Actually your wrong, EVE is as far away from Earth & Beyond as you can get. It is slow as honey dripping out of a bottle. There is no content and space is empty except for ships, space stations and rocks. Hands down the worst game ever created, but many people are suckered into the slooooow skill development of the characters.

Of course I must be wrong as they have 100,000 users.

The game that is like Earth & Beyond is Vendetta. http://www.vendetta-online.com/
