EVE Online: Steam's Daily Deal

Folks hoping to check out yesterday's first deployment of the Incarna update to EVE Online might want to swing by Steam. EVE Online is featured as today's 1-day sale game and you can grab it plus a month's game time for only $10. It's a great opportunity to jump into the game to check out Incarna.
Breaking News! - Radical changes to EVE Online character development allow you to train characters faster and get into action from the day one!
EVE Online is a massively multiplayer game. Hundreds of thousands of players compete within a single persistent universe for military, economic and political power. Players explore the suns of New Eden, mine and refine resources, drive the economy, and wage war on one another in a richly detailed virtual world set 35,000 years in the future in a stellar cluster far from Earth.
Get it on Steam.

Its a *big* download. But then again, Incarna 1.0 was only released yesterday, so you might want to wait for Incarna 1.0.1 before you start playing this great sci fi game.
BestSigEver :P
and if you arent yet willing to risk $10 .. theres even a free trial... Incarna .. Eve isnt just about spaceships anymore.. interesting to see how they develope that further.. given the high degree of 'individuality' you can achieve with the character creation tool..
wait can i buy this now and not play this month?
I've never played EVE for more than an hour. I wanted to check out the captain's quarters stuff... Wow... is it pretty. That "big screen tv" looks really cool.
If CCP manages to make enough entertaining things to do inside their space stations, man, its going to be pretty darn fun.
Only complaint I have is that walking controls was frustrating.
Edit: I take that back, I still hate the size 6 font that the game uses. Its painful to try to read that....
Yes. You get a CD key once you buy it and you can use it whenever you want.
Still sitting on the copy of EVE I bought on Steam for $2. I'm very glad Incarna is out and will be waiting for it to mature and deveklope a little more.
The very worst part of EVE is you have to be Superman to read anything because the font is so tiny! There is rumours that they're working on this, but I'd really like to see something concrete. I also really hate it how EVE vets pooh-pooh anyone who points out that the font is the smallest thing ever, as if people who don't have super human sight are just whiny little babies.
Aye, I don't care what anyone says, I have 20/20 vision and the font is just too damn small at 1080p. I too have heard they are working on allowing more customization (and hopefully the option to increase the font size to something decent) using the new CarbonUI. I think the Captain Quarters is very cool, but I don't think it would make me sub for another month yet or anything like that.

I added the Key I got from the steam purchase to my trial account, and it promptly applied it, so I hope so
Tempting, but I wouldn't buy it off steam. Cause if you buy the retail version of the "Commissioned Officer Edition" you get a stat booster +3 all stats for the first 35 days of your character. And +3 to all stats is nothing to scoff at, you can also sell them via in-game contracts for roughly the same price as a PLEX (350mil ISK) which is a decent amount for a starting player... however the +3 to all stats for 35 days is much more valuable.
