Never have I played a single game or done any one thing in particular for this long (other than breath and the related functions with it).
8 years.
within that time: One marriage came (and went) One LTR moved 13 times several jobs
For the game, I've still only seen or experienced at best 30 percent of the content. And IMO there's nothing wrong with that. I don't get to visit every country and do every job in RL either.
Been into science fiction since before I could read, watching STTOS rerun every Saturday at 6PM until they stopped airing them when I turned 18. I had the Spock shirt. A friend had the Captain Kirk shirt.
So all this really is, is a sci-fi fix, for I have not cared for any series since Lexx went off the air in 2002.
I'm not going anywhere, but I hope to see this game expand in the next 8 years into something more than just a game. This has the potential to be a new way to consume science fiction - more than just reading stories or watching movies about it - but to be in it.
Thank you Eve, for being one of the few stable things in life, and for being entertaining and for all the "oh crap" moments that were not necessarily viewed, for my benefit, from the outside in. . I'll never get this game right, but that's not what I'm here for.

I just came back after being gone almost 2 years.
I don't see me staying but I'd say you managed to avoid what I didn't, gratz to you for that.
It's less about bitter, I just let others set the bar for me and it was way too high for the amount of time I was willing to dump in to the game and now most of the game is lost to me. |

Happy birthday
I agree with some of the points, but in terms of player content there's a LOT already there. It doesn't all have to be generated by CCP. TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

A fun but strange show, I didn't enjoy the last couple of seasons, but it was nice to see something original. My lord. |

And I don't know if your last name is one of those randomly generated ones, but it is pretty neat. Herzog isn't a name I've heard before either. .. when everything else is gone .. |

Wolfhammer is a name that goes back to when I was playing the D&D box set (when it was in stores for the first time, this old man must admit). Still got the d10, d20, d4, d8, etc.
Herzog is derived from the game Herzog Zwei - a game I used to play a lot of back in the Sega Genesis days.

Cheers! You've been around ever so slightly longer than I. There is a teeny bit of bitterness with me, but hey no other game seems to come anywhere near close to Eve! Hope to see everyone around here for years to come! You can trust me, I have a monocole |

I discovered EVE *after* getting a divorce. Ironically, it has helped in a way. It certainly helped keep me entertained and mentally awake when all I really felt like doing was crawling into a deep dark bottle! |

I should point out that, depending on whom you talk to, EVE is worse than alcoholism.
Regardless, happy birthday Herzog. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Nonsense. Eve has helped me not completely fail to quit smoking. All those keyboard commands keep my fingers too busy.
Wait... you're right. I've merely replaced one addiction with another.
Yay!...?

Blue was Expert, Red was the Basic
(Brown or White was the original - sadly I still have it)
Anyhoo congrats Herzog from surviving so long |

Oddly, this is the truth for me too. I loved EVERYTHING that was science fictiony when I was a kid. Started playing Battletech when I was 12, loved Robotech/Macross even before that. Used to make my Transformers fight my Go-bots (Transformers always won because Go-Bots were lame), i even still have my very 1st Voltron action figure (Lions, not that vehicle knock off BS lol).
Sci-Fi TV show was on the air anywhere? Watched it. Sci-Fi movie, Ditto. Even went to a few 'Cons; when they would happen anywhere near me.
Now at 40 I still like Sci-fi, but I'm not a fanatic. Even after almost 30 years of being a Battletech fan, I didn't have much desire to play Mechwarrior Online.
I guess my tastes have changed, when I was a kid I liked entertainment that talked about the possibilities of the future, now as a middle aged dude, 'the future' (which includes DEATH, come on Microsoft,Screw XBoxes, hurry up with those 'download your brain here' Boxes!!!) isn't something I spend a lot of time thinking about lol. Well, that's not true, I do sometimes think "man, In the future I hope they make some kick ass nano-bot based ass itch cream, because reading EVE forums makes my ass itch sometimes (lol).
I've considered the idea that EVE satisfies my sci0fi tastes so much that i don't need anything else. It's all and Icelandic Conspiracy. Dinsdale was right! |

Just a quick reply about the theme of your OP:
CCP needs to refocus on building its intellectual property. In the past, they were always very keen to keep everything "in fiction"...even most of the patch notes had flavor baked in. The gameworld was immersive, and compelling, even if you chose to just LOLGANK your way to happiness. You still felt like this was a rewarding gameworld to take part in.
Now, these days that seems to be gone. Everything is about the Meta...the out of game "game". Yes, there are certain groups that are irreverent to any sort of fiction building or IP strengthening story, but this harms the property immensely when CCP actually gets infected with that attitude. My hope, as a player since beta, that CCP can pivot and start re-building one of the great new sci-fi worlds I know it was intended to at the beginning.
But for that to happen, there needs to be a culture change. This much is apparent.
Why are incursions still part of the game story?
Why are there no official events anymore?
Why is the Alliance Tourney treated as an out of game happening? You do realize there is a planet named after the first tourney winner, don't you?
Why are there no more Chronicles, short stories, or other world strengthening fiction? Even if you point to new stuff, you cannot say it is featured by CCP anymore.

You risk bringing out the disgruntled live event junkie in me. Oh I can rant for a week about that matter alone. But I'm waiting for that issue to reach a defining moment (or "come to a head" more likely).

Haha, on that note, I left after a few months of playing back in 2010 to lose my virginity (and because I felt that CCP management was being sketchy, but that was more of an excuse). Now that that's accomplished, I'm back.
On a more serious note though, I like a lot of the improvements they've made. Mining lasers actually look cool instead of that ugly yellow-orange, and the venture makes for a nice startup miner. I remember barely eeking out 500k an hour in my bantam/badger combo. Now I can readily make three times that with just the venture.
I'm also finding myself enjoying the avatar. I was seriously skeptical about walking in stations when they first proposed it, but I really like what they've done with the captain's quarters...and I can't argue with the eye candy. I also like that you no longer have to spend half an hour trying to line each individual probe up just right to get the overlaps to work.
Good stuff! I haven't tried PI again yet though. I imagine it is still the evil daily click fest it used to be when first introduced. |
