As some of you know, I am an avid MMO player. I been playing major online games since before they were called MMO’s. I played Meridian 59, UO, EQ, Earth and Beyond, SWG, EQ2, DDO, and others.
I gotta say tho I loaded up EVE online the other day and am liking it a lot. Reminds me of Earth and Beyond but on crack. I tried playing EVE before. I just couldn’t get into it. This latest iteration “Revelations” is a much better game. I was finally able to get past the tutorial. I activated two accounts and set one up for Jens.
It’s a pretty complex game set in space in the far future. It’s a vast set of star systems to explore. It seems to have everything that will appeal to most people. (if they can get past the complexity) You can mine, fight, trade, form corporations, etc…
If you hop on and want to say hi, I am “Zatsu Z” and you can get more info on the game at www.eve-online.com
Well, I have to admit, I was quite surprised at the capabilities of the UX and game play.
Wait, UX update: When the UX is on my desk. I have it docked in its nifty docking station and hooked up to a Samsung widescreen monitor and it’s pushing a resolution of 1440×900 with absolutely no issues at all. I use it as a secondary system with Stardock’s Multiplicity (which ROCKS) to use the main mouse and keyboard to drive the UX. good stuff!
Ok, back to gaming.. So, I currently play EVE Online, Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies Online, and Everquest II. Some of you know that I run a gaming guild ( www.OrderofZ.com ).
I am glad to report that ALL of those games work smoothly on the UX. EVE is prolly the most graphic intensive of them all and it runs without any major complications. Also, when I am on the road, these games connect with solid playability over the Cingular edge network.
