Update: this reward has now closed and its best submissions, all from expert players with hands-on experience, used to create curated content: what is EVE Online?

Spreadsheets in space? Glorious space opera? Dark sci-fi player-run storytelling? What EVE is depends on who you ask. And there are no prizes for guessing who we're asking. There are, however, prizes for great definitions or 50-word summaries of EVE Online. You can make it accurate and descriptive, funny and tongue-in-cheek, epic and rousing, or any combination of the above. Bonus points for creativity and uniqueness.

Eve online is the kind of game you really love but dont really recommend to your friends since you know the rabbit hole they are about to go into if they decide to play 😭😭, it's the kind of game you will never master but will always try to master.

So true!

Get ships. Lose ships. Get more ships. Lose more ships. This game is all about learning! You WILL get blown up A LOT, but You'll have A LOT of fun while exploding! Getting absolutely demolished is a pleasure in this community 😅

EVE is without a doubt, the most rewarding game you will ever play! You will laugh, you may well cry, but EVE is something special - get in with a good bunch and you will never leave! Constantly evolving, constantly ascending, - it really will make you want to adapt or die!

EVE Online in less than 50 words: Dark Souls in space—same difficulty, same punishment for mistakes, with spreadsheets as an additional nightmare.

Eve online reminds me of real life, this game is full of scammers which awaits for your little mistake to profit out of you. But still there are some rules. And I love this combination. Sometimes it is harsch but it is very rewarding!

CommanderA9 2/25/2025, 11:47:07 PM

EVE Online is what you make it. It is Job 2.0, or a great way to relax with new friends. It is a grind towards success, or a new way to soar into your dreams of setting fire to the stars. EVE is you, and everyone you meet.

Dydo 2/18/2025, 11:03:22 PM

EVE Online isn’t a game. It’s a social experiment where you log in seeking a triumph in capitalism, and stay because you end up becoming a power-hungry bloodstained space landlord.

Limal 2/18/2025, 9:41:57 PM

EVE Online is a game where you define the pace and choose the environment. Play it cozy to relax after work, lose sleep commanding thousands of pilots in battle, or take a fragile ship on an impossible hands sweating mission. Every choice is yours: risk, reward, and the unknown!

Lumin 2/13/2025, 7:01:46 PM

EVE Online is more than an MMORPG—it’s a boundless universe teeming with stars to chart, rivalries to forge, and empires to build. Beneath its vast mechanics, however, lies its true essence and power: it is the ultimate sci-fi stage for immersive roleplay. A well-placed scram and web, and your audience is captive, yours to command.

An endless addiction that consumes your time and life. But it is a game.

Mismoboy 1/18/2025, 2:02:26 PM

To EVE, or not to EVE, question for a capsuleer

Whether entrepreneur, industrialist, or mercenary pick the career,

Roam the vast MMO space sandbox for ISK

Forging one’s path with an iron fist,

Decide path, solo or Corporation at least

In the voids of space, make haste or make peace

Alexandros 1/17/2025, 10:44:57 PM

EVE Online. Fly cool ships, lose them to pirates named YOLO420, and argue about mining rights while secretly plotting to betray your friends. It’s where interstellar capitalism, explosions, and “just one more jump” combine to devour your free time faster than a black hole.

Giving players the tools and mechanics to live out their wildest fantasies of being corporate overlords controlling the power of large intergalactic territory dominating any competition that rises by crushing them into submission. Oh and you get to fly cool ships that go pew pew.

Wadd Enderas 1/11/2025, 3:41:11 PM

EVE is a living galaxy of intrigue, where every warp holds promise or peril. It’s a playground for dreamers, schemers and adventurers, where alliances are forged, fleet battles shake the stars and each individual story is carved into the cosmos, one betrayal or triumph at a time.

greybill 1/11/2025, 4:33:38 PM

The only MMO Josh Strife Hayes doesn't dare to review.

One Universe, your story, be a part of history.

Rixx Javix 1/10/2025, 7:09:14 PM

Eve might be the hardest game ever created. It does nothing unless you do it first. It is dark and full of terror. As deep as you want, deeper than you can imagine. It's challenging, frustrating, and ultimately insane. It can dominate and crush you. Only a few will survive.

EVE Online, sometimes known as Spreadsheets in space. The least addictive game you will ever find, as everything is locked behind literal months of training and preparation. Playing this game requires long-term planning, lots of math, and plentiful spreadsheets. Often feels like a second job rather than a video game.

Luka Zaharin 1/10/2025, 3:49:28 PM

Eve online is a vast universe, alive, with the unrelenting activity and combined history of it's players. Pursuing lives of adventure, warfare and prosperity, they share this existence in the biggest single-shard, free-to-play MMO of all time.

Eve is not a game, it is a world. "Life" in Eve is as rich as in no other game I ever knew. Just like the virtual universe it simulates, it creates a virtual world with serious relationships. You can make real friends and enemies, learn real skills and suffer real losses.

(Hey capsuleer, pls let me know if you recognize the quote😉It is what brought me into Eve in the first time)

yan57436 1/10/2025, 1:16:44 PM

EVE is an intergalactic reality where spreadsheets can be weapons, diplomacy is an essential part of your studies and betrayals are not unexpected, as well as space battles (which everyone loves). Your imagination is the only limit (remember to update your excel).

FirestormGamingTeam 1/10/2025, 12:47:39 PM

A huge open world sandbox where every decision you make for yourself has reactions, where you choose, who you are and forge your own path.

CelestialFlea 1/10/2025, 12:20:57 PM

The only game where villainous plans take months or years to come to fruition and where Excel is king.

Sturmer 1/10/2025, 12:17:59 PM

EVE Online in two words: ultimate sandbox.
It’s not about assets, objectives, or graphics - it’s about how players use game mechanics to craft unforgettable stories. These stories started in bars decades ago, are shared today, and will continue to make headlines in outlets like Forbes for years.

Sturmer 1/10/2025, 11:41:31 AM

A word of warning: Internet Spaceships Are Serious Business - is a trademark =)

Y0EMINENCE 1/10/2025, 8:56:33 PM

EVE Online…Where space lawers thrive, and your wallet cries. It's like playing chess, but everyone's a pirate or a politician. You'll mine asteroids, only to get ganked by some dude named "KillYouAll69." Friendships are fragile; alliances, even more so. Your virtual spaceship is your life, untill it's not. Welcome to the galaxy where betrayal is a currency and spreadsheets are your best friend. Good luck; you'll need it. Sith will rule the Galaxy again! 🫡

EVE Online, a galaxy without boundaries where wars, betrayals, and politics create and destroy empires. Spreadsheets in space, where trust and relationships are elements that can either collapse or strengthen any alliance. Exploration is relaxing, but what could be hidden in the darkness? A silent void where priceless treasures can be found, and where everything can be ruled by ambition.

S

Shirosuka 1/18/2025, 9:36:51 PM

A unique way to learn Excel with beautiful graphics and special effects, clearly showing that guides are necessary not only in the game, but also in regular tables, if you want to work comfortably

Fras_Shoyo 1/19/2025, 11:05:40 AM

Players of the huge, always changing world known as EVE Online participate in a dynamic sandbox of exploration, commerce, conflict, and politics. With endless opportunities, this game is one in which ambition drives empires, alliances, and betrayals, therefore transforming every choice into a part of a great, player-driven story in the universe.

farrukhmubeen 2/13/2025, 6:37:03 PM

Eve online is sand box game. PvE PvP game. This is more than a game for some. Friendship across the eve universe. Battle all the time some where in the eve universe. Love the eve music and more rewarding missions. Ships and structure Skins etc

GoJapan 2/13/2025, 7:18:39 PM

Eve Online is a universe in which it is possible to store trust only in your weapon. Completely alone in the open space and getting lost is at home without the right route, and however nice it is to admire the stars, it is not easy to orient yourself when it is among them. One thing, however, is certain, when you feel the bang, someone or something has struck you .... never leave without a plan b

1. The Epic Space Opera

“EVE Online is a vast, player-driven galaxy where empires rise, alliances fall, and every pilot’s journey shapes the universe. From colossal fleet battles to whispered conspiracies, it’s a living space opera where your story is as grand as the stars—or as small as a single, silent warp.”

2. The Spreadsheet Enthusiast’s Dream

“EVE Online: where Excel meets explosions. From market trading to fleet logistics, every decision is data-driven, every ISK calculated. It’s not just spreadsheets in space—it’s spreadsheets with consequences. Master your math, watch your wallet, and maybe, just maybe, conquer the universe one formula at a time.”

3. The Dark Sci-Fi Tale

“EVE Online is New Eden—a dark and dangerous galaxy where betrayal is currency, and trust is a liability. Here, pilots gamble lives and fortunes in a sandbox of limitless potential. It’s not just a game; it’s a dystopian playground where ambition and ruthlessness write the ultimate sci-fi saga.”

4. The Satirical Definition

“EVE Online: the game where you spend hours mining rocks, weeks training skills you can’t use yet, and months plotting revenge on someone who stole your loot. It’s a utopia for masochists, economists, and space pirates alike. Remember: the real endgame is arguing in local chat.”

5. The Rousing Call to Adventure

“EVE Online is the ultimate frontier—a galaxy alive with peril and possibility. Build your empire, forge alliances, or live as a lone wolf. Every pilot has a role to play, and every decision echoes through New Eden. Adventure awaits, Capsuleer. Will you carve your name into the stars?”

6. The Philosophical Take

“EVE Online isn’t just a game—it’s a microcosm of human nature. It’s greed and generosity, courage and cowardice, creation and destruction. In New Eden, you’re not just playing; you’re living, choosing, and shaping a shared universe where every action ripples through the endless, star-studded void.”

7. The Humorous One-Liner

“EVE Online: the only game where you can lose a $10,000 spaceship because you decided to take a bathroom break during a gate camp.”

8. The Unique Community Snapshot

“EVE Online is more than just spaceships—it’s the players. From scheming warlords to market tycoons, every interaction in New Eden feels personal, meaningful, and utterly unpredictable. It’s not about what EVE is—it’s about who you are when you play. Hero, villain, or victim? The galaxy is waiting.”

EVE Online is more than a game—it’s a universe where dreams take flight and legends are forged. A boundless frontier of war, trade, and discovery, where pilots rise from nothing to command fleets and shape history. In New Eden, the bold don’t just play; they leave their mark forever.

BoomerMod3/24/2025, 11:17:59 AM

Hey ExiledRonin, welcome to the platform and thanks for entering this reward!
