yes. thats why i said not per server but for the site installation .. wow has so many realms which each handle about 5k(?) players


Yes I'm sure the server cap for WoW is either 5k or 10k at the most.

WoW certainly suits the the more casual gamer and has a much younger average age all told.

EvE is certainly more of a time sink but due to the lack of a rigid gameplay framework and consequences for all your actions seems to appeal more to an older and dare I say more hardcore playerbase.

I certainly respect Blizzard for really a trually polished and far reaching product (certainly good for the gaming industry)
My respect for CCP comes from them really pushing the boundaries, be it server hardware, the coding they use/invent or the fact that they started with 10 people in a shed and did not give up.

Skillpoints mean enough, I've explained this to people back in those days. People rushing into battleships and I took them down in low end cruisers. Simply because I had a mad amount of skillpoints.
Though I sold my account and my secondary got banned. Starting from scratch will just suck.

i completely disagree
teamwork is all that matter in pvp, u could have a gazilion sp, 2 or 3 noobs could still take u out with adequate ships (1 ew, 2 high damage), reason goonswarm has got where they are now :)
they introduced guerrila warfare to wave, using cheapo ships vs t2 fleets and blob them (they had/have huge numbers), they conquered a large chunk of 0.0 without need of 1337 sp :nutkick:

You notice how my example applies to 1v1 and yours applies to 3v1 or even more?

EVE update: CCP are making a new component of EVE by adding first person avatars and therefore by extension an FPS dimension to the game!

So I download the 14 day trial, going through opening cinema and "5min till server shut down" gah, why did I have to wake up at 4am? Either way just downloaded the better graphics patch, don't know if I'll stay up to give it a shot once servers come back up.

Highly doubt this will yank me from WoW's grasps, but always nice to dabble and see what the market has to offer. I have a feeling Bioware's Star Wars mmo will be my next choice.

**EDIT**

Servers are back up and I created my character, mildly impressed with the tweaking of facial features, not as good as Age of conan, but still really nice, but hwy can't I change my haircut :/

Now to sound n00bish, I never really looked into Eve, I heard it was a pretty hardcore mmo and I play WoW a ton so I never had time to look at it. I assume there ism ore to this game then flying this damned ship. Thats fun and all, but I'm not so much into that as I am into controlling a character.

err, no, u can't YET leave ur ship and walk around like wow or some other mmo, that will arrive 10th march, but i rly don't see a point in leaving ur ship in a spaceship game lol, think of ur spaceship as your character, good thing is u can change ur ship (character)

also at any times don't comment u play wow, one of the past time on major trade hubs is to make fun of nubcakes wow players asking for help

(eve players generally hate wow)

I played AoC in beta and trust me I heard enough WoW bashing there, but almost every game has borrowed from it, so there isn't much ground for it to stand on. But thanks for the info.

But I don't really see how Eve players would hate WoW, it's a space flight game, yes mmo, but really not even aimed at the same playing type. The people you hate are the people who started playing WoW as their first videogame, and thats alot of people. WoW introduced alot of people to videogames, but there are are also alot of hardcore gamers that play the game. And I am not one of those n00bs that never touched a game before. I've owned at fps's and other mmo's before and will continue to do so. Hopefully that adds a better view to it.

I really liked EVE when I played it, but the biggest downside is I couldn't control my ship well enough. I mean from what I saw its basically 'orbit at this distance and fire!'. And while that may work for capital ships, I've always had the urge to hunker down in a cockpit and dogfight my way through stuff. I mean in space sims I'd shoot gaps, barrel roll and other classic top gun manouvers. I was really hoping that I'd see that and without I wasn't able to convince myself to stay over the bumpy learning curve.

Just a quick correction with regard to the Ambulation (aka Walking in stations) patch

This patch will NOT be available come march.

The March patch is T3 ships / modules and exploration wormholes. CCP have also stated that the premium graphics update will be completed by then - procedural planet rendering, new moons, effects, asteroid belts etc (and no doubt a myriad other things)

Ambulation is looking to become the christmas/winter 2009 patch.
