The onus is on you to find like minded pilots and group with them. When I played I was a gun for hire in a corporation designed for that role. Each week I was either playing the part of pirate or defending others from them. We had a simple code of "Honour thy ISK" It didn't matter where it was coming from our employer one week was our enemy the next after small bidding wars between industrial corporations broke out. We protected our own and always upheld our end of the bargain... Made the game truly unique. |

I've never played EVE, but articles about it always prove to be interesting. Good stuff.

I dont understand why people say eve is a "second life" or "second job" any more than any other MMO is.
I am not even playing EvE at the minute, yet my character is still progressing as stats improve passively even when you are logged out. You can spend as little time on it as you want (in my case anyway) |

Yup, people saying that EVE is like a second job kept me from giving it a try for a very long time. Now that I'm a subscriber going on 7 months, I can honestly say I've never played anything this relaxing. If I don't fell like playing a lot actively, I train a long skill, if I am craving EVE I train smaller support skills and stay online for hours.

Excellent read, sir. Keep these little snippets of life in Eve coming if you can! I haven't been active in Eve for a long time but it leaves its mark on me to this day, the only MMO I have any lasting interest in.

If they offered a one off life time payment sub, I'd might be willing.

@ Errol
At least CCP has been working hard lately on reducing it. Replacing their server computers with SPC's and from what i've heard it has gotten a lot better already even though they haven't finished implementing it yet. Unfortunately i haven't been able to get into eve, never gotten past the 2 week trial. Gona give it another go when the expansion hits.

Ah, this brings back fond memories.
I was a member of a corp and alliance that lived in PC9-AY (years ago this was, and Syndicate was always an interesting place). Think my main character is still docked there. I saw the game from beta through to the first carriers showing up and was lucky enough to meet some good people on there which made the game for me. You find a good corp where every one can have a laugh over chat and look out for each other then the game gives massive rewards. Sadly just have too much going on in real life to go back (girlfriend refuses to even look at it, she knows she'll get hooked). |

When I read things like this about eve online they always make me want to resub immediatly. I played eve a bit in the beta and resubbed for a month or two a few years back. But my experience then was always the same: sitting in front of a big rock firing lasers into it. I'd really love to play the EVE described here, but it always seems like you HAVE to do the boring stuff to get to a point where you can have fun.

Jiveguy - in no circumstances do you need to mine. You can if you want to, and I did for a little bit (maybe 4 hours total), but am now in the thick of it in Curse, catch and Provi. Was there for the recent 700+ pilot battle as NC tried to move in, BoB and -A- were there to engage!
It wasn't as laggy as expected either.
