What's New

Character Creator and New Player Experience
Important note:
We’re replacing the current patching mechanic and replacing it with a Launcher. Players will be asked to download a small patch after downtime on Tuesday which will contain the Launcher. Once this has been completed, the EVE Launcher will start, which will automatically patch your client to the correct version. Full details are available in this blog.

We have revamped the rookie ships which are the first ships new players see in the game. You can read, and see, all the changes to the Ibis, Impairor, Reaper and Velator in this blog.Exploration and Deadspace
- Blood Raider Human Farm
- Serpentis Live Cargo Distribution Facilities
- Sansha Acclimatization Facility
Character Creator and New Player Experience
- In Character Creation and Re-Customization, the four portrait snap shots now retain all the background, pose and lighting settings of the portrait. This will allow you to quickly switch between them without changing settings, either by clicking on them or using the F1 - F4 keys.
- The idle animations of your avatar will now pause when you are making sculpting changes.
- The Tucking and Browsing buttons in Character Creation and Re-Customization have been moved to the side panel.

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! :)
