Eve Online is the most widely known space trading MMORPG in the world. Codemasters are soon to release their space based MMORPG game called 'Jumpgate Evolution' then its crown may shrink. Until then, this is the best available. It is similar to the old eight-bit Elite game of the eighties. You are in control of a space craft and travel through space, trading and fighting. It contains an untold number of places to visit including and not limited to moons and planets. Travel between planets of great distances are possible due to the existance of wormholes situated through the galaxy. The fourth screen shot shows you the entire universe that can be visited. The story is that humans have moved into space and have splinted into a number of colonies.

When you first arrive in the game, you have to select your faction between on of five colonies/factions of humans. These are the Amarr Empire, the Caldari State, the Gallente Federation, the Jove Empire and the Minmatar Republic. Each colony has a back history to them and you can decide which best fits you. You then get to create your avatar for communications. Once created, you can begin the game.

Like so many similar MMORPGs, you are able to join Guilds, they are termed Corporations. Corporations in turn can band together and form Alliances. The most famous alliance is Band of Brothers however that group has since been disbanded into smaller groups. Players are able to fight both with and against one another. Band of Brothers were in the news when all their bank money was stolen and sold for real cash. Whilst travelling in space, you could be attacked at any point, however there are safe places that players are protected from being attacked by space police.

First person fighting is being developed to co-exist with the flying. It is unclear as to whether you'll be able to fly to a planet, land, fight and control or whether you recruit people to do the fighting for you. The FPS is called Dust 514. The trailer of the game, again found on youtube is below.

The trailer is something found on Youtube that gives a good idea of what the game is all about. Its not the butterfly effect movie but one that is much better. If playing the game on the internet is not your cup of tea, you check out X3 - Terran Conflict as that game has the same premise, fight and trading. However playing X3, you'll miss out on player tournaments.
