Multiplayer online Elite-style game?

Hi

I would recomend you to try the game EVE-Online wich you find on www.eve-online.com where you can download the game and get a free trial (14 days) to check it out.

The game is for Windows but have heard people play it on Linux among others...
Some even experiment with it on Cellphones... well remote windows or something hehe.

I have played this game for like 3 years now and it is great, one server... from 25000 to 33 000 players online at the same time, you can be a smuggler, trader, producer, fighter, CEO for a small corp, big corp alliance with thousands of members... even if you like so you can be a Pirate  :-)

Yeah the tutorial of EVE-Online can be abit much, ALOT have changed since I started up early 2004.. back then the tutorial was something like.

Fly out to a asteroid, use your basic miner try that on the asteroid.
Lock at that drone flying around you, shoot it with your basic gunner.
Warp to station, dock, sell your ore

Thank you, you now can enjoy your game  :-)

And then I undocked, shot the Police... got killed by the police, undocking with a brand new ship, get killed by the police who is now camping the station I where in, third time I get killed by the police I starts to think I might have broken my game !!!  8-)

I start a new account, played for 3 years so far.. never really regreted doing so.

But yeah I have heard the new tutorial is like several hours long !!! hehe, then again... it can be useful unless you like to learn things the hard way like I have done.
