I still remember the day I got EVE and I was so excited that i missed my Final Physics Exams. Ive been waiting for this game since long. Now i m so adicted that i even reach dinner table with my parents. But these days i m tryign to make a schedule like 15 hours for EVE and rest for real world. Amy

Good intelligent post. Thanks, Anya.
I certainly feel the pull and at 10-14 hours a wekk I'm probably on the cusp of a problem (-: Though I am out with mates 3-4 times a week if, as Bogus said, I'm in on my own then I have a smoke & play eve. I'd certainly rather do that than watch TV. And it is social, in a sense. I've met plenty of good people in space.
Hey, at least it's not chemical addictive, only habit forming! |

I think this game was devised by the devil himself and CCP are his dark minions....
I play 2-4 hrs a day - as i live alone this is ok, like they say better than watchin TV.... but it is the ammount of headspace this game takes up that is the frightening thing.
I think about it all day at work, trawling through the forums. I went on holiday for a week and had withdrawls....lying by a pool in beautiful weather with my girlie and i'm thinking about how fast my cruiser will go once i've upgraded my skills. That is seriously wrong.
My health is also suffering..... i sit in the same position for hrs staring at the screen, i'll get deep vein thrombosis if i'm not careful. The worst part is that its all my own fault.... I just love this game way too much.
I've been playin games since Atari pong and all formats since and i've never known anything in the games market as addictive (long term) as EVE.
I'm lucky i live alone and have plenty of spare time..... Anya i wish u luck with your brave decision... The fortunes of war, i'll tell you plain, is a wooden leg or a golden chain. |

Does logging on and setting training and not playing count? I could do that for a month.........maybe.

Edited by: Ilyana on 25/07/2003 12:20:11 Well have to admit it as well...no other game since the original Elite had this much of a pulling power on me (well maybe except for Midwinter, if anyone can remember that one). I remember wasting a summer on Elite..
Also this is the first MMORPG I really sank my teeth into (having been in beta since January as well) and if you're not careful, you're going to be addicted. Now I can understand why it's treated as a real addiction.
Luckily I can switch off whenever I want to, but there are times....when I'm at work or doing other stuff, I'm doing other stuff tho, no Eve thoughts. I'm still a little sane at least.

I hate the fact i totally relate to everything the guy listed...
its the temper swings when someone interupts u by bringing you food that really makes you wonder.
Finding yourself having the most vivid dreams at night about fleet battles and being chased through systems too. i know im not the only one to have those :P but seriously, ive been a gamer for over 15 years and i find myself in a pretty tight hole regarding EVE, yea ive spent 7 days solid completing splintercell but that had an ending and i did have several days spare to play it, but eve is another story all together. At times i find its 23:00 and it seems like minutes since i logged on, only to find my GF giving me all sorts of abuse for not talking to her for the past 5 hours.
I want to drop this game for my family but i honestly hold my hands up and say , "**** i cant cause my corp needs me"
Thanks to the original post though for showing me that it really does exist and for a genuine reason to quit.
