EDITOR NOTES
The Demo version is available in the 'Related Links' section, below on this page. After downloading the EVE Online game software you need to create an account.
DESCRIPTION
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.

*****

SECTION8  This game is the most extensive MMORPG I have ever seen. Its economic aspect has been the subject of numerous WSJ articles and is widely regarded as a completely accurate economic model. The PVP of this game is a lot of fun as well. The universe is extremely expansive as well and the possibilities are endless. This game makes WoW looks like childs-play (this is coming from a former hardcore raider)

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  (Version 4.10.51200)

CHIGAZE  It is not $20 per month to play.

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.  (Version 4.10.51200)

PETE-ON-THE-WEB  After starting the download (slow high speed,) I checked their website. It is $20 a month - is any game worth $240 a year to play?

On downloading the game, this file is just a patch. Now to find the game to see if it is worth it.  (Version 4.10.51200)

STAR-AFFINITY   For Windows there's a version with "Premium Graphics Content":

"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! :)  (Version 4.10.51200)
