Who creates game content. You and I. We are the game content.

Goonswarm is part of canon lore in the EVE universe. So is The New Order. Pandemic Legion hotdropping a guy, that's a part of canon EVE lore too. The creation of your character...yup, part of EVE's grand history now. They're just as much, if not more a part of EVE's story, as the Chronicles are.

If you were to be magically transported to the EVE universe right now, the denizens there would be discussing how the capsuleer James 315 has been able to organize a group of fellow capsuleers for the ganking of miners. They'd be worried if the parcel they sent got caught in a suicide camp outside Jita. They'd be pissed that ISN didn't run Sansha off in that incursion, where their best friend got abducted.

What I'm saying is, *WE* are the story. *WE* are the content, and content creators. We aren't playing out a part in a script that some game dev made, we're writing the script as we go. That is what makes EVE unique, and an awesome game.

Is this for, like, a school project or something?

It's for like, the basis of why people argue on the gd forums constantly and also why people are saying that they are bored. There's a lot to but frankly a fair percentage of it is outside of the realms of the average player unless they introduce many alts to tge equation which mighr be *a* solution but not "the best" solution.

Mining. Then using the ISK you make mining to destroy what others have built.

Or

Mining. Doing nothing but mining until you have several skilled alts all mining in your own little fleet and making more money in High Sec than is ever possible in low. Then continue doing it since all your alts are paid for by PLEX and the game is free for you.

That's EVE content.

All the world's a stage and all the men and women are the players.

Getting away with it.

Every time someone tries to hunt me down in low sec I've created content for both of us. Generally it's much more satisfying to me, but I do not always get away.

Live or die, I like to think I've stalled some baddies so that some goodies can also get away with it.

Lol. They have this thing now, it's called a sandbox game.


Like I said contrary to this community's popular belief. CCP has sold this sandbox game concept to you long and hard. You interact with their content. You don't create content.


Believe it or not, even though you are desperately trying to have a "different/alternative/edgy" opinion, you're still wrong.
