I played Eve for a while.

Yes, it is very ruthless and dog-eat-dog. And yes, the community can be harsh and pitiless.

That being said, I would still be playing if they hadn't stopped supporting my OS.

Get an OS that supports every game produced for it...

...Buy an Amiga.

The people on Eve are very friendly to newbies anyway... I've gotten lots of ISK without even asking, because of player donations.

Actually, that's one of the crazy things about EVE. There is actually stuff worth buying when you have obscene amounts of money.

When I started, I was given a million spacebux to get started. It bought me a pair of nice frigates, mining gear, and enough stuff to deck out my ships well enough to get started. I was all like "OOHHH, million bux!!"

Now I have 95 million on hand, like 300 mil worth of ships alone, and have handed out a million or so to more than one new player. Funky.

So can you buy a space station and have other players visit you? Or how about owning a bar on a space station, like Quark? Or is it all flying around in space stuff?

It all in space right now but they have posted screenshots of the new stuff they are adding where you can walk around inside stations and do stuff. I am not sure how extensive this new content will be though.

All flying around in space stuff, though they're planning on having walk around stations.
