Thanks for the notes peeps...especially the thoughful folks.

I had the same questions about corp life/pvp...to what end?

After I thought about it...I found the endgame for eve and it's this: you decide to spend your time playing this game over some other activity. I just found that cycling, learning the banjo, and being outside became my priority. When that happened, all of those pixels suddenly became worthless.


I still have time to play EvE with a girlfriend, a job, and other hobbies (Shooting & Archery, Weightlifting, Reading Sci-Fi novels)

But then again my hobbies and life are focused like a lazer, I only have few things I spend time on but those things are MAJOR parts of my life.

If EvE is not for you, then its not for you. But why biomass instead of just letting the account lapse? Eve has a way of drawing people back in time after time.

What ever the ultimate decision, good luck and enjoy life.

This is what happens when you never get beyond PVE. You collect isk, buy all the things, then ask "now what" and quit the game. This is exactly why CCP doesn't need to cater too much to the risk-averse beancounters.

edit: I'm in the midst of my own crisis regarding Eve, wondering whether I'll be playing it next month. But it's not because I don't see a point in what I do...it's because it's become increasingly hard to do it.


Its a bit like real life.

You get a movie deal/record deal, get all the money, buy everything you want but your not happy, you have no friends and its the same **** everyday.

Then you adopt a black baby because you are stumped on what to do.

Not offering an opinion one way or the other; looks like OP went ahead with his plans:


Haulin Gneiss cannot be found.

There is currently no character profile with the name Haulin Gneiss

Ooh. Well. Turns out playing EVE for PVE and ISK might not be the best idea you could come up with. Rest in peace.

Do you always want other people to answer your questions and find meaning in your activities?
You could follow that question down any rabbit hole, even "Important" Real LIfe goals.

The End Game is what you make it, the reasoning is your own, the joy comes from within.
Yes its a game, one that has no real end other than what you want out of it.

Seems like you are done... move on.

Well. Here it is, 26 hours later.

EDIT: Yes! Gone! You actually pulled the trigger, eh?

I think you're kinda missing the point here.

There's no end. There's no final goal. There's no finish-line.

ISK isn't the end-game. There is no end-game. Your wallet isn't an experience bar to fill. You won't ding 80 once you reach a certain amount of ISK and suddenly a whole new game opens up.

You just fly around and do whatever you want. Or not.

Just grab a cheap ship and fly into low-sec. Scan some sites and run them, just to see what's there. Shoot somebody on a gate, just to see what will happen.

Join Faction War or RvB, grab a cool frigate of your choice and speed around shooting at reds that show up on your overview.

Scan down a wormhole, grab a tower and see if you can survive on your own. Mine your own ammo, build your own ships and survive whilst you find it interesting.

It's not a binary situation of either running missions all day or sitting in null sec taking orders and flying in giant fleets. You can do whatever the hell you want.

A week ago me and a few buddies flew into null sec with T1 cruisers and frigs. Straight into a 30man fleet. Two of us made it out. It was hilarious.
A few days after that I met a guy from TEST alliance who was ninja salvaging my mission and had a short chat with him, then went back to running missions.
Yesterday I jumped through an Avatar in low-sec to catch a lone drake with my alliance (sadly the Avatar wasn't ours) to kill and pod it.
Today I'm running anomalies and evading war targets, hoping I get some faction loot whilst not getting my ship blown up.

Just pick a direction, pick a ship and start flying. If you do the same thing every day it's no wonder you get bored.

I'd getting a whole bunch of cheap ships and taking an EvE vacation, just wander around the map and see what's there.

Much love for disposing of yourself in an environmentally conscious method, most people just leave their corpses strewn from hither to yon. Kudos.

Oh, and sorry to see another go.

Since the OP has now gone to the great biomass facility in Jita, and has hopefully found something to keep themselves happy, I will pop a lock on this thread - ISD Type40.
