EVE General Discussion

Main reason for continuing to play is to continue to achieve goals that you have set yourself.

My most recently achieved goal was to put up my own Outpost, which I completed a few months ago, it now belongs to someone else though. http://evemaps.dotlan.net/outpost/0UBC-R

EVE Online is a massively multiplayer online game set 23,000 years in the future.

I would suggest quitting, but before that you should give me all your stuff.

Some stars according to their info are 44-68 billion years old, with our universe being 13.5 bil y.o gets EVE bit further into the future, haha.

Things I do solo are exploration in nulls, gas mining in WHs, highsec combat explo. Want to try solo camping in a recon sometime, WH sites or whatever.

Yep.
See the above answer.

Your not going to find a reason to continue if you want to try to keep playing solo. You might as well just unsub now.

Eve is obviously not for you.

Solo PVP is great - though it's not really solo since you're interacting with other players.

I largely play solo currently, though I have lots of contacts and am in multiple channels, so I continue because I have made some good friends in Eve. Even if you play solo talk to people there are a lot of people who play solo and talk with people like them. Also make friends with people that you can join with for PvP and stuff, so do not play completely solo.

Another reason which has been stated by others is to have objectives, to put up your own outpost is an impressive one, but one of mine is to use a dreadnought at least once. To get on a super kill, tried for that the other day, almost, to get on a Titan kil. To fly every single subcap in the game, almost there... To do a BLOP's drop... I intend to get involved in one more sov war with my current skill levels. Another objective I have is to be difficult to kill, and to have fun by wasting the time of people who play in a lame way, such as AFK cloaky campers, I like making people trying to kill me waste hours of their time hunting me and its so easy to do.

Earning ISK when people try to stop you is great fun, I used to operate in a system in NPC 0.0 where I would rat with reds in system, even though the ISK level was low it was fun because if you can kill all the rats in a belt when someone is trying to kill you in that belt then warp out to another belt their morale is deflated by a huge amount. Its fun to do it even when they try to stop you. When in Sov 0.0 we had one in a bomber and he was on his own, I worked that out so I was doing Sanctums in a Raven, I was set up to omni tank and come in from 170 km distance, the other toon does the warp in from a random location. This merchant uncloaked to find that I was not tanked for EM only, I set my drones on him, he warped away, I continued doing the Sanctum, he came in three times and ran each time. Then I had the joy of killing him later on the gate as he was leaving system, oh the joy!!!!

For example when we have lame cloakies in a bomber who have cyno back up, then go and run the belts in frigates with a group of other people. So many people in Eve play to stop people from playing, if you can continue to play and have fun in spite of this then that is worth doing.
