I wouldn't bother sending various people stuff, I'd just biomass and that would be that.

I knew a guy who left 80 billion isk in his wallet and left the game.

Now a days, Work keeps me so busy that I end up barely even getting enough time to volunteer.

I spend more time Volunteering then I do on my Actual player accounts, but Im still around!

For one thing is certain...

Jobs come and go, new careers start up, sometimes you return to an old one... Maybe no career at all.

But EVE will be there, always waiting to greet you at the door with a cookie... and a punch to the gut to remind you to never leave her again.

And to take out the trash.

[Kenobi voice] Hello there.

I actually "have" quit EVE, although by no means did I want to.

I (as another PC) was in a great PVP corp, was learning the ropes, had good interactions on coms, and really enjoy the game. That character wanted a bit of independence, so left the corp but still wanted to ally with them and continue learning. This didn't go down too well apparently. Then killed off first character (bad mistake I guess) and proceeded to attempt to join several other corps, got called "spai" a lot, got a bit jaded from lack of social contact in-game and the jaded nature of interactions.

Then in RL crisis hit, my gaming comp died and I became homeless. I'm back on my feet (and a bed) now, but currently stuck with a potato comp which can't play EVE.

If I end up "quit" forever (getting a good comp will take some time, rebooting account/skill queue etc even more) I think I'd PM an old corp buddy or two and see if they'd like some donated space junk and iskies.

I only post here if EvE is offline. Which means my posts are never well timed.

EAT KRABSAK.

- If you made freinds just give your stuff to them.
- If you think if was important to help new players spend to the Magic School Bus and newbie freindly Alliances.
- If you want to go out in a great ball of fire and want people to remember go down in a blingy Titan.
- If you want to punish someone before you leave use all your assets to hire some mercs. If I go I will take you with me style.

I'd do what i did 6 months ago, jump back into my own corp and sink the majority of my liquid isk into plex and wait until the innevitible pull of Eve returning while playing skill queue online.

Been thinking of returning again the last few months which i knew i would as this is the 3rd time in 9yrs ive had a break, so about to start looking for a WH corp that fits my playtime and outlook.

If I were truly quitting and never coming back, not ever, never ever ever, I'd trash it all because **** you guys. Get your own stuff.

Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you. Also, iderno

Quitting because you're angry or disillusioned with the game is different than feeling it's become an impediment to your life. But I wouldn't biomass. I can't think of any bridges I've burned that I didn't eventually regret.

Biomassing feels like rage-quitting to me. Like when I smoked -- in the morning I'd decide cigarettes were out of control and I'd crush the pack and throw them away. That night I'd be digging through the trash hoping one might be salvageable. When I finally quit for good it was because I found a better reason to not smoke than the enjoyment I got from smoking.


TL;DR: I'd liquefy most of my assets. Give parting gifts to players or groups I care about. Maybe pull off one ridiculously expensive stunt. And leave plenty of startup funds in case my life changed in the future and I had time and desire for Eve again.

Most importantly I'd like to leave with something that feels good rather than bitter.


P.S. OP: Best of luck with the new chapter in your life!

Yeah, capsuleer, we are going to give it to you! We are going to go for miles, if you know what I mean!
Oh, you meant ISK or other valuables... OK, then disregard my previous line. Move along, nothing to see here!

Go to Jita buy all the shuttles for sale, cram them into a ship, then fly around the system ejecting all the shuttles I renamed "Boot.ini" in random spots spreading the love :)
