see already your making more sense,,,

Just out of curiosity, has anyone played Eve and how is it?

yes, its very visually stimulating:) Time consuming, $$ consuming, basically awsome if u have eyes and $$.

I played for a few months, and look where I am. Do they have a recession special?

its a pretty awesome game. i played for i dunno about a year until friends pulled me into warcraft. in my opinion, the thing that turned me off the most, unfortunately, was that it just takes a long time to play the game. you actually "fly" around in space at sub-light speeds, which takes a long time because space is so mind bogglingly huge. you have jump gates that get you from system to system, but even so, flying from gate to gate can take a long time. also, you fly slower with larger ships, which let me tell you, can be very dangerous in low security systems. approaching a warp gate in a 0.4 system is often a death wish for a transport without an escort. on the other hand, this can make the game very team oriented. what i enjoyed most out of it is the whole economy. pretty much 90% of the goods in the game, e.g. ships, weapons, space stations, etc. are player produced. all of those goods are bought and sold on the market and i had a pretty lucrative in-game business going. my character is still around, managed by <<doctor who>>.

oh and one more thing. there is only one eve universe and it never rebangs. so if you came to the party late you're already - what - like 3 years or something behind the big boys. good luck with that!
