This new expansion makes it easier to get in to the game, but it is still a gigantic learning curve for some people and that is my only gripe as people without patience will not play it so you may be forced to find in-game friends to play with. This game was a must buy for MMORPG fans who are looking for a truly deep and expanding space based science fiction universe and after spending the last couple of weeks with it again I have to say it is a better buy today.
Despite some partially unfinished features and a few annoying balance issues, EVE Online is greater than the sum of its parts and the best "sandbox" MMO in a market cluttered by canned content. Still a bit harsh to newbies, but with the release of Apocrypha more accessible than ever before. If you can get over the initial hurdles, potentially more addictive than World of Warcraft - you have been warned.

This game has so much going for it.
16 years online!
Great community of player.
Vastly different from certain other MMO's (Higher quality player for the most part).
Open world that you can be anything from a miner to trader to faction PvP to space exploration and a million more.
Nearly Unlimited potential for even non-paying "Alpha" players.
vastly more potential for paying customers as well "Omega." (This is NOT a pay to win by any means).
The Guild concept is replaced by Corporations that in itself begins a more extensive journey.
Regarding Young Kids: I would rather have a child play this game than World of Warcraft or GTA are any of the other Jump Scare type games. There is no scantly clad females in armor, there is no **** etc. Yes there is violence but to an extent of no different that watching an episode of Start Trek (any version) on TV. This is NOT hello Kitty by any means but a vastly better choice than many of the current MMO games. HOWEVER as with any MMO. Be vigilant as to whom your child is communicating with, this pertains to any online game.
The community is not all kids in trade chat with tasteless jokes and trolling. A good change from Trade and City chat in other games.
Go for it, it is free!

If you prefer to play solo like in WoW, or WAR, then this is not going to be the game for you. But if you enjoy PVP, and grouping up with a team to take down another team then this game is meant for you. But be warned, it is very easy to lose track of time in this game as the universe is so big you will quickly find yourself saying "Just one more planet to explore…then I'll go to bed".
EVE Online: Apocrypha brings more territory to discover and explore and a softer learning curve.
Here’s the thing: it’s not for everybody. Every major game design decision is a double-edged sword – cleaving a path for novelty and free-form fun on one side, and slashing down potential subscribers with the other.
It asks a lot of the player, but if you can hack it, you’re in for a truly unique experience.
If you are looking for a different MMO, or your are tired of fantasy realms, Eve online is the perfect choice to make. This expansion adds a lot of new contents to this dark sci-fi universe and also helps new players by tweaking its tough learning curve.
Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

Eve Online Summary by its developers
Explicit or Implicit:
enter a world of intrigue and possibilities where you can work together to shape this universe in whatever way you choose (e.g. Corporations, Fleets, Stocks, R&D, cooperate and build, cooperate and conquer, backstab, multi-day massive space battles for territory, espionage, etc.)
Reality:
They provide the tools to encourage conflict, and pay lip-service to cooperation. Because they're too clueless, defensive, or perhaps cynical to believe that people will also pay for a game where they can bring order to an unruly universe.
They don't want this. They want you to destroy everything you and anyone might build so that their community will give them time and money to rebuild it.
If after 17 years you haven't provided in game tools to support legal systems and governments. You're clearly just pretenders.
You want people to destroy each other in spaceships. If that's your thing, endlessly, by all means have at, they'll pay lip service to the rest, but don't be fooled that this will ever be anything else.
(Background: fortunately we never got **** into this. But you can see the destruction all around you. This is basically an engine with tools for sociopaths and griefers, which is apparently what the developers are).

A game that is neither won or lost. Only experienced. This game has a large learning curve if you want PVP ( player vs player) or not if you want to just blow up computer ships. Playing PVE ( you vs the computer) requires running missions. You can only run so many before you fall asleep in your chair! Learning to fly the ship takes time....real time. Learning to PVP take lots of money and some one to teach you or LOTS of patience and LOTS of time. Even with all that time and training for PVP getting "blob'd" will be the norm and all the training and biggest or fastest ship you will loose. I have been playing for 5 years and its a love hate relationship...I love to hate it! If you want to play for enjoyment....join a corp! This is not a game for the "Loan Ranger". Its 5 years of my life I will never get back.

Summary The EVE Online: Apocrypha expansion coincides with the release of EVE Online as a boxed product through a partnership with Atari. The fabric of space itself is transformed as vast, unpredictable wormholes open to connect previously unexplored regions of the universe to the stars of New Eden. The seeds of advanced new technology await ins...
