EVE Online, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in space, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Developed by Icelandic studio CCP Games, the game was first released in 2003 and has since become one of the most iconic games in the history of online gaming.
Loved this game, played it since 2010. On and off over the years. It is by far the most player run game ever made.
Always been interested in trying it out.
If you ever do, please consider allowing me to guide you and set you up
I gave this a watch, and I must say, visually, it’s right up my alley. There are times the game just looks phenomenal. This is the type of sci-fi that I love.
Edit: this also reminds me of the days I used to play Homeworld.

What always interested me about EVE was the drama and intrigue that the community created themselves.
To give you perspective, to get into most corporations that live in the most dangerous parts of eve you need to have multiple voice/vid interviews with screenshots of your character’s holdings etc. They take it very seriously. Most of the big betrayals are years in the planning.
My specialities in PVP is, not surprisingly, was to play a healer or known as a logi player. I have 2 characters in different accounts that can fly all of the non capital “healing ships” fully trained. I love doing it in battles both big and small. One character can fly and use some of the capital logi shops, like the min0 (minokawa) and apostle mentioned in the vid.
There is SO much you can specialise in, all it takes is time and in game ISK. One of my most favourite times in the game was playing an explorer. I worked for an organisation called Eve Scout and Signal cartel where we would scout space for wormhole entrances and list them and map them on a website for players to use. They only last about a day. The whole corporation was funded by donations from other corporations for this convenience.
It meant finding a spot in space, jumping through, not knowing where in the universe you would pop out, dealing with the local players there and trying to hide, all while mapping the exit and looking for other spots by using an involved scanning mechanic in a specialised cloaked scanning ship.
You could literally pop out on the other side of the eve map.
Exciting stuff 
Best thing you can do is to play it for free, do the tutorial bits and decide if it is for you. Couple of things to keep in mind that you will realise pretty quickly:
Ergh, now I have downloaded the client and reactivated my accounts. I might even dive back in again. Nostalgia!
Another, this is eve from 8 years ago, still one of my favourite eve promos. All player voices/content
