I hadn't been aware of either link, so thanks for those. Jumpgate Evo 
probably will be a gankfest, but it's in space man! I have to check it 
out just for that. EVE is the same, something about the game is horribly 
dull, but it's just so god damn beautiful and can give you so much if 
you're willing to put in the time. Unlike any other really conventional 
MMO imo.

But still, it's the dull nature of the missions and huge cost of losing 
ships which makes it hard to just "go have a blast through 0.0 for the 
heck of it" which makes it hard for me to commit to EVE.
