I used to play EVE a lot, but I stopped when that 'dev cheating scandal' happened for the second time, as I thought it was outrageous and it really annoyed me that they didn't even ban the person for doing it. Sort of like 'one rule for us and one rule for you'. Much as I liked EVE, this was simply too much, so I voted with my feet. Shame really, I had two accounts for that and my own mining company for several years and it was fun, but I hate cheats.

Its a game where piracy runs rampant and you get upset over cheating?

I'll prolly give it a shot.

I very much like that the devs stay out of the way, for the most part, and lets the game evolve with the players, not the other way around. It's the only successful space MMO around, and seems to be there to stay.

You do get the Frontier: Elite II feeling from time to time, which is a good sign. It's actually fun to explore, and when you feel like being alone you can always find a quiet asteroid belt in an unremarkable system and go mining or piratehunting.

I enjoyed it for a few hours yesterday. Havin' fun. If it's still this fun after a week or so, I'll probably stick to it.
