Seriously, i am, i'm going to play WoW again, BUT...here comes the shocker...i'm gonna keep playing EVE too
Both have own good qualities and both are really good games. Swords+magic and space+pewpew. With both, i get catered the preverbial cake of win.
Such herecy, such blasphemy, THIS. IS. *BANG!* Argh! No, you don't go there.
Now, why is this interesting? It isn't. I just wondered if there were others who dared acknowledge their gaming to diverse from the sanctity of EVE?
In short, do you play other MMOs?
And if you can't keep the flames out, i deem you as part of "fail incorporate" forever
Keep. It. Clean.
And no, you can't have "half my stuff"

I know few people doing the same thing as you - playing both Eve and Wow, some for a long time. They seem to be quite happy with it

Well, if this is a coming out of the geek-closet thread then I will have to admit I used to play a lot of City of Heroes/Villains. Was thinking about resubbing when the next Issue arrives tbh.
Might as well also admit to just reinstalling all 3 of the Baldurs Gate series and playing them through (again(mods)).

Not that eve is the greatest games of all times (it needs alot of fixing...) but eve is so damn time consuming, I just have no idea how one could play even another mmo and not being unemployeed or living in a cave...
At least if you actually doing something in Eve apart from forum whoring

Oh aye, there's very little "weekly social" for me.
I manage it by playing EVE(training ofcourse is 24/7) for a while, doing various things, setting buy/sell orders, then when i notice i'm more sitting in station chatting then actually flying, i switch to WoW and bash things with big hammers
Also saints row 2 and fallout 3 are coming out, so my free time after work is very much "in the bag".
Weekends, well, late gaming nights mean less time hanging out in bars, but if someone asks out, i get my "groove on".
Basically WoW+EVE combo is good for killing time, avoiding single-game-boredom and to balance each games respected "lacks".

Also, will be returning to my perverted kindred the day i choose to go back into shooting other ships with big things.

Edited by: Julius Rigel on 25/09/2008 07:43:29 I played wow for two years. It's a very good PVE game. But then I got bored of PVE and wanted to try sandbox. I still log on every now and then and do a few quests with my dad, the nelf druid.
Perhaps I'll give it another go for the next expansion, I'm guessing you need a TBC activated account to get the next expansion, or are they separate?

I play many games apart from EVE. Mount & Blade, Zombie Survival has got me hooked recently. Recently downloaded and been playing Matrix Online trial. I have access to trials of Star Wars online, Everquest 2 etc so might do those. X3: Reunion - Gives me my fix for joystick space combat There are some times when i will look forward to coming home and jumping on EVE. But sometimes i log in and say hi to corp mates. And log of again cos i decide i dont feel like it. Plenty of decent games out there, im not just sticking to EVE.

Well, in hindsight, I am playing a local casual MMO aimed at younger audiences here to keep an eye mostly on my nephew's gaming habits.
I also control their gaming access, so during school exams, finals, and the like, I lock their accounts down.
The same MMO is played by my S.O. so I cant simply just back out of it. She is feisty if I dont join her in that MMO even if I'm bored to death over it. -

I'm a single player game player. I love eve for it's muliplayer, but when it comes to spending TOO much time playing a game it's mount and blade, megaman, mass effect, bioshock, breath of fire, earthbound and the such.
if I played a wow again I know I would sudden;y be missing on on playing great one player games!
or having time to play gutiar, build my room, go out with the soon to be wife, have parties and such.
I don't know wow brought out all the terrible part of my video game addticition. a one player (mmorpg) that I can play... forever? oh god just kill me now. in eve everything you do you feel it. so I can stop, even if sometimes t's becuase I get ****ed off at the game, or if I'm scared to long in due to war targeting taking out the pos I was at the other night.
so yeah enjoy wow as long as your not the type to play it too much!

The next CoH issue looks really good. Definitely thinking about playing for another cycle when it comes out also.
I have a WoW account paid through December but haven't logged in much lately. Most people I know and guildmates have gone to Warhammer or otherwise stopped playing, and I am pretty bored with it too. Lack of PvP on a PvP server = major fail. And WoW PvE is, of course, boring as hell. The expansion doesn't sound too good so far (more of the same , and still no meaningful PvP content) but we'll see I guess. But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

The only other online game I play is UT2004. Currently my non-EVE gaming consists of the S.T.AL.K.E.R. mods however.
I wouldn't have the time or even inclination to play another MMOG, since I don't like MMOGs. -

As for me, I tried going back to WoW when I got tired of being stuck in a dark corner of Venal. I lasted like... three weeks. After Eve I just can't go back to chasing carrots in an environment where skill is primarily a function of how much you play. ---

I used to play City of Heroes, got bored with its simplicity the more I got into Eve. I still have it installed and consider picking up another month here and there, but last time I went back it just wasn't the same. Probably a lot to do with many of the people I used to play with having moved on, they kept me in that game for a lot longer than I'd have expected.

I used to play WoW but quit after I was in the top 10 PVP players and bought all the shiny items, I tried PVE but no-one wants a DPS warrior, and all creativity in builds is discouraged as only cookie cutter builds are allowed into the top raiding guilds.
I still play Ultima Online (home-made private server as EA's ruleset sucks) and Guild Wars. No pointless item-based grind for me, thanks. ---
Thanks for all that supported me. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

WoW seems to have more point to the pvp, in that you actually improve your character by pvp'ing. EVE seems just about bragging rights. Sure you can get some drops, but it fails as a moneymaking profession versus other activities.
I have fun I suppose roaming around with a gang and picking off people, but it just seems a little pointless to me. Trying to get into the pvp but maybe this game wasnt meant to me.
Patently waiting for diablo3.

I play Tabula Rasa a lot more than I play Eve. It has a well thought out back story, the missions are interesting, the combat is fast paced. They release an patch every couple of months so that there is always new stuff to do.
I also play Dungeon Runners. It has a small but great PvP community. And while it has problems with nano*****s I find the PvP very rewarding.
I am a Hello Kitty Online Founder, when I get fed up with the cute fluffiness of Eve, I like to go to a cold dark place and battle evil.

I find the concept of classes and levelling out repulsive. Sword & sorcerers have had their day. I want guns, makeshift weapons, a dark future type of setting over fairydust.

I will definitely play WoW again once the expansion hits the shelves. It won't be anything groundbreaking new, but so far Blizz has delivered a solid, relatively bug-free gaming experience with nice graphics and sound and a great intuitive UI (HELLO, CCP!!!), which is way more than the average MMOG company can provide. I'm expecting to get about 4-6 months of gaming before the thing gets stale again.
At the same time, I'll be keeping an eye on WAR and AoC to see how those games evolve. WAR seems to come along nicely and AoC is slowly improving now, after the old game director got fired (Funcom seems to need those solid kicks in the balls from time to time to get them going).
During my WoW time, I will most likely just log on to train new skills in EvE. Depending on how the GTC prices are in January, I will either get some new codes or go into hibernation. --------------- Hey, where's my portrait |

I cant combine two MMO's, thats beyond me.
It ended up with me disappearing from EVE for 3-4 months, just playing WoW and when I return most ppl I knew had moved on to different corps.
So now I stick to EVE since I can possibly balance the two.

Im not planing to return back to wow for some personal reasons. After 3 years in EVE im freezing my 4 accounts.
This game has become very time consuming game and my personal time is very limited.
I joined Warhammer Online since beta, and i have a possitive opinion about that game.

I am a lvl 32 orc warrior now, and only play it when Eve bores me. I see it more as a single player game, leveling up, doing quests. After lvl 70 I'll just pack it.

I can't really think of a bigger reward than owning the world. PvP in ≡v≡ certainly seems to have more of a point than in most MMOs… except maybe Planetside.

Does that work with their new Kingdom Reborn client? I played UO again recently (after an 8!!! year break) the client is really cool but your right its still ruined by all the PvE crap that the game was never originally designed for.

I played WOW when It first came out for about a year. I had to quit as the average age in that game was 12...no strike that everyone had the mentality of a 12 year old and I just couldnt hack it. Great game but sucks its overrun by whiny 12 year olds.
I love eve because it reminds me of UO in the old days, very cut throat and there is consequences for dying. MMO that have no consequence for dying makes death an annoyance instead of an adrenaline boosted ride.
I play a free UO server as well...and guild wars. If you melt dry ice can you swim in it and not get wet? |

Originally by: Ankhesentapemkah I still play Ultima Online (home-made private server as EA's ruleset sucks) and Guild Wars. No pointless item-based grind for me, thanks.
Does that work with their new Kingdom Reborn client? I played UO again recently (after an 8!!! year break) the client is really cool but your right its still ruined by all the PvE crap that the game was never originally designed for.
As far as I know Kingdom Reborn isn't supported. But I think it looks horrible anyway.
The game did have PVE in mind, but with AOS they turned it into an item-based game, no longer a skill-based game. And they didn't do a good job at that, leading to many bugs, grind, imbalances and so on.
Originally by: Kleus Flek EvE+UO FTW! I play runuo's free server and roleplay on it. I'm an orc, wooohoo! We go around in large groups with crappy equipment, zerg stuff and talk smack in orchish. It's great.
Haha orc roleplaying is a lot of fun.
Originally by: Adrielle Firewalker Yeah I do that too. One that emulates Second Age timeframe
I programmed my own ruleset which now contains elements from pre-AOS, post-AOS, Guild Wars, Diablo and Conquer Online.
Got chivarly, necromancy, bushido, ninjitsu, spellweaving and a custom spell skill (piety) that allows the casting of priest skills (healing/protection). The AOS resistance system has been overhauled, with all weapons doing physical damage to which armor has flat absorption rates instead of percentual ones, and diminishing returns on elemental resistances which are percentage based.
Equipment has a fixed amount of possible modifiers ala Guild Wars, and people can find gems and socket them into items ala Diablo, people need arms lore and itemID for this, giving these skills actual uses for crafters.
Unlike AOS, the game is not that equipment based despite the large amount of item properties floating around. Item properties only give small bonusses, which makes cheap non-magical equipment viable and makes it easy for player-crafted items to compete, and be upgraded later on with more properties by other player craftsmen.
Too bad my server collapsed after people left for WOW because they had friends playing that.
Ah well this is getting off-topic sorry about that. Just being a passionate game designer. ---
Thanks for all that supported me. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Originally by: Banana Torres I play Tabula Rasa a lot more than I play Eve. It has a well thought out back story, the missions are interesting, the combat is fast paced. They release an patch every couple of months so that there is always new stuff to do.
I enjoyed Tabula Rasa for a few weeks but then it began to feel like a series of FPS maps. Which it is to some extent. I didn't find it anywhere near as immersive as Eve.

To be honest after 8 years i'd kinda forgotten how it looked, and after playing KR for a month I was forced to download the classic client due to some bugs with the house editor thing in KR. Classic looks seriously dated, 800x600 on a 22" widescreen.. I really think its just a matter of what your used to.

I've played Lineage II, FFXI (or whichever one was online), Ragnarok, World of Warcraft and a few others. I hate the all with a passion. Perhaps it could be the fact that I just don't have the drive to go out and kill the same stupid monsters for hours on end to level, perhaps its when I do quests and such I'm the priest (or equivalent) and so it's hard to do it. Or maybe it's just the fact that I play a priest in a group of friends that lack any sort of life what-so-ever and end up out leveling me with absolutely no consideration to their healer. To me those games suck. To each his own I'll say. I have sworn off all kill to level based MMO's. Hopefully one day CCP will humor my sense of play style and create a sword and magic type MMO with similar training mechanics as Eve.

My WoW account is currently inactive, but mostly due to boredom with the game.
I've no doubt I'll reactivate it at some point.
Nothing wrong with WoW for people who want that game, and a lot of folks do want it. I wish them well.

Obviously you didnt bother reading the rest of my post, or you simply dont have any intelligent to say about it. (it = lack of reward for pvp activities)
EVE PvP not having the same point != EVE PvP having no point.
The rest of your post was irrelevant.
I guess thinking about it I can see some parts of pvp in eve being useful. Specifically defending your territory in 0.0. Unfortunately I havnt been doing any of that. Just roaming around lowsec in gangs killing random people for no particular reason, and that to me seems not only pointless, but bad for me in that I then have to waste time trying to get my sec status back up again.
Id much sooner be making ISK.
I guess I should modify my statement to "Killing in lowsec seems pointless to me".

Originally by: Sheriff Jones Seriously, i am, i'm going to play WoW again, BUT...here comes the shocker...i'm gonna keep playing EVE too
Both have own good qualities and both are really good games. Swords+magic and space+pewpew. With both, i get catered the preverbial cake of win.
Such herecy, such blasphemy, THIS. IS. *BANG!* Argh! No, you don't go there.
Now, why is this interesting? It isn't. I just wondered if there were others who dared acknowledge their gaming to diverse from the sanctity of EVE?
In short, do you play other MMOs?
And if you can't keep the flames out, i deem you as part of "fail incorporate" forever
Keep. It. Clean.
And no, you can't have "half my stuff"
The reason (most) people tell people to GB2WOW is because WOW and EVE are fundamentally different games, and people who want to change EVE's core design need to STFU and go play a game that already has what they want.
WoW is a good game, it's just not one I would (ever) want to play

WoW is a PvE grind. Who can forget levels 25 to 45? It was linear - you HAD to do Stranglethorn Vale etc. and kill hundreds trolls/panthers/small dinosaurs.
EVE has more variety - There are more ways to get ISK. PvPing for ISK is just one method.
And just wait for walking in stations!

Agreed. I started playing casually on launch day, and it's awesome that you can just hop on, get thrown into pvp in a variety of ways, yet still level up instead of doing boring, mindless grinding. I mean, c'mon, there's a quest that gives you xp for "grinding" 10 other player characters!

Edited by: Victor Kruger on 25/09/2008 19:11:23 People here conveniently forget that the "xp" in EvE is Isk to fund your new ship/skill/implant/module. So in essence, both WoW and EvE require you to grind (which is the base of all MMOG's). The difference is how this is achieved. I find the Isk grind in EvE far more tedious (either do missions, rat in low/nullsec or mine) than the xp grind in WoW.
If you can actually fund your income through PvP then I applaud you, as you are in a minority.

While I can understand playing eve along with some other game (since you can keep 'playing' just by making sure you always have a skill trianing).. WoW has no good qualities it did not rip off from some other game.
Play some other mmo.
wow is a very weak solo grind to highest level and then a boring raid schedule waiting game. Between raids you can amuse yourself with things like standing around or solo grinding another character up.
There is no long term purpose or staying power.
If you like a raid game go play ffxi or something, did you hear that story, they have the hardcore raids yo, take like all day to kill a boss. People were passing out! Intense!
Honestly though, i could not reccomend another mmo that is out on the market today and is possible to start playing as it is in its current state. They are all bad now. The possible exception being CoX, which is easy to get into.

I played WoW from Jan 05 to Aug of 06. Canceled WoW when I started playing Eve (have been playing Eve since Aug 06). I went back to playing WoW again, on and off, after the first add-on (to play the two races). Played until I got em both to level 40 and canceled again. About a month ago I renewed (for the third time). Logged on, sat there looking at the screen for 10 minutes, logged off and canceled. I just can't play it any more. It was a fun game but it aint fun for me anymore.
I tried playing AoC. I had more fun on the forums then I did in game. Not a very good thing to say about a game. I might try Warhammer but I will not make the same mistake I did with AoC (am going to wait for others to try it out for the first month or so).
So, alas, the only MMO I play is Eve. I wish there was another spaceship MMO out there. I would really like to try it.

And im pretty sure AC is still around.
But are those games you can 'get into' right now, today? Or have they dwindled down to a core of diehards that will be unfriendly to nublars and make getting a group impossible?

I have never played any other MMOs past atrial for a few hours. None appeal to me more than eve and i certainly dont have the time for more than one (when i get bored it tends to be with gaming in general rather than eve). Once Eve dies or the devs totally break it i will probably go try another but i dont think that will happen soon (hopefully).

The reason you don't like WoW, is because of the way YOU play it. Sure if you pick quite possibly the dullest way to play a game then of course it's not going to be fun.
And whats this about it having "a very weak solo grind to max level"? Unless to lvel you spent your whole time just grinding mobs and not doing a single quest i don't understand that at all.

I mean that you can solo to the maximum level in a couple weeks, and if you really push yourself and really try you could probably do it in a single week with some classes.
And then when you get there all thats left to do is to raid. And to do the really 'good' raids you need a guild, and for that you have to coordinate things with said guild, which means you can only raid at certain times, based on when everyone is on and has the time to do so.
Its boring. The EQ style endgame is one of the worst kind in mmos, and WoW is probably the lamest incarnation of it.
WoW is a shiny game, once you realize what it is most people are already addicted to it (this is how most mmos work really). But the thing with mmo addictions, the more mmos you have played and quit, the harder it is for you to become 'hooked'.
Speaking as an mmo UBERLEETVETERANMASTER, who no longer feels compelled to 'keep playing a game i dont like anymore because i already put so much time into it', i was able to judge wow for what it was, and deem it unfit.
The only reason wow is popular, is also the only reason EQ was popular. For many people its their first mmorpg. Your first mmorpg you think is nifty-keen-awesome and you stick too long after youve stopped having fun. That is just the way mmos work.
I played wow for a bit more than a year. From its release. I played it and had a priest and i raided. I quit because it was a bad game once you get to the endgame. I came back when the first expansion came out to check it out. I solod up a new character in a few weeks. Endgame was even worse in the expansion=P
If you dont mind playing WoW fully realising that the game ends when you get to the highest level*, go ahead. But dont enter it with the wrong idea.
*most people make alts. Thats what they do. They level and level and when they get to max, they start over. Thats wows real endgame, raids are just a way to make people feel like they are still advancing their main by playing it a feqw hours every weekend so as to not quit in disgust.

Again, it isnt all about raiding at all, in fact i i never do anything more than 5 man instances and i pvp a fair bit. Raiding is very dull you're right. That is why i choose not to do it.

there is not much more to do at that point. in that case the game just becomes an interactive chat room, because you have hit the wall on advancement. why even bother leveling then? just chat on a level 1?
ive done my fair share of time wasting pointless activities in mmos. i remember in nexustk i collected lots and lots and lots of slag (a worthless item), just to have a whole lot of it. did the same with rat meat (and made a good bit of money when alchemy came out, rat meat being a needed ingredient ^___^)
But now we are in a realm of 'interactive chatroom' ok.. Then why not play a game thats better at being an interactive chatroom? CoX has more character customization, better emotes, and you can fly around. AO has better atmosphere to just hang out in.. hell, even second life would be entertaining if you make sure you step around the furries =P
What does wow offer other than character progression? Cybering with nigh elves?
dont say pvp, there is nothing good about wow pvp.

Since this, as always, fell to the comparison grid with people and even got a few "quit now plz!" comments, you really want me to compare the two from a non-sided view?
It'll ruin parts of EVE if i do.
I can rip down basically any game to such elements that make it sound very boring and mundane to play, it's my job afterall, to shoot down game concepts
EVE has parts that are better, WoW has parts that are better, and the other way around in negative. I was simply curious if people feeded their lack of stuff or boredom with other games.

I fixed it for you:
Quote: I mean that you can solo to a hulk in a couple weeks, and if you really push yourself and really try you could probably do it in a single week with some mindless running missions and mining in an osprey.
And then when you get there all thats left to do is to join a corporation. And to do the really 'good' mining ops you need an alliance, and for that you have to coordinate things with said alliance, which means you can only mine at certain times, based on when everyone is on and has the time to do so.
Here is the bottom line:
Don't compare EVE to WoW. They are different games. Some like EVE, some like WoW, some like both, some like others.
However...
To all the people that keep saying WoW is a mindless leveling/grinding game: so is EVE. You do boring missions, boring mining, boring trading to gain ISK to get better stuff. Even if you are a fulltime PvPer you need to grind to pay for new ships.
And you can't tell me that you actually prefer mindnumbing watching your cargohold fill with new pieces of ore every 8 minutes for 3 hours or doing the same missions for days at end where you accept mission -> warp to -> kill 20 red plusses -> warp back, is more fun than doing quests.

This. Although overall I would vote EvE as the better game, I've recently become bored of it (like many people do, and eventually come back) and started playing WoW with a couple friends. Gotta say that it wasn't half as bad a I was expecting

Trading/industry isn't boring if you are doing it right.
Nor is it a grind, since it is a form of PvP.
And anyway, the difference isn't that EVE doesn't having grinding, it's that grinding in EVE is merely a means to a player-chosen end. -

Trading/industry isn't boring if you are doing it right.
Nor is it a grind, since it is a form of PvP.
And anyway, the difference isn't that EVE doesn't having grinding, it's that grinding in EVE is merely a means to a player-chosen end.
If you look at trading/industry as a form of PvP then you can say the same thing about WoW since you can also trade and produce there and sell it on the AH ;)
And grinding is a means to an end in most MMO's. Also WoW. -------------- I R Not Completely Amazing, But I R Mostly Amazing |

Can I have a percentage of your stuff, weighted inversely based upon how much you play a particular game?
And yeah, I've played WoW - my old corp all bailed to go play it because they thought the entry barrier to 0.0 alliances was too big, and there was no way they could get involved...a surprisingly common and incorrect opinion.
There's a variety of complaints that can be levelled, but I think the simplest is the same issue with City of Heroes/Villains. Somewhere, some crazy developer thought up adding a watered down variant of PvP to a PvE game, and both cases result in games that are PvE-centric with the occasional cast-spells-at-people minigame. ----------------------------- Signature for sale :o |

http://www.darkfallonline.com/ Check it out. EvE with swords and magic.
If Darkfall ever does see the light od fay I suspect it will be a complete mess. They reckon it's going to release this year but isn't even in beta yet. And why is everything shrouded in mystery? It seems to have been made by part-time devs with little or no experience. Plus the graphics are ugly as ****.

EVE takes 80% of my gaming time, rest is mixed with some of the boxed games like Mass Effect etc. Only other online game is Aces High 2, a WW2 aerial combat sim. Great fun at times :) -----------------------------------------------------

Good luck playng WoW. My son plays/ed until recently when his account starting getting hacked (along with about 10,000 other people).
After lots of e-mails and calls to Blizzards account management department and a complete reformat and re-install of his PC (they were claiming the hacking was down to a keylogger)we got his account back only to have Blizzard lock it two days later to "confirm" the identity of the owner.
They refuse to talk to me even though my son is under 16 and it's my credit card paying for it and in order to prove it's his/my account they want everything down to a copy of his passport, which i refused on the base of this information can be used for identity theft.
I've got so peeved off with them I cancelled his subscription and now they are refusing to refund me the outstanding amount (it's paid upto Feb 09)even though my son can't even log in an play because the account is locked.
So have fun playing WoW.
Oh and there suggestion to improve account security. Spend another $6.50 with them to buy a "Blizzard Authenticator".

A couple weeks ago I actually completely reformatted my buddys computer as he had his account hacked as well, mentioned something along the lines of a keylogger as well. For him he got everything up and back in a weeks time. Then again he used GTC instead of credit. That some shoddy customer service. I guess now's a good time to start Warhammer.

Oh i will, when 40k comes.
Sword and magic, as much as one can make WAR as, is kept to WoW for the sole reason of things working and years of "staying power". I like MMOs, like EVE, that will be around me for more then three months.
But 40k, it's my secod hope along Stargste, to actually finding a character immersed MMO of sci-fi proportions.

Eve was my first and for a long time only MMO. i got tired of spending hours trying to find a "good" fight, not a gank (either way) and not the mindless 0.0 fleet op. Looking for something that was small gang vs small gang is so hard because its rare that you find another gang that is near equal in size or shiptypes, and rarer still that both sides want to engage in an equal fight.
Then i tried WAR, it promised instant PVP, and it does deliver. Its just that the PVP is so mindless, nothing gets accomplished, there are really no variations to what a certian cast of character can do, and if you die you just respawn and run right back into the fight as if nothing happened. Add on top of that lack of player economy, simple equipment decisions (item x is always better than item y), and the genral lack of community feel.
I would love it if Eve introduced some mechanisms to allow players to opt into pvp situations that were tied into FW for example. Some sort of PVP missions that were tied into the victory points/system control and rankings. Maybe even reintroduce static complexes, anything that encourages small gangs to fight over.
That being said I am down from 3 accounts to 1 on Eve.

I played WoW for a few years. When I started playing EVE I noticed that I was playing mostly with adults (maturity-wise, not age-wise, though EVE players are older on the average). I strongly doubt that I will ever fire up my WoW account again. ____________________________________

Regarding WAR, in pvp, don't you get some goal for it all? Any rewards? Like the keeps. Isn't the point to get the keeps? I'm not totally sure but I'm pretty close to buying it. It sounds like my instant action game, and eve is my better, but more patient game. |

used to play both wow and eve, im really bored of wow now, everything i do in it, ive done before, nothing new. Stopping playing a couple of months ago. Might start playing again when wotlk comes out, but we'll see if my old mates start playing, and if they do ill defo go along. If they dont then meh, ill stick to eve.
I tried warhammer, which seems ok, but i can see myself growing bored of it very soon, i dont think ill be renewing the subscription when my free 30 days runs out.
AoC looked amazing, really thought we had a winner. Turns out the first few levels had alot of effort put into them, and onwards from there everything was just instanced and lame. Really amazing graphics tho.
I'm not bored of eve yet, wont be a long time before i get bored either, theres just so much to do :P |

I am breaking from Eve for a while, and making my 2 accounts 1, just cant finnish with it coz it always seems to be "almost" the game i want it to be (curse you ccp), but i am playing warhammer (im a tabletop fan), its just that i expect pvp to be like Battlefield or similar, when i fire/slash at someone it should hit EVERYONE in the way, not just the guy ive right clicked on...this is really annoying me about WAR and will shortly kill my interest, i just cant stand running around in circles slashing at one guy in a group and NO ONE ELSE gets hit ...wheres the friendly fire smartbomb goodness of Eve! and I mission for faction standing, if i need isk, sell a gtc! |

Originally by: wdwjhdw WoW seems to have more point to the pvp, in that you actually improve your character by pvp'ing. EVE seems just about bragging rights. Sure you can get some drops, but it fails as a moneymaking profession versus other activities.
I have fun I suppose roaming around with a gang and picking off people, but it just seems a little pointless to me. Trying to get into the pvp but maybe this game wasnt meant to me.
Patently waiting for diablo3.
I agree with you that Eve Online lacks motivation for pvp and pve both lack a reason to do them in the first place money no items rewards none what loyalty points oh please. What eles is there as a reward to pvp or pve not much to think of.

I myself am starting to get a little fed up with eve. I'm thinking of moving over to WAR. I don't believe I can deal with normal 0.0 roaming ops. Pretty much fly around for three hours, clicking the align and jump button every now and then, only to find a couple ships and call it a night.(whoopie) I'm really starting to break down PvP in eve to its basics and it's really not that superior to any other game really (but not saying it is, or is not superior at all) It's the impression by the people that believe pvp here is great. In reality I think not quite so. Lets say we take that three wasted hours and but in a bunch of other people that decide to show up and we go to battle. FC: prim X, dead, prim Y, dead, prime Z, dead. End of battle.
Now I'm not saying WAR isn't like that. I "believe" WAR is a quick way to get some pvp action. Naturally it'll be press 1,2,3,4,5 etc but at least I don't have to fly around for hours on end and cross my fingers hoping I get a bite. See, pvp in eve is a LOT like fishing. You go around for hours hoping something bites. Sometimes nothing, most of the time, nothing(what it feels like at least in fishing and eve) Don't get me wrong either the fleet guys are awesome and all so its not lacking in that area.
Basically I think I'm running out of reasons to play eve. I hardly log in and I don't want to 'force' myself to log in just because I'm paying for it. Either way I may probably will get bored of Warhammer after the first month, come back here , get bored, go back to warhammer etc. Who knows. Whats your input, why do you play eve over other games?

I've played WoW, and I will probably play WoW in the future. At the moment my account is suspended (I cannot find time for two MMOs in the same fiscal month). I also play Popmundo (browser based game, free to play, check it out).
If I had a better 'puter I'd probably try out other MMOs as well, but with things being as they are, that's not happening. And EVE runs OKish on this one, albeit no premium gfx for me. |

Blizzard does a really good job making their PvE content enjoyable. It's nice to play through the new content they release but if you stick around the inherent flaws in the game turn the experience sour.
So I'll probably play the next expansion for a month or two, but not much more.

It's fun pvp, looks like it doesn't lag even with 40 vs 40 dishing it out in a public area.

For those who doubt the time of many MMOs and games in general, here's a tip i've learned in my many , MANY years of gaming:
You don't need to play the same game every day

I play Eve cause it is spaceships. I am a sci-fi person not a fantasy person.
Also I played Elite back in the day and Eve for me is Elite online.
Not that I have any problem with anyone who plays WoW or anything else.
Its all about having fun after all.

(Edited so I can respond easier) 1. I myself am starting to get a little fed up with eve. I'm thinking of moving over to WAR. I don't believe I can deal with normal 0.0 roaming ops. Pretty much fly around for three hours, clicking the align and jump button every now and then, only to find a couple ships and call it a night.(whoopie)
2. I'm really starting to break down PvP in eve to its basics and it's really not that superior to any other game really (but not saying it is, or is not superior at all) It's the impression by the people that believe pvp here is great. In reality I think not quite so. Lets say we take that three wasted hours and but in a bunch of other people that decide to show up and we go to battle. FC: prim X, dead, prim Y, dead, prime Z, dead. End of battle.
3. See, pvp in eve is a LOT like fishing. You go around for hours hoping something bites. Sometimes nothing, most of the time, nothing(what it feels like at least in fishing and eve) Don't get me wrong either the fleet guys are awesome and all so its not lacking in that area.
1. I know what you mean about eve requiring alot of time doing nothing much.
2. I also don't think the combat mechanics are better in Eve than in every other game. However, they do work fine. Never really understood the l33t attitude and people who say "LTP" because Eve is a pretty simple straightforward pvp experience.
3. Same as 1 - I really know what you mean.
Having said this I tried out WoW (havent tried out warhammer) for mainly these reasons, think I got up to 52 or 53 before I couldn't take any more. Easy pvp in WoW is just a pointless minigame with disorganised idiots who don't know what they are doing. And tons of pve in between bored the hell out of me (how is pve any more interesting than a single player game?).
When you compare that experience to eve pvp then eve wins every time. Also tried AO (not my cup of tea) and a few other mo's as well as a fair number of MUD's (there are still some good muds out there - WOT, Kinslayermud, etc).
When you go into fleet battles (despite the moans about lag) then Eve for me becomes a game unlike any I have experienced before or after. Most of the individual elements are fairly simple - align, pres f1-f8, warp, etc but the way it all ties together is epic in scale and ambition. For me at the moment it's either eve or a single player.

EVE is really the first game making me kinda "addicted." Not that addicted like asians dying at home because their heart stops beating. And not that addicted that I begin to cry when I'm not at the PC. But when your last thoughts when going to bed are "hope I don't forget to start that skill before the DT tomorrow..." That's... dunno. :P There were some games which made me addicted (one of them is a game like Ogame, playing it since almost 3 years), but Eve is the first one I'm happy to play. Browsergames are usually a big problem to your RL ("damn, my fleet came back 10 minutes ago"). That's the thing why I like Eve.
But I could not imagine to play WoW besides of Eve (as it is one of the most boring games I've ever played. Even more doing-the-same-things-all-the-time than Eve :D), WoW is just wasted time for me. Always running around doing the same things (well. Like doing in Eve), but I really hate that ranking system, that's the difference to Eve. You have to wait and do other things until your skills are ready. Like mining or useless ship losing (I'd call it getting experience :D).
But the main thing why I'm not playing WoW besides Eve is the fact, that it is just another MMORPG. I more like surfing around in the Internet or playing games you can play whenever you want and how much you want (World in Conflict, Crysis, Soldat).
Oh and almost forgotten: It's 15Ç addional. No way. :)

Originally by: Sheriff Jones Seriously, i am, i'm going to play WoW again, BUT...here comes the shocker...i'm gonna keep playing EVE too
Both have own good qualities and both are really good games. Swords+magic and space+pewpew. With both, i get catered the preverbial cake of win.
Such herecy, such blasphemy, THIS. IS. *BANG!* Argh! No, you don't go there.
Now, why is this interesting? It isn't. I just wondered if there were others who dared acknowledge their gaming to diverse from the sanctity of EVE?
In short, do you play other MMOs?
And if you can't keep the flames out, i deem you as part of "fail incorporate" forever
Keep. It. Clean.
And no, you can't have "half my stuff"

Subspace / Continuum Extreme Games

(TW sux, go to EG and tell Croaker I said hi.)
Screw Extreme Games, Hockey Zone is where it's at!
Wow, Subspace.. brings back memories of a time when The Station didn't suck - I played the hell outta Subspace and Tanaris (dialup 90s internet tanks ftw)
Anyway I played WoW for a good long time, a couple of years actually. But it's just too much of a time sink, really. If you want to do anything meaningful in the end-game (meaningful in WoW means you get experience the storyline the devs have created for you and everyone else), you have play 25 hours a day, 8 days a week or get left behind and get stuck in a shitty raiding guild with the rest of the rejects.
Now, WoW is and continues to be a great PvE game but my real life comes first, and for that I love Eve's real-time skill system. And in Eve I don't have to worry about being 2nd best because my goals are whatever I say they are.
All that said though I'm still a fantasy dork at heart. Dragons will always > spaceships. But Eve is a great game in it's own right and I intend to continue playing it, though I might check out Darkfall and especially Aion next year. |

I think im tired of traditional mmorpg's. I was looking forward to WAR as well, but now that its here, im not even interested anymore.
Maybe if I become unemployed at some point, I might give it a try. They are excellent for spending entire days in.

You bring up a great point with the difference of single player and actual multiplayer in eve. I fondly remember being in FW and the massive battles that have taken place. Of course like we mentioned its focus firing to the last man stand but it brings a different coordination like something were about to embark on will make a difference (it doesn't but its fun).
I can't really speak about pvp being better since I really never gave other mmo's a long chance. I tried a wow trail a long time ago, Diablo 2 drained the PvE out of me then so I wasn't willing to do that. I tried AO...*shudders* waste of time for me. I didn't even really understand it though. Failgate: London was fail. And here I am in Eve. The first ever MMO to actually get me to sub, which I'd say is not too shabby. I did trial it out a year or two ago but didn't get caught, but it got stuck in the back of my head, the seed was planted and now has grown.

This is why I'm hoping the White Wolf mmo will follow the sandbox nature of Eve. I'd really love to get into a fantasy mmo that draws me in so I can finally stop the odd month every now and then when I resub to Wow for a little mindless hack and slash.

Coming back from WoW. The two are apples and oranges. In WoW if someone is bad and ganks your guild bank, then Blizz gives the money back. When you die you lose nothing but some armor durability.
Fun game but there is nothing to lose, and nothing to own (like owning territory and building infrastructure.
I have such a love for this game, and I know it has passed me by, but I still like logging in and remembering the good ol' days I guess. I wish I could start over when Eve was in its infant stages....I would do most anything for that.

I play both, myself.
I just recently got into EVE, and I love it. WoW is basically a kid's game, but it's very slick, and as long as you ignore the community, it's quite a lot of fun. I came from Ultima Online and WWII Online, so I missed the gritty gameplay those games provided when I got into WoW. EVE now provides that in large wholesale lots. It's a good time to be a gamer.
