Simply put my reason is the good friendships I've developed over the years. I've shared many fond memories and awesome fights, triumphs, losses, risks and keep coming back for more.

Maybe it's because I've surrounded myself in the past and now with good peeps but hey it's always nice having someones back whom you consider a friend.

How about you guys? Cool

I still need to kill the space dragon to unlock the last achievement.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

The variety of weapons...

Most other Submarine simulators are restricted to Torpedoes for some reason. Sad

Because it's the only game where you can truly do what you want.

And if you possess the skill, intellect, awareness, patience, or charisma, no one can stop you.

You find one thing you're good at, one strength that defines who you are, and you've found yourself a place in eve.

I like the good fights and I like that people here don't get too attached. I tend to have problems online with people getting clingy and emotional with me and I really hate that, but I don't have that problem in Eve, so I really like that.

Oh god.

For me it's #1 spaceships. I love the sci-fi genera... and I love spaceships... just the concept of them. Right now EvE has the best spaceships in a game. I foresee a time when that may change, but until that happens: one shard? We all play the SAME game? Best game there is. I haven't been particularly active of late, but for me if there is some virtual space s*** going down, it only matters in EvE. #2 is the single shard itself. You stand in this game as an individual against a lot of people... but nothing about your RL reality matters save what you can make happen here. Best chess game ever.

So that's why. It's one universe. One arena. If you "win" a game of EvE you really did something. It's real. No excuses.

There are a lot of different ways to play this game, but one of the best ways to play it is with other cool people. Hanging out by yourself in hisec, autistically missioning or mining has to be soul destroying.

Find a group, get on comms, and do cool stuff together. This is an amazing game, and Eve history is being made. And it's not by the guy rescuing Damsels or PvPing Veldspar.

Yeah, I like that too. All players being on the server makes things a lot more interesting.

No one can "come back" to Eve because you never left. If you think you did, its a self-deception :D

For me simply because this is a different MMO that make a challenge to my personality and I like to keep on with it until I fix myself
Other reason is because it is player-driven game, someone in the far end of the galaxy can make something I'll see its effect in my other end system
Fights, teamwork, team fleets and variety of ways to live in it

I love how you begin as a total noob, make all the noob mistakes, learn, become less of a noob and stop understanding why other people are making such utter noob mistakes.

I also very much love that the people who at one point are your worst enemies ( war decced and stuff ), turn out to be the nicest most helpful people in the game.

Also, the duality of the game.
I love that you can just spy and steal things and i hate that people can just spy on you and steal things.
I love how you can form up a blob and whack anything and i hate when a blob attacks me and leaves me with no chance.


This game is just great, the fact that it's in space with cool graphics makes it just that much better.

EVE doesn't have competition, damning praise right there.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

When i play EvE, i dont buy other games. Most other games are crap, so i always buy new games.
Playing eve with 2 accounts is much more cheaper then not playing EvE for me.

Have a nice day
