I feel the same way about Eve that I feel about Dwarf Fortress. I love reading about it and find the surrounding community fascinating, but I just don't have the time to devote to properly playing it.

Me too...I've never played EVE but every dispatch I read about it makes it sound like something out of a sci-fi novel, as in, I can't believe there's an actual program in existence that allows such open-ended massively concurrent gaming...I mean, yes, all big MMOs (like WoW) have this, but it seems like EVE takes it to the next level in terms of how you can script/coordinate between large groups of players, like an actual general or tactician of a starship fleet in the distant future.

I feel the exact same way. I especially enjoyed reading one article a few years back about a real-world Eve scam. Not sure how to find it anymore but it was very well written as are a lot of Eve stories.

I did not know CCP bought White Wolf Studios and will be looking forward to what they do with those creative brands. Will they dominate the sci-fi and horror genre?
