off often to see if not many of my ex-guildie were log on, to make my escape.
It took me days to finally get out of that system.
Someone may have actually stole those millions of credits, but I do not know.
To me, these guild leaders are just abusing their power and luring other players to join their guild, so they can go to their system, and they can toy and PvP with them later after they dis-guild them.
And I never played EVE again.
I made a mistake by joining a guild like that, but a game where abuse is easily done to other players is not a game for me. I have reported this incident to the GM, but no real reply.

Eh, as far as the trial goes,,,doesn't the free download of the game, rather than buying a box off the shelf, forgo that cost?
