EVE Online offers its players more than just an RPG, because it combines many genres in one game, such as economic simulation, strategy, action, gigantic battles .... in diversity is the strength of EVE Online, for one can easily his Berfu change without unlearn something. I, for example, started as a fighter pilot, went into business, then again fight and now I am doing primarily Erzbeschaffung to get materials to build my future ships.
Every part of the game has its advantages for themselves and the whole economy is controlled by players. Similarly, the policy in the so-called 0.0 areas will be completely controlled by players. The fact that this does not remain knsequenzlos can imagine certainly. It raging for years (real annual) bitter wars over the areas where large asteroids deposits and a lot of money waiting for the pilot.
Only in the center of the galaxy, it is quiet and players can usually fly around in peace there and find their way in EVE there.
Unlike WoW but you need here much more brain power, because a good logical thinking and some Mathematikkentnisse (pinch tuts the calculator) are needed.
Very socially friendly is the skill system: The Skills run strictly by time and not by experience points. This means that you can activate to learn a skill and it runs through to the end, even if you do not play or the computer shuts down. Each skill has 5 levels that can be completed and the Skills have different maturities.
Now the technology:
Server and Client game:
There is only one server, in December a record of 41,000 players were on this same listed online. WITHOUT LAGS ... This proves how well CCP polishes on the server performance and continually optimized.
The client also makes a good figure. In the two years playing time I have listed very rare crashes. Very stable.
Graphics:
The graphics are bombastic to say it in a few words. But there is also a graphic version, which is not as hardware feeding and thus EVE can the owners of slower computers satisfy.
With the retail version, which will for example give here to buy from Amazon, a graphics card with Shader Model 2 are only (Radeon X1300 + and GeForce 7000+) needed. For Premium graphics version, however, however, more expensive hardware needs will be.
Sound:
The sound makes the walls shake with the right sound system. Whether the rattling machine guns Minmatar, the Amarr howling Laser ... they will see for yourself ... sry to hear;)
The game course is accompanied by quiet music, but quite rock or techno-like turns in combat missions, but the mood is not spoiled.
Gameplay:
EVE is controlled exclusively with the mouse. This gives a feel more like a commander as a pilot. However, this has significant advantages because the solar systems are more AU large (1 Astronomic Unit = 149.598.000km) and thus makes it easier to navigate.
