Well as you can see from the bookmarks that have been appearing, I am now playing a game called Eve Online. It's been out for almost 5 years now but unlike most games that are around that long it is still increasing its' subscriber base. The other neat thing is that all 20-30k people that are logged in at a single time are on the same server cluster. That means that if you know anybody else that plays the game you can meet up with them. No more getting separated from your friends just because you started out on the wrong server.
This game has a pretty hard learning curve, mostly because it is completely open-ended in its' gameplay. Want to do commerce? Be a pirate hunter? Invent things? You can do any and all of this if you so choose. There is also a very harsh death penalty in that you buy your own spaceships. If it gets blown up then it's gone and all that hard earned money is down the tubes.
I'm not going to bore you to tears as there is a TON of information out there about this game. Go check out their website yourself and let me know if you end up trying it out. There's a free 14 day trial so why not?
