I have tried with little success at advertising to my friends, family, and co-workers about EVE. To give an idea, I work in an area with many geeks, but most subscribe to other, less deserving games (not mentioning names...). What has worked the best for others? I want to up my corp numbers, as well as have more to talk about on lunch, etc. Any pointers?

From SETH SCHIESEL, New York Times Video game reviewer
"EVE ONLINE. Ideal audience: hyperanalytical gamers who think they have the determination and intellect to thrive in a cold, harsh science-fiction universe. Eve is actually six years old, but it continues to evolve as the most complex and interesting online game around, one in which the players themselves decide the fate of the galaxy. The game's learning curve is more akin to a brick wall, and it is not for the fainthearted. But it is one of the only games I personally play for fun."

This game reviewer frequently compares other MMO's to eve, and make oblique references to how much they suck in comparison.
Some more articles to get people interested:
I'd never played an online RPG before I started playing eve. A certain friend had been trying to get me into the game for 5+ years before I finally gave in one bored weekend, after reading yet another nytimes article about alliance theft amounting to more than $10,000 of assets stolen. Haven't looked back since :)
