We all know EVE Online is influential and groundbreaking it's on special way but Chip.de, one of Germany's premiere IT magaizines ranked it at the top. While the article is completely in German, you can get the idea from CCP.

Chip.de, one of Germany's leading IT magazines, recently named EVE as number five in their top ten list of most important MMOs. If you can read German, you can find the article linked on this page. Danke schön to our German-speaking players who keep coming back for more!

"EVE Online is unbelievably intense. EVE can be frustrating. But whoever attended in one of the epic battles between two opposing alliances won't fall back to all the other childs play."
