1) best avatars among MMO games (emotional link I guess);

2) ability to switch from a boring activity to another soon-to-be-boring activity.

Similar to gambling / poker. You get dealt different hands and have to play them out.

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

I like the freedom offered by the sandbox and persistent skill training.

How about you guys? Cool



The problem is when I'm playing any other game, it's basically about the PvE and pretty soon I get to thinking "man, if I'm gonna grind PvE then I should at least get ISK for it..."

Also tbh the people. EVE punishes stupidity, and it's OK with CCP that it does. That's such a massive difference from every other community.

And ofc I ♥ my INIT brothers

If I was allowed a rack of megapulse lasers to solve my problems IRL, I'd probably play EVE less.

I did some research and maybe I have some good news for you, Malcanis:

Quote:


Ownership

There are no laws in England dealing with the ownership of lasers in the UK. It is therefore legal to own lasers in the UK of any power.

Use

I recall reading in many places that the use of lasers is "illegal"; in the UK. However, I cannot find any law or regulation to this effect. I recently did a search for "laser"; in a collection of all UK statutes and statutory instruments in the last 30 years and did not find any relevant entries. I have also searched the Health and Safety Executive website. Again, there is nothing to show any specific laws dealing with the use of lasers.

The position therefore seems to be that the use of lasers in the UK is merely subject to the general law. For hobbyists this means that it is *legal to use lasers *in public places (fields, parks etc) as long as you do so safely.. It might possibly be a nuisance at common law if you were to dazzle large numbers of people, but that is about it. Of course, that said, you should always use your common sense. Don't go shining high powered pointers at planes, police cars, people or through windows.



So, the ownership and use of a rack of Megapulse lasers seems to be perfectly legal in the UK...now the only problem is where to get one?


I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

This game still hasn't fallen prey to the 'more accessible' disease that plagues MMOs.

Though admittedly with the incessant urge to ret-con fluff module names, the increasing 'exploration-for-idiots' and the never-ending boosting of CONCORD, even EVE isn't completely resistant to it.

The people - wait no I hate the people.

EvE allows me to make a thousand people sad just by declaring war on them. As a bonus I get to kill a few too if Im lucky.

Ha ha ha! First thing I'd do is awox the boss and take his stuff. Lol IRL is a terrible grindfest, 25% corp tax and 8 hours of mandatory CTA's a day!

This.

My main reason though is every time I think I know what I'm doing, I break thorough a new level of noob and find out there is so much more to learn.

The more I read the forums over the years, the more I swear. To god. That the typos are intentional mistakes. Part o f the encryption.

The sov wars always pique my interest and bring me back for a while. Then they burn me out. The very things I like about this game are the very things that drive me away eventually.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

EVE always managed to deliver that mystical feel that I associate with a good sci-fi atmosphere. Homeworld kind of established that to begin with, and EVE has been a continuation of it. EVE is a place where you don't always have to be playing. Sometimes you can just be.

You can leave life in a box but you can never leave EVE, it has clonesLol

Besides what other game do you hear people talk about pvp with shaking hands, thumping chests and in game news making its way in to the mainstream press?

Training while offline gives me the sensation that I am playing video games without having to play them. I enjoy knowing that even though my life is going nowhere outside the internet, I am slowly progressing to the ability to operate a TITAN in EvE and with that goal in mind my dopamine levels remain elevated and depression nearly eliminated. My next step is to create a massive scam corp to collect taxes from thousands of players and convert that isk into plex that I can sell on my website for a discount.

Money laundering and meta-gameplay mechanics keep an intellect such as myself stimulated, inferior players will claim to be champions at gas harvesting, but men like me are the ones producing the gas.
