- What does a single-shard, persistent world do for gameplay?
What can one persons actions mean for over 300,000 people?
EVE is an unscripted, emergent experience.
Start exploring Eve Online with a free 14 day trial:

or instead of helping pirates or the barge you could just forget to pay your bills and you know, cause a battle costing over $300,000
That should be Pandemic Legion effect
sauce? I'm really interested to hear this story, did a quick google search but found nothing. So please do tell!!!

MrMassivemeatlog Keep in mind that not one person paid the 300,000 dollars its all based on isk to plex pricing at that time.
MrMassivemeatlog And not a single (or not a lot of) real money was spent exept for subscriptions and the odd PLEX. The battle did not actually cost that much money. If every ship was financed through plex, it would have cost that. Obviously, that's not the case.
"Realize that by undocking your ship, you are agreeing to non-consensual PvP"
Plot twist.
He work as spy for enemy alliance.
+Vlastimir de gol Haha, I too was truly expecting him to rob the friendly corp's PoS for billions worth of loot before 2 minute mark. Even after seeing this a couple years back already...
more like, for the pirates
Varis, i was expecting that friendly gang would kill the savior, because... why not? :) killmail is killmail :)
Curse you foreseen and inevitable betrayal... Oh oh gosh no oh lord in heaven... =P
Wash stop playing with your dinosaurs !
RIP B.O.B.
I started playing EVE because of this trailer. At the time I thought "friends you'll know for the rest of your life" was more than a little hyperbolic. But it's been 13 years, I still play, and I'm still friends with half the guys from my first corporation. There's really nothing else like it.
Yeah seriously! I still come back to this video and show it to people and let them know this is the video that got me into EVE online
This trailer got me into eve and I have been in love with it ever since. You take breaks from eve but you always end up coming back no matter how hard you try !
LOL aint that the truth. Them being the only MMO (at least of a dozen or more subscription based ones Ive played) that actively email out 10 day "come on back and see whats up" vouchers doesn't hurt either.
kind of the same with me... but... it may be just for now, but it feels like the game relies too much on that a player's progress depends on their friends/corp.
In my case, since pretty much only one person have experience with the "Support" ships, (Logistics, EWAR & Interdiction) I mean, I feel like I need some practical experience with those ships, but since only one person have experience with those, and aren't always online...
This used to be the case but improvements in technology mean we now have games such as Albion Online. Sandbox games based on land are better than sandbox games in space because too much space is boring. Eve Online was the best available experience in its day though.
Yup 18+ years now
I met the leader of my corp because I was derping around in hisec mining in a punisher he was there mining as well and I locked on him but didn't do anything, i was such a noob back then I didn't even relaize other players could tell when you locked on them lol.
He sent me a message; "I have a couple of questions, why did you lock on me and why the hell are you mining in a punisher?"
And that's how it started. You might think this trailer is over the top and it is in some regards but the sandbox is real. God I miss playing this game sometimes.
Eve online free to play in November. come back in man
Is that corp still around? I just got into EVE and will inevitably be looking for a group to join.
Corp is long since disbanded but there'll be plenty of people out there recruiting.
Reminds me of the first corp I joined. I was just starting out and mining in a Bantam. I find an Apocalypse in a high sec belt mining away. I amuse myself by ramming his ship, so then he messages me and one conversation later I'm in a player corp.
...abused...
"oh I'm getting attacked let me just continue mining"
I'll be honest, if either A. I'm armor tanked to the point where I'm fine or B. Going down anyway, I'll finish my mining cycle as my personal "Fuck you." to whoever is trying to kill me.
Nightshade haha thats pretty funny ill admit
Like only a true miner would.
As someone who killed over 500 miners, this is exactly what miners do. Hell, half of them don't even realize they blew up till 5 minutes later.
If only they followed the Code...
This is you, in your travels you forgot to pay the rent...
"...when minding your own business, you realize you started a $300,000 war."
Omg
"One lone wolf." lol puns ftw
@Saber SMAW I think a wolf can beat 2 t1 frigates
I played a MUD (text-based multiplayer game) constantly between the ages of 12 to 18. When Everquest came out, I was so excited to have a similar experience but in 3D... then I actually played it. And other MMORPGs. Every one was a disappointment. In the MUD I played, players knew each other. Players made an impact on the world. I'm 35 now and I can still recall the names of my guildmates and lots of the equipment they wore and exploits we had together, along with the exploits of many others in the game. The MMOs? Nothing. Because there are multiple worlds, the best anyone can do is become a cookie-cutter clone of a thousand other players that look just like them. The benefit of having only 1 world is something more games should investigate. Strictly limited items, of which only 1 or 2 might exist in the whole world, and the ability for players to interact with the 'gods' of the realm and make lasting changes lifts the playing experience to a whole different level. If I had the time, I imagine I would love EVE.
1. that hulk whould die in seconds, 2. that rifter whould most likley get reckt sawell, 3. who the hell solomine in a hulk in nullsec at the frontline of an ongoing war?
+Lurkens Kanal Actually that was a Covetor, also. It was the only mining ship that had flames shooting out the sides. This video was made before all the cosmetic changes and the mining ships didn't have ore bays at the time. Everything was stored in one big cargo hold. Yes, they were used as haulers in high sec.
+burnouttx Well those aren't exactly tanky either, once I shrekt one with my thrasher so quick that the Navy Augaror sitting next to it didn't even lock me in time.
In reality this is what happens, you help that miner and he thanks you, his friends show and and also Thank you, then they blow you up and continue on their way.
not really lol come on man.
Ahmad Al-Sarraj That would make perfect sense in a totally unscripted world. I don't see how that can be interpreted as bad. that is The mistake you made by helping the wrong person.
Our alliance does have a kill on sight policy for non members (plus most of us would just do it for fun anyway)
@@entitygamma1792 Sounds like yall's corp has a recruitment crisis on its hands then, if all you do is kill anyone not already a member.
@@RenegadeElite101 It's Pandemic Horde so we have enough members to not really worry
the music in this video is so much better then the ingame music. can we do something about that?
Yup.. Play a song on the PC and mute the Music from the Game!
Ok i'm being sarcastic... i feel u. most intense/cool music will be played automatically during fights or when u travel to null. imo
i chew rocks in HS. maybe i should go to the dark side!
Pu Koh yes u should! in the mean time, how about we roam the hi-sec for some rocks ?
EVE need a internal jukebox for chose songs...
Ilkner Silva i think it had one on the earlier days! if true, too bad they removed it :(
I got into a alliance because of my name. Poops mcpooper
thats a shitty name
@@insanezombieman753 and that's a crappy joke
Well, I got into my current corporation in eve because they tried to kill me in a wormhole. Decided to do gas huffing in there although I don't do that often. Got out in time, had a funny conversation with them and joined them a bit later.
Great game!
Wow. The charts from 11 years ago don't look bad.
2019 and I still play.
Invite you to fly with them? PFFT! give me a break, they would of insta locked and no prizes for guessing the rest of this scenario...
This is similar to how I met my fleet
and died multiple times from jumping too early..............
I really miss the old portraits. Minmatar, Amarr, Gallante, and Caldari characters all had their special unique look, and now they all look the same.
Absolutely stunning.
I can't believe a game of this caliber exists.
Wait... was that spider-tanked armor repping Rohks I saw?
This is LITERALLY how I've spent nearly 16 years getting to be part of and have fun with some of the best guys and gals from 6 continents and timezones znd made friends for life.
What an absolutely brilliant piece of work. Truly mind blowing, tempts me to want to play this game.
...A dreadnought doing a 'patrol'. Funny.
Dude, i've seen guys self destruct dreadnoughts just because. Also you always hear storys of guys mining in capital ships and stupid shit, because why the fuck not. Hell I've even seen a nilgafar (how ever that fucker is spelled) attempt to do a lvl 5 mission.
John, the funny thing is the map of the conflict. Insmother (npc) region as a seed point? Really? :)
btw, i used to fly exactly there.
I remember going on a dessie down roam that ended up bringing a Phoenix along.
Blue Shift back when this video was made capitals could not use stargates they had to jump drives or wormholes if they wanted to leave the system
Which is hilarious cuz now they can... kek
this just made me want to play.
Do that! Play Eve! trust me.. you'll get angry.. sometimes u'll get bored.. sometimes u'll freakout! most of the time u'll be wondering wt the fuc* is going on .. but you'll never ever ever regret it!
Ahmad Al-Sarraj The first time i played it i was like yeah Mining is cool and soo boring but xD It made my day just to Mine those asteroids
Animeconsole we should fly together mate!
Was it worth it?
This is the video that got me into Eve, and here I am 13 years later!
"you become part of a epic battle that involes thousands of players, all at 10% of actual speed with incredible lag, and hope to god the node doesnt crash. EVE ONLINE"
230 countries?
In 2009 there only was 230 countries :(
I don't want to brag or anything but one time i saw a mining ship and i went Pew Pew and it blew up.
TheTemplarnight How is that bragging? That's the single easiest thing to do in the game. That's literally like saying "I don't mean to brag but last time I played Super Mario Bros, I killed a Goomba all by myself."
TheHolyMackarel Oh... My... we have a stupid one here, this was 100% sarcasm..
I play eve for almost 2 years now and tbh this is the best video I have seen so far.
EVE itself is just great, even after 2 years there is still a lot waiting for me ahead :)
Great video. This is a much better advertising tool than the other videos they have put out.
"Imagine what you could become a part of. Being at the right place, at the right time, could touch the lives of more than 300,000 people in 230 countries around the world."
That's pretty impressive considering there are only 195 countries on Earth, and I'm sure at least of few of those don't have internet access.
::CCP maths::
I was looking in the comments on this video for someone to address that point, their math is a tad bit off I'd say LOL.
Well.... There are countries that aren't officially recognized as countries and therefore aren't counted on the official list. So there might very well be 230, just some aren't recognized by the statisticians.
лол, а русский пират убил бы и шахтера и фриги крутящие орбиту возле него , а потом и наказал прилетевшую компанию из карибасов которая мимоходом летела на КТА :D
you are right
What was the Rifter's first low slot fitting? The other one was an armor repairer, but I couldn't see the other one.
The trailer that hooked me into the game that i have played for the last 11 and a half years lol
I wasn't talking about the titan, I was talking about the second paragraph.
The one universe and full pvp in eve actually enforces you to learn or quit. Mittani's article in tentohammer really nailed it and that is the reason that I play.
Btw, when you make the same mistake twice you actually learned to recognize the situation. I really love this feature in the game.
Btw, to be ambushed is to fly without a scout and when you do that you must be prepared to lose. It isn't a "mistake"
Holy crap this was so well made.
EVE is insane. There are so many options and it is so player-driven. It really is the most immersive and best MMO I've played, thus far.
All the old graphics ... slowly but surely this vids becomes part of the nostalgia.
awesome effect at the ending!
I've got a Rifter and I was looking at that too. I was also wondering, how the hell do you get all those guns on that frigate??
Actually I really like this video because its sending a bigger message than just Eve - its really speaking to all gamers to take their actions seriously, which is exactly what needs to happen so you dont just get a "thx". Im thinking about getting back into Eve, I wasnt impressed after the 14 day trial but that was a year ago...
This is by far the best game I have ever played, Nothing can compare to the freedom, it's truly a second life, full of opportunity, fame and glory. No game has ever given me a true adrenelin rush, except for eve. My heart goes a million miles an hour and the adrenalin hit kicks in almost every time i'm warping in to a potential kill, It's not just your ship and isk at stake, it's your reputation and respect. If you have ever really wanted to get lost in a new world, this is it. great vid btw.
Let say this is you.
Solo pvp kitchen sink fit.
You try to scan down the barge in lowsec, but the gang fleet of pirates got that faction modules , so the barge instapops.
You warp at 20 thinking you can get on that killmail, but you end up being tackled by a Stilleto pilot with no self respect.
4 tengus uncloak and you are sent to Jita 4-1 on a fresh clone.
The EVE Butterfly effect.
Why so sour, we were casually popping bait barges in lowsec during our frigate fleets. Glorious times. I just wait for an impulse to stop winning EVE again.
Awesome!! Hate that the servers are down for so long! :( Tried the trial for 3 days then bought the game from steam! :D
I'm just asking, can you start with that ship or do you have to get later in the game?
The butterfly effect happened a few days ago when a Titan missclicked and warped into a hostile fleet. The subsequent battle cost the CFC 2 more titans and involved about 3k people.
This video and the comments kinda just sold me!
More than 8... EVE's 10th Anniversary celebration is May 6th. There's also an expansion coming June 4th. If you haven't tried EVE yet, NOW is an awesome time to do so. :)
Will the song be available for download? I like it alot :D
Although the events in this video would be unlikely to happen to most people, it demonstrates the most important point of EVE Online: sandbox gameplay. The game doesn't limit you to a path or tell you what to do. You make your own choices, find your own way of living, and experience whatever consequences result.
This trailer still gives me chills.
Beautiful and very smart video!
Amazing how true it is :)
1 large world > separate realms
how do you toggle drones so that they dont have a background, or better still cant see them at all?
I recently got my friend into EVE. He jumped into a Rifter and went PvPing with us straight away. After 1 month, he was flying an interceptor, tackling older players in bigger ships. Noobs aren't worthless.
Have to agree with Haker...though probably not as harshly :(
I've been in fights with 200 ships..I had a fps dip...I went from 60 to 30..but it was stable.
What Graphic Card do you have?
Is there a free like 10 day trial? I want to try it out so much!
it always gives you the warp in, in the mission screen you click on the orange link to the system, set destination, undock, warp to it, jump through or stay in system whichever the case is, when you get to the proper system your desitination menu (right click) will say (warp to encounter)... you can't get it wrong. When you get there use your mission log to see your goal, kill npcs, pop a specific target for a drop, or just fly close enough then run and report. Dock and turn in mission.
(New Player asking)
IF I'd be in such a situation, (where my ship would survive of course) I mean, that instead of the Minmatar Frigate, a EWAR Cruiser, (specifically Amarr's EWAR ships) would it make sense for such a ship that I'd (at best) try to buy the barge enough time to escape (and then escape myself), OR until backup arrives?
@Vexoro if you're, do not go to low/nullsec at all, regardless of how cheap your ship is. you will more than likely be insta-podded by a fleet of battleships/marauders. wait until you have a large corp, or alliance to go into null/lowsec. same goes for wormholes.
The skill system has it's advantages. Properly planned, a newbie can participate in massive fleet warfare with less than 48 hours training. It's easy to get into ships and new parts, but takes dedication to master them. Sounds like a good balance to me. As for boredom, a lot of people don't try new things. They mine, they mission, then they get bored. Ever try exploring a wormhole? Scanning for complexes? Joining a 0.0 Alliance? Now THAT stuff is fun. :)
There is a trial yeh, you can get a 10day one but i think steam might have a longer trial.
By far the best video game trailer I have ever seen in my life.And that's a lot coming from someone named haloboy.I love halo the most out of any game, but this trailer makes me proud to be a member of Eve Online because unlike most trailers this one is 100% true to what happens in the game.Also I can send out 21-day trials so message me on here and ill email one to you(only 3 people a month).
@wiltbloococo "over 6 billion" is still a correct statement and closely relates to the video.
WP states 204 entries, but counting the number of countries is difficult, which still makes the video statement interesting (probably just a mistake!).
What you are referring to seems to be ISO-3166 country codes, which as you mention also includes regions like the Falkland Islands, which is a disputed sovereignty.
I wasn't trying to be pedantic on the first comment : ).
ElMagnfico: It's pretty reasonable. An assault frigate is a pretty decent ship to solo PVP with in 0.0. Not as great as a recon, HAC, interceptor or a SB, but fair enough. It's also possible for a long range artillery fit Wolf to kill or drive off two frigate sized ships, or at least have them come after it and thus stop tackling the miner. And it's not too far fetched to be invited to some alliance as a result.
The funny part in this video are the "patrols" with dreads and titans at a gate. :)
sure you do, learn to use the advanced camera controls too and you may get to see more of the detail as you can zoom right in etc; plus all the shots here will be set up for good lighting, something that is a little limited in game
Actually, it looks like it's one Interceptor and at least one Merlin-chassis ship for heavy(ier) fire. Could be a Hawk or a Harpy Assault Frigate, same class as the focus character's Wolf. Can't tell what the other ship would be, though. Possibly an e-war for flexibility?
I'm really love the huge world feel and being to set my own goals.
and thats what makes the game so great. no holding hands and helping you along, if you make a mistake, accept the results. you fall down, get back up.
what happens after the 14 day trial and u dont buy it could u still pla or wat happens
EVE is one of the best MMORPG's out there. I've had SO much fun playing it.
Eve Trailer always gave me goosebump
now they should bring back this old wolf model it looked so much better then the current one also the gun placements where so much cooler and since the "old" wolf was smaller then what we have now you can actually see the gunfire, now you can barely see it even when zoomed all in :(
I had heard bad reviews about Eve for a couple of years, so I'd never bothered trying it until just after Christmas last year. Now, I run a corporation with people from Austria, Sweden, Russia, Australia, England, Canada and the United States. It is *fun*. From mining to trading to massive space battles to exploration to trading to research to diplomacy to politics to chatting with decent people - Eve sums up everything I want in a video game. My only regret is that I waited so long to start.
This and the Dominion trailer were both the catalyst for my joining the game. I haven't really had a whole lot of traction though and I struggle to stick around, even after almost seven years.
that was REALLY cool... if it's possible, I think I love EVE even more than I already do =D
wow, this is actually a really awesome vid. if Eve were more fast paced, free-to-play, and had less complicated and frustrating controls; i'd be totally convinced to play it solely from watching this video.
Its not that hard to learn the game ;-) join a corp and you will be fine
nick de vries Join the right corp* i joined some shitty corps in my early days and it fucked me over for a while..
Rewatching this reminds me of the most chaotic situation I ever flew into. I was flying around Syndicate in my tengu, out of my depth and not realizing it. I stop to do a site, get tackled like a moron. Luckily, it is just a random gang, and they are taking forever to break my tank. Unluckily, I am configured for running and cloaking, so I can't kill all their tacklers. I'm sure I'm going to lose my most expensive ship like a complete idiot.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bigger gang drops in on us, and starts shooting at the first gang. I get massively lucky and they happen to kill the last person tackling me first (actually, think I ended up with the finishing blow by chance if I remember right.) I warped the hell away to a safe spot, cloaked up, and hid like a tiny scared baby until I could slip out of the system.
Still laugh when I think about the absurd luck. Pretty sure that the bigger gang wanted to kill me too, but luck gave me a break=)
Can anyone tell me the name of this that comes first at 0:22 PLEASE! i need to know
Nice video, gives glimps on what combat looks like, those were all in-game shots too.
EVE Online = most rewarding MMO ever, the learning curve also filters out the impatient and annoying people out of the game, not all but most of them.
i just loved eve, played three trials of it, sadly always alone :) i actually learned how to play it by the end of second, the third went relatively good :)
now im planning to play another trial with 2 of my friends, maybe this will become a paid play?
@slowlyawakening
PvE is a broader concept than that. What you are reffering to is missions: grinding through a library of static environments to generate a steady income.
By far the best trailor yet!
@ArcaneKarma They probably got that figure from their subscription records. Eve has been around for many years and some countries that existed back then have disappeared now but they may still show in their records hence the number.
This game has a VERY deep learning curve! I have just begun to play and although it is very epic in scope, I will continue to play and pay, because I know this will be a satisfying experience with no end. A literary comparison of this game is as follows: it's as if Tolstoy's "War and Peace" had a baby with Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", with "Dune" Author Frank Herbert as a "lovable" care taker.
I'm not bashing this game or anyone who plays it, I am saying it isn't for everyone. Like you said, "It's easy to get into ships and new parts, but takes dedication to master them." I am (un)fortunately more dedicated to things in the real world that matter more than a video game.
That being said, if you have not played it do give it a try. It's a beautiful game and very in-depth.
I think CCP is a solid company with a very innovative business model. I wish more MMO companies were like them.
@0mni42 it kinda depends..some countries arnt recognized by others so it really depends on who you ask.
lol i got it :D
started yesterday the trial with 14days i was immediately fascinated and bought the eve box edition in the store..
eve is amaizing .. i played a lot of others mmo but eve is the best ive ever played. Great freedom, feeling and atmospähre, tracks fit in game.
Still best EVE trailer IMO
It's such a great trailer. This does happen. Often times it's the reverse. You are a lonely miner making an honest living and pirates attack. You are plucky and put up a decent defense but ultimately they destroy your ship. They later contact you and during the ensuing conversation invite you to join their band of misfits. The next decision is yours...
that's amazing, i'd love to get the music from that :) Ideas?
A new player wont make a difference in a big battle, but nor will any single battleship.
Note that the big ships can hardly kill anything without it being pinned(unable to warp). So it is those little tacklers that allow them to kill something. As with a hammer, the hand that guides it and the hand that holds what you are hitting.
Besides damage isnt everything - (anti) support and logistic ships.
P.s. A rifter is never gonna be primary in a fleet battle, so it gives you some time to enjoy it.
A cloak and the ability to use it does help, but as you said, it is no grantee that you will not be killed.
In fact using a cloak means pirates will be looking that much harder, as they rightfully assume that you may be flying with items of great value. And running into a competent HIC pilot can ruin any transports day/week/month, cloaked or not.
Use win7 it uses DX11 and you get the same graphical effect, because of its "ray tracing" and "tesselation" technology
I use it since the RC7100 is out and love the graphical effects. And when dominion comes out, they'll start start official support for win7, so you can expect better graphics in the future, which you can't have with DX9 or 10
This video still gets me hyped up today, This is the video that got me playing EVE as a baby. =) Still playing today! Long live Goons.
The miner didn't seem too worried...as he was still mining while he was under attack. I would have just assumed he had things handled and moved on.
@McBlemmen no, if you go into lowsec (0.4 or lower safety space), there is a 99% chance you will get attacked by player pirates who will blow you up and take all of your stuff.
If you find a group of players, you can go pirate. Most pirates camp gates in lowsec and kill anything that appears...But at the same time other pirates and people who get angry will go looking for them ;).
In Nullsec, space is completely player corp owned, and thats more for alliance vs alliance fighting.
Great video and all, just don't forget that IRL; being at the right place at the right time could touch the lives of over 6 billion people in 195 countries (not 230).
This is how it would go...
"Damn we missed the fleet"
"Oh hey a Rifter"
"EWAR ONLY ON THE RIFTER"
*Rifter dies*
"GODDAMNIT JIM I SAID EWAR ONLY!!!"
Where is the dance remix version of the track of this trailer? It needs to exist yesterday!
