EVE Online Review:
Developed by CCP Games for Windows and Mac.
SYNOPSIS
Eve Online is a space mmo. It is a player-driven persistent-world massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in a science fiction space setting. Players pilot customizable ships through a universe comprising over 7,500 star systems.Most star systems are connected to one or more other star systems by means of stargates. The star systems can contain several phenomena including, but not limited to: moons, planets, stations, wormholes, asteroid belts and complexes.
BACKGROUND
EVE takes place in a cluster of stars far from mankind’s original habitat, planet Earth. How far away, and whether or not that cradle of civilization still exists, is a mystery. Humans arrived through a natural wormhole and, gazing up upon an alien sky they had never seen, were completely unable to determine where this new world was located. From the New Eden solar system, where the gate of EVE once led to the old world, humans expanded in all directions at a furious pace, exploring and colonizing rapidly.
Then, unexpectedly and seemingly unprovoked, the EVE Gate collapsed in an apocalyptic catastrophe of a scale never before witnessed by the human race, ruining the New Eden system in the process. Thousands of small colonies were left in complete isolation to fend for themselves, cut off from the old world. For millennia they endured, clinging to the brink of extinction, and only a handful managed to survive.
Of those that lasted, five were to rise up and become the major empires that, between them, hold the balance of power in the world of EVE. Today, they are known as the Amarr Empire, the Gallente Federation, the Caldari State, the Minmatar Republic, and the Jovian Empire. Additionally, the world is full of several small, independent factions and states.
For more than a century, the five empires have lived together in relative peace. They’ve continually strived to maintain this peace, as each faction realizes only too well the grave consequences of a massive inter-stellar war. Recent technological breakthroughs in FTL travel, and the ensuing increase in space travelers, have shaken, but not broken, the fragile peace… at least not yet.
ECONOMY
The in-game economy in Eve Online is an open economy that is largely player-driven. Non-player character merchants sell skill books used by players to learn new skills and blueprints to manufacture ships and modules. The players themselves gather the necessary raw materials to manufacture almost all of the ships and ship modules in the game. NPC ships can be looted or salvaged for items and materials, Non player created ships and equipment may be purchased from various NPC factions as a player gains status with them, and can be resold in the in game economy.
The amount of money or materials in the universe is not fixed and, as such, the economy operates under supply and demand. Market manipulation is possible on a large scale, particular examples being ramping and bear raids. CCP does not issue refunds on in-game purchases. This causes scamming to become an ever present risk. The economy is balanced by automatically introducing extra materials in underpopulated areas. This encourages an even spread of players.
RACES
The world of EVE is inhabited by five major races: the Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Jove, and Minmatar, and numerous smaller factions. All of these races are of human origin; their ancestors entered this little part of the universe thousands of years ago through a natural wormhole. Though most of the first settlements collapsed when the wormhole suddenly closed, a few survived. Today’s races are the descendants of those scattered colonies.

UTTERLY MASSIVE TIME/MONETARY INVESTMENT NEEDED TO GET ANYWHERE NOTEWORTHY
In Eve you can level your character while AFK. So your time investment is the lowest of any MMO out there. You just need to login every few days and tell him to train a new skill or level.
Also, in Eve you can use your in-game currency to purchase game time–another feature that sets Eve apart. So theoretically, your real life monetary investment could be zero (but then you’d have to spend time in the game making money).
