I also play the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) EVE Online. It takes place in space, and the player owns an interstellar vessel (or a hundred vessels). The game has one unique feature: 6,000 star systems and 25,000 players are all on a single server at the same time. As far as I know, there are no other games like it; in all the others, the game world is divided into parts (shards). Plus excellent graphics (screenshots), fitting music, a sophisticated role-playing system, and a genuine space atmosphere.
One detail particularly delighted me. When you approach a jumpgate (a gate for jumping to another solar system), you see a huge screen right there in space. It displays advertisements (fortunately, not real ones), and something else as well: notices "Wanted for crimes against humanity" for pirate players, along with the reward paid to whoever kills the pirate. Details like these give games a devilish charm and realism. (Considering that anyone can add to the reward and anyone can claim it, it is all real, in fact).

They say the game works more or less tolerably even over a modem. I imagine only when there are few objects on the screen. Anyone interested can try it using a trial account, which is what I am using for now. I cannot decide whether to keep playing or not. The game is designed so that you do not have to play constantly or spend a lot of time on it. This works to the advantage of the game's developer, the Icelandic company with the nostalgic name CCP, since a permanent account costs $15 a month. For everyone except European residents, who pay 15€. Such discrimination.
In any case, it is worth trying, especially if sophisticated games are your thing and you have a powerful enough computer. At the very least, you can admire space.
