I downloaded the free trial last night and EVE's been running on my desktop since then, distracting me from this coursework. It's a great way to procrastinate, although the sheer time it takes to do things means I generally end up working a little anyway
I'm not sure whether I like it or not yet - the scale of the universe and how many uber-players there are is a little intimidating at first, although the thought of piloting a great hulking Battleship is very cool indeed. Going to bin my day-old character and create a new Caldari one (one with better skills for mining) - Caldari ships look just like the Empire's ships from Star Wars!
