EVE Online
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. To accomplish
any or all of this, your main tools will include a
diverse array of sophisticated equipment, spaceships, and social
interfaces, but you’ll also need a strong business acumen, cunning
combat strategies, and often pure Machiavellian thinking.
Players of EVE Online can participate in any number of in-game
professions and activities, including mining, manufacturing, trade and
combat (both player versus environment and player versus player). The
range of activities available to the player is facilitated by a
character advancement system based upon training skills in real time,
even while not logged in to the game.
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.
