A little under five years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a new online game he was playing called EVE Online. A key part of his pitch was that the game was less than a year old and I should get in on the ground floor. My friend correctly anticipated the massive success that EVE would be and that it would be good to get involved as early as possible. Over the years, that decision to start playing EVE in early 2004 has afforded me a lot of opportunities, not least of all being able to contribute to EON magazine and finally become a columnist here at Massively.

Getting in on the ground floor:
Five years down the line from EVE day one, it's easy for new players or those that want to sign up to feel like they've missed the boat and can't achieve what the older players have. In the same way that my friend introduced me to EVE, it's my turn to try and convince people that they can still get in on the ground floor of something new and immense. With two major expansions coming soon, including the revolutionary "Walking in Stations" expansion, I firmly believe that right now could be the best time in five years to get in on the ground floor of the incredible on-going journey that is EVE Online.

In this article, I discuss the reasons why EVE will continue to endure for the foreseeable future and how getting involved now could be just as good as getting involved from day one.

We sent out the call for more screenshots from Tabula Rasa, and our readers Shadow Wind and Mark 'Jukovic' Benson have stepped up to offer up a veritable feast of Tabula Rasa goodness for the eyes! Today's lovely screenshot was described as the "obligatory hybrid alt." We're glad to see that alt-itus is rampaging around the galaxy at a good pace. (And also glad to know we're not the only ones with it!)

Now we'll send out the call to the rest of you -- from AO to Zu Online, all screens are welcomed! The next time you're wandering around your game-world and see something cool, fun, interesting, beautiful, or exciting, snag a screenshot and send it to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com. We love seeing new things.
