I just think throwing around 'hardcore' for a videogame is unwarranted.


Have you ever seen the Korean StarCraft 2 tournaments? They are VERY hardcore. Just because we play a game does not make it not hardcore.


Its pushing buttons in an often A/C controlled room.


Sounds like military intelligence to me.


Oh come on, surely that's a contradiction in terms Big smileBig smileBig smile


But a good point

Eve is the dark haired, totally hot emo gothchild of the gaming community

If the definition of hardcore is getting physical and being in physical danger than multibillion dollar market dealing is not hardcore nor is being the leader of a country or stealing billions of dollars in online market scams. By that definition what is really hardcore is being homeless sleeping on the streets in a ghetto.

I think hardcore is a horrible term to apply to Eve. What Eve is, is unforgiving. It is an intensely rising learning curve that doesn't give you a hug when you lose, and more importantly, relies on you learning from your mistakes. The game would be intolerable without the father and mother figures who allow the lessons of this game to be taught BEFORE the mistakes happen and then who laugh when those mistakes that occur.
Add to the mix the potential scams, the use of trust as a currency that may be revoked at any moment, the bittervets, the PvP that could happen anywhere.

CCP have managed to add a layer of illusion striking fear into players based on this idea that YOU WILL DIE. Without people helping me and holding my hand a few years ago I would have quit, it's exactly why I uninstalled Dark Souls - I was struggling to learn how to beat the game, and got frustrated.


Im living in W Space - and I am loving it, and it's certainly hard work. However as soon as you lose your sense of entitlement and take Eve as it was intended you start to enjoy the ebb and flow of it.

Hardcore? Perhaps not. Intensely satisfying for the amount of work you put into it? Definitely.

Hi guys and gals, I was missing you all.

I'm ashamed of not being that loyal customer I would like to be, and here I am, again, playing the game I love since 2006. This time was a 6 month break and I would like to share what I saw yesterday in MMORPG.com:



Dont be ashamed for this, nothing is wrong with you, fanboying is worse things that may affect a gamer it kiling brain cels and make people fanatic and less opened to other things, long time ago i was fanatic.... im casual now still love EvE but after 7 years i change my view about me and eve it self...

Btw yes, its most hardcore and still love EvE even as casual or somone who somtime log in to swich skills.

If it bleed we can kill it.
