Getting into EVE
There are plenty of reasons not to get involved in EVE Online. The ludicrous length of time required to make the most of the game, combined with the general trickiness and hostility of the universe don't really help out. Of all the games likely to trip you over and then steal your shopping, it's EVE Online. And yet there's something in this game that can be found nowhere else. It is, as a number of people have claimed, essentially incomparable with other MMOs. It might seem incredibly daunting as you start out, but I want you to keep your eye on the big picture, and to tell you what it's possible to achieve in the EVE universe.
Firstly, remember that EVE Online is a single galaxy. While other MMOs ask you to pick a "shard", or server, or realm, which is an instance of the game world that you might share with a few thousand other people, everyone who plays EVE is in the same galaxy. Your friends need not worry about having to get onto the same server as you: everyone is in this together. This has some immense ramifications: EVE Online is as close to a single, functioning virtual world as we can imagine.
EVE Online reveals messy experiments like Second Life for what they are - only in EVE is there a genuine reason behind the economic transactions, and that reason is war. Only in EVE are there huge political scandals, genuine betrayals and year-long conflicts. Only in EVE does your reputation and political connection really count for something. This is the first of the true persistent game worlds, and it's a place which you can change permanently, forever.
While there are wide open possibilities within EVE for becoming a miner, or a trader, or a manufacturer, the truth is that this is a galaxy powered by conflict. It's self-perpetuating cycle: war requires resources, and resources are limited. The resources become the reason behind the conflict. The big picture of EVE Online is alliance warfare - vast battles, involving thousands of players, which decide the ownership of vast tracts of space
