I must confess. While searching for awesomewin music, I came across
this and now I'm playing EVE Online again. The video is old (from the graphics upgrade a few years back), but the nostalgia triggered some kind of hidden urge to play something that doesn't involve swords and elves.
This is definitely a different experience from Rift, Warhammer, World of Warcraft and all the other MMORPGs I've played over the years. I remember trying to get into EVE a couple of years back, but I got bored with it after a few months. This time around, though, I think I've finally aged enough to appreciate the boring aspects of the game for their sheer beauty.
Also, flying around in a spaceship the size of a skyscraper, firing nuclear warheads at unsuspecting space pirates in frigates the size of 747's is kickass. More kickass than hitting space pirates over the head with a Hammer of Righteousness, if you catch my drift.
I've redownloaded and re-subbed to EvE this weekend too. Not really logged in yet though.
I've been playing on and off since retail, but after having 4 accounts and selling (for ISK) most of my highly trained characters over the years, the only one I have left only has 40m skill points.
I've not played in over 18 months, so i had fun redesigning my character and looking at all the crap I've got lying about!
Top, top game, but really difficult to get into as a completely new player. Most of my old contacts have all left / traded characters.
