    I haven't played the last 3-4 years, but when I did, it was exactly like you say! I remember the excitement when facing other pilots in PvP, the sense of loss when my hard-earned ships blew up and I had to start over, the great feeling of accomplishment when I setup my operations in lowsec space, etc. Travelling through 20 jumpgates in a stealth carrier, going through blockades with my cargo full of blueprints and high tech weapons & ammunition... What really amazed me though was the economy and the chain of industrial research & production: it was not a game, it is a simulation of a futuristic environment.

    I still have it installed on my PC, and can't wait to find the spare time to delve into it again. Unfortunately I know Everquest only by name, never played it.

    I know what you mean, a hardcore game that strikes fear into you because you can lose everything.

    I lost a Badger II in an 0.8 sec gate, two ships waiting for me and got me when jumping in. It shouldn't happen in 0.8 but it did.

    Everquest is something from another time, and they have relaxed the death rules now. It's the only other game that has given me that 'fear' like Eve did.

      I wouldn't know what to make of this. The game has evolved so much. I was an early adaptor and haven't looked at it since around 2009.

        I started in 2009 and was very active until 2012. But things have changed totally, indeed.
