EVE Online owns!

So I was bored as shit the other day and decided to check on a few games. Some friend of mine ended up telling me about EVE online so i decided to give it a try.
The game is extremely complex, and it looks even more when you’re first looking at it. The rookie-tutorial takes over 2 hours to finish but it sure helps a lot. You get to know all the basic functions, tools and interface. The interface… I don’t consider myself as a game expert but EVE has the best interface i have ever seen. It’s simply perfect! It’s like, when you’re watching a Star Wars movie and you see all those neat monitors with awesome graphics and you’re like “wow, that’s so cool, i wish i had stuff like that on my computer”, well… wish no more! EVE beats all that.

The only down side of this game is that it’s Pay-to-Play. In order to play it you have to pay a monthly fee of 19.95$USD. I’m still on trial period (14 days) but i’m pretty sure that, after the trial period expires, i’ll gladly pay that monthly fee because it’s totally worth it.

I’ve been playing this for only 6 days now and i know i haven’t seen 1% of the game, but what i’ve seen so far made me droll. There’s also rumors that an expansion (free) is coming out, new ships, equipment, research and graphics! (better than this?!)
Here’s a few screenshots i took in these last days:

It hasn’t so many flashy graphics, but it’s the Metaverse — the Matrix of the future, if you will — or the ultimate social networking tool of the 21st Century: Second Life. It’s perhaps best described of the 3D World-Wide Web, with a difference — people are not “text” behind their blogs, forums, websites, and MySpaces. They are 3D representations inside a virtual world which is totally built by its residents (users).

It’s clear from the post that you’re looking for something that entertains you when you’re bored :) EVE sports a virtual economy and fancy, flashy graphics. Second Life is the interface to the future generation of a front-end to real life application servers — with a totally different way of rethinking what “social interaction” means on the Internet.

Who knows, it might interest you to the extent of having you look Second Life up… and do something in it… and perhaps become an IT Consultant in Virtual World Architecture. Many are doing the same, in a world that slowly moves towards its million users — only 0.1% of the Internet population so far, but who knows what will happen in 5 or even 10 years?
