Where other MMOs hem you in with authored narratives or limited player interactions, EVE Online's developers are remarkably willing to sit back and let players steer. But the point is that, unlike so many other MMOs, in EVE Online is the only one courageous enough to let players define their own experience-for the most part. At this point it's less of a game and more like an alternate reality where players can become warlords, dictators, or just another scummy pirate blowing up poor space truckers for shits and giggles. Not all of these games released between 20-following one of the biggest trends of this decade, some PC games have had tectonic effects on our hobby long after their launch day.ĮVE Online is the closest we've come to that sci-fi dream of living a second life in a virtual society.
