Just curious, what do you play?
Hmm... maybe earlier, but now it's shifting more to the older.
Never tried it. I'm a tech/sci-fi geek, so I wanna see my Dominix deploy some Ogre II drones and pwn the crap out of the Serpentis (my favorite prey.)Currently EQ2, though I do have 2 active EVE accounts that I spend some time with. It's a nice break to grind through a few level 4's.
Which, WoW or EVE?
If you pay for the whole year, you can get it as low as $11 a month. There's the initial sticker-shock, but it's worth it in the long run.
Yeah I know that now, but I'm still going to wait until I get a job.
Yes but playing EVE consumes time that I already have trouble allocating towards looking for a job.
EVE > All other MMOs combined... [in my opinion]
Here's why - when you die in EVE, you don't basically hit 'reset' and run from a graveyard. Death matters, thus people play realistically. Plus, the game is truly player driven in many facets, such as the economy, territories, etc.
Awesome game. I'm having a hard time deciding between playing it or ME2 right now.

EQ has a higher death penalty than EVE.
That was one of my problems with it. I don't want my escapist fantasies to be too realistic.
True... but the knowledge of absolutely running some other nerd's day when you gank their ship makes it absolutely worth it to me.
I was speaking more of the 'big' MMOs currently on the market, such as WOW, AoC, WAR, LoTR, etc. Does EQ still draw a sizeable crowd?
Just so you know, I hate people that are like that in the game :2razz: . We just might cross missiles/lasers/hybrids/projectiles in the future.
Carebear KOS.
I don't pod kill though.
It pisses me off when people flip cans or ninja salvage. Especially the latter. I've started taking precautions, like blowing up my wrecks if I think someone will take it :2razz: .
Ninja salvaging is just stupid. You can make so much better money for your time doing just about anything else.
That very much depends on the game.
Some games have real young audiences(WoW), some much older and more mature(EQ2). EVE falls somewhere in between, but it is definitely possible to find some older, more mature, stable and decent people there.
I think that's a pretty crappy view of multiplayer games.
I'm really picky about who I play multiplayer games with when I do end up playing, and I always end up finding a group of mature, level-headed and intelligent people that are really fun to play with; anyone else that I dislike I just mute.
So I'm fully confident that it is possible to find a good corp to join in EVE that is filled with intelligent and respectful people.
Not in my experience.
Wow, EQ (never did 2), Champions Online, City of Heroes/Villains, Guild Wars.
Other players almost exclusively detract from the game.
That's a big part of the reason I avoid almost all other MMOs. I played WoW for a while but eventually I got so sick of the people I just flat left.That's my experience of them. Other players usually ruin the game.

I think the problem might be with you. All MMOs certainly have their fair share of idiots (as does any endeavor involving other human beings), but generally there are a lot more good people than bad.
