EVE Online

[Kyonye]

So I decided to do the 14 day trial. They don't really limit you on too much. The game is incredibly in-depth. The universe is huge. I'm not sure if I would pay for this past the 14 day trial, but it's a very neat game.

EVE is the most unique MMO ever created, more than anything it's an economic MMO I find.

I've given EVE about 4 chances now but I always seem to get burnt out after a week and not know what to do next. The consequences for losing your ship suck because when it's blown up its gone and you need to buy and outfit a new one.

For me the time investment is to great - it's just so hard to have fun.. haha.

It seems a very demanding game. I don't really have the hours to put into it, and that's why I don't want to pay for it. Why pay to perform business transactions, in a game, when I get paid to perform business transactions in reality?

:lol: Yea

It seems more like a job to me than anything. I hear that PVP can be a blast but I just can't get past the fact of how long it takes you to recover once that happens. Everyone says fly what you can afford to lose, which I did.. but still I felt like it took far to long to get reoutfitted and get back on the battlefield.

Most of my PVP consisted of my near instant death even though I was in a fleet.

Me? I just want to fly in space and blow shit up, hopefully Jumpgate Evo or STO give me that

I've always indulged in the economy of MMO's. Granted I haven't really played that many. But, I have a full time job, I keep in shape (given the status of my knee). Once my knee is back to full strength, I won't have to turn down commercial stunt jobs, anymore. And getting paid to do flips, and jump off 1 story buildings is so much more fun that making fake money in a game.

I'll play out the 14 days, and at the end just give all my shit to someone. It'll make them happy and my stuff won't go to waste.

I played the trial. I loved the idea of being a pirate or some high up dude in some heavy corporation, or playing huge space battles that would have star wars running for its money.


Again, the idea is what I loved. The work? Nah, not so much.



Suppose though if you played that game enough and froze yourself for a couple thousand years you'd fit right at home when you get out....

The idea of Eve is better than what Eve actually ended up being.

:lol:

Never heard it put that way before that actually describes it pretty well.

I think a game like Eve on paper would be so awesome as long as the game play itself wasn't utterly boring.
