Starcraft.
One off payment, still being patched and it's one of the most widely used games in Asian pro-gaming.
But, wait until Starcraft 2 IMHO.

| In the end. people, it is only a game. Why not try going out for a walk in the evening and listen to the songbirds giving it their all?

| Hi Rev, Firstly let me apologise for taking a little while to respond, I've had a longer than usual time away from the office this weekend. I don't want to get too deeply involved in opinions of the game, except to say that EVE Online clearly dwells high in the echelons of MMOs for its achievements. I would say however, that EVE Online has not been purposely overlooked in Gaming Weekly or MM, though I do acknowledge that it receives less coverage than more recent titles. For my part, much of this is to do with keeping Gaming Weekly up to date, and the news available. Micro Mart is not primarily a gaming magazine, and space is limited. I do try to cram as much in as possible every week, and so inevitably I try to get as much news about the latest games and developments in the industry. Having said that, I do try to note any significant news, and so did mention EVE online in the 'Sorry!' boxout in issue 995, commenting on Reynir Hardason's belief the game could last half a century. At the time I commented, and still say, that it would be a fantastic achievment and well-deserved. And I think that sums up my thoughts on the universe and the community. Of course, an interesting point on the two-week free trial, and something I could do well to mention in the section...perhaps even take a look myself and report back  Finaly, I would say fear not, the magazine as a whole has nothing against the game (of course each writer's gaming choices are their own) and when it comes to the gaming section, I hold no grudge against EVE. I hope this allays some fears Rev, and as always, your feedback is greatly appreciated Kevin

Rev, it's clearly something you feel quite strongly about, and Eve's been around long enough for many gamers to not know much about it anymore, so why not put together an article and submit it to the mag?
Maybe a basic overview of the game and how it has progressed since launch?

Or Tippon, expand that for a few MMO games.
I doubt a whole article on just one game would get printed, but as MMOs are getting more prevalent, a summary of the main ones would be good.
It'd probably be like:
WoW, GW, Eve, Everquest 1/2, LotR, Runescape and maybe one or two more?

Thanks for the reply
I'm sure Eve hasn't been truly ignored, but there is a major expansion due this summer, as always it's a free expansion which introduces factional warfare... something that has been promised for a couple of years.
I might try to write a small piece about Eve, but being a veteran I suspect it would be a mystery to someone not familiar with the game, I might try to avoid phrases like "If you need a MAPC to increase grid, then training AWU will help get those neuts online, and don't forget the meta modules can reduce CPU and grid."
As for the learning curve....
Eve learning curve

Wasn't that how this complaint came about anyway - because EVE Online was only mentioned in passing in an article in issue 1004? 
I know at least one sometime Micro Mart writer plays EVE: http://www.denofgeek.com/games/1644/eve_online_a_safe_haven_for_warcraft_refugees.html
