only game i play, and i plan to be one of if not the last guy out when the lights go off.
EVE is about players and the human condition and experience. I have found no other game where i can play with russians, american,s ozzies, euros, asians, etc on a single sever doing the same things and fighting for he same stuff.
Its that story, all of us together, that make eve compeling and insteresting. The day eve is shardered (china server don;t count but i wish it did not exist) is the day ill bid adue to eve
OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom

Eve to me has been a mixed bag. I found Eve in 2009 after leaving the U.S. Navy. 3 months later I was well into my depression stage and started spiraling. I found myself not wanting to leave the house, I didn't want to see my friends or family, no contact with the outside world. I found Eve, played it for extremely long hours since I didn't have a job. I met great.people who I am still in contact with today. After I started working and had popped from my depression shell, I took to helping run corporations. This later moved into helping start an alliance that failed. It then moved into running the official Eve Corp for one of the biggest U.S. military and veteran gaming communities, Military Gamers. This corporation helped me more than any in dealing with normal life and really helping me throw off the final remnants of regret at leaving the military.
Now I am running a small nullsec alliance along with my military gamers family, and some other friends I've made through the years, and while running an alliance isn't easy, I enjoy the challenge. The challenges are what drive me to continue, and ultimately are why Eve is my main game. Sure I occasionally play some other games, usually with my little brother. I always come back to Eve at the end of the day.
Eve to me has been challenging, fun, therapeutic, and ultimately has changed my life for the better with the support of the great people I have met and friends I have made. I even made an Eve character for my son the day he was born and named it after him! Eve won't be replaced for a long time, and I look forward to years to come and new friends to be made.

I knew I was hooked when I started playing the game in my head. The only other game that's really gotten in to me that way is Minecraft. But Minecraft is largely about what sorts of crazy things I can do by myself, and EVE is largely about how to navigate a dangerous and unknown, but beautiful and profound, landscape with some friends.
I've tried a lot of other MMOs by now. I try them just to see what's up. Not a single one of them has stuck. The only things left in the queue are The Secret World and a revisit to WildStar, and the latter only because I read a blog post on how to shut off the infernal UI and just get around with the minimap, and how that gives you enough information to immerse yourself in the strikingly beautiful game world. As for the rest of it: meh.
Even when I'm not playing EVE, I'm playing EVE. That's amazing to me.

EVE is just one of many games I play. It's a form of relaxation - I get to listen to nice ambient space music while exploring pretty solar systems. I care little for 'good fights' or the meta. I will never take a leadership position because I simply don't care enough to bother. I leave all that crap to others. I have no loyalty to EVE, and I won't 'HTFU' - if it's not fun for me I'll just play something else, simple as that. |

very much swings and roundabouts for me.
i'v played along time, I go through periods where I play alot of eve, then i'll get bored and play something else.
I always check the forums though, keeping myself up to date. I am currently in a period of not playing much at all, but I am sure that will change again in a few months, my isk will still be there when i come back and my skills will continue to grow.
I admit I used to play alot more when my friends did, they have mostly all quit now and I don't enjoy making new friends as I did, however I still talk to the old friends just not in eve anymore, normal RL texts and the likes lol. |

Eve is my primary.
Occasionally I play TF2 when I want to zone out and shoot things without crunching numbers.
On mobile I play analytical games like chess, but also am reading Eve blogs and item descriptions, etc. |

Did plan on making it my main game but it turned into skill queue online and as such I don't often log in and when I do it's just to check on what skills have completed.
Also since I was mainly training for interceptor and it sounds like they just got nerfed, there doesn't seem much point. |

I was as a kid, as a teen, and as a young adult, but now other than a momentary romp every few months to play GTA or Destiny or God of War on my step kids console, I don't care for video games much. I'm not anti-Game, it's just that after 41 years of living I've changed so much that game don't appeal to me like they once did. Well I'm just 5yrs older, been playing videogames since the 70's. Yeah sure, things can change. For me though, it's just been a matter of preference.
Like, I still play shooters, but really only tactical shooters any longer. Not the quick bang-bang stuff, but I like to learn/practice RL tactics. I still kick serious butt in regular FPS, but just gets boring. I play that game that's a version of the tactical sandbox simulator NATO uses, it's pretty deep and with excellent editing tools. MMO's too, playing them for 20yrs, but I need a smart sandbox, in fact that's all I really play any longer are sandbox games, or simulator sandboxes. I'm still a gamer, but I just need to create too. Can't really create in EVE, but it's an mmo sandbox, so makes up for that, just a different type of creation going on o7

What is EvE to me?
It's the place where I can relax and unwind. It's the place where I can hang out and chat with friends. It's the place where I can blow off some steam. It's the place where no one judges you by what you look like, rather by what you do. It has been my home, off and on, for the last decade, and hopefully for many, many years to come.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.
Hello, Mr Carebear. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

To me it's a game with enormous potential which is yet to be reached.
I've been playing eve on and off since 2006, never playing more than 6 months at a time though - I get bored. |

Games let me immerse myself in another world, I don't need to be immersed in another world, the world I live in is freaking awesome. Good for you....

I actually save money playing eve. For 15 euros I got a month worth or wardec grief, err I mean "entertainment" instead of buying crappy new games that are over before I even started playing them. If I was super bored this month I would probably have spent 30+ euros on other games (and no, that's not an invitation to raise the subscription fee) but instead I was playing eve.
I do take brakes however, because it's basically a rinse & repeat game, pay 2 win (pay for alts, multi training etc.) and that just makes me rage sometimes. |

EVE she let's me fly among the stars. she brings me to a place where others who are completely different to me yet the same all work towards our own dreams and hopes within this amazing universe which always has a surprise for us no matter how much you think you know it all.
i've played many games over the years and i mean many games. none have been able to create what EVE is, some come close and all are always fun. but EVE she is someting special.
EVE is Primary. has been for a long time and i can't see that changing any time soon.

Asking if Eve is your primary game on the Eve Online forums is the stupidest thing ever. Go ask this on the League of Legends forums. |

I'm 45, my reaction times never were the best and now they're even worse so I stopped playing competitive FPS and moved on to FPS for old farts (WOT, WT and now WOWS). I play GTA for the story and to train my cynicism gland. I've adopted the "new games will just be terrible because they're new, remakes of OLD games are the ****.", I can't wait for Fallout 4 so I can, while taking all the time I need, play that.
I've been a gamer since I was 10 year old: Atari 2600, Vectrex, C64 etc etc. Never stopped. Now my nephew scares the **** out of me with the games he plays and the speed he does it at.
VR gaming can't come soon enough so I can game while lying in bed. NURSE!

Thanks for your sub (or better yet, PLEX) that keeps the game going for those of us who actually like it. |

i like science fiction and i like video games, i want to like eve... i've been aware of eve since it came out, but due to a serious case of spoiled rotten, some of it's game mechanics seemed archaic to me...
e.g. double click to move your character
consequently it was 2009 before i got around to even trying the game, and ever since, everytime i try eve again, ccp decides i am a demographic that must be herded into the style of gameplay they want, and the content i enjoy gets watered down/nerfed...
thats not a sandbox, its a stockyard
couple other little things about the game that bother me
5000 solar systems in the vastness of space and i can be found and attacked in 30 seconds marketplaces that allow criminals to sit on their doorsteps and commit crimes
eve to me is a game i play despite the host company, not because of them

Eve is a game for me ..... wow if you think about it. Its best hard to think about whats eve all about!?!
For me its a Journey seeing the development of the game, i like progress in a game. However eve is not my main game. Eurotruck 2/Civ series are more the nr 1 for me. (courier/contract are my main way to earn isk in eve) Even mining.
My mmorpg list yes then eve is the nr: 2 / nr: 1 STO online. Love the story line. Thats what i miss in eve (all text based) dont like reading. Just saying.
Eve is just a game thats no problem to look away and come back when you want to play again without losing anything. |

Yes, its my primary. I spend a lot of time and money on other games also.
I really like the EVE design where you have world and feel really like you can do anything here. Expanse of the world and mechanics of EVE is great, I think its the best world design in MMO games. All of it, it really conects together and ticks nicely.
Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!
