Eve-Online: Trinity

Eve Online makes a first in MMO’s with their adoption of Valve’s steam platform as an alternative distribution method. Their Steam launch offer is also particularly good for anyone that would like to give the game a test drive with some extra trial time and sign-up discount.

EVE Online, the award winning massively multiplayer online (MMO) game from CCP, is coming to Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 13 million accounts worldwide.

To celebrate the launch of Steam’s first massively multiplayer online game offering, a special 21-day trial period for EVE will be available, free of charge, to all Steam gamers. Steam gamers will also save $5 off their first full month of EVE Online.

EVE Online is a leader in online gaming technology, hosting hundreds of thousands of players in the same persistent universe. The latest of the EVE Online expansions, which are always free for players, introduces a graphic update of gargantuan proportions and a host of new gameplay features. Every ship, station, and stargate is rendered in an amazing splendor of spacefaring sights.

For any Eve-Online players, please note this is only a new distribution method for CCP and the game client, in no way are you required to have or run Steam in order to play Eve.
