So there I was sitting in one of my first visits to low sec, cloaked, with about 2 mil in my hold(a not insignificant amount for someone that has not been playing that long) when I see a neutral jump on screen. I freeze and look at the toon's info. Of course, he is wanted and probably would blow me out of the sky if he knew I was there.
I felt so...small. And that is when I realized why I love this game. So many mmo's make you out to be this grand hero who is "the one" to save the world from "CERTAIN DOOM!!!!" and those games could never hold my interest for very long because I always knew there were millions of other "the one's" doing the exact same thing I am doing.
By being an average joe, I, in a way, feel more important than in any other MMO I have played. So far, my game experience I mostly find things. But I find things people need. The things I find are useful. I help the universe function. Yet I am not vital. But I am connected, always connected to the pulse of the universe.
No other MMO has ever done that for me. |

Risks make it fun for me too! The higher the risk, the greater reward I feel in terms of excitement. Sometimes, Ill load up a Mark V instead of a blockade runner etc, and go the 14 jumps with hundreds of millions in the hold, just because its so damn exhilarating! (not on this character, so nobody bother with the locator lol) |

Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

When I started Eve, I liked the real economy. Some people harvested resources to build stuff. Other people used the stuff to PVP, blowing up stuff, creating a market for other new stuff for players to harvest resources to build.
I liked (and still to like) that Eve accommodates a wide variety of play styles. Whether you're a teen aged guy that just wants to jump in a ship and blow up other ships in meaningless combat (RvB style), or you are a casual carebear that just wants to empty a few asteroid belts into the corp's orca, or you want to build a 100,000 member mega coalition that dominates null sov warefare, or wander around solo or small gang, hunting for targets of opportunity, or just want to sit in station modifying hundreds of buy and sell orders, or faction war, or high sec war, or mercenary corp for hire, or try to dominate high sec mining through suicide ganks, or mission running, or exploration, or running sanctums in your carrier in null, or create a jump freighter logistics service to null, or....
What I like about Eve is that you can do so many different things.
Pretty much any play style can find a place in Eve. |

Damn folks I think we have a keeper. OP I like your story, I like the way you present it and even more I like that you get out and experience what there is to see and do in this game. Stick around and I promise someday you will be a vet and some new player will be looking at you and shaking in their boots simply because you are in the same system with them. |

I know a 14 year-old pilot who has contributed more to the shaping of New Eden than most of the oldest players I know. Age is not a value factor. And no, you didn't say it, but you implied it.

I tried other MMOs, but they were soooo boring. I would die. and ... Nothing. Just walk back and grind away. Since bad decisions are not rewarded i feel like there is no meaningful game play. Not Eve. Also i was really surprised by how much these games are not massive multiplayer online games... but rather. some other players online games. (phases/shards and PvE content that does not encourage any real interaction.)
Now a few weeks ago, i lost a ship worth about 50% of everything i have ever done in this game..... Bugger. oh and the other day i seriously derpped and lost 2B of my corps isk welping a freighter of fuel into our own pos guns. Yea, stuff you do, or don't has consequences and outcomes.
Death and Glory!
Well fun is also good.

Great post! I've played many MMO's and the only thing it comes close to is Ultima Online, but in space. I mean, the RISK is everything. In other MMOs there is no risk, you leave town and thats that, you go raiding or whatever and you can die a million times and only lose some gold for repairs but thats it. Back during Ultima Online, I remember leaving town and getting killed and losing almost EVERYTHING I had, a brand new Valerite plate suit, some gold, some regents etc. The risk and open worldness in this game is unlike any other game out there currently and I hope it never goes anywhere. |
