EVE is by far one of the most in depth MMO’s that you’ll ever play. It can be harsh, but this tends to weed out the “men from the boys” so to speak.

You also forgot another line of “work” - ie, piracy. The pirates of the game operate in low security space, where there is law but it’s not enforced. Here, players venturing into “pirate systems” will find themselves attacked. Their ships are looted (or ransomed) for ISK, the in-game currency.

You also have the “anti pirates” which make a habit of hunting down pirates - seldom for cash, just for the sake of “cleaning up”.

Corporations and Alliances can declare war on one another, so there has always been a PvP element to the game - even in “high sec” space.

Anyway, I’m glad you’re enjoying it and hope your blog will attact some more players.

EVE represents the last word in MMO gaming. Each system has as much space in it as our local solar system. And there are in excess of 5000 of them. This means that the scope can be somewhat bewildering. I would suggest that if starting the game on a permanent basis that you should enrol yourself within a player driven corporation. Here you can find rescources, training and advice to help you suss out the game.

I have been playing constantly for two years now and I learn a bucket load everyday. It really is massive with a capital MMO.

If you ever played Elite and loved it then this game will rock your world.
