I find myself with no direction or clear goals in EVE. I have been playing EVE for about 2 years. I did exploration for a few months and that was ok. I ran missions. (boring) Joined a low sec corp. (ok too but still kind of boring) Moved out to Null for a month. (Null sec sucked pretty bad imho) My sub will run out in ~25 days and even though i have several billion ISK i can't think of a good reason to log in and buy a plex.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get some fun out of the game? Perhaps i am just burnt out and should try something else. And to all the can i have your stuff people no you may not. I will just let it sit and rot and hope that at some point there is something fun in the game i want to try again later.

Try wormholes, it brought back the paranoia in me, knowing someone could be hiding, waiting to jump me every time I log in.

Go outside and enjoy the weather. Meet people, make new friends.






Then you will realize that Eve isn't real.

Just about every player in EVE runs into this at some point.
I have been in this game long enough to actually go through it several times.
I only made the mistake of unsubbing once though.

Sandboxes are great cause you can do what you want, the bad part is they give you no direction, you have to decide that yourself.

Best to play something else for a few days while you think about what you want to do next.
One of the reasons I actually want Incarna, with a bunch of little sub games or something different in it.
It would give you a change of pace while you figure out what to do next.
But you can't do that yett so you will have to find a different game for a bit.

YOu have 25 days, so keep up your training and just relax a bit.
Hopefully something will come to you.

I know the feeling... i quit for a while and came back thinking it might bring in a renewed spark, but struggling to find new stuff to do What?

Have you tried pvp? It's one hell of an adrenaline rush (Goon's make good targets.... sorry guys, but you do P )

as for your stuff, no thanks, gave mine all away last time i dropped and you'll regret it if you come back Lol

Wormholes are definitely worth looking into, or if you intend to lose all that isk you could but fancy t3s and go pvp. Big smile

I find the most important factor in EVE is the people you're flying with, no matter what you're doing it's boring with the wrong group of people. Mission running, exploration, pvp, mining, etc... they're all fun when you're on vent with a bunch of crazy people, but not so good alone.

Yeah. Wormholes. Enough said.

Only reason I'm not in a WH now is because I'm busy working on different things that require constant interaction with the "outside" world. But I'll say they are really fun.

Wormholes are a thought. I guess i could look into joining a wormhole corp.

Going outside is always a good option but alas it is just about the time of year here when the snow starts to fly. I am going to need some game to make it through.

Who doesn't love robot chicken?

I will keep training until my time is up. I am currently training Amarr Carriers V on my main i would need to add a plex to have it finish though. Just training some core skills on my Tengu pilot. Mini games would be nice though. I would like a slot machine in my CQ

sometimes you need to take a break. i certainly do. i do regret turning off my account during these breaks - keep training, it'll be helpful.

oh and try w-space, incursions, etc if you haven't.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

I think shes got it right there,

"I find the most important factor in EVE is the people you're flying with"

It seems to me that you need to make some good friends in eve to do activities with, that's when it becomes fun. This is a social game, more so than most are willing to admit.

Take some time off. Or, if something is boring you, find a different way to do it, or find something else to do. That policy works in game as well as out of game.
