EVE vs WOW

mtjdavis · 1 May 2006 at 15:39

Recently tried EVE and WoW on trials, thought they were both quite good and ive decided to try a subscription for either, but i dont know which to pick.
I would pick myself, but i dont think ive played long enough to see the whole game.

Any one got any advice?

And a couple of questions:
Which is better in terms of how long you canplay before, play becomes reptitive?
Which is better long term for begginers?
Which is more user friendly and easy to pick up?

Also which do you think is best?

Hmmmmmm, kinda angling for EVE at the moment.

Just a quick Q:
Does EVE's skill times get annoying, say if you need to wait a week? Is it possible to learn a skill which allows you to learn more than 1 thing a once?

When you start eve it can be very boring, just constantly mining.....

Well ive already had a few days mining, found it quite fun and interesting.
Even had some kind soul give me 10mil ISK, brought meself an industrial ship to realise i didnt have the right skills

I think ill probably go with eve, sounds more interesting

Stuff you can do in Eve:
Mine to
- Build
- Sell minerals
- Store mineral's as assets
- Take out contracts to supply corps
- High end mineral's to get rich quick
Pirate
- Go around blowing up everything and anything for no reason
- Belt piracy to ransom ships for ISK
Build a corp/Run a corp to
- See mine (in a group)
- See piracy (in a group)
- declare war on other corps
- declare war on alliances
- form an alliance
- Hunt pirates
- Take out contracts to destroy others
- Make friends

Thats a quick list off the top of my head. I've also played World of Warcraft for a few months and found it highly boring. I only got to level 38 before I had to quit due to it being so dull in my opinion. However, I heard it does get better as you get to the higher levels.

Is piracy worth doing or is there to much risk?
And whats belt piracy?

I started EVE Online 3 months ago, I went straight to a pirate corp with just have bought me a Battlecrusier and im ratting happily in 0.0, nade 50 mill on monday

EVE >>>> WoW

out of curiosity do you think its more beneficial (big word) to play pirate or bounty hunter?
I know you can ransom as a pirate but does it work both ways?

I agree medals would be cool, but a long as no stat bonuses would be attached.

Is there any good corps to look up?

tough one. played both.

played eve for over a year. played WoW for about 4 months.

I prefered eve, but I was an eve-radio DJ, made the game loads more interactive, to the point of not actually having time to play the game!

Never heard of them, what do they do?

joined a crop, but should i work on the corp or story missions?
Also whats the best asteroid type to mine in a system above 0.5(security)?
