Anybody know anything about this...? Apparently it's a souped up freelancer MMO- with one world- no multiple servers. So when 19 thousand people are on simultaneously (their new record) there are actually 19 thousand people in the same gameworld. Sounds fairly hot to me... anybody know anything about it? www.eve-online.com/(helps to have a link, i suppose)

I played a free demo they had of this game back in it's beta and it is very very addicting. You get to customize your own ship and can visit planets or walk around other peoples ships too. Unlike Freelancer with the point and click interface. Yeah it is way fun, I nearly bought it but that was also in my "I won't pay a monthly fee for a game" phase of life. That didn't last too long. Obviously.

so what can i say... i got a subscription to try it out.
so far it's fairly entertaining- and pretty damn complex... there is a lot to do.. it took me about 2 hours to complete the tutorial. which was an overview of basic functions. the fighting is more based on your characters skill and has almost a turn-based feel to it- not actual click-and-shoot type fighting. but so far.. so fun. veeeerry open-ended too- seems like there are lots of viable ways to make a living..

I realize earlier that "free demo" I tried in the beta was a similar game called Earth & Beyond that seems to be very similar to EVE.
Anyway with the free trial I think I'm going to try this out sometime, you still playing Paul?

in fact i am- not quite as much as i was though. the wow bug has bitten again and i'm finding myself sucked back in to try to make those last two pesky levels to 60.
I think that many refugees from earth and beyond now play eve- as i recall earth went bankrupt or some such thing.
anyway- check out the trial- and also play through the tutorial- it's a good way to get cash and get introduced into the game
