Been playing constantly since pre-Empyrean Age, with between one and four accounts. I like to unwind at the end of the day after my day job with Eve: sometimes it's working on client websites while doing something AFK, or mining missions while post-processing various images from my REAL hobby...

I don't watch the teevee, don't do the Facebook hangout crap, and don't waste my time with station or gate camping. :)

I don't know the Quafe girl might have gotten a few lonely sobs.

Big space universe it self, after 7 years im bored with almost all aspects and features like game mechanic parts etc, well no wonder over 500days online... I like cosmos - space, cool looking background, ships models, stations and space environment, so im here, also because i have some friends in game who i meet years ago in EvE, some of them are better than some people in real life...

If it bleed we can kill it.

The fact that I can co-opt so many titles of reality shows so easily tells me that we have WAY too many reality shows.

The best lesson is the hard lesson. Removes all ambiguities.

He probably went back into low with his first Hulk and got it smashed. Now you have THAT on your concience.

What people find fun is subjective. Some find fun in the means more so then the end result. For example I found it more fun when building up a corporation and an alliance to gain space, then I did when we actually got settled and owned it.

Which was my point. I've built up so many corps/alliances + infrastucture and then torn them down just to do it again.

After my sabbatical, it's not happening again. So now I'm going to play for FUN. Puts a whle new slant on things when you log in with a "I don't give a **** what I lose today" attitude. Even Mittens talked about risk aversion as being a blight on Eve.

Perhaps all the carebears (of which I was chronically disposed to be) can learn something here and play Eve in the reverse.

Disaccumulate. Try it.

Thats another great thing about EvE. It caters for different types of people. People play different games for different reasons, we all have our favourate. Some people like to create an organization, lead a bunch of people to success. Others enjoy EvE because of the social aspect, teamwork and the like. Some just like to see the world burn while lapping up the tears of their victims. Others play for all the things people lable as boring, such as carebears. Low and nullsec players will never understand why carebears continue to play considering the boring things they get up to in high, but it is exactly those things that make them continue to subscribe! Hauling imaginary things from one place to another for profit, mining endlessly, building stuff or just plain old missions. I've got a good friend that literally doesn't undock, so intent is he on his spreadsheets and industrial constructions. Shocked

Personally i think its great! The more people playing EvE the better, and be damned with the reason why. It caters for both Pve and Pvp styles. So i'm going to have to disagree with the mittens here, because i've always believed that both sides can exist in eve, regardless of how many people will cross the line and try to force their playstyle on those not interested in it. They're still going to play eve for the things they find fun.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec. As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
