When you are driving a Caterpillar 797 at an open cut mine up a haul road loaded with coal and you would gladly fit some auxillary thruster rigs to it to make it go faster.

You jailbreak your ipod touch/iphone and the first thing you do is look for EVE Online themes (guilty! I have the EVE capacitor as my battery)

I'm guilty of these:

You have a seperate clock on your phone that is set to EVE time

You spent $250 on a Playstation 3 just so you can play DUST

You sign your work email with your EVE name

When you say "Roger" to your boss instead of "ok" (Guilty)

You sit down, turn on your computer, and you've logged in and not realised

uh-oh...


Also, this one is pure BRILLIANT!

Going to try it out.

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

When you sign your workmails with your EVE character name. ( True story )

When you start being too serious at it.

When you can't remember the last time you took a shower

When you can't remember how nice is the sun light

When you can't pay your bills any more

When your internet is down and U get mad

But most probably you know you play eve too much when you smell (if you ever smell yourself or have a mirror)

When you playing EVE too much arises the same level of jealousy from your wife as if you had been cheating on her with a girl named Eve.

When your toddler is pooping their diaper, you refer to it as a "Hot Drop" and treat both events with equal levels of aversion.

When you read the ingredient label on a sports drink and wonder if you are, in fact, drinking coolant.


In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

When you ask your friend how much "RL ISK" they have on them when you two are in a shop.

And your friend doesn't play EVE.

And you get some really awkward looks.

I have no friends who don't play EVE...or PC Gaming in general.

Even my wife is a hardcore gamer. Having a wife who plays games is without a doubt, excellent...
