I took the plunge and downloaded the 14-day trail of Eve Online.  I have a friend who has played it for years who thinks it is the best MMO ever created, so I finally decided to see what it was about.

My first impression: It has a very large learning curve.  Even with the tutorial, there are a million things that I don’t understand yet.  It would be very difficult for someone who has never played an MMO to ever get the hang of it.  With that said, I do find it appealing in some ways, enough so that I will continue on with it for the time being.  I will talk about my stuttering start in future posts.
