So played Eve pretty hard for a couple of years from right before Apocropha came out and was in love with the game but my enjoyment diminished with each less enjoyable update after it. Got tired of spending tons of hours building up a corp to over 100 players to have it be riddled with pointless wardecs from small half a dozen member gangs seeking just to disrupt or harass. But was enjoying wormhole life with my three carrier pilots and had a supercarrier alt completed. But it's been about 7 months now since I've played and I'm curious to hear if people think the game has gotten more enjoyable again and if its worth coming back or should i give it another six months or so? |

sure why not?
give it shot and get your own conclusions, you never know you might enjoy it as much this time around.
OR
You will hate it and ask the same question again in a few years or so.
good luck. |

All wormholes are occupied. The goons, the russians and soon to be japanese empire cartel everything. Major alliances are deciding where you can do your shopping and where you can't, mining has been deemed bad and punishable by aggression, and the trolls have multiplied by a factor of 1000.

Eve is pretty much the worst game out there and gets worse with every day that passes by. For every member your corp gets there are 10 half dozen member gangs who will wardec to harass you. Nowadays it's not just those guys but also the Goons killing every single mining ship out there, and breaking trade hubs left and right. Eve is only going to get worse from what I see, between the wardec revamp, Drake nerf, bot bans, drone nerf, and generally CCP being the most horrible game company.
Eve is in fact so terrible that in order to have fun you have to bend your own mind and create something that's fun. If you want to take another swing at that, go ahead and come back to Eve. If not, then no, Eve has not gotten any more fun. Rifterlings - Small gang lowsec combat corp specializing in frigates and cruisers (all races, not just Rifters!).

its never worth returning to eve
it is however a good idea The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

I think so, and new mechanics might make it nicer on the war dec side, changes incoming to the criminal side though unknown exactly when. New ships, and changes in industry. Best bet is renew one for a month, play around and choose for yourself. Main expansion is may 24! |

if your problem with eve is that you weren't able to build anything without someone else trying to tear it down, then no, that has not changed and it will not ever change |

There's only one answer to this question. No. You should get as far away from this game as you can. Unless you can be a GOON. Then you will be happy forever. |

Eve is a fairly ****** game at face value
It's more about making your own fun in the game so if you enjoyed the WH's then maybe coming back would be a good idea but ask yourself why you quit EVE and if you can make that change yourself as the game is pretty much the same it's always been just with a new lick of paint here and there.

No.
I unsubbed 10 months ago, came back last week to see how things are progressing, game isnt what it was.
Saying that, I cant put my finger on exactly what is missing. Besides the shiny, things are as they have allways been, I think maybe the playerbase is just degenerating. |

Some would say those trolls and major alliances have taken over CCP so if thats bad to you...

It is not worth it, at the moment we got a whole BoB situation going on again except this time it is worse, they are called goons and pets.
You should check back in next year to see if CCP kept any promises and dealt with their corruption. |

Greetings capsuleer,
It saddens me to hear you have allowed your pilot license to lapse. Whilst this section of New Eden is filled with propoganda, rhetoric and capsuleers that have had their fundamental orifices enlarged by Ammarian probes to the point of pain I would recommend you try it for yourself.
No other pilot can explain the joy they experience at taming the vast void between the stars. It is something you need to experience and try for yourself; to see if you would like to reactivate your license.
Simply re-active it for a month and have a look.
Regards,
Shian Yang |

I don't have a problem with goons, per se...I have a problem with the total lack of a counter-balance and the fact that nulsec entities can't seem to mind their own affairs.
But I digress....
I don't necessarily recommend returning, and I will tell you why. It has nothing to do with the madness that is currently going on, or the fact that it is continuing with no signs of stopping. I say do not return because
Nothing is special anymore, and the ocean has become shallow to the point of being a kiddie pool.
Caps are commonplace, there is no great war, no great depression. Great forum missives have gone the way of the dodo, replaced by "Umad bro" and posts about goon scams and how the hisec player does nothing but dive into vaults filled with pools of isk. Nulsec players are coming to hisec because they are bored and need to kick some kindergarteners around. They've neutered themselves to the point that they won't fight each other lest they disrupt their isk-printing machines. Meanwhile, hisec has become a hive of scum and villainy, more dangerous than all but the front lines of nulsec fights and losec pirate dens. Big brother has decided what is best for the common citizen, neverminding the fact that it isn't necessarily the best for the game.
Or you could become a drone and join one of those big ol' nulsec corps...you might like that. To call me a Carebear is a misnomer...while it is true that I am hairy like a bear (or two russian women), I really don't care.-á Like, at all.-á Call me an Apathybear.-á Just don't call if you need assistance. |

They did not remove the Incarna stuff, but left it in. Instead, they cut 20% of their staff... This was pretty terrible news in my opinion. CCP will probably try to sneak their ideas in anyway and past the players. This could still get interesting, but in a bad way. There is however some good news. CCP has been focusing on ships again and made the technical aspect of the game more interesting. Things are happening, things are changing. Also, CCP is stomping out botters and they seem to be getting good at it.
Players' attitude wise has nothing changed. If you do not base your game on how others have to be then you will be fine. Goons see other players as pieces of a board game. Ironically do they think they are the only ones not playing a single-player game. Do what everyone does, do play the game like it was a single-player game. Almost everyone does it in their own special way, because they all have expectations and still need to get rid of them. It is a sandbox with a matching kindergarden ... |

If you do decide to join a big nullsec corp/alliance I recommend joining goons because then you will have 10 minute respond timer on petitions (For the rest of eve it takes weeks and they are hiring GM's now...) and you got insiders at CCP.
You also get to do anything you want that would otherwise be against the rules for the rest of us.
But yeah, this guy is right, eve is not "special" anymore and I guess it has not been "special" for quite some time now. CCP says they are aware of this problem and many others but is now May and we are still waiting for actual change for the better. |
