"Do what you want", "player run" – EVE Echoes Review

When people say you can do what you want, what they mean is this game is a gank-fest like open world PvP WoW, minus NPC except the few guards, the terrain is replaced by a star field, lose everything you carry on death, all quests are run to other side of the map and either kill all the space murlocs, or loot fifty resource nodes. You can grind, and get ganked. You can mine, and get ganked. You can run in any direction for hours, and you will get ganked. But this is no FPS, respawn and jump into the fray, this is MMORPG-like as in it will take you many many many hours to get things back again. You lose everything you carry. That's all this game is, run around and kick other players in the balls, in space. Make players feel invested enough so that getting kicked in the balls really hurts, in space. You're not a pirate, you're just PvP flagged a few minutes. It's that shallow. "Player-run", as in use your imagination. And it looks pretty.
