I play it... Here & there... I made many posts about eve, not many people were interested... 2 games i've been playing for a very long time, Eve and Rf Online. Reason i don't play anymore is because sangsogin, xantem, zenarchi and other rl friends don't play anymore. |

I have a question. would it run on a mac? And is it one of those games that i would need to dedicate hours at a time in front of my monitor in order to get anything done? or is it something i could leave on screen and check every so often, or log on maybe once a day? My brother and I want to start playing, but before we buy an account and what not, we wana know what we are getting ourselves into. |

Yes it runs on a mac, afaik... Eve is like every other game in the aspect of dedication, yes you will need to spend time on eve to get things acomplished. You can just leave your skills running and learning and you don't have to "exp your toon" in order to "level it up". I say you try it but don't stop playing untill you get to battlecruisers, the game grind is the start but if you choose the right path you'll have an easier start. It's a very fun yet complex game and it has huge PVE & PVP playability. |

You also need to get connections rather quickly. With good connections you can bypass much of the minutia and barrel-scraping. Also, the war is the most interesting part of the game. |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/cmp/20071023/tc_cmp/202600388 On Friday, Eve Online, a popular online multiplayer science fiction game, went offline to close a security breach. ADVERTISEMENT In a statement posted on the Web site of CCP, the Reykjavik, Iceland-based company that runs the game, chief operating officer Jon Horodal said that at 10:25 GMT CCP personnel discovered an anomaly in the Eve Online database that pointed to an exploit. Following a security review, the company took its game offline to inspect its infrastructure. "What we discovered was an indication that one of our databases was being accessed through a security breach," said Horodal. "While some may feel that such a drastic reaction was not warranted, it is always our approach to err on the side of caution in order to protect the players." According to Horodal, the security breach has been identified and closed. Three previous uses of the exploit have been identified; no personal information or credit card numbers were exposed. Service was restored at 22:00 GMT and the company said it would continue to monitor the situation. Posts to the Eve Online Forums suggest that one of the CCP database administrators fell victim to a keylogger, but CCP personnel have downplayed such claims as rumor. Rumors apparently spread quickly following the service shutdown because the game's forums are hosted on the same infrastructure as the game's database. An Eve Online community manager said in a post that eventually the forums would run on separate hardware. "The most likely scenario is that the Eve operational team has a live Internet connection and that a worm or other tool was used to access the game database," said Steven Davis, CEO of game security company SecurePlay, in a blog post. Eve Online has weathered previous security scandals, one of which in the summer of 2006 involved an insider accused of giving valuable game information to players.

That's hardly "hella-hacked". It's still the most secure game because there's only one server and a lot of micromanagement by the company. |
