As you set out for the first time, you'll be put in the role of a highly trained, augmented and immortal pilot viewed as a demigod. It's a place in the tight grip of mega-corporations and the myriad factions they serve and then corrupt. The sprawling space MMO is set among a dangerous, dystopian star cluster called New Eden.
It's one of the many things that keeps them around.
Regardless of their professions, though, Eve pilots have found they've developed skills and friendships in Eve Online that have made an impact in their everyday lives. Others may take up the profession of piracy and lay in wait for them, standing by for the ideal moment to pounce on any ill-protected cargo. Some roll up their sleeves and get down to work mining resources they can sell at nearby space stations. The 17-year history of Eve Online is written by the pilots that traverse its 7,000 solar systems.
