If they can get the bugs worked out in the next few weeks, STO will most MMOs a run for their money.

I'd like to think that STO will be it's own character and give a new flavor to MMO's altogether.

I don't know if it will take eve's players away, but I think they may enjoy double dipping abit. I dont see why they would leave eve unless they just give up on it because they are bored of it.

I agree totally.....2 things that make it too hard for me to play more the one at at time.
1) Time - With work and family, too much time is taken.
2) Money - Especailly since my son also plays, too many monthly charges and that equals "Angry wife" syndrome

I currently have accounts open in WoW but I will be suspending them for awhile. However, I will let my guildies know so they don't think I just disappeared. That is one thing I don't like about MMO's, no one says goodbye, they just vanish.

If you are going to leave us and you were a very active player in the games on in the Fleet, please say goodbye. You can always come back.

EVE is probably one of the bigger hardcore timesinks out there. Even with being able to sit back and watch your skills grow over time, I always found you needed to be online constantly just to keep up financially.

I think STO will have a wider appeal and should be a lot easier for people to get to grips with (the one important lesson from wow is that anyone can play it). The only areas where it really pales in comparison to EVE are the server architecture that allows large numbers of ships to be within one sector, and the overall sandbox nature.

I played a couple of years ago, tried to get back in recently but did not find a corp I liked :/

I think STO is going to be much more mellow and casual than Eve (this could be either positive or negative), for me it's a positive thing as keeping up in eve (making money, expanding, politics, etc..) can be pretty time consuming.. What I do Love about EVE is that the combat and ship handling is very nice, not so "arcade-ish" as STO, which is pretty basic/easy by comparison. I will also miss the way the community affects the game (by corp wars, controlling area's of space, etc..) and the advanced economy.

There is nothing like going to war in EVE online, the excitement of flying there in a half-insured battleship worth hundreds of millions, going from system to system looking for the enemy fleet, splitting up into groups, guarding gates, and all those fun tactics that developed. I'll always remember that big boom from taking down our first POS/Titan

Hopefully STO will be fun and social and have other strengths

The same thing I'll miss is the same thing I hope they don't bring in to STO, the complexity of Eve is amazing but at the same time a pain in the ass, being able to control your own regions and the tactics used in game are second to non in my opinion. but when it come to construction, christ you nearly need a phd to get in to the Tech 2 side of things.

The fights i will miss, as you said Klogd it is exciting, theirs a mad buzz flying a ship in to battle you spent a month putting together and might never see it again and being able to affect world events.

I hope i see that kind of thing in star trek, but the building, scanning, WH's and skills training method can all stay in eve.

EVE is pulling mostly from players of MMOs, while I think STO will be pulling from players of MMOs and fans of Star Trek, in essence appealing to and drawing from two different groups. I certainly hope and think STO will give EVE a run and be good and competitive!
