Resumen del Editor

Empires of EVE: A History of the Great Wars of EVE Online is the incredible true story of the dictators and governments that have risen to power within the real virtual world of EVE Online.

Since 2003, this sci-fi virtual world has been ruled by player-led governments commanding tens of thousands of real people. The conflict and struggle for power between these diverse governments has led to wars, espionage, and battles fought by thousands of people from nations all over the world. There have been climactic last stands, wars for honor and revenge, and spies who caused more damage than a fleet of warships.

Empires of EVE is the history of how political ideas first began to take hold in EVE Online, how that led to the creation of the first governments and political icons, and how those governments eventually collapsed into a state of total war from 2007-2009.

Absolutely Grand. Absolutely Inspiring.

What a blast learning about the struggles and triumphs of player-owned organisations. About rallying calls and political intrigue. About winning wars without dropping bombs or firing lasers.

While Eve will never be my thing, it is always a giddy rush to read headlines online screeching about long-con betrayals and massive wars involving thousands of players.

Content-wise, Empires of EVE will not fail to disappoint anybody - player or not - who has fancied a deeper look into the MMO.

Andrew Groen mostly reads with a neutral tone but sometimes describing epic battles paints a little colour in, which I wished he had buckets more of. Quoting EVE CEOs, on the other hand, is a little more interesting as he tries to mimic their accents, real or imagined. This is my only negative comment about the audiobook.

As a whole, audiobook is fantastic and I look forward to the next iteration of Empires of EVE. I truly respect the massive undertaking of one man documenting the early history of EVE and sharing it with the rest of the world.

Love it

Damn this is a good book. It is really awesome to hear all the stories from the old days. I cannot wait for the next one.

great story, well told, recording sound is amateur

very interesting stories written by the actions of real players. They say EvE is a game you love to read about more than actually playing. It is however, unfortunate to hear that the quality of the speaker isn't quite there. Some chapters it sounds like he's recording it in his kitchen rarely do you ever hear something that's really professional. that's my only flaw I can pick out with this. However, none will be disappointed, if you're a lover of history or games.

Good book if you're into Eve

I have played eve for 11 years, and have got back into eve due to this book. CCP should pay you for that. Fly Safe Clytemnestra06 and Kong Fuzi

Good Reminder

A good reminder of my EVE past. I just hope it makes sense to lament people who never played the game.

Absolutely fascinating!!

I was completely blown away by this book! it paints an extraordinary picture of a fascinating game. I convinced several friends to pick it up and am curious to know what.they think.

GOOOOON SWARM

I love eve. I've been playing since I was a Freshman in high school back in 08 so it's nice to get to know some of its more early history that was going on back when I was in grade school.
