- Resizing the Neocom.
- Users can resize the Neocom by dragging the right side edge of the Neocom itself.
- Avatar thumbnail.
- By hovering over the avatar thumbnail, users see their character's name and click the thumbnail to open up the Character Sheet.
- Skill Queue.
- Below the avatar thumbnail there is a progress bar that shows the progression of the current skill being trained. Hovering over it will show the name of the skill in a tooltip window and clicking on it opens the Skill Queue.
- Chat.
- By default, the Chat window is available right below the skill queue progress bar in the Neocom.
- Users can click the Chat icon and get a list of active channels.
- Create Group.
- Users can create custom groups in the Neocom root by right-clicking on the EVE Menu ('E' Icon) at the top of the Neocom.
- Users and put any icon from the menu root, or the EVE Menu into the custom groups.
- At the top of the Neocom there is a new EVE Menu ('E' Icon) where all menu options can be found. The root of the Neocom acts as a shortcut bar and users can move icons around, delete them from the root and add new ones from the EVE menu. No matter what is done to the root, the EVE Menu always has all the options available to users through the Neocom. Users can only remove, add and reorganize icons in the root menu, the EVE Menu index is always the same. Users can drag icons from the EVE Menu to the root of the Neocom which will create a shortcut for it.
- All active windows will be displayed in the Neocom root even if they only exist in the EVE Menu when closed. The root acts as a shortcut and overview for all windows that are open. If more icons are displayed than can be shown at once they will be moved into a 'More' Menu that shows other icons in a sub menu when opened. Icons that point to menus that are currently open will always have a certain 'Open' state to indicate they are already open. If the user clicks an icon for a window that is already open it will put that window into the front if it was behind other windows, but if it is already in front it will minimize that window. Icons that show looping highlighting effect are asking for the users attention because of an update. For example if the user gets a new message through EVE Mail. This can be turned off in the Esc Menu.
- The storage capacity on all Planetary Interaction storage pins has been increased from 5000m3 to 12000m3 so that it may better compete with the space port.

EVE Online is a massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) set in a science-fiction based, persistent world. Players take the role of spaceship pilots seeking fame, fortune, and adventure in a huge, complex, exciting, and sometimes hostile galaxy.
A nominal monthly subscription is charged for each player's account; users are responsible for their own Internet service fees. EVE is not a stand-alone, single player game and can only be played online. Unlike most MMOGs that split a large player base up among small clones of the same game world (called "shards") containing no more than 3,000 people, EVE is unique in that all of its players inhabit the same game world.
This is a free 14-day trial and no is credit card required; EVE Online costs $14.95 per month to play thereafter.

The current stability of the client is slightly buggy though. I have confidence in CCP that they will iron out all the issues soon, considering they just released an enormous expansion.
oh yeah, did i mention all expansions are free?! WOOT :D

Sure, they're both MMORPG's, but quite different still, no?
Why does everything have to be compared all the time. Why choose one thing when one can have all? :)

First, it should be said that the learning curve is quite steep. Think Battlecruiser 3000AD..
Also, unlike WoW, this game is a lot less focused on instant fun. The game is slower paced and it takes a long time and a good ship+stats before one can venture in 0.0 and get a taste of PVP, the core of EVE imo. In a nutshell, you can't just drop in a few times a week, play an hour or two, and still have fun. The stats system reduces that problem a bit though.
That said, EVE is great if you dig complexity and depth over instant gratification. You just need to be unemployed or something to enjoy it I guess :p

That's exactly what I feel.
I know WoW also requires a lot of time, but I call myself a fairly casual player (with a few monthly "breaks" here and there) and I still think I can enjoy WoW even if I don't have "all purple" gear. It's easy to get into and the battle grounds make it easy for a quick "game in game".
I really want to try EVE (and probably will when I think I have time) but still it feels a bit too complicated. But I guess that's also (as people has been sayiing) what makes it good.
It is $20 to set up an account and get one month of play.
After that at is $15 per month. Month to Month
71.70 for 6 months
131.41 for 12 months.
When setting up a new account you can also get a 14 day free trial.
I believe this pricing is virtually identical to WOW.

On downloading the game, this file is just a patch. Now to find the game to see if it is worth it.

I won't be downloading that from my connection!
Just as well - I save myself all that money!

"The same game software as Classic, plus the Premium Graphics Content for all ships, stations and stargates."
Mac and Linux users can't currently download this it seems. :(
I guess there aren't any affordable graphics cards for the Mac that are capable to run the game with that detail anyway... >:(
I'm tired of being a "second class citizen" when it comes to gaming just because I prefer the Mac OS.
Apple: do something! :)
