I tried EVE way back when because the logistics bit interested me. Lasted maybe two weeks—yes, not enough time, but the time sink required was ridiculous.

I point all those interested in EVE Online to ProsperousUniverse. No P2W. No auto-recurring sub. Slow paced and doesn’t penalize you for not being online all the time.

I got a week's free trial to EVE Online way back in the day. I played through the tutorial bit where it shows you how to click on an asteroid to shoot it, I got into the game proper, encountered another human character, asked what the game was about, and he said "Anything you want." And I logged off and never looked back.
