[@dudds6699]

MrMassivemeatlog Keep in mind that not one person paid the 300,000 dollars its all based on isk to plex pricing at that time.

[@SargeRho]

MrMassivemeatlog And not a single (or not a lot of) real money was spent exept for subscriptions and the odd PLEX. The battle did not actually cost that much money. If every ship was financed through plex, it would have cost that. Obviously, that's not the case.

I started playing EVE because of this trailer. At the time I thought "friends you'll know for the rest of your life" was more than a little hyperbolic. But it's been 13 years, I still play, and I'm still friends with half the guys from my first corporation. There's really nothing else like it.

[@scream2749]

Yeah seriously! I still come back to this video and show it to people and let them know this is the video that got me into EVE online

[@foolchecker123]

This trailer got me into eve and I have been in love with it ever since. You take breaks from eve but you always end up coming back no matter how hard you try !

[@hammer326]

LOL aint that the truth. Them being the only MMO (at least of a dozen or more subscription based ones Ive played) that actively email out 10 day "come on back and see whats up" vouchers doesn't hurt either.

[@ARWINGx1]

kind of the same with me... but... it may be just for now, but it feels like the game relies too much on that a player's progress depends on their friends/corp. In my case, since pretty much only one person have experience with the "Support" ships, (Logistics, EWAR & Interdiction) I mean, I feel like I need some practical experience with those ships, but since only one person have experience with those, and aren't always online...

[@morsmagne]

This used to be the case but improvements in technology mean we now have games such as Albion Online. Sandbox games based on land are better than sandbox games in space because too much space is boring. Eve Online was the best available experience in its day though.

I'll be honest, if either A. I'm armor tanked to the point where I'm fine or B. Going down anyway, I'll finish my mining cycle as my personal "Fuck you." to whoever is trying to kill me.

[@Pottan23]

I met the leader of my corp because I was derping around in hisec mining in a punisher he was there mining as well and I locked on him but didn't do anything, i was such a noob back then I didn't even relaize other players could tell when you locked on them lol. He sent me a message; "I have a couple of questions, why did you lock on me and why the hell are you mining in a punisher?" And that's how it started. You might think this trailer is over the top and it is in some regards but the sandbox is real. God I miss playing this game sometimes.

[@otakucode]

I played a MUD (text-based multiplayer game) constantly between the ages of 12 to 18. When Everquest came out, I was so excited to have a similar experience but in 3D... then I actually played it. And other MMORPGs. Every one was a disappointment. In the MUD I played, players knew each other. Players made an impact on the world. I'm 35 now and I can still recall the names of my guildmates and lots of the equipment they wore and exploits we had together, along with the exploits of many others in the game. The MMOs? Nothing. Because there are multiple worlds, the best anyone can do is become a cookie-cutter clone of a thousand other players that look just like them. The benefit of having only 1 world is something more games should investigate. Strictly limited items, of which only 1 or 2 might exist in the whole world, and the ability for players to interact with the 'gods' of the realm and make lasting changes lifts the playing experience to a whole different level. If I had the time, I imagine I would love EVE.

[@sexydebang]

230 countries?

[@guilleratcon4357]

In 2009 there only was 230 countries :(

[@CompletelyAnonymous7]

"Imagine what you could become a part of. Being at the right place, at the right time, could touch the lives of more than 300,000 people in 230 countries around the world." That's pretty impressive considering there are only 195 countries on Earth, and I'm sure at least of few of those don't have internet access. ::CCP maths::

[@mosipd]

I was looking in the comments on this video for someone to address that point, their math is a tad bit off I'd say LOL.

[@Acemanveryspecial]

Well.... There are countries that aren't officially recognized as countries and therefore aren't counted on the official list. So there might very well be 230, just some aren't recognized by the statisticians.

This is the video that got me into Eve, and here I am 13 years later!

[@xiko2745]

I wasn't talking about the titan, I was talking about the second paragraph. The one universe and full pvp in eve actually enforces you to learn or quit. Mittani's article in tentohammer really nailed it and that is the reason that I play. Btw, when you make the same mistake twice you actually learned to recognize the situation. I really love this feature in the game. Btw, to be ambushed is to fly without a scout and when you do that you must be prepared to lose. It isn't a "mistake"

Actually I really like this video because its sending a bigger message than just Eve - its really speaking to all gamers to take their actions seriously, which is exactly what needs to happen so you dont just get a "thx". Im thinking about getting back into Eve, I wasnt impressed after the 14 day trial but that was a year ago...

[@Crotalus206]

Although the events in this video would be unlikely to happen to most people, it demonstrates the most important point of EVE Online: sandbox gameplay. The game doesn't limit you to a path or tell you what to do. You make your own choices, find your own way of living, and experience whatever consequences result.

[@joelprice4565]

This is by far the best game I have ever played, Nothing can compare to the freedom, it's truly a second life, full of opportunity, fame and glory. No game has ever given me a true adrenelin rush, except for eve. My heart goes a million miles an hour and the adrenalin hit kicks in almost every time i'm warping in to a potential kill, It's not just your ship and isk at stake, it's your reputation and respect. If you have ever really wanted to get lost in a new world, this is it. great vid btw.

[@MaunoMato99]

Nice video, gives glimps on what combat looks like, those were all in-game shots too. EVE Online = most rewarding MMO ever, the learning curve also filters out the impatient and annoying people out of the game, not all but most of them.

[@CanadianISP]

I had heard bad reviews about Eve for a couple of years, so I'd never bothered trying it until just after Christmas last year. Now, I run a corporation with people from Austria, Sweden, Russia, Australia, England, Canada and the United States. It is *fun*. From mining to trading to massive space battles to exploration to trading to research to diplomacy to politics to chatting with decent people - Eve sums up everything I want in a video game. My only regret is that I waited so long to start.

[@StrikeFiss]

The skill system has it's advantages. Properly planned, a newbie can participate in massive fleet warfare with less than 48 hours training. It's easy to get into ships and new parts, but takes dedication to master them. Sounds like a good balance to me. As for boredom, a lot of people don't try new things. They mine, they mission, then they get bored. Ever try exploring a wormhole? Scanning for complexes? Joining a 0.0 Alliance? Now THAT stuff is fun. :)

I'm not bashing this game or anyone who plays it, I am saying it isn't for everyone. Like you said, "It's easy to get into ships and new parts, but takes dedication to master them." I am (un)fortunately more dedicated to things in the real world that matter more than a video game. That being said, if you have not played it do give it a try. It's a beautiful game and very in-depth. I think CCP is a solid company with a very innovative business model. I wish more MMO companies were like them.

[@haloboy817]

By far the best video game trailer I have ever seen in my life.And that's a lot coming from someone named haloboy.I love halo the most out of any game, but this trailer makes me proud to be a member of Eve Online because unlike most trailers this one is 100% true to what happens in the game.Also I can send out 21-day trials so message me on here and ill email one to you(only 3 people a month).

(New Player asking) IF I'd be in such a situation, (where my ship would survive of course) I mean, that instead of the Minmatar Frigate, a EWAR Cruiser, (specifically Amarr's EWAR ships) would it make sense for such a ship that I'd (at best) try to buy the barge enough time to escape (and then escape myself), OR until backup arrives?

[@filipfenix]

Let say this is you. Solo pvp kitchen sink fit. You try to scan down the barge in lowsec, but the gang fleet of pirates got that faction modules , so the barge instapops. You warp at 20 thinking you can get on that killmail, but you end up being tackled by a Stilleto pilot with no self respect. 4 tengus uncloak and you are sent to Jita 4-1 on a fresh clone. The EVE Butterfly effect.

[@zenniegaming9608]

Why so sour, we were casually popping bait barges in lowsec during our frigate fleets. Glorious times. I just wait for an impulse to stop winning EVE again.

[@Vexoro]

I'm new to EvE and I really need to say that it is the best MMO I've played so far. It's Economysystem is just wonderful, with a little bit of reallife knowledge about economy you can make TONS of isk within the first days/weeks. I think I'm just going to make a lot of isk whilst training some skills, so I can fit a badass PvP ship and then go to 0.0 to learn the PvP aspects of the game. (yes, I know, dont fly to 0.0 with a expensive ship and 0 knowledge of combat :D)

[@FreedomFighterEx]

Eve Trailer always gave me goosebump

[@endOsS1]

[@notsukutsu]

ElMagnfico: It's pretty reasonable. An assault frigate is a pretty decent ship to solo PVP with in 0.0. Not as great as a recon, HAC, interceptor or a SB, but fair enough. It's also possible for a long range artillery fit Wolf to kill or drive off two frigate sized ships, or at least have them come after it and thus stop tackling the miner. And it's not too far fetched to be invited to some alliance as a result. The funny part in this video are the "patrols" with dreads and titans at a gate. :)

[@haZardous47]

@Vexoro if you're, do not go to low/nullsec at all, regardless of how cheap your ship is. you will more than likely be insta-podded by a fleet of battleships/marauders. wait until you have a large corp, or alliance to go into null/lowsec. same goes for wormholes.

[@udoprog]

@wiltbloococo "over 6 billion" is still a correct statement and closely relates to the video. WP states 204 entries, but counting the number of countries is difficult, which still makes the video statement interesting (probably just a mistake!). What you are referring to seems to be ISO-3166 country codes, which as you mention also includes regions like the Falkland Islands, which is a disputed sovereignty. I wasn't trying to be pedantic on the first comment : ).

[@lucasboydjr]

This game has a VERY deep learning curve! I have just begun to play and although it is very epic in scope, I will continue to play and pay, because I know this will be a satisfying experience with no end. A literary comparison of this game is as follows: it's as if Tolstoy's "War and Peace" had a baby with Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", with "Dune" Author Frank Herbert as a "lovable" care taker.

[@smokedeganja]

ive known about eve for years and for the last couple months have finally buckled down. If your new PLEASE dont let eve intimidate you. i know many people who are driven away from the game because hey find it overwhelming, it is VERY rewarding once things get going. With tyrannis comming out, and from what i hear dust following fairly soon after, you can see this game after years of running is still going to new places.

[@Boriqua2481]

Ok the best eve promo ever, makes me want to get Eve and I already play it.

[@Ev3rM0r3]

it always gives you the warp in, in the mission screen you click on the orange link to the system, set destination, undock, warp to it, jump through or stay in system whichever the case is, when you get to the proper system your desitination menu (right click) will say (warp to encounter)... you can't get it wrong. When you get there use your mission log to see your goal, kill npcs, pop a specific target for a drop, or just fly close enough then run and report. Dock and turn in mission.

[@Slackdragon]

I just lost my Hulk (which I'd had for ages) to another Matari assualt frigate ship, the Jaguar. The killer, fortunately, was still in the same belt when I came warping back in in my Wolf. A little pew pew and my armor-tanking Wolf ate his Jag for breakfast. I love my Wolf.

[@SimmanGodz]

[@Korraganitar]

Rewatching this reminds me of the most chaotic situation I ever flew into. I was flying around Syndicate in my tengu, out of my depth and not realizing it. I stop to do a site, get tackled like a moron. Luckily, it is just a random gang, and they are taking forever to break my tank. Unluckily, I am configured for running and cloaking, so I can't kill all their tacklers. I'm sure I'm going to lose my most expensive ship like a complete idiot. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bigger gang drops in on us, and starts shooting at the first gang. I get massively lucky and they happen to kill the last person tackling me first (actually, think I ended up with the finishing blow by chance if I remember right.) I warped the hell away to a safe spot, cloaked up, and hid like a tiny scared baby until I could slip out of the system. Still laugh when I think about the absurd luck. Pretty sure that the bigger gang wanted to kill me too, but luck gave me a break=)

[@draxx85]

Its a game that takes a long time and also a lot of planning. Its a game that can feel boring at times but as soon as u get involved with pvp there is no other game that will give u as much of a rush as this. I am a pirate personally and I love doing it. U can do what u like though which is what makes this game so special. If ur a mature gamer i highly recommend this over WOW.

[@Lirazell]

You're hot.

[@AGrandt]

A cloak and the ability to use it does help, but as you said, it is no grantee that you will not be killed. In fact using a cloak means pirates will be looking that much harder, as they rightfully assume that you may be flying with items of great value. And running into a competent HIC pilot can ruin any transports day/week/month, cloaked or not.

[@GodlyMind]

It's such a great trailer. This does happen. Often times it's the reverse. You are a lonely miner making an honest living and pirates attack. You are plucky and put up a decent defense but ultimately they destroy your ship. They later contact you and during the ensuing conversation invite you to join their band of misfits. The next decision is yours...

I think this video was made to be 100% freindly to the people who haven't played EvE. If they had Aura (the tutorial AI) do it, it would be slightly more confusing for them. Having this guy who sounds alot like the guy pointed the game out to you, makes it seem more viewer friendly.

i migt be an verry rare occasion, but what matters is that its possible, i've been in those random situations often enough, and now i fly with a 400 member alliance, being fleet commander. it rocks that all in eve can be random and "unscripted". like the market thats completeley playerrun, the one server, the groups of people with their territories. i love eve for this, its so complex i still have only scrached the surface after one year of playing. EVE is immence

This is how it would go... "Damn we missed the fleet" "Oh hey a Rifter" "EWAR ONLY ON THE RIFTER" *Rifter dies* "GODDAMNIT JIM I SAID EWAR ONLY!!!"

This video is prophetic. Wolves DO fit arties now, more than autocannons at any rate.
