Vultaras	Posted - 2009.10.14 13:56:00 - [1] Maybe stupid question, but at this moment as i am newbie , this game is something awesome to me..... But , how do you feel yourself after playing this game for very long time like one year and more? Is it what to discover and what to play, is it still interesting? Thank you for answers.
Kva Plexcha	Posted - 2009.10.14 13:58:00 - [2] Best. Game. Ever. Sorta
Tokas III Minmatar Chorra's Den	Posted - 2009.10.14 13:58:00 - [3] Best game ever created. CCP rocks!
Ana Vyr	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:03:00 - [4] It's a fantastic game. Progression is slow enough that you open up new things at a constant rate. You pretty much always have something new that you can fly or do. There is plenty of danger for those who seek it, and plenty of other ways to play the game as well. I love wormholes and exploration, personally. I've lived in 0.0 in an alliance setting. I can run level 4 missions. I've done some manufacturing and trading. I experienced all of that in my first year of play.
Bonny Lee Caldari The Guardian Agency Systematic-Chaos	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:04:00 - [5] 3 1/2 years playing. Had some months were i needed a break but no game could compete with EvE so far and after that breaks i loved to play again. Dont see this chaning tbh. Perhaps some more breaks to come, but i¦ll finally leave when the servers shut down i guess.

Darek Castigatus Immortalis Inc. Shadow Cartel	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:07:00 - [7] short answer - yes Long answer - yes because i can look back over my eve time and see every time i decided to change the way i did things. From mission runner to npc 0.0 back to mission running then out to 0.0 again and finally coming back to try out lowsec piracy ive always had the choice available to do something different once i didnt want to do what i was doing anymore. There are places i have never been to, corps ive never met a member of and ships ive never flown. Eve has more raw potential and more ways to achieve that potential than any other game ive ever played. Props to CCP for not only making the world but continuing to maintain it and trying to give us even more things to aspire to.
Norian Lonark Gallente Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:07:00 - [8] Amazing game, amazing ideas and potential for future growth, very excited to see where things go, CCP are being different to a lot of companies out there and for me it works. I cant think of any other game where you can play for such a long time and still log on and do new and different things, whatever mood your in. Also fits in well with my lifestyle, I cant be playing 24*7 and grinding constantly for "uber" gear. I'll hopefully be playing for many years to come.
Zaiyo Modi Minmatar	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:10:00 - [9] Edited by: Zaiyo Modi on 14/10/2009 14:11:40 It's a love and hate relationship. I don't think I could find the same enthusiasm for any other mmo game, as other games seem to be too simple and unrefined.
LordSwift Caldari SWG-RoNaN-BloOdFiN	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:12:00 - [10] Started in somewhere in 2007 i think and loving it. I have not done everything this game offers so far and will be playing this many years to come. I have taken some breaks for a couple of weeks. But i have never cancelled my account so i skills keep going. To be honest, its a good idea to take a break from playing one game all the time. Hence i am looking forward to dust. Two screens, mining on one and dust on another. wooo
Celeritas 5k Caldari Destry's Lounge Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:24:00 - [11] Been playing for about 2 and a half years (I think, too lazy to open up EVE and check my character info.) Taken a couple breaks in that time, but still enjoy the hell out of it. PVE is boring as hell, PVP has something new almost every time I go out. - NEVER PVP SOBER.
Davin Forsosa	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:33:00 - [12] I feel like I only just started yesterday. This game is fantastic and extremely deep. For the first time since Ultima Online over a decade ago, I finally feel like I'm playing inside a virtual world. I can't burn out in this game like other linear games like World of Warcraft. I've always got something to do and there is always something in the world taking place (possibly close to me like recent news). An MMO where your subscription pays for new content, evolving gameplay and universe and a community that is rarely untarnished in other games. Yes, please.
Marcus Druallis Quantum Industries RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:37:00 - [13] I'm approaching 5 years and have still not done it all. Love it. --
Colonel Xaven Decadence. RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:39:00 - [14] Originally by: Vultaras But , how do you feel yourself after playing this game for very long time like one year and more? Is it what to discover and what to play, is it still interesting EvE was my entry into the world of MMOs and I do not regret it. I always discover new stuff and I still think this is a longtale story for me. -CX
Ghengis Tia	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:39:00 - [15] The "thrill" is gone, but I still derive a lot of enjoyment from playing. Have spent a lot of time recently training my Invention/Production alt to do T2 invention and manufacturing, and getting faction standing up high enough to get a high-sec POS. Still weighing the cost/benefits though. Missions become tedious, and once you've got an Isk stash you yearn for more challenges, and start to poke your nose into low/null sec via exploration. I'm gearing up to have my main and alts do some serious WH ventures using an Orca as a logistics base. As a solo player I do run into "sandbox block" periodically, but always seem to come up with something that catches my fancy and I then direct all my resources in that direction. In some ways you develop an attachment to your characters and enjoy seeing them succeed, as they continue to grow within your psyche. As an author does with a character in a book, you give them greater depth and "flesh" them out with strengths and weaknesses. It is a science fiction novel that never ends, and you are in that novel.
Serpents smile	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:43:00 - [16] I love it and I hate it. I really admire the people behind it and think it's a wonderful way to get payed: let others waste their time on a game-> (internet spaceship pixels) and fill your pockets with money from those who play it. Just brilliant. I love it because after 2 years I know I only scratched the surface. Which means I've been a carebear for 2 years, though on occasion I found myself on the wrong side of empire. Am since short in contact with (oh my) pirates. Had my first few roaming parties (40-150 man fleets, you never know what that is until you've experienced it ) through low sec and 0.0, got blown up, lost my pod and another shocker: I loved it! And yet there is so much still to learn and to discover. I hate it because I want to be logged in 23 hours a day, but RL prevents me from that.
Marko Riva Adamant Inc.	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:45:00 - [17] Fantastic game th\at becomes better and better the more effort and interaction you put in. Quite boring if you play it solo/pve. Sometimes you need a break from it but there's none better so you'll come back.
Doddy The Executives IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.14 14:52:00 - [18] 2003 player here and it still amazes me. Alot of that is down to the players as much as the devs. CCP gives the players the tools to do things and the players keep coming up with great ways to use those tools often with consequences the devs never saw coming (the vid of fanfest where they discuss how they saw titans as 3 in game never used superweapons only for players to build hundreds of the things and DD capitals is a prime example of this). This is eves great strength and i thing things like the CSM will mean that strength will continue into the future. The only frustrations i get with the game are when the technology isn't quite there for what the devs and the players want. Even when you have played one facet of eve to death there are so many others to try out with more being added all the time. By the time you have tried them all they have changed/expanded/developed the first so you can go back and try it again.
Bevil Smyth Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2009.10.14 15:00:00 - [19] I have been playing for a while but im currently on a break. Although a break from eve just means i read the forums more and play the game less rather than abandon it completely. The game is ace and its the only one that keeps me coming back after other games have come and gone. My sum up of the game itself: very social, ace in groups small and large not so great solo (same with most mmo tbh) pvp awesome, scary, thrilling, exciting! pve still needs alot of work (looking at you ccp!) and remains a dry experience I fully intend on rejoining the fold properly in a month or two. ============================ 2003 and still alive!
Saietor Blackgreen Capital Construction Research	Posted - 2009.10.14 15:13:00 - [20] Its constantly changing. I'm playing for more than 2 years now - every 6 months they put some aspect of it on its head, and its so much fun to watch it being developed, and whined about, and tested, and whined again, and ranted "eve is dying" again, and then play it after its implemented, and watch it getting fixed, and play it more - and before you know theres another update coming! They just dont do that with other MMOs, for good reasons. EVE is awesome. --- EvE online. New game every 6 months.
Jack bubu Lyonesse. RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.14 15:36:00 - [21] I started shortly before Red Moon Rising, that was 3 years ago. Seeing how they greatly improved eve i can say for sure : The longer you play the better it gets :)
Dominatus Crispus Gallente Nation of Muppets	Posted - 2009.10.14 15:45:00 - [22] love it... my oldest toon is from 2004, my youngest is from, well yesterday. however, i haven't been playing constantly since beta or antying like some others, as with antying in life there are times when i just need to break, but i've been here for best part of the last couple years... i have 6 accounts, and every day i learn something new in eve. great game, great concept, plenty to do... \o/ go cpp...

babyblue	Posted - 2009.10.14 15:50:00 - [24] Six years here, on and off. Gets boring fast but usually return for a while to play with the new toys and mine some more veld.
Doomed Predator Red Federation	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:13:00 - [25] You are aware that if you play longer than 6 months you'll never FULLY quit. EVE never lets go, why do you think CCP talks about world domination so much? They're creating slaves that can handle futuristic weapons and such. The 'Fendahlian Collective' strikes again
Wild Rho Amarr Sniggerdly	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:14:00 - [26] It's a hobby.
Malena Panic Gallente Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:16:00 - [27] I'm coming up to my 4-year anniversary in this game and when I log in it still fills me with awe and wonder. The graphics and music provide a great ambiance and setting to this massively social clockwork device that we all participate in. I've found the trick for me is to keep my fingers in a bunch of pies at once. I've seen lots of friends focus on one aspect of Eve, only to burn out and leave once it got stale. Keep in mind that there are lots of ways to engage with this game, and one isn't necessarily better than another in my opinion. Building a T2 battleship from scratch can be as satisfying as finally conquering that tough complex as winning a PvP battle outnumbered. ... Stealth Bomber changes: a SERIOUS LEGAL ISSUE
N Ano Caldari Zerg Corp	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:17:00 - [28] Its been 5 years and I want to play as much as I did when I started. Totally different game ofcourse but its evolving in a good way. I guess the only reason Ive been playing for so long is because this characer is 2 years old Originally by: Blane Xero SoonÖ. Shortly AfterÖ Iceland Conquers the WorldÖ
Brolly Caldari	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:30:00 - [29] Been playing for 6 years Great thing is, eve isn't stagnant, every year brings new changes. I've had a few breaks, that's a natural part of the MMO cycle though. I still log in and think how cool the gfx are, can't wait until new planets...the new stars look pretty nifty too. Granted, it's not the perfect game, but it has so much depth and variation it's quite phenomenal.
soldieroffortune 258 Gallente Trinity Council Initiative Mercenaries	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:32:00 - [30] Originally by: Kva Plexcha Best. Game. Ever. ~~Sorta~~Definately ^^This However, I do sometimes long to get the same feeling as when I started the game a bit more than a year and a half ago. Back then to me possibilities were endless, I still remember how it felt when I got my first Battleship, thinking they were the all powerful ships, and I couldn't imagine how powerful I would be if I had a CARRIER in my possesion. Now today I realize how clumsy battleships are and how amazingly fragile they are in the wrong hands and not knowing how to pilot them. Also the fact that they couldn't be used for everything. I remember fitting Torps on my Mission Runner Megathron because I saw the sheer damage they do. I then warped to a belt in Teo and shot a frigate rat and did like 2 damage to it, that was one of the game breakers. Then getting my ass handed to me by a Vexor pilot who agreed to Spar with me (Such a nice guy, he didn't destroy my ship) Then you see the game and realize the politics of it all. I remember going into 0.0 for the first time (Mostly Harmless Space at the Time) and thinking about how lawless 0.0 was, thinking that I was just going to encounter roaming gangs of pirates who might chase me, then I had the unfortunate run-in w/ a 0.0 bubble camp and was dead and in a station in my pod before I knew it. It shattered my illusion of an Outer space Version of the Wild Wild West Despite all of this though, you still learn ways to make the game fun. Instead of my dream world of again, a "Wild Wild West in Space" you can now make comparisons to the real world, with the politics and mechanics. Then you realize in EVE, it's alot funner than in real life because your very much so in a better position to affect the way the game develops than trying to change something in the real world. I will be playing EVE till the day the servers shut down, I shall then become depressed for many months afterwards Please re-size your signature to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes.Applebabe
Antiquus Altercor Minmatar Phoenix Propulsion Labs	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:36:00 - [31] The continual, unforced growth and time-based progression makes the game rewarding, while treating me with respect and allowing me to walk away from the game at times when I need to. I think because so many eve players are older with families and other responsibilities most corps have a 'real life comes first' attitude which is needed for those kinds of folks, and the game seems designed to be played by adults - which might explain the grey heads I see not only in the audience in the fanfest videos, but among the devs as well. Gamers as they get older don't stop gaming, and older gamers have the discretionary income to support 6 accounts, something CCP seems to appreciate, and at least in part support in EvE. $56/year for a magazine about the game? $180 models of ships in game? It's pretty obvious CCP has built at least a Mercedes if not a Rolls of a game. To get to the younger crowd with more limited means - oh yea Dust514.
RabbidFerret Bannable Offense. Petition This	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:37:00 - [32] I've been playing since 04 and I consider myself a pretty hardcore fan. I will admit that this game can have moments of boredom, but CCP and their work as a whole is the only company that I think is truly worth my $15 dollars a month.
Ghoest	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:43:00 - [33] As long as we dont have anymore T20 event Ill play a long time. Wherever you went - Here you are.
Rakshasa Taisab Caldari Sane Industries Inc. Novus Auctorita	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:50:00 - [34] Originally by: Ghoest As long as we dont have anymore T20 event Ill play a long time. T20, ferrogel, GHSC, Disband Alliance Button, etc... These are the spice that makes EVE into a truly delicious meal.
Seth Ruin Minmatar Ominous Corp Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2009.10.14 16:52:00 - [35] I've been playing off and on since 2004. Honestly, EVE has the most freedom of any MMO on the market. The problem is, that can be a double-edged sword; you're free to prosper, but you're equally as free to fail. The good thing is, no matter what happens, you can always build yourself up again. As for what keeps it interesting? Well CCP is constantly adding new content and adjusting/tweaking (nerfing) existing content. The game I'm playing today isn't exactly the same as the game I was playing last year, and it's practically nothing like the game I played in 2004. Along with that, the usual 0.0/alliance politics adds some spice (sometimes with a bitter flavor) to the game.
Ghoest	Posted - 2009.10.14 21:23:00 - [36] Originally by: Rakshasa Taisab Originally by: Ghoest As long as we dont have anymore T20 event Ill play a long time. T20, ferrogel, GHSC, Disband Alliance Button, etc... These are the spice that makes EVE into a truly delicious meal. No not at all. Disband Alliance Button - thats cool drama; I love it. T20 - that was devs cheating and getting away with it. Its not at all the same thing. I quit for a year after the T20 deal. Wherever you went - Here you are.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2009.10.14 21:35:00 - [38] Originally by: Ghoest Its not at all the same thing. I quit for a year after the T20 deal. That only proves that you are emo or broke. Been about five years for me and I will keep subbing up for this awesome ever evolving world till the day they shut it down. Some people move to a vacation resort and play golf when they retire. I decided to 'move in' here then go back to 'work' and have been loving every minute of it.

Keflin Geard The Scope	Posted - 2009.10.14 22:10:00 - [41] I had been waiting for this game since Elite - 4 years and it still gives me a massive buzz. Best game so far. What other game would you continue to play after it overwrote your boot file :) Or lost pricy ships to things that donÆt show up in logs.
Abrazzar	Posted - 2009.10.14 22:10:00 - [42] It's great they add a expansion every half year, because after 6 months it starts to get kinda bland and it needs something new to re-ignite the sense of awesome that is EVE (now with Awesomium). -------- Ideas for: Mining
Fille Balle Ballbreakers R us	Posted - 2009.10.14 22:38:00 - [43] Getting close to 2 years now, and I still can't imagine life without it. I just wish I had more time to play But maybe that's why I still enjoy it so much. Who knows. I still find empire pvp mundane compared to 0.0, but I always did. Still, imo the pve content is great, which is all I have time for atm. One beutiful day I'll return to 0.0, and I look forward to it. I love the fact that your character still develops even if you're not playing. Skill queue was a great addition as well. Thanks CCP!
Nordanvind	Posted - 2009.10.14 23:35:00 - [44] I'm a newbie too with just a few days on my back, and all I can say is that EVE feels like a fresh breeze after 5 + years of WoW.
Vincenzo Delloro Amarr Lux et Veritas	Posted - 2009.10.14 23:50:00 - [45] I do need to take breaks from time to time just to keep myself from slitting my wrists, but EVE's great when I'm in the mood. There's so much to do, and so much more to do with each passing year. I like that I can log on and decide to do something that I have never ever done before that day, and that the entry requirements aren't "run this instance for three weeks to get geared up, then wait for your guild leader to put you on the roster." Walking in stations and Dust 514 will be the two things that will give me no reason to ever play any other game. ================================================= Tell me again about how [insert random noun here] has ruined EVE!
Valrandir Elemental Mercury Dystopia Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.15 00:44:00 - [46] Originally by: Vultaras Maybe stupid question, but at this moment as i am newbie , this game is something awesome to me..... But , how do you feel yourself after playing this game for very long time like one year and more? Is it what to discover and what to play, is it still interesting? Thank you for answers. I have been playing since 2003. EvE is the one world to rule them all. EvE Forever! This has surpassed the Yarrdware specification and has been dubbed Uberware.
Cypherous Minmatar Liberty Rogues Rally Against Evil	Posted - 2009.10.15 01:18:00 - [47] 5 Years in and i still love the game itself although i might need to make a change to stop burnout having done pretty much everything i can >.<

Typhado3 Minmatar Ashen Lion Mining and Production Consortium Aeternus.	Posted - 2009.10.15 02:49:00 - [50] Edited by: Typhado3 on 15/10/2009 02:52:05 eve for life. been playing for almost 4 year now. Always finding something new, meeting new people and finding new ways to have fun. or even old ways to have fun. Gotta keep a good balance between the long and short term, you should have a long term plan but don't let it stop you from enjoying the now. Hell eve is what convinced me to be a game designer, ironic as now all the study for game designing is meaning I can't play eve as much as I would like. ------------------------------ Just a crazy inventor ccp fix mining agent missions % pls
Honda Prefect	Posted - 2009.10.15 02:52:00 - [51] the game is like crack, i am waiting for them to do something really stupid to force me to quit. all those that predicted doom of EVE over the years have FAILED. And the coming SOV changes make me want to **** in my pants.
Sandeman Reserve	Posted - 2009.10.15 02:53:00 - [52] I've been playing on and off for around 5 years now. I have quit the game previously for various reasons... 1. Lack of time. 2. Between jobs. 3. Other games. ... but Eve is one I keep coming back to. There are so many ways to play... from mission runner, to PvP, to industrialist, to explorer (though that needs a bit of work IMHO) the game covers all the bases, and if I get a bit jaded and cynical about one aspect, I can always switch to another. The lack of "cookie cutter" skills and gear makes this a winner too. You never quite know what someone's got trained, how what they've got fitted to their ship.

Michus Danether Aristotle Enterprises	Posted - 2009.10.15 08:29:00 - [56] Four years in... Yes, I still enjoy it. There is always something new coming out whenever CCP releases an expansion and even then there are so many ways to play, if I get bored of one aspect of EVE (mission running) I can do another like mining, corp management, market trading etc.

How you deal with this i.e. make an alt, find some neew toys, take a break is up to you. I play much less now after more than 2 years, things start to lose their flavour and other games become intersting again. But EVE is always a good game, and I keep coming back every month or so.

I havent flown everything yet, and until i get all the ships i want, i'll keep paying and playing. /conan voice That and the elementation of the wimmin! /normal voice
Ancy Denaries Caldari The Confederate Navy Forever Unbound	Posted - 2009.10.15 12:02:00 - [65] Best. Game. Ever. At least when taking everything into account. 2,5 year here, and still kicking. No plans on quitting anytime soon. ---- The Demigodess with a Conscience - An EVE IC Blog
Santiago Fahahrri Galactic Geographic	Posted - 2009.10.15 12:29:00 - [66] 4 years here and going strong. Eve has been the only MMO since UO to hold my attention for more than 30 days. ~ Santiago Fahahrri Galactic Geographic
Presidente Gallente Dark-Rising IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.15 12:39:00 - [67] Born 2006 and this game is still thrilling while killing. The problems I see with a great MMORPG like EVE: highly addictive, time consuming, not really made for the serious reallife. I can imagine there are a lot of people ruining their reality and most of the strong guys ruling bigger corps and alliances could be eventually rich in rl if they would invest that energy into an own business. Overall my conclusion is: the day has 24 hours and if that is not enough we play EVE. So say we all!
Captain Vampire Caldari None of us are free	Posted - 2009.10.15 12:57:00 - [68] I feel old. It's kinda cool to be talking about the old days, when vagabonds were frightening, battleship kills were rare and 0.0 was actually inhabited by players. Some of my old lads has stopped playing, but this game got me going. It is something that sticks with you, always lurking to get you back.
Merindan	Posted - 2009.10.15 13:16:00 - [69] 2yrs and will be playing until they close down the server. Best game ever. I take breaks like most people, but they seldom last longer than a week or 2. It's the only game i know where reading about it is almost as fun as actually playing it. It's just so damn interesting..from a lot of different points of view
Sedilis Lead Farmers	Posted - 2009.10.15 13:42:00 - [70] Been playing for 18 month and loving every minute.

Mecinia Lua Galactic Express Burning Horizons	Posted - 2009.10.15 15:21:00 - [75] I've really enjoyed EVE. I came to EVE during the great NGE exodus from SOE's SWG. There were a lot of us that came, I think the population doubled in less than 6 months and is now much larger still. If SOE had never messed up SWG not sure I would have tried EVE.

Traidor Disloyal Private Nuisance	Posted - 2009.10.15 15:51:00 - [76] Any game that can keep me interested longer then 3 months is a good game in my book. I have been playing Eve since August of 2006. I like the different types of ships and what you can load on em. Some people may not like this but I like that it does take a long time to get skills to do things in this game. It makes the game interesting to me. I don't get the feeling of "I have now done everything, bored now". And I do like the people I play with in the game. We are all *****s. I have found like minded people to play with. *********************************************** I have three characters. One has Cov Ops V along with all the bells and whistles that goes with it.
Avoida	Posted - 2009.10.15 16:24:00 - [77] EVE is one of the best MMO's I've played and has been my primary form of entertainment for several years now. Its ever evolving nature; the lack of playstyle constraints; real time skill training; and the overall complexity has made it a far more mentally taxing experience. And much like previous games, the time invested to date does prevent me from even trying other games because I really do not want to start from scratch again.
Ehranavaar	Posted - 2009.10.15 16:28:00 - [78] been here 3 years now and no plans to go anywhere prior to someone shoving my limp body into an oven. skill training plan runs through 2028 barring new skills being added.

Total playtime on the PS3, about 2 hrs inc. setup. Total time spent in EVE, about 48 hrs out of 72 that weekend alone. EVE is still the best game ever imo. Doubt I'll ever completely stop playing.
The AEther Caldari Red Federation	Posted - 2009.10.15 16:57:00 - [81] there is only one other MMO game that is superior to EVE - it's called real life, featuring over 6 billion subscribers and jaw-dropping beauty and complexity barring that EVE is the coolest MMO out there

How many people are going to answer...yeah I've been playing three years and I hated every minute of it. The fact that this game kept 6 year vets and continue to grow in subs, and CCP continue to expand the game with free expansions for such a niche market, makes this game the best Sandbox rpg ATM, and unless something real ground breaking comes out, it will never die.

She is a vicious mistress I can tell ya. But she loves like no other and takes it all away when you ain't faithful LOL.

Billy Sastard Amarr Life. Universe. Everything.	Posted - 2009.10.15 22:22:00 - [93] After 4 years of playing and experiencing most aspects of the game I still enjoy it, even if all I really do anymore is sit around spinning ships in station. I tend to be a little jaded about things at times (eg. most of the shinys that CCP shows during fanfest which, while cool and all, will not likely make it in eve before I am a grandfather), but overall still enjoy the game very much. <-------------------------------------------------> "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein

MobyMule Minmatar PoliCratton Technologies	Posted - 2009.10.16 14:16:00 - [96] I've been playing since June 2005. Best game I've ever played. Most depth of any game I've ever played. Having said that if you find that you get bored it is usually the players lack of finding something to do or just lack of motivation. The game itself is full of opprotunities to have a good time.

Ah, so you're new to the EvE-O forums then? Ha...yeah good point. It's very easy to find three-year players moaning on the forums about how much they dislike (aspects) of the game. But from what I can gather from comments about player retention, if someone enjoys the game enough to continue past three or four months, they are very likely to be here for years.

Soulita Gallente Inner Core	Posted - 2009.10.17 11:28:00 - [100] 5+ years here. My enjoyment of EVE is an up and down curve. Typically i actively play a few months, then take a few months break. Mostly I come back when new content is added. For myself EVE has kept its appeal by the constant work and changes CCP adds. The EVE of today is very different form the EVE of 2004, and the EVE of 2012 will be very different from the EVE of now. As long as CCP keeps adding content and improving the game, I'll most likely continue playing - with occasional breaks of a few months of course...
Kaileen Starsong Amarr Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2009.10.17 11:36:00 - [101] There're a lot of weird and downright badly designed things, but there's nothing better around MMOs, so... That said, generally it's very nice, just don't delve too deep into certain details
Tyler D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2009.10.17 11:48:00 - [102] Fantastic game which at times has been ruined by rather dubious and poor game design decisions.

Vherr Arkhar	Posted - 2009.10.17 14:34:00 - [104] I learned one thing: I am not a pvp person. I just don't get anything out of this hooligan mentality of small gangs or even fleets, and solo is fine until you meet a small gang or camp. Besides that: not enough new stuff pve wise. But I love flying around, maybe doing a mission, maybe some exploring or driving campers nuts... whatever. But really playing, nope - not enough new stuff for pve.
Venetian Tar United Systems Navy Zenith Affinity	Posted - 2009.10.17 14:43:00 - [105] I've been here just over 2 years now, and find myself ship spinning more often than not. Any suggestions to "liven up my game"?

Wolfman The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2009.10.17 16:34:00 - [107] Almost 7 years here. I've been around since the birth of the 1st ships to the death of the biggest. Why do I still play? The "friends" I have made. Many of the orriginal vets are gone. There are times when EVE become very stale and boring, but then you discorver something that you have not done or a ship your have not flown. The trick is finding the things that make you happy in eve. Dust to Dust Dust to Dust Ashes to Ashes
Procurator Ultio	Posted - 2009.10.18 10:47:00 - [108] 3-1/2 years in Eve. One year is not sufficient to know the game. Like real life, Eve has so many things to do, and continues to evolve new things, that you can never run out of opportunities. The first year or two are really just spent getting to know Eve and getting over the early compulsions like the one to sell all your minerals as soon as you mine them or to spend all your ISK as soon as you make it. You can never learn all the skills or experience all the things there are to do because as you train and do things, more new skils and things to do are introduced into Eve. One can easily imagine that in some future we will be building cities on planets in Eve and doing many things that are impossible today. That said, I don't like CCP very much. While they have built a great game and continue to improve it, they also leave bugs unfixed for months and years, leave things like POSs not working very well, and generally have an arrogant, ivory tower attitude that they know all and we're just stupid users keeping their rent paid with our subscription money. Well, maybe they do and maybe we are. I will never forgive CCP for the lame and dishonest way they handled the unsubbed training nerf, for example. But yes, it's a great game... more than a game, really, it's a future universe simulation in which there is no end of things to do, occupations to pursue, etc. In that sense it shares a lot with real life. And, like real life, since it never ends and you can never finish it until you're done and gone, it's very difficult to stop playing Eve once you begin.
Zartanic Red Federation	Posted - 2009.10.18 14:29:00 - [109] I have periods of boredom but that is fine as I can't always play for days at a time anyway. I've not been playing a year but I do have a well defined series of goals which I aim for. One thing I learned is to try everything. I found some things I thought I'd hate quite fun and vice versa. The worst thing a player can do though, I think, is to be always waiting for some skill to finish. Always try and play the game to what you have now. There is a lot of the game to learn anyway at any skill level.
Tarantoga	Posted - 2009.10.18 20:46:00 - [110] Playing since beta (this char was made in 2004) and the game is still great. Well, EVE was often said to be dead in the first years and somehow CCP managed to keep it more alive that all competitors, so I think it will stay a great game for long. Of course, it can happen to every company, that some marketing guys take it over and turn it into something loke SEO. The game still fascinates me and every expansion brings something new to discover / to aim for. I love the idea that there is no level cap and you can keep getting better and better while you learn new skills. You can achieve everything in this game without being limited to a class like in other games, and if you feel bored, you can start learning skills for the ships of another race. Of course, it absolutely depends of the people you play with in your corp. Playing on you own can become boring, but hey, its an MMOG. Sometimes I feel sorry for all noobs in our corp and think that they have a long way to go before they can appreciate some features of the game, but its always better to keep going than to reaching your max level and farming items or something of similar stupidity. But, it has a downside too. I have lost all my willingness to collect experience points by killing mobs and doing quests. When I try an other MMORPG, it only needs some levelups until I loose any motivation to keep playing and I think "WTF, why can't I advance my char while being offline?"
OFFT OFFT FORM LIFE	Posted - 2009.10.18 21:12:00 - [111] I feel Fine thanks :) I play mainly solo ...well if you ignore 2nd account. You can be solo and still immersed in the game. Even after all this time. I play to stay, then I wait to see what changes. I played WOW as well .....but kept the EVE account. The WOW account is now gone. Says more than I can say :) Fly safe and prosper. Or do the other thing :)

Urgg Boolean	Posted - 2009.10.18 21:42:00 - [114] I think the game has problems: - the UI is the worst, most non-intuitive, poorly laid out, arcane piece of garbage I have ever seen in a game. I wish they would pause some of the development and polish, and/or down right fix their buggy, flaky unpredictable excuse for a UI. - many people are nice, but far more have a nasty condescending attitude. I have met players in 0.0 that truly exhibit psychopathic/sociopathic behavior. Dominion's goal is make sure Hi sec people meet all the nasty degenerates in 0.0. What a great plan..... - skills gain is on a geologic time scale, and the "skill queue" is a serious joke (24 hours max). - people applaud the complexity, but I see it as tedium. I like complexity, but I get all the intellectual challenge I need at work. I don't really like having to memorize pointless fact to play a game. It amounts to mental mass turbation. Just give me the pewpew. So, yah - for now, EVE is the only space game worth playing, but I am looking forward to release dates for JumpGate Evolution and or StarTrek. They may suck, if so, I'll keep playing EVE.
cylonick	Posted - 2009.10.18 22:19:00 - [115] Played for nearly 3 years and I think it's become rather stale. It attracts abusive individuals hiding behind anonymous avatars, possibly losers in real life.... CCP seems to be struggling to find a new "wow" factor for the game. I'd rather see some innovation with the game than time invested in some fanfest at the arse end of the earth catering to teenage drunks. What does keep me back is the long term friendships I've made.
Dratic Honour Bound Eternal Rapture	Posted - 2009.10.18 22:36:00 - [116] I've been playing since mid 07 and its a great game. There's lots to do and try out. For me i like there being more consequence in pvp, losing a ship costs you something and makes the kill all the better. Some take the game far too seriously which can be pretty lol. However i can easily see the addiction quite a few players have its a very social and open ended experience.

Powder Monkey	Posted - 2009.10.19 16:30:00 - [119] Actually there are so many ideas i had for the game when i first joined, i thought they would include that in a short time but they le diddnt. That ****ed me off so badly i actually started to pick up a book about programming and am trying to make a little techdemo.
