That Empty Feeling...

I'm new to EVE, and I've been playing for around 6 months. I usually don't play the same game for more than 6 months, but I like EVE overall. But the issue is, the more I play, the more of an empty feeling I have when I play the game. It doesn't feel like there's more than one person playing at all. So, idk, it just feels... weird... this isn't a rant, but I just feels like EVE gets lonely sometimes. Anyone else get this?

I think I know what your problem might be, but I recommend further study into the matter.

I used to get that before I realized I could put any number of things on my second monitor to keep me occupied.

Or you could...you know...play with other people or something.

I just talk to myself if I can't find anyone else to talk to.

Further studies are complete. Conclusion: EVE is lonely because you aren't even playing it. Ergo, your 'complaint' is just another unconstructive and redundant whine.

I don't get "this" at all because I often hang around in chat channels and gossip with the people there. Also, a little variety during your game sessions goes a long way, be it missions or PvP. A wise man said once: "I want to see well balanced pilots and not mining machines." Plus, you will meet more people that way.

If you have to watch TV while playing the game, then you're doing something wrong!

OP, this game is full of players, all around you. Try interacting with them!

It has only been a few days, yet I was already eager to purchase a 2nd batch of shares. I feel the 3rd batch is not far behind.

You're lucky you feel empty. My meatland schedule has me forced to playing eve in the mornings during weekends. Any other time is just me outside doing STUFF while trolling the forums to relieve the stress. Of course when I log in I just join fleet and blast away anyone. Heck we had fun chasing down a noob LS explorer in an imicus after I decloaked him.

As you can see by the comments in here this is an empty game, played by mindless f'tards.

Maybe you should look at this.

Yeah, we got that, you're butthurt because you have no friends. How is that anyone's problem but yours?

If only I could find 20 systems in a chain full of relic sites stuffed with armor plates and have that lonely feeling!

I can't imagine how sitting by yourself mining in your one man corp could possibly be contributing to this issue.

I think the butthurt is that they have 'Sov' in Catch for 1 frame due to them being silly and buying it from someone who was in the process of losing it already..

No wait that gif starts after they already lost the space they paid for..

Even though in the back of my mind I know theres about 25k other players online, EVE is just that big I don't have to see anyone. But I am a loner in real life anyway. So I like it. If you must join HELP and MINERS channel. Both good sources of endless amusement.

I like the loneliness of space. In space...no one can hear you scream. I scream a lot too. ;)

When I get lonely, I just chat with my friends and do stupid things. When they aren't online... I still have my Fedo. Cool

With Power of 2, you can make your own friends. I make new friends all the time.

Help, I can't download EVE
