Join 220,000 other space pirates and galactic tycoons in the most exciting and uniquely massively multiplayer game ever created. Infinite Possibilities for customization and exploration await. Transport your imagination to EVE Online and experience the next generation of online interaction and entertainment.
It is player-driven persistent-world massively multiplayer online game set in a science fiction space setting. Players pilot customizable ships through a universe comprising over five thousand star systems. Most star systems are connected to one or more other star systems by means of jump gates.
The star systems can contain several entities including but not limited to: moons, planets, stations, wormholes, asteroid belts and other space complexes. Players are able to participate in any number of in-game professions and activities, including mining, manufacturing, trade and combat (both player versus environment and player versus player).
The range of activities available to the player is facilitated by a character advancement system based upon training skills in real time, even while not logged in to the game. Players start the game by either selecting a previously-created character or by creating a new one. Each Eve Online account allows for up to three characters to be made.
When players create a new character they start by choosing one of the four playable races of Amarr, Gallente, Minmatar and Caldari. Each race is further divided into three bloodlines that give characters different pre-defined abilities. After further refining the character's starting skills by selecting features such as ancestry and career the new character is ready to begin its life in the Eve Online universe.
