so if anyone got similar experience please share how did you manage to escape.


Do you want to leave the game forever? Pay your subscription with Paypal and call back the payment.

One of my friends quit EVE and forgot that his account was on autorenewal (those were the times...) so after several months without login in he saw a strange movement on his Paypal card and called back the payment. That was his subscription renewal, and after calling back the payment CCP permabanned his ass so fast that the news already have made it past the far reach of visible universe... Bear

The problem is. It is easy to pavk up your stuf sell it to buy orders etc. Sell your toon or give it to tje friend.

But, it's became really easy to start again. Increased basic SP level of entry, skill injectors plus having all the previous background allows me easilly gain constant income, join group of people united same goals etc.

Damn it is hard step...

You can call back payment if you paid for your subscriptions through paypal? How does that work?

If I can get my money back from that ridiculous mistake I made when resubbing right before that 2nd Devblog got posted, I'll gladly accept permabandom.

Dear Jane Airr, please by all means, do not quit! Just remember every time every minute you're playing the game, outside somewhere is someone doing something meaningful, something to move the wheels of history, something making tens of millions of dollars a month, something to help their family get ahead in the world, something to aid the world and themselves with it. And you, you are doing nothing, absolutely nothing but playing a semi-decent video game.

That being said, I come back to this game every time my real life business AND/OR love life goes into a slump. If you're having trouble getting out of loser-land, it's because you truly belong.

Exact opposite here, if i have irl hassle i drop spaecships like a hot poo, don't even think of it.
People who log in to avoid life, to derive a sense of superiority, who log in because this is the only environment where they have what it takes....i can't relate.
I log in to relax, the day is done i have an hour or three to mess pixels around.
OP, work out why you play. It could be it's like a catchy song with no resolution that sticks in your head like a jingle. You can resolve a tune in your head as well as any other circular behaviour by building up to some big release.
Self-destructing a freighter full of corpses might do it. Or dismantling / creating something big.
When you stop doing something you don't want to do and don't enjoy, you're not really stopping something, you're starting something else.
Good luck, addictions are rubbish.

Haven't escaped yet, but you could try to program your PC to redirect you elsewhere when you try to launch the game.

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

Like a ghost, you have unfinished business in this domain, therefore you linger.

Find out what that unfinished business is, an unreached goal perhaps? Maybe there is someone you have to kill, or a collective of people you have to rob blind.

Once you have completed your business here, you will be free to go towards the light.

Damn straight, PS. Just a side note, but such a lingering spirit is called a jiba kurei ("bound + ghost") in Japan. The idea behind it is identical to the idea behind the occidental ghost. Odd, eh?

My unfinished business keeping me jiba here is the forums and the community. Even when in Eve burnout and happily not logging in for weeks, I have to resub for the forums, and to see what's going to happen next in the EVE Online endless soap opera. Can't be arsed to change channels and follow Reddit though, so I somewhat more free to go toward the light. Smile

I was fully addicted to EvE for the last 6 years and then last summer my laptop broke. TL:DR I had to wait about 3 months before my laptop was repaired. That meant for the first few weeks I was literally suffering withdrawls and bored out of my mind since EvE was so ingrained in my daily schedule. Then a few more weeks passed and I stopped craving EvE so much. Once I finally got my laptop back, I waited a few days to reinstall EvE. The desire and drive to play was pretty much gone. If I hadn't reinstalled the game I would have completely stopped, and hell, even then after I reinstalled the game has never really hooked me like it did before. Now I go a few days to a week of not logging in and I'm perfectly fine with that.

The point is, if you remove the ability to give yourself a chance to play you may find it'll give you the chance to finally walk away, or like in my case, it'll allow you to play on a healthier basis.

Been back and forth for 10 years.

I've spent the last year sober(read: quit drinking), and that was easier than quitting Eve. Really, I think I play more now.
