Description
EVE Online is an online RPG which is set in a futuristic galaxy. The main focus of the game is open-ended space travel with combat, territorial control, trade, and politics. In the beginning of the game, you create your character, choosing one of the available empires and races (EVE has no classes, anyone can learn any skill), and customizing the way the character looks. Then you are given a space ship with which you can begin the exploration of the game world. One of your main goals in the game will be to upgrade your ship in order to be able to defeat space pirates and other players. Most items in the galaxy are player-made, and there is a robust economy. With the money you obtain from mining, exterminating NPCs, or cunning market trading you can also increase your character's skills (for example, Mining, Survey, Refining, Drone operation, weapons skills, and many, many others). Unlike most other RPGs, leveling up does not depend on the amount of foes you have defeated, but requires you to train for a time period dependent on your stats. Training continues even while logged off.
