There are MMOs and then there are MMOs. Some act as platforms for heroics, where you and fellow players can find somewhere to stand while you slay the baddie or save the world. Others are open ended universes where players make their own stories, defining their own experiences through their actions. EVE Online is very much the latter kind of game, set in a colossal galaxy ripe for exploration where your choices determine the shape of your virtual life.
