EVE Online

[DarkOddity]

<snip> but after 3 years it's got only 70 thousand players. Guild Wars had a million after 5 months. See the difference?

The difference here is Eve online is a p2p game (pay 2 play) as opposed to Guild Wars which is free after you buy the game itself.. Thus you can't compare them IMO.. Now if you compare it to Star Wars Galaxies, another p2p MMORPG, I'm sure the amount of players is triple the subscription of SWG.


As for Eve as a game in general, my best friend recently got addicted to the game, but unfortunately had to give it up due to having a girlfriend (Whcih is why I play FL instead of Eve... I refuse to play it just based on, I *KNOW* I will get addicted.


Eve is a very complicated game, so much so to the point where there is in-game stock... Yes, you can participate in the stock market, IN GAME. There are (obviously) cap ships in that game... guess what, your looking at $50,000,000,000 (50 billion) for the best cap ship. Fun stuff :)

I heard the game is alot of fun. I recomend you try it out just on what I've heard by word of mouth (My friend rarely, as in almost never, plays a MMO.. and he loved it.)
