It has helped me IRL by making me spend more time with people who can provide me the entertainment EVE so clearly lacks. Boring game is boring. |

It's EVE not EvE or E.v.E. A small thing, but that drives me nuts.
Anyway, as others have mentioned: spreadsheets, patience, and getting good at ignoring people. |

The kid seemed to enjoy it, and my friend ended up inviting his son to his corp to run missions with him. In one such mission, my friend AWOXed his own child and destroyed his officer-fit Rattlesnake. Immediately after he podded him, Manu told him "This is what the world is like. Never forget this feeling." The kid quit E.v.E. immediately after that, but I'm guessing he'll enter the 4th grade with a new skepticism that will better allow him to navigate the perils of this world.
Anyways, regale us with your own stories!

Besides using up all of my time and causing me to burn my bacon just now ... I figured out how to link data between Excel pages! And I know how an economy works (Allowing me to see how deep in the hole the US is ) And I found how douchy people can be IRL "Your security status has been lowered." - Hell yeah it was! |

Currently it's helping me to be patient, and refrain from rage filled outbursts concerning frequent, unscheduled game outages. |

There is that analogy about time management, where first you fill a jar with rocks, then sand, then water. EVE has been that water, but it can scale to act as the sand.
The notable thing about EVE is the game client and the forums are interchangeable as content generators.
By always being there for me, it has also kept me from countless bad ideas. So I guess it is a neutral idea.
Please do something about client drops, CCP. I hate being without a reason to not do homework. President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub | Rainfleet on Twitch | Twitter | Rainfleet mk.III | Imgur |

Why would you label someone as a psychopath just because they are playing a game and lured someone to their death according to the games design? You need to take a few steps back and realize that reality isn't inside a screen :I
And you need to realize that this was a father doing this to his pre-teen son to "teach him a lesson" after he set the kid up in the game to begin with. If you think this was a good way to go about doing that, I feel sorry for whatever children you may bring into the world.
I'm betting the kid did learn a couple of things though:
"My dad, what an asshat"

What have I learned from Eve?
1. It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. 2. Read contracts at least three times. 3. Read contracts again after that. 4. People will take advantage of stupidity. 5. Darwinism doesn't just apply to genetics. 6. The creativity of people when it comes to naming characters seems pretty limited in most cases. I weep for any children that DARTH_XXX_13456_XXX might have.
But I think the greatest lesson I have learned is this:
Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid. A bitter vet trying to start anew. |

Everything in EVE is a trap. And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:) You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

eve has also taught me how to pick up at the supermarket,
what i do is approach them quietly, them when they are getting a little nervous, i reach over and take something out of their basket and place it in my own, i then circle them slowly waiting for them to react.
