Just pointing out that they seemed to miss the point of the article.

Hum, you guyz realize that the article wasn't about CG or Concept art cinematics right?

EVE IS complicated. Not that it's a problem. But don't fool yourself into thinking that EVE's got a low barrier of entry. The game is probably less complicated then it looks but it does nothing to show it and could definitely benefit from a little hand-holding just to get you started.

Starting playing EVE is like sitting inside the cockpit of the space shuttle and someone tells you: "Go to the moon now!".

EVE looks fun, but the amount of information it throws at you when you log-in for the first time is a complete turn-off.

On the other hand, it makes it feel like an elite-club and maybe that's what they are shooting for.

On topic: best virtual world for me: Planetside. The second you go in and join a battle you completely forgot there's a "real world" outside. Best MMO experience I ever had.

I say:
- Drop the onland side of the game and concentrate on the fun naval battle, crew improvment, port take-over, ocean discoveries, etc.

- Drop the subscription model for a free-to-play one. Ain't gonna pay 15$ a month for a game I would only play once in a while but I would definitely pay some bucks here and there to improve my experience as I see fit.
