The five misconceptions about EVE Online

Filed under: Sci-fi, EVE Online, Reviews

EVE Online is not all about blasters, hokey religions, and mining some mean asteroids. Newbies are not blasted at every moment, their wrecks lining the EVE universe as a testament to the power of skill points. Heck, you do not have to focus on fighting. After all, there is more than one way to pop a pod! RPG Vault tackles such common misconceptions about EVE and attempts to shed some light on what really goes on in deep space.

They hit the nail on the head in more ways than one. Take for example, the EVE skill system. It is a detailed skill system designed so the casual player can train and still earn a paycheck, feed the dog, and maintain forward progress. Does that forward progress call for camping gates, destroying players, and leading a massive alliance onto glory? No, not at all! A player selling the simplest of vessels, the frigate, can have a huge impact on the economy. Some folks even spend most of their time on alts, spying and infiltrating other corporations, without a focus on any profession other than espionage. There are plenty of things to do and RPG Vault makes sure gamers considering getting plugged into a capsule have their heads on straight.
