Well the question is :''have you tried to quit eve ''.....it's not ''have you succeeded in quitting eve''
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

In before lock!
Like most MMOs Eve cultivates addiction in its players so its hard to quit, like tobacco smoking.
I wanted to quit. Instead I made a good investment which pays off a PLEX a month and now I just take the **** on the forums instead of actually 'playing' the game. Much more fun.

Once I got a taste for PVP, I was hooked. I'm here until the game shuts down.
I'm so addicted that now when I see green street lights I think "Ah crap my safety is on again" and when I see blinking red lights I think "BLINKYRED OVERHEAT ALL THE THINGS LASERS GO NAOW!" |

This reeks of a "I'm 400 lbs and I can't stop eating, has anyone else here ever tried to stop eating?" thread. Those who have TRIED to quit, aren't here anymore, aside from the forum junkies. If you're still here, you haven't exactly tried to quit, you just gave it some thought, then changed your mind. We all know how to quit, we just don't try to do it, those of us that still play, because we don't like the thought of giving all our stuff away and deleting our characters. When you quit a job, you clean out your desk, give up your office, your parking space, etc. You don't leave it all there, and say "Well, I'm quitting, but I'm gonna leave everything here still, just incase!" That's not quitting, nor trying to. |

Leaving an MMO isnt just a matter of deleting some info, you don't actually own that info and it is not your option to destroy it.
It sounds like you have never spent time dreaming when you should have been: doing laundry, emptying the dishwasher, washing the car, vacuuming, cleaning the loo, getting checks sent off to pay bills, writing thankyou letters, getting to sleep because tomorrow is a big day. If that's the case then this thread is none of your concern and you really can't contribute anything to it.
But there are people who do not have perfect time management skills or focus, those difficulties are compounded by very engaging alternate activities. Whether it be cooking, art, reading, movies, moneymaking, philosophy, or stamp collecting.
This thread is just a check to see how Eve fits into those categories and how people make things work.

I've never "quit" in the sense that I've never really stopped playing of my own accord. I did put my accounts on hold last year when I was saving for my wedding (and for some reason that $30 a month had to go according to she who must be obeyed). However that whole time I kept up with current events in Eve and missed the summer of rage (which would have made me quit anyway). Came back in the middle of last year and like the direction Eve is going now so wild horses couldn't pull me away. |

~217 =/- a few from week to week. 6'0" as weight wouldn't mean much without height. |

I've only been playing for about a year and half but I enjoy this game immensely and don't see myself giving up any time soon. Quitting EVE like someone stated would be comparable to quitting smoking. You may say, "hey, I'm done." But you'll always have that little devil tapping on your shoulder.
Even though I haven't tried to quit EVE, I know the feeling of giving up on an MMO. I played WoW since Vanilla and only gave in about a month before I found EVE and I still get that urge to go back and kill cartoony creatures. I haven't yet gave in because I am running 2 accounts here and don't feel the need to pay another $15 a month on an inferior game. |

I quit for a year because of RL. I had a time hole so I resubbed.
FYI: If you biomass a character I've heard you can petition to get it back. You might lose your name though if someone else uses it while you are gone. |

My interest in Eve waxes and wanes- the beauty of the time based skill system, during times where my interest wanes I keep training and usually have something new to try when I get back into it.
Can't quit Eve yet, as it's still utterly unique among MMO's. But the bittervet in me also thinks CCP is bound and determined to turn this game into space WOW. There are a couple very specific things I love about this game, and the moment CCP finally wrecks those, Eve will be as easy to put down as anything else. |

I didn't quit Eve, Eve quit me. Seriously. My computer was so old that eventually I could not run Eve any more. Plus my video card wouldn't support the new graphics set and was I told to go away and get something better. |

I've "quit" several times, put "my stuff" into storage with an Alt and then sold off characters. Depending on how far from civilization I was, and what the Internet connection was (satellite link) or was not like, such was life on oil rigs in the high Arctic.
Think of it as NULL SEC, except surrounded by meters-deep snow and no sunlight for 4 months at a time.

i have been playing EVE for 4 yrs now.. I uninstalled it 3 days ago for like the 200th time. Now downloading and reinstalling..again.
There is nothing that can describe this other than just sick addiction. I started playing in Empyrean Age and have invested thousands of hours and dollars in this sinkhole. CCP owns me. I have no mouth and I must scream |

This game is just so passive that when I quit it's more of switching to skill queing while I play other games then coming back to fly the new ships I trained into. <corrupt> |

We were 450 kms from civilisation.. this lady was one of the most horrendous examples of the female form you would ever see. Big bushy mustache, pockmarked troll like face, snaggletoothed, straw hair, drooled a bit im sure. Swore worse than us. But she had HUGE ****.
So. You know how it is.... 2-3 months in the bush and anything starts looking good. Multiple guys on lease were hitting on her. It was pretty horrifying.

I quit once, and then the very nice people from CCP came and we had a nice "chat" about my subscription.
And i can walk quite well with out my crutches now, the doctors are positive on a full recovery. Thanks to CCP having my card details i never have to worry about quitting again, thank you CCP for teaching me the error of my ways... |
