When you see a good screenshot or video, you try to pan the camera as if u were actually in the game.

You hear the music in your sleep.

You have memorised the dmg types to use and shield set up for every faction in eve. Whats more you recognise the different types of turrets they use by looking at their ship.

You have more alts than RL friends.

You begin to suspecy everyone is out to get you.

You know you play to much EVE if someone hands you a contract...

And you read it.

You wake up in the middle of a meeting screaming "shoot the ******* primary"

-OR-

You realize that if you RMT your ISK you'd have more money then what's in your savings acct..

When you put a scheme to "double your dollars" and wonder why you end up in jail for fraud.

You know you play too much Eve if your mom's basement looks like the batcave and Aurora is saying in four dozen glorious simultaneous voices (plus or minus 30ms), "Warp drive active!"

You know you play too much EVE when you worry about gate-campers when you get on the metro.

I definately am more paranoid now than when I started playing eve.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Funny you mention this.


I was looking at some firearm parts and general reloading equipment and seeing very huge price ranges. For example a melting pot for lead (for casting bullets) can cost from $30 US to over $300 US.

Whenever I see price ranged like that for "stuff", I start thinking of Meta levels. So I am looking at the catalog yesterday and thinking "so that thirty dollar pot is meta 0 and that three hundred dollar pot must be at least meta 9...".


It's starting to become a habit.

Begin? I always suspect everyone is out to get me. Especially in real life. Maybe that explains why people claim I'm not very sociable...

And that's a bad thing?

On-topic:

You know you've played too much EVE when you go to a recycling center, expecting to find a Minmatar Ship.

You've played too much EVE when you take the train and refer to the stations as "Jumps".

That's just common sense.

In my days with T-Mobile, I had a lady that interrupted my reading of the celphone upgrade contract with 'whatever you're saying, I agree to it, I don't need to hear the contract'.

I stopped reading at that point, thanked her very much, completed the order as requested, and then noted on the account that the customer had 'accepted any and all terms of the contract by stating verbally 'Whatever you say, I agree to it' ". The contract could have said, 'I agree to wear a rainbow trout on my head for thirty days', and legally she'd be bound to that agreement.

Anyway....

You know you play too much EvE when.....

You inadvertantly refer to your antidepressant medication as 'Vitoc' one day and don't understand why your signifigant other is giving you a funny look.

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....

You wake up and the first thing you think is "where did i park my ferox"

Those who wish to end War wish to end what it means to be human. Those who advocate War do not know its power. Yet Those who learn from War will be remembered for all time.

The vending machine takes your money and you write it off to getting ganked and move on with your life rather than get mad about it.

Maybe I'm too much into the RP and backstory, but that's friggin scary! Shocked

When you're driving on the road and you get nervous if you see something with "Concord" on it and think that there are cops nearby.
