I've been playing Eve on and off for the past year, great game - 7499 systems means its a big universe
www.eve-radio.com is an awesome streaming internet radio station
A lot of my friends play it and I've got the full client here on my disk. Often I've been tempted to play it. But... I still prefer single player games and I just can't get myself to play an MMO. Will try out Star Trek Online when it comes out though.
Eve Online looks awesome if people want to try it out.
Space Spreadsheets, I mean Eve lookes like one of those games that you either love or hate. Haven't seen anyone playing it so I can't really say If I'll like it or not. In some ways it does sound like a RPGamers wet dream. Though from what I hear it starts taking up huge amounts of time.
What is PvP like? Is it like some hardcore version of Star Control (loved that game)
I will try it out once I figure out how to not need sleep.
I might boot it up once my cap has been refilled to see how it is. But i have the same issues as HANDsolo. No time, ive been neglecting MW online long enough.
Played it for about 6 months and just couldn't get into it...
The learning curve in terms of sheer information overload is pretty steep, but manageable if one is not too lazy to read.
What killed it for me is how Skills train - in real-time. You have NO ability to speed it up by your in-game actions. All you can do is train some more skills that reduce skill training time, and that alone will take weeks of real-time to train.
So expect the first month or so to just be training Learning Skills (again I stress, IN REAL TIME), before you can even start to get at the real meat of this game.
Its a great game for people who love the setting, and how your character progression happens, but as konbshine mentioned - You either love it, or hate it.

The New Experience patch, allows new players a chance to 'catch up'
You start with 200,000 sp now, and until you hit 1,6mil sp you have double training speedAnd you can queue skills
The tutorial was revamped, and easier to understand
Yeah thats why you do other odd jobs to get the money flowing. How is the life of a freighter pilot?Money does become an issue
Tech 1 skills cost 5,000 ISK - 800,000 ISK, the tech 2 (or Advanced skills) cost 3mil for the basic 1s
Lots of money involved, more money involved when there are risks taken
The higher the level, the harder it is, and the more money you make... A friend was running level 1 missions in 0.3 space... just the cash reward for 1 was 5mil
