I had a friend get really deep into Eve, after he'd been playing it for a few years he finally convinced me to jump on too. I played it for about 18 months and while it was definitely something different from all the fantasy MMO's and Eve's in game market had a ton of depth and built in analytics I just never really got into the whole thing. At least in my experience it was far more fun to read about all the crazy giant space battles and people beefing over turf than it was to actually play the game. Still, every now and again I kinda want to play it, but what I really want is a sci-fi MMO where you're in the actually in the cockpit controlling the ship not just plotting points and telling it where to go. I'm kinda hoping Star Citizen will fill that niche for me.
