???

look at what we get. This is just some of the negatives (theirs plenty)

- It can be expensive (Multiple accounts, if your lazy just buying GTC and selling for isk)
- Most time consuming MMO I ever played, sometimes feels like a 2nd job at times
- Most content is mind blowing boring (If you mission / rat just shooting red +'s ZZZZZZ)
- It takes near forever to get anywhere or to see action. Some roams last a few hours with close to no action, some not though.


Ive been playing since 03, ive taken small breaks in the past (like month long breaks during long skill training), about 3 months ago i was POSITIVELY sure i was finally done with the game...unsubbed for the first time ever.. All my friends (our "Group") that ive played with for the past 6 years now, no one else plays.. but i had to come back, i tried every other MMO out there to fill the void but nothing compares to EvE.

I'm thinking for me its goals and being able to contribute to them with your friends. Ive always been a PvPer and even to this day when i get in small fights (non blob fests) and its close it still gets my heart pounding, no MMO has ever done that to date. The rush.

For me, One of the main points is Thats its a 1 server, one reality, 1 universe, where ever you might be on it, your online with thousands of other players at the same time, also ITS IN SPACE!!!!! Cool

Space ships with lazor beams.... Need I say more?

Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows.

The choice to do try all different aspects, and to play the game as I want.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

To feel the cruelty and to have consequences.

It gives me an overwhelming feeling to play such a special unique game with hundred thousands of smart people all over the world.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

Actually, see if the audio folks would be interested in adding that "balloon deflating whistle" noise for pod destruction. Maybe for the April (2013) patch. P

Complexity & the time investment are the major players in why i'm so hooked on this game, Secondary is the fear & uncertainty that the game environment provides which constantly pushes me into a fight or flight state of mind.

There is nothing out there for me that even comes close to Eve's depth.

Never in all my varied gaming career has a game made me touch cloth like EVE has & never has any game felt so alive,
Took me a while to get hooked but i'm beyond saving now, Eve has her cold & sweaty hands cupping my plums & i'm powerless to resist.

That damn Damsel. Every time i rescue her, a few days later she is back in that damn pleasure hub. I couldnt live with myself if i left the game for good and she had to fend for herself.....
