I played some EVE semi-recently, you just gotta be lucky enough to find a Corporation already established in nullspace. There are plenty welcoming to newbies, it's just that playing solo for any extended period is only a few steps below actual suicide... and newbies wouldn't know that going in.

I never found a way to interact with EVE that didn't feel like a job. I cited it because it is full-loss PvP everywhere, scamming is not only legal but encouraged, and the complexity is completely uncompromising. In other words, at first blush it sounds like a "proper video game" that doesn't cater to filthy casuals. And the playerbase is tiny because most people don't like that sort of thing.


I read a lot of crazy stories about EVE groups that you'll never hear about in any other MMOs, seems like it is something else.
My favorite occurred during a massive, multiday fleet battle. An executive of one corp traveled several hundred miles IRL to cut the power lines at the home of an opposing senior fleet commander.


I remember also the one of the top executive of one of the biggest corpo at the time, stealing all the money and leaving for the opposite one in the middle of a big wars
Yup, and given isk and plex are convertible and plex has RL value since you can use it for the monthly subscription, that was effectively stealing real money.
