Restart. Abandoned all my previous toons and created a new character. I am pretty much roleplaying her life in the game, and out of game writing it down as a story. Surprisingly, it has been very interesting and has kept the passion alive, sparking my creativity that I thought I lost so long ago.

It hasn't been difficult since I have always been a solo player since 2013. Flying with others is fun only for so long before I get that urge to leave and strike out on my own once again. Have done it with my main so many times that I have left friends behind that I no longer communicate with.

Hence why I don't make new ones...

I discovered that there's a whole meta world going on out there that I never knew about. Bloggers, podcasts, news channels-- people writing about people and things going on that I didn't even know existed. EVE Total! Detailed and insightful stuff, and it's not at all just null SOV wars news, and a lot of it sounds really fun. Someday I'll break my old habits and go check at least one thing out.

Sounds like you just either A) need to take a small break for a bit and play another game (Eve is easy to burn out on) or B) switch your current corp/alliance up and change things around. Go join a corp in an area of space doing something you haven't done before or have not done in a long time. You would be surprised at how much that could change up your game and make you interested again.

If you get bored try something new.

I played for five years before I tried building ships, it's actually interesting for a while when you see
an oportunity and the market demand and then you build and haul and earn errmmm millions.
The isk/h is nothing compared to wormhole sites or Incursions but who cares if it's fun.
I still haven't tried the hacking minigame or lvl 4 missions or epic arcs as I'm saving the best for the last.

Tbh all the stuff I've seen my corpmates do over the years is something that would take me years to try it all.
Gotta try somepoint the thing where you convo someone who got ganked and offer a merc job,
get the killright and afterwards show the killmail and get paid something ridiculously low.

I'm really happy that I've written AARs and frapsed so I can relive the good times when I'm old.

If all fails teach a newbro before you quit Eve.

Set yourself objectives and go for it.

Recently I had the following: Build an Astrahus - done, war dec someone to get POCO tax reduced - done, then had a 1v1 with a ship I knew I would lose to because I could.

Now I am playing around with PI in low sec and every so often I try to save freighters as part of AG, it is amusing watching the gankers telling me how fail we are for failing to save the freighter when it is pretty damn difficult to do so, every time they say that in local I get a buzz.

My next objective is to go after a certain entity by allying on war decs.



That reminds me of this one incident. There was someone in the the local LS I used to hang that I have fought against a few times, and most of the time he was solo while I had at least a few corp mates with me, so I think I did get a few kills on him. From what I've seen he didn't do much PVP, usually running sites and doing PVE.

Then one day I was messing about solo, and found a helpless Hulk (not even a Skiff) solo mining in LS with this other guy in local. I tackled the Hulk, and started chewing through the shield & armor, no problem. Then suddenly, this guy uncloaks his falcon when I got down to the Hulks hull, and jams me to oblivion.

The hulk gets away and the Falcon dude also run away after the Hulk escaped safely, thanking him in local. He didn't even have a point on me or back up to come and counter gank me. All he wanted to do was to make me fail ganking a miner, which was actually more lol than being baited and losing my ship.

Well played heh.

Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!
