^ What he said.
EVE, IMHO, has some of the best gameplay features in the MMORPG world. The whole storyline of EVE is made by the players - and the really big Corps can make monumentous changes to the EVE Universe just by invading another large corps space.
If anyones been playing EVE for a while they'll know of the BoB's invasion of the North, one alliance leader managed to take over a whole mass of EVE space with his fleets in a six month campaign. Try doing that in Runescape/WoW.
Like I said though, I'd play EVE forever if the combat didn't bore me to tears. Clearly it isn't my type of game, but I wish it was more like
Wing Commander or some other space sim gameplay. Of course that is why I'm looking forward to Jumpgate:Evolution.
Well, the length of time it takes for a level and the way you get it basically makes EVE one big grindfest.
But I have heard good things of its overall PvM and stuff.
You don't have to be online to level Ray. There is nothing grindy about the game at all.
And it hardly has any PvM worth mentioning. You really have no clue, do you.
