sometimes its not the sheer numbers:
my fav "battle" was really low key, in Westfall, waaaaay back in wow:)
I traveled with 2 guildies, all on our low lvl alts when a max lvl (60 at the time) troll hunter found us and proceeded on a jolly old ganking session immediately
I asked my friends to keep him busy until I could get my arena geared warrior down there from SW
simply never will forget the moment when I charged him right off the horse, feared his pet and made very quick work of him
simply never will forget the sweet taste of just revenge, been a pvp-freak ever since:D

@Sorithal
hmm i think u might be jumping to silly conclusions there m8
i'm male, in my 30s, married, i spend 8+ hrs per week in the gym and i follow my football( soccer for u americans:P) team around each weekend(this normally involves a lot of pints and the occasional brawl here and there)
yet i almost never play male chars in any game, my mains are always female
i rather think guys that are 60kg with glasses tend to play big, strong males in mmo-s - so at least in the virtual world they can feel big and strong - for once..
FLAME ON!!!

:D

SWTOR

all the "want to be walking in stations" people are prolly in the wrong game anyway

also, just been confirmed, the next expansion will NOT give u the ability to dance naked on mailboxes either, sooorry

@Dynty
ya but u dunno how to fly them
i mean u have the ingame skillset, but u don't have any real experience and any good pvp-er will take u down on first sight
there's ur imba ship gone, ur plex gone and u prolly end up bitching b@llshit on forums...

@Brendan Drain
Brendan let me say first I normally luuv ur articles:D

however I'd join the naysayers on this one,
also pointing out that comparing LOTRO or any other of that sort of game is completely ignoring the (one of the) main attractions of EVE : single server setup

LoTRO or DDO can easily set up as many additional servers as needed to cater for the influx of f2p folks, but I somehow doubt that it is even technically possible for CCP, or any other company for that matter to log in an extra unknown_times_10k or so players without unbelievable LAAAAAGGGGGG,
thus it would completely ruin the experience for old and new players alike

paying sub or buying PLEX, at the end of the day each and every EVE player currently pays CCP (in the case of PLEX based players, have someone else to pay CCP for them),
based on my experience, being a newish player I'm yet to see any evening really sporting below 40k concurrent players, which tells me that we have a steady and dedicated playerbase

no disrespect for f2p players, but that is just the way I like my game to be, if you're out for quick thrills EVE probably is just not the game for you

I don't hate TOR, just didn't like it enuff to sub after the free month
doesn't mean others can't have fun with it

so what's all the hassle here?

you like it - play it
you don't - go play something else and leave these guyz alone:D

I only play for 4 months and at that stage I still have the jukebox on all the time
having said that, in other games that period is a week or so before I switch it off
and than you always have EVE Radio as well:)

I was in early release from day one, I unsubbed like a week ago already
such promise of a great game, sooooooooooo badly executed

makes me real sad

EVE online in October, although I have kept an eye on it for a looong time before that
it's so much different from the others i played - WOW, LOTRO, RIFT and very briefly SWTOR now - that being the fastest burnout in my 6 yrs of gaming:(

so I guess 7 yrs in my case
