Hi all

Used to play back In 03, back with isk to buy myself back into the game by that I mean buy a "toon"

Used to always live in the north, these days I won't be a hardcore player more so just enjoying what I can.

Maybe aquire a industrialist but if I mine then problems with hailing since won't have an alt?

Running missions, I imagine gets boring?

FW? Any good and would it cause problems doing that as a main char?

Just want to enjoy eve, make new friends and make isk along the way.
Any one got any ideas for me to try?

Cause as much strife and chaos as possible.

Be creative. I like doing some safari'ng. It is rather pleasant.

Infiltrate every big alliance in the blue doughnut and hit disband on all of them at once. Good luck!

Just roll a fresh char. You can be in a dumpster plexing frigate inside of a day's training. Then all you have to do is find a corp to join with so you'll have more fun. Alternatively, do the same with Brave Newbies in null or RvB in highsec.

I've been a station/region trader for years and this is what i'm "retiring," from the marketplace to do. I built up more than enough isk to keep me shipped for years, time to go burn it all while learning something new and having fun doing it.

Having burned out on EVE a few times myself, I've learned only one lesson: If the game begins to become about that next million sp, then you need to quit and take a break. There's always plenty to do without hitting skill benchmarks, though they do exist, and learning to work around them either through teamwork or creativity is a lot of what makes eve enjoyable.

Indeed it is not all about SP, And that is why it makes it possible to return. As I once was in the top list of Skill points in eve under my last "face/toon" before I retired from 0.0 life burning me out beyond ever wanting to come back

There is always one, firstly it was a witty joke about the goons.. Of you read me stating I belonged to the north would give a hint to me not being best buds with the bee's. I played "from" 2003.. So I was around when goons were flying in rifters to there early development.

I'm not a yank so I'll skip on the kool aid "bro" :)

How can you claim to be nice if you would only do that to the nicest players in the game? Sad

I wouldn't do it either but it's less to do with being nice. I have asked, who will we love to hate after goons and I don't have the answer.

as for your quest for a goal?
I haven't had much luck in that department for five years or more. I suppose we all want to be a mogul at something. Even at the cosmetic level. It just seems to fall apart once you research the short term time sink involved.
