Like Star Trek and Marmite, the world is divided into two sections: those who love EVE Online unconditionally and those who just don't get it. While I confess I'm definitely in the latter (insert clichéd and overused learning curve reference here), most of Team Massively seem to adore the game - specifically the mining and making-money-to-buy-bigger-ships part.

Such is the way of 2009 that it is possible to gauge the popularity of a game just by seeing how many people blog or tweet about a game. Indeed blogger CrazyKinux has started listing them, and according to his calculations, there are currently 235 EVE blogs with the number growing every day. If you want to take a look at the full, regularly-updated blogroll, you can check it out here.
