1. WHO DO I PLAY AS?

You are what is known as a “capsuleer”, a talented pilot hardwired into the interface of a powerful warship. Such a pilot can fulfill the roles of an entire command crew all by himself, managing all aspects of his spaceship from within the armored cocoon of his capsule. They can challenge a number of conventionally piloted ships and emerge victorious. When allied together, they can forge empires out of the empty void of space itself. In EVE you are free to choose your own destiny. You start out as a character from one of the four major factions that rule the universe. Each faction starts off with a very similar skill set and you can develop your character in any direction you want. You are not restricted by predefined character classes or professions. You can trade to make a living, conduct mining operations, market your fighting skills as a mercenary, roam the spacelanes as a pirate, conduct espionage and infiltration, focus on research and manufacturing, or perform increasingly profitable missions for NPC (non-player controlled) agents. What you choose to do day by day is up to you. You can play alone, form a corporation (equivalent to a clan or guild) with a group of friends or seek entrance to any of the large player-run corporations and alliances which are already established. The EVE Universe and its more than 7,600 unique solar systems are yours to explore and conquer.

2. WHERE DOES EVE ONLINE TAKE PLACE?

EVE Online takes place in the far future in an area of space far removed from Earth. EVE Online takes its name from the massive EVE Gate, which enabled humanity to enter the cluster of stars which became known as New Eden. Following the collapse of the EVE Gate and the loss of all contact with Earth, the survivors have developed new thriving civilizations and started seeking their destiny among the stars.

3. WHAT IS MEANT BY “MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER GAME”?

Massively Multiplayer refers to any game which involves hundreds or thousands of users taking part in the same game world at any given time. EVE Online has played host to massive battles between thousands of players at a time affecting the fates of dozens of star systems.

4. WHAT IS MEANT BY “CONTINUOUS AND PERSISTENT WORLD”?

A persistent game world will keep evolving even when a player has gone offline. The game world, and anything the player may have left in it, such as undocked ships, will continue to exist and will be visible to (and possibly destroyed by) other players. It is a living, breathing virtual world which never sleeps and never stops changing through the actions of its players.

PLEX stands for 30 day Pilot License Extension and is another way to pay for your EVE Online subscription. They can also be bought and sold on the in-game market which is one way to add more ISK to your wallet if you need some in a hurry and don’t have the time to earn it by gameplay.

You can buy PLEX from the EVE Online website (and from authorized resellers), sell it in-game and then spend the ISK that you make. The player who buys the PLEX can then use it to add 30 days to their subscription. This system works well for all types of players; some have a lot of ISK in-game and can therefore use that virtual currency that they’ve earned to pay for their game time. Some have less time to play the game, but would still like to have the ISK to buy bigger, better ships and modules, so they can buy PLEX and use the ISK from the sale to get themselves the items that they want.

EVE Online costs $14.95, €14.95 or £9.99 per month. But if you were to subscribe for a longer period, then the cost will drop; a 1 year subscription will cost the equivalent of $10.95, €10.95 or £7.50 per month for example. More on the subscription costs (and costs in other currencies) can be found HERE
