Just digging through my latest credit card statement, and I've just realised that I've been playing EVE for 4 years now.

I saw a copy on a shelf in Game shortly after release. I hadn't heard of it, and on the front cover it loudly proclaimed a quote from a review: "It's like a multiplayer version of Elite"

That was enough for me, and at £19.99 it was worth a punt. Got home, started reading the manual while installing the game, and was hooked. The universe was so vast, so complex, there was so much to do. I just got dragged in.
