Don't do that. Even if you don't do much in life there is some good to be done, people who would miss having you around, and a reason that we are here. Even if its only playing Eve or taking the dog for a walk or holding the door open for people carrying things.

I could not do this myself =-) I remember every character that I have ever played, they are more than just items that could be discarded that way.

Just admit you're mildly addicted and play when the urge takes you, why torture yourself needlessly?

I've heard that heroin¹ works good.

Keep paying a monthly sub and train your character up for some possible future activities. CoolLol


What? If going to keep paying its better to just do the yearly sub, one its cheaper, two you forget about it till after the auto re-sub and you get that email from EVE that you're stuck for another year. Lol

I went on a three year sojourn. And came back refreshed, recharged and ready to sort of play again.

I played Final Fantasy 11 for 5 years. I thought I'd never quit. I'd always go back when new content was introduced - and recently a new expansion was released. Sadly, the game itself has changed so much that it just isn't fun anymore. It's only a rush to get the best and greatest equipment now. Everyone has high-level characters or rush them as fast as possible to 99 (when it first started, the cap was 75, which took months to get - now only takes a few weeks with proper help).

Anyhow, from my experience you can't quit unless the game itself changes to a degree that you no longer enjoy playing it. All MMOs are designed from their very core to keep people playing by getting them emotionally attached to something in-game. I quit FFXI because all the people I used to play with had long moved on and the content had gone in the crapper.

So, it all comes down to whether or not you enjoy it. By enjoy it, I don't mean "oh I'm bored I better log into EVE and play" - this is not enjoyment. Being addicted to anything is not enjoyment. It's escapism to the Nth degree. If you no longer play to have fun, and play merely because you always have and don't want to quit... that is a good sign to quit. You gotta keep in mind that it's just a game.

My two cents. Lol

One does NOT simply walk away from eve .....
