I am possibly the only one playing Eve around here. Thanks for my own section.

People don't still play this do they?

I took advantage of the 10 days free offer, but I felt borred after an hour.

so... do people still play EVE? I did closed beta for a month then couldn't bring myself to buy the release. How many servers are there?

There is only one Eve server, that's the beauty of it. The server itself is formed from many clusters (linked PCs), which maintain the world mainframe. Truely MMO.

As for people playing Eve, we have well over 4k people online at primetime, and the number of players never goes down under 2k, as the server is populated with people from all around the world, thus different primetimes for each.

I'm enjoying it so far, I like the freedom you get. Besides, they just introduced Castor, a big hunky patch, with lots of goodies. Things got shifted around, npc pirates are now tougher, agents got improved mucho, and tech level 2 stuff blueprints appeared.

Give it a try.

Perhaps I'd still be playing it if they'd released the game with the features promised. All I got was a crummy beta release.

I've been playing since August and i find it the most amazing game i've ever played (and i've played a lot).

With the new Tech 2 patch it's now truly player-driven - agreed it's not a game to suit everyone but if you liked Elite back then, you'll adore Eve now.

I've been playing EvE religiously since the last week of April (snuck in on the last 10 days of beta). Loved it for quite a while, then got bored, twice, and took 2-3 weeks of break both times... now I got bored of it again... then they release tech2... but what they've done with NPC pirates is a bit OTT. Sure, it's nice to have REALLY tough groups of them that you need a bunch of people to go at, but not EVERY FRIGGING spawn in lowsec space ffs.

My current options seem to be ninja mining bistot/arkonor in Fountain (yup, I'm in BIG, a member corp of FA), or run around getting bored senseless doing Agent missions in Aridia (wanting to stay close to Fountain in case of PvP) on the offchance that I'll (or a corp mate) get a skillpack for one of the skills of the few R&D agents in the area requires, on the offchance that I actually win a BP lottery...

Upshot of all this, I've been playing LOTS of Desert Combat lately. Mayhap if they make solo(ish) NPC hunting viable again where there's actually profit to be had I'll put in the crazy amounts of time I had been previously.

Yeah - that's the most annoying bug with Castor but it'll be fixed soon (tm). I can't wait for mobile refineries and such like.. it'll make the game *insane*

Yes you may adore it now if you enjoyed Elite back then but sadly it is just too late for many.

I loved Elite.

However, after beta I just kind of lost interest in EVE. I'm not really sure why, though; I liked it in beta, bugs and all.

I suspect it's the lack of actual character interaction.

[Slug]

I have EVE, i was enjoying it. I even got as far as to get a Scorp Battleship, then it wass destroyed and i lost all interest in the game, its funny how somthing so trivial in most other games can make you stop playing in EVE.
