EVE General Discussion

So, while I love Eve, I never get to play. I have a job and a girlfriend so the most I get to invest is about an hour or two per month. Other than that, I train forever.

There used to be a day when I could play for about 20 - 30 hours / week, but that led to a divorce. -I gave my old account away to my cousin. Now I have a new account (I couldn't walk away completely, I tried) that has just been training for the last 20 months.

I'm just curious, how often do people play, does it impact your family, and how do you make it work? For me it seems like if I can't get a block of time of at least 4 hours, there is no point to logging in. There is always yardwork, housework, office work, or other commitments that don't allow time blocks that big.

Just curious.

Very little right now.

But that is down to me lacking a sense of direction/purpose in Eve.

The wide range of choices are there, I just need to get motivated to take one or some of them.

If your girlfriend was named Eve, "How much time do you spend in Eve?" could be a loaded question...

Solution: get her hooked and play together.

I never said I was rational. I really like Eve, it's just frustrating that I haven't figured out how to make it work.

My kind of girl. My next vacation is going to involve a lot of hiking and sight seeing in the Southwest US.

Today I logged into the game for at least 20 minutes. It was revolting. Every fiber of my being struggled against it, even though all I did was clone-jump once and autopilot somewhere over 8 jumps.

Get her interested in the skill queu.
Thats the main reason I play EVE, I am fascinated by it. It makes me feel like I progress yet I don't feel bad when I can't play for several days or even weeks because I can just hop online once, and put a long skill in que and it will help me progress on the times that I can play. ***Start slow, try to get her to play for just 30 minutes, do one sec mission or something. Don't get her stuck in high-sec, take her to low in a tiny ship and let her get blown up a few times. its fun :P

I hate most video games because I typically go out to "adventure" as you described she does.

multiple accounts many hours a day. I'm a house wife and this is one of my favorite hobbies.

Once or twice a month for a couple of hours. Considering that playing Eve (or any MMO at that) is completely useless and makes you look like a disgrace to your family, your nation and the entire human species to most other people that's about the maximum of lifetime I'm willing to flush down the toilet.

The really cool people don't play the game at all and just use it as a means to donate money to the starving children of Iceland.

Did 50 hours a week before Diablo 3, now it's more like 5 hours a week if I'm lucky :/
