EVE Online Gold [Apr 23, 2003, 10:18 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Simon & Schuster Interactive sends news that EVE Online: The Second Genesis,
their MMO space game, has gone gold. They say the NDA on information about the
game has been officially dropped as of today, and the official launch is slated
for May 6 (sorry for messing up the date at first). They also send along a
batch of five new screenshots, and word that the game's producer, Mike
"Campion" Wallis will be in the EVE Online IRC Channel today at 5:00
PM EDT to discuss the announcement. The chat will be conducted on the server
stratics.frws.com in the channel #eve-online.

This games does need some more time in Beta. It has some -major_ issues with crashing, things jusp flat out not working, and the wholesome fun of mining all the damned time. Granted, missions weren't available to beta testers, but from my experience with the rest of the game, these will be needing polishing as well. Don't buy the game in the first 6 months or so untill there is a special offer for subscription (i.e. FREE).
I'm sorry the game sucks so much right now, I wanted it to be a blast. And it will be--a year or so from now when the paying beta testers get all the issues worked out.
The only company that I can honestly say has the space game down is Ambrosia Software with its Escape Velocity series. Now if only they'd kick it up a notch and make it an MMOG, without a subscription--and get their PC version of the game outta beta!
