But is EVE the game where a few gaming sites commented about having a gigantic space battle? Like in recent months? ^^;
Yes, actually. Â Here's kind of how it works:
There are areas outside imperial space that are kind of "open dibs". Â Corps like to show up and try to hold them. Â Many form giant alliances. Â Alliances get set in their ways and kind of eye each other warily. Â Then, someone, somewhere, makes a mistake and touches off a giant space battle with all the resources these alliances have been generating.
Being part of one isn't as fun. Â It was more fun to report ship movements since you get to see the whole thing unfold, and being a fleet commander must be brilliant, but being a grunt in those is literally selecting the target that your commander tells you to shoot and hitting F1.
There's a currency exchange where you can buy a months' subscription for real money and sell it on the open market. Â Given how much a PLEX is worth, you can kind-of work out how much ISK (in-game-money) you get for each dollar. Â Given that, some of these fights cost thousands of equivalent dollars.
Personally, the most fun I had was running around wormhole space on a recon frigate, though. Â The game's entertaining, it just makes almost all the rest of the actual players, at best, an annoyance. Â I'd probably like it better if no one else was there. Â That's sort of why I don't like it. Â What's the point of an MMO if you're having more fun without the other players?
