I played it non-stop for 5 months. It is an awesome game. And it is highly addictive. PVP is addictive, and even playing the market is addictive.
These are the things that made me quit:
- To be really effective in PVP, you need at least 2 accounts, the more the better. And you will have to multibox them.
- You need to practice PVP, alot. Which is time I would prefer to spend practicing a real life skill.
- Some of your team members (or corp members) will eventually overreact and you will get annoyed with them, especially when expensive ships are at stake (if you lose a ship, it is lost, forever, and some ships' real life costs are significant). Some corp leaders will take the gaming part too seriously and act accordingly, which is very annoying of course.
In 5 months, I managed to be Killer of the Month twice in an elite PVP training corp etc... (I have 2 accounts: 1 main, and 1 anonymous scout for offense and defense). I could not be ambushed, because of my scout. And I could scout the whereabouts of the enemy and ambush them.

And it is completely true :)
EDIT2:
Choose Gallente, you will not regret it.
Hybrid weapons do some massive damage. And drones are just sick.
