Re: Eve Online Been playing since November 2005, so a bit over 4 years, though I took a few breaks of 2-3 months...
I wrote a guide on mining which made me famous, then 1.5 year ago I founded my own corp and alliance. Our alliance was recently kicked out of Geminate after the Northern Coalition, a major team-up of the biggest and most powerful alliances up North (from Vale of the Silent all the way to Cloud Rings, Venal excluded), which we are a member of, was forced to fight on two fronts (Pure Blind against Triumvirate mkIII, Ev0ke and their pets, and Geminate, against Atlas, Solar, XXXXXLeGionxXxXx, all of the fucking russian block and all their pets. The war lasted two months and since Dominion, the latest expansion, the game is utterly fucked in fleet battles. Local chat would spike well above 1000 people and while it was lag free before, it turned into a mess... nodes would crash, grid wouldn't load... basically the game mechanics forced fleet battles of several hundred people, but the server no longer supports it...
Here is an influence map of the entire EVE-verse updated once a day to reflect sovereignty holders.

DOTLAN.Eve statistics, top alliances according to systems held, outposts, or membership count. Site is a bit bugged at the moment but you'll get the idea.

My alliance (of which I am the co founder and no longer run full time. I once took a sabbatical off work and university and ended up being too bored and took on this EVE project... running a 0.0 alliance is a full time job).

In the end EVE is a very diverse game but it is not for the impatient or the weak. PvP penalty is fierce, the learning curve steep, and the 0.0 life ruthless and sometimes, frustrating... it's a perfect micro simulation of a capitalist world driven by corporatism, where even the economy is 95% player driven...from the building blocks needed to the final products on market. |
