EVE Online is a massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) set in a science-fiction based, persistent world.
A nominal monthly subscription is charged for each player's account; users are responsible for their own Internet service fees. EVE is not a stand-alone, single player game and can only be played online. Unlike most MMOGs that split a large player base up among small clones of the same game world (called "shards") containing no more than 3,000 people, EVE is unique in that all of its players inhabit the same game world.
This is a free 14-day trial and no is credit card required; EVE Online costs $14.95 per month to play thereafter.
