EVE General Discussion

Give to Chribba, in an transaction where you clearly mark it 'please forward to next Plex for Good Drive'.

Donate to the AG leaders so they can supply freighter bumper or wreck ganking Talos's to people prepared to do this, as they do not get any ISK for doing this and the line members do not have the means either, so that the gankers have a challenge and will cry a lot. Sorry to see you go and glad to hear you are largely recovered from your injuries.

Hell I appreciate your posting, you are only allowed to leave when the game shuts down!!!!!!

Damn, he has seen trough me. I was prepared to give him back most stuff to fuel his addiction when his sense returned.

I should refine my technique until it becomes more subtle.

First of all, thank you for your service.

EVE Online is like the company.
Once you offered them your services for a fee,
they will come back for your services whenever they see fit.,
even after you quit.

Also, nobody quits EVE. People log off and come back later even if it takes a while.

Throw a party!

Each Christmas/New Year's I throw a party in my original starter system. Fireworks, snowballs. I do it every night until I run out of supplies. Somewhere between 4 and 7 nights, usually.

New players come out, ask questions, enjoy the show. They engage with another player, or players if there is a crowd watching, and learn there are other ways of enjoying EVE besides mining or industry or shootouts or exploration.

I know Rupee Rue usually has a variation of this in Dodixie with a ship, so pilots can get a killmail, over the holidays.

So, have a party! With your funds, you could have a party to end all parties. Fund fabulous party favors, for all attending. Talk with the guys who show up to participate and relive your memories, the good and the bad.

Tell your story.....one last time.

I never quit permanently so I keep my stuff. But I like to make it rain isk for random new bros I help once in a while with 10-50 mil stipends to help them get a foot hold.

A long time ago in a system far, far away I was seriously tempted to biomass this char.
Hopefully, one corp member (SpoonBender79) said: STOP you fool. You will regret it.
And I certainly would.
Because now, whenever I need to get my EvE fix I resub and log in. Sometimes for week, sometimes for months.
Click and and I am back. With all my skills, ships and ISK.
Otherwise I would need to grind all crappy things again.
So, if you have urge to stop playing or delete your char, just log off for some time.
Because noone will care if you quit or ragequit. Noone will notice if you self-destruct into supernova with your super,
after reprocessing all your stuff.
If you ever cared about EvE - you will be back.
If you not - you wouldn't ask this question :)

I too wonder if I would want to return, I guess biomassing takes away the temptation to some degree, can you imagine having to start again.

I think I would donate all my ISK and assets to various causes, maybea chunk to "the magic school bus", the rest amongst people that help new people in game. I may even contact someone to organise an event like destroy a capital ship, I cannot fly one so I would have to get someone else to do it.

Leave them as they are. I've taken breaks and thought I wasn't going to play anymore. Then a year or so later I'm back to some degree. I'm not the type to rage quit... so sans rage I don't know why I'd get rid of anything.
