If so, why?

If not, why?

Yes, suicide ganking and awoxing are fun.

As one would expect from someone so meta.

It doesn't just make me happy... it IS happiness! EVE is reeeeeaaaaaal man!!! *slow waving motions with arms*


Seriously though... it's a hobby. Some days I am happy, other days I'm burned out. But I keep coming back to it. Like a battered Tina Turner.

I have no idea if this is some kind of subtle insult or not. :/

Actually despite my desperation to get first post in a fresh new thread this was pretty much the answer I couldn't be bothered to think up.

Have no idea why I am playing, it is like a crack habit.

8 years of spread sheets and I am not sure wtf is going on anymore.

However, It still get the juices flowing pushing someones **** in or getting mine pushed in for that matter.

i didn't answer the question

I, Benny Ohu, thoroughly enjoy logging into EVE, typing 'AFK' in corp chat, playing cartoons on telly and eating this fine chocolate cream eclair.

Yup. Would be utterly silly to play if I didn't like it.

It's a good way to unwind. Focusses my mind on someting that isn't an intractible technical problem, needy customers, or grinding boredom. Besides, occasionally there's Yarr!

Yes, I enjoy playing EVE. Why? Well, I haven't analyzed it before... and I won't start now. I just like it.

Happy? Enjoy?

No. Just mildly satisfying, on occasions.

The forums are #1 reason to keep subbed. They provide a quantum of hope, a sweet niche of my own and ample room to vent massive amounts of frustration and hate so I can afford to keep worrying about this awesome turd of a game, after investing in it a lot of time, money and emotional involvement.

I love EVE. I hate EVE. I want it best. I want it dead.

Only EVE is EVE. Everything else are just video games.

EvE is the only game that has ever given me true fear or adrenaline. WoW is a great game but there was no fear in death. In some occausions I can recall one just yesterday where a simple suicide gank gave me the jitters and had my heart thumping very fast. Whether I enjoy eve or not the game make me feel Alive. And I like that.

The tears of noobs keeps me young.

The tears of the jealous keeps me sane.

The pat on my ego's back makes me want moar.
