EVE Online :MMORPG

[kilaj1]

So this MMORPG has been around for years, I finally bought into the hundreds of google adds about it and gave it a try.

First off the visuals in this game are some of the best ive seen in a MMORPG, and unlike most games this one does everything to scale, so these ships that you are seeing bellow are battle ships the shuttles and starting ships you have severally dwarfs these ones.






And yes these are in game screen shots

One thing i don't like about this game is the HUGE learning curve...and I mean HUGE, this game is extremely detailed from the markets, to the different carriers you can go into, to joining corporations or become a pirate, or a trader...the tutorials at the start have key information in it that will determine if you would want to continue with this game or not.

this game uses a real time skill up system, in other words to learn certain skills you have to of course buy or obtain the required skill and then learn it, when can take from a few REAL mins to a few days.

hm...wonder if i might like this. the last game i played like this was Homerworld: Raider Retreat lol

[kilaj1]

Nothing like homeworld...apart from it being in space....the big issue i have with this...the universe HUGE....and i cant stress this enough, you find your self using autopilot alot to get to where u need to go. but the good thing is that the tutorials actually give you ships as rewards.

so are there other things i can do during the journey? an in flight movie maybe?

[kilaj1]

lol well i dont think you would want to be watching a movie why in flight, this game does have PVP aspect...you can be cruising along in your little speeder and get ganged up on by a massive fleet

I have heard a about this game from someone who has been playing it for 5 plus years and this game is not for the faint of heart not that its gory but it is relentless this game has held the top MMORPG PVP Award for years for a reason when you get jumped in this game YOU GET JUMPED your ship is destroyed and then it can be salvaged so anything that is not saved with a insurance like feature in the game is lost and I take it that the insurance like feature can only be accessed in main bases or specific area so if you get a nice item on a quest or you finally skilled up a preferred area just know that after you are killed you just lost all of that up to your last restore point and you have to reacquire it all over.
