Being that EVE is a very deep and quite expansive MMOG, this will be the first in a series of many reviews. As these reviews are written and as my characters grow within the game, I'll continue to write about more subjects, both here and on the EVE-Online blog [link will open in new window]. On this first one, I'll be giving you the basic overview eve online isk of the game and how it fits in the suddenly overcrowded MMOG market.
EVE is a MMOG on a galactic scale and based around a far-future setting where you are but an insignificant speck amongst the cosmos. You play the role of a pod pilot and ply the interstellar space-ways trying to get ahead in this crazy, mixed-up universe. After the initial tutorial missions, you are pretty much on your own to find your place and to grow your character however you like. You'll likely stick to running NPC agent driven missions (what other games call "quests") for a while to build up your character and to understand how the world works. Or, you can just run off on your own and join a player controlled corporation and increase your boot-licking skills. Or, you could outfit a small ship and join the ranks of the rough-and-tumble miners, hauling ore. Or.... Or.... Or.... EVE is really big on self-determination and giving you the freedom to do what you want to do, which can be great for some players and frustrating for others.
