I'm fascinated with space. The Universe is breathtaking!

Even if I can't really fly a ship through space (I'd so love a better interface than double clicking to steer my ship) it's still, to me, great fun to be among the stars!

I'd so love to be able to steer my ship towards a star and see what's out there, but I'll settle for Eve! It's not quite what I want in a game, but your question was what keeps me coming back. It's my love of astronomy.

All the world's a stage and all the men and women are the players.

You Miners think you have it so damn tough.  When I first started playing we didnt even have mining lasers.  You had to fly close to an asteroid.....pop a hatch and gnaw at it with your teeth.   - Bitter Vet

About 2years ago I finally came to terms with the fact that children could beat me at FPS games. Sure I could curse better than them but it just was not very rewarding. I tried some different games and even changed my clan. Thought eve might be fun, gave it a try. I have continued to play mainly due to the messed up community. I feel I fit well.

I bought a year subscription for Black Friday. I gotta get my money's worth.

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

Setting yourself up for disappointment.

Edit, that was "possibly" a little cruel.

The fun of making ISK is what fuels me to play :)

What keeps me coming back? Definitely the "Sunk Cost Fallacy"
