EVE

Eve has a free trial period, use it wisely to evaluate the game before leaving WOW.

EVE sucks.. combat is automated, not real-time that depends on sharpening your 1337 skill. It's a massive grindfest and everyone's a capwhore. It's really not that fun. Keep playing WoW and Disco.

I actually downloaded the 14 day trial. And i have to say i thought the game was utter pants. It looks very nice, but the controls suck and i realy don't like the gameplay much either. I honestly can't see why people would waist ?45 for 60 days of gameplay.

/signed except for the WoW part.

Yes the major down fall to Eve is the automated combat. You can be the best or worst fighter pilot in the galaxy but it would not matter unless your weapons, skills, and luck all meet the games standards.

You can have a bomber but die in seconds of seeing a capital ship due to the "automated" targeting system.
On the flip side the graphics and pilot designs are cool. If Disco could steal the pilot design and the expanded number of players, Eve would hit the MMO zapper many years ago (refer to GuComics.com for "zapper").

If you have alot of free time on your hands and like space games, give Eve's free trail a spin. The worst it can do is bore you to tears...

I think there is a way you can mine and pay for your eve subscription in EVE credits.

I'd sooner earn real money at work and pay for my subscription than pay for it mining in EVE.

EVE time is for empire can swapping with a Zealot using a tractor beam. The only way that game is fun is by being a complete bastard to the hopeless ones who absolutely refuse to embrace the dark side.

I have had my character fall into complete financial ruin and then pop an afk frigate carrying some high-end minerals to empire. Profiting off the carelessness and cowardice of other players has always been what the game meant to me. I was a through-and-through pirate and scammer and it was my only character, not one of those roving pirate corps full of caps who were secretly alts of wealthy alliance types on another account.

But the scope of the game just got too big and unfun. Those instances of dastardly joy were only brief oases in a vast desert of tedium.
