I'll argue that EVE is one of the more role playing intensive MMOs out there today. You want RPG? Well here you are. What follows is perhaps one of the best example of role playing in EVE.
Here's a link to the original thread on the EVE forums.…
Wait till next week before you do the 14-day trail. EVE is under
