Eve Online... Anyone?

I just picked up and started a 14 day trial. It seems playable even from the sand box. Seems like a game I could get into if I had some people to play with.

The learning curve does seem pretty steep, but with all games I have thoroughly enjoyed for long periods of time, they have all had very steep learning curves. (Planetside, Star Wars Galaxies Pre-CU, ArmA 1 and 2)
Oh, and my name in the game is so original - Yukanojo
Not sure if server matters, but my login screen says I connect to Tranquility.

The fun thing about EVE is that there are only two servers - the live server and the test server. Kind of really interesting to know that you are playing in the same place as everyone else who is playing the game.
I played off and on for several months. The learning curve is (well, was) really high, and I never got very far into things. One of my favorite things about the game is the skill system, where you can learn skills while offline and they have a set amount of real-world time before they are learned. Of course the drawback is that the better the skill the longer it takes to learn.
I got interested in EVE because of the news stories I had heard about it. It all seemed so cool, but so far out of my reach! It sure does look pretty though.
