    Pretty much every MMO i can think of has an attractive female on the box. So what's the big deal?

    I dont like eve myself but i wont say its a crappy game just not my genra of game very complex its actually a very good game for one of its kind and the player base is actually pretty freakin huge.Ive played the game a few time was pretty impressed by some of what ive seen and experienced in the game starts out pretty slow main reason many people dont get attracted too it right off the back.

    Maybe they are going to add a new planet... Boobtopia. Now that would sell some subs.

    I am going to assume that the OP is a troll, but even with that said I have to chime in on this.

    Are you people serious? I swear at times I am ashamed to be a freaking gamer. But for now I will just put that aside and keep to the matter at hand.

    OMG they picked a piece of art that is somewhat ‘hot’ to try and catch peoples attention.

    As those of us who know EVE - as opposed to those who just want to seem like they do but bash it and all its ‘fanboys’ know that EVE art is only the slightest bit sexual.

    To the moral majority out there grow up, stop being hypersensitive and if this is all you have to get your undies in a bunch - go get a job, talk to some other people, get married, have some kids or in other words find something else to worry about.

    so basically what you are saying is that you don't like EVE but you're using frivolous and mundane examples of negative marketing to shadow your true intentions?

    My point is that it's funny that a MMO that is all about space ships (that you can never leave) shows a woman with tripple D's and not much covering them up in the forground of their add. While the space ship in way in the back and off to one side.

    What do they expect, everyone to look at that and say "WOOOO MAMMA!!! Look at the ta-tas on that hose-bag!! I'm signing up for Eve 'cause there are hot women with huge jugs!!! WOOOO!!!"? Then they get into the game and there aren't even any avatars..well other than a small picture that cuts off most of the boobage anyway.

    Yes but I though Eve was above this sort of thing.

    Wait, you're saying that Eve is above advertising and making money?

    As much as I hate Eve-Online.  it's just an ad, think you might be reading too much into it.


    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    It's almost as hypocritical as WoW claiming "Exciting PvP Action!". But who cares, they'll both still do it!

    Pretty much.

    HOWEVER, if you wanted to read something into it, maybe the shapely female represents the fact that you can surf porn while the EVE window is minimized and a script is playing the game for you?

    Oh the joys of being a girl gamer.... 

    Yes, Eve is using sex to sell. What mmo doesnt? The gaming world is full of backwards, sex starved men who freak out when they hear a real live girl speak on vent or get to play a toon with big bouncin bewbies. It's an estblished fact.



    For the Horde!

    Go to a country where all women wear paranjas so no depraved sights will embarras your adolescent mind. Or alternatively, get a life, maybe even have some sex, if you'll manage. Then probably painted girls woudn't attract so much of your attention and you'll be able to concentrate on something different. Or if you just hippocritic then nevermind.

    The picture is from in-game art from the character creation screen.

    By the way yes, women play.

    Or maybe starter of this topic would prefer to see half naked men on advertisements instead of hot chicks? ::::01::::::01::

    I may not fall into that category, but I'd definately freak out if a real dead girl decided to speak on vent.
