About
Eve Online is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) set in the colonial space in the distant future where each player takes command of one of the five major races and customizable fleets through a galaxy of over 7,500 star systems. Since its release in May 2003, the game has attracted more than 400,000 subscribers and received several awards.
History
Eve Online was developed by CCP Games and released in North America and Europe in May 2003. The developers were inspired by games like Ultima Online, specifically the permanent loss of items. This forms the core of EVE’s gameplay: if something can be bought or made, it can be destroyed. EVE started as a fairly niche, if expanding, game, but quickly developed a loyal fanbase. It gained a reputation for its horrifying difficulty curve.
