EVE - Online, PC (56k warning - picture heavy)

[samoht]

I was dreaming about it last night

Couldn't get the ore hauling runs from Mora to Miroona out of my head.

[a_c_saunders]

lol are you in an indy? Be torture if you weren't....

Oh btw are you in Pie inc? I dont know many of the members NTSC-uk names......

[Marvelon]

I'm not sure which race my friend is, I do know he's not in a corp so I might go for Amarr.
But this won't be the first online game I played - when PSO dc first was released in europe I played whenever I wasn't asleep or working, I guess the same thing will happen with EVE. I've been working on my play-till-late stamina by playing some Civ3 untill the broadband is installed. Can't wait though, really want to see how well my upgrades handle this game.

Can someone tell me how many people are playing this and how many servers there are etc?

[Marvelon]

I haven't actually played it yet, but as far as i know, on a weekday the average is about 2500 people online, and it goes up to about 6500 during the weekend, all on one server.

[a_c_saunders]

Well if anyone decides to play this and wants to join a corp with forum peeps, choose the amarr race and come find pie inc.

[darrylstott]

Is this game worth ?29.99 though?

[a_c_saunders]

Aye it is. Best 29.99 i've spent in the last year imo. I've been playing solidly since release(end of may?) so imo its worth a hell of a lot more

[shock33]

OK,

Picked this up today but can anyone let me know how big the patch is to the retail version?

I'm on dial up which I've heard is fine for playing but how long am I going to have to wait to patch it?

(and I might head on over to Pie inc if that's ok?)

Thanks

[darrylstott]

It's around 22mb i think.

I'm also in PIE inc

(and I might head on over to Pie inc if that's ok?)

You're more than welcome to join PIE Inc. I've got 30 members now Setup an Amarr character and head down to Mora using the map. You'll find PIE Inc. in the list of offices in the station, where you can join up.

started the game last night, but did not make an amarr char. Gone with Galente instead - I might look you guys up for a chat though, or if the gallente thing does not work out i'll start a 2nd char and go amarr.

[Super Stu]

Gone with Galente instead

Kill that scummy french character

[Marvelon]

Kill that scummy french character

That nearly put me off actually "originally of frnch heritage"

Day and a half in though, and I'm already reconsidering my decision. To pursue my chosen profesion (spacetrucker) I need a bunch of skills I don't have, so I keep having to fly about looking for Skills to buy.

[darrylstott]

All skills are for sale in Sehmy.
