Now may be CCP can rethink how they look at there game and see it as more then a game in some ways.
Thank You CCP This game is great just please try to fix the bugs im getting got another one last night. My cruise missiles when they was hitting the target did not do any thing to the ships they was hitting.

I think if you find proof that it can help you and some nut brings it in to a court of law with all the proof may be some day it will .

interesting.
Games usualy have defined rules and boarders so achievment is possible without causing other to lose all they have achieved.
Real life has no bonderies such as a game would, thus you can lose it all to someone that wishes to take it, bully you into handing it over, or just killing you for it...same as eve really.
This is a flaw that keeps CCP from having millions of subscribers, and why the schoolyard bully mentality is prevelent in the game.

Pretty sad, it's not good to live your life through an MMO...
I think as time goes on, and games get more & more like RL, the bigger a problem this will become, some ppl won't even know how to interact with others in the real world, just a virtual one...

And why should people HAVE to interact with real people if they don't want or need to?

Er... How does that relate to the topic? Are you implying that EVE doesn't fit in with the games that make you feel better? Or were you just venting after perhaps getting popped recently?
As to your comments, I beg to differ. Games with heavy rules that make it impossible to fail are inherently less rewarding. EVE may be a niche game now, but I think in a few years MMOs will start evolving away from the hugely carebearish rule sets.
WoW, if nothing else, has really expanded the MMO playerbase. And with that growth it has brought with it an older demographic that had no experience with MMOs prior to that. Pretty soon they are going to get tired of playing T-Ball and go looking for something that better fits their adult tastes. The candy coated kiddie games can only entertain for so long before you start feeling like a hamster doing laps on a Lego colored exercise wheel...
The "flaw that keeps CCP from having millions of subscribers" is the freedom of play that makes EVE stand apart from the kiddie games. Sure it allows "schoolyard bully" mentalities but it also allows you to beat the ever living crap out of said bully if you put your mind to it. The hamster wheel games? Meh, the bully just respawns no different than before, rinse, repeat. That's the inherent flaw of the WoW generation of games that make them simply a lower form of life on the evolutionary timeline of MMOs in general.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. ------------------- ... [OK] ...

Why do I have the impression, after reading this article, that they did a discovery a la "Masturbating can produce pleasure?"
Somehow it seems as if they look at computer games in a totally different way that they would do to football games. They both give you the same type of "psychological reward". Stories. |

Tis what I've been telling ppl for god knows how many years now.
Hell, if it wasn't for Unreal I don't know how I would have pulled through the nervous break I suffered at the age of 25.
Not to mention what atrocities I may have committed had I not had Unreal and other PvP games available to me. SEXEH!

if you are playing the game, ya, but I think you are refering to watching a foortball game...much different thing to be an observer, then to be the person actualy giving the effort to achieve something.

Success without the possibility of failure is meaningless. Eve gives me a bigger sense of success when i do something cool or get some shiny new toy than if i just had it handed to me in WoW. It gives me chances i'll never get in real life. For example i'll never be a rich business tycoon in real life, but in eve i can. Its much safer to pirate in eve than real life too, even though in eve i don't get a parot.

Maybe some day i'll even be able to admit to my boss i'm calling in because a new game came out instead of claiming to have ebola.
