I like it, it entertains me, its "fun" to me right now. However, they will be hard pressed to beat Star Citizen, and a lot of the empty promises in Eve will be why I quit playing it.

No smuggling after 5 years? **** that.

I'm playing Eve because Hello kitty online doesn't have monocles.

How many of Star Citizen's promises will be empty?

If not, why?


Happy ? No.
Happy is an amazingly rare feeling you get when something extraordinary happens.


Do I enjoy the game ?
I guess I do up to a point.

Its hours / days / weeks of boredom followed by minutes / hours of insane adrenaline rush.

The thing I hate most about it is - ME !
As soon as I get ahead in this game - ISK wise - it all goes away to SOMER and endless hours of rating commence once again.

But if it wasnt for loosing endless billion on gambling there would be no reason for me to login except when fleet ping goes out. It takes me a week to amass enough ISK for PVP and PLEX for coming few months and then boredom settles in real quick.


As a coalition mate once said - EVE is an amazingly boring game we pay to play in order to have minuets of fun.
Think this sums it quite nicely.

I agree with him completely, only without the SOMER addiction.

Eve doesn't exactly make me happy. But it keeps me interested because it's so complex. It keeps me satisfied though. That's really all Im after in a game. Interest and challenge.

Its why all the other mmos suck turds. No complexity = no interest.

Interest ~ Happiness.

Taking a big dump in a public toilet and not flushing makes me happy.

EVE just gives me time to eat loads of cheeseburgers so I have ammo for it.

That is like asking "how many unknown unknowns do you think you will ever find?". For all you know it could be a complete sucess or failure. Speculating on it now is just questionable and foolish.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?
