I play EVE. It's alright, I like it. I like the fact that it's pretty hardcore and that mistakes can really set you back, although it does get annoying sometimes when you lose a bunch of stuff, it does on the whole make it a better more meaningful experience. I don't really care about the graphics quality-wise but I do like the whole space theme (although in EVE it's modelled more like underwater than space, which is a crying shame) and I like the fact that the playerbase is generally mature-ish (apart from Goonswarm but there's an unspoken understanding in EVE that no-one really cares what they do so that's ok). And I REALLY like the fact that there's no "levelling" in the traditional sense. I get annoyed though because I like to RP which hardly any of the playerbase cares about (even though EVE is in a way the perfect RP game because it actually forces RP-like behaviour out of all players without them even realising it) and even in RP corporations very few players seem to have any idea how to hell to actually do that.

How do you think I would go with WoW? Has anyone here played EVE first, then gone to WoW and enjoyed it? Or not enjoyed it? I'd like to hear from you folks before I go spend money on a game that may in fact suck majorly. But it seems to be pretty popular so I guess people like it for a reason, right? Also, do people RP in WoW, and are those people treated with utter contempt in the way that RPers in EVE are?

That was the worst thing i ever sat through.

EVE = Everyone vs everyone?

so PVP? Wintergrasp? yes?

Not sure untill i know exactly what EVE means

You might tell us what style of play you enjoy and you might get a better response. No game's players are automatically for or against another game--it depends on a person's likes and dislikes.

Ooooh, seeing the wars that go on between WoW and Guild Wars or Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source, I need to disagree with you there. :P

That cracked me up.

I was actually wondering recently if the reverse would be true: If i like WoW, would i like EVE?

I've always enjoyed Space combat sims like "Wing Commander" and "Privateer". Hasn't been a good one of those in a LONG time.

That happens when games (or anything else) are so much alike, people get defensive about the differences--you know, familiarity breeds contempt.
Nothing like a little familiarity to spice up one's day.

I dont think so. Eve is one server, so its organized, has no spam, idiots cant play it so everyone is cool and its very complicated and somewhat nerdy. Wow is simple, you click on something and kill it, after a week you know everything, its simple so theres a lot of idiots there, its not complicated enough for Eve fans, the setting is loads of different but if you like both sci fi and fantasy you will be ok (if such people exist) and since theres 12 milion people its hard to get rid of all the bots,spammers,griefers and gold sellers, but its ultimately more fun (imo) and has much cooler gameplay, options and communities

Ive played both, and I liked both to an extent

You dont really have the adriline moments in WoW like in EvE when a pirate warps to your belt and you spamming the warp button to fly away from certain death

But in WoW, its easy-mode PvP, get good gear-kill mans without loss, where in EvE a well flown frigate might kill a battleship

RP-wise I founda good RP guild on my old server of Ravenholdt in WoW was fun :)

I used to be a big WoW player till i quit recently but i've played EVE (by my friends telling me its "better" than WoW) but in all honesty i found it to be very boring and WoW to be a much more immersive game.

I don't if the same would be true from EVE players going into WoW but thats my opinion :)

Same thing happend to me when I tried out EVE. It was too slow paced for me to really enjoy.
