I average 2-3 hours a night, 3-4 nights a week. Is this enough time to accomplish anything?

From what I'm reading big group PVP requires too much prep, organization, and consecutive gameplay for me to do it. Small PVP wolf packs might be an option. Missions seem doable other than the fact that I'm rarely able to get the time bonus, and once in a while I lose one entirely because I take too long to accept. Mining seems doable if not for being less exciting than watching paint dry.

So I guess my question is, with EVE being the type of game where you get back what you put in, is my limited time enough to get a good return or am I destined to spend eveturnity trailing behind the curve?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, good info and inspiring. I used to run around in DF but once my play time was reduced I got pretty far behind the curve which greatly impacted my gameplay so I was concerned.

You'll probably never be as 'successful' at Eve as some of the autistic, unemployed, basement dwelling neckbeard virgins that make Eve their life and take it super seriously (sup PL), but you can definitly be viable if you find your niche.

Different 'big groups' have different approaches to PvP, and expect different things from their members. For example a lot of groups that consider themselves to be 'elite' will have what they call a CTA or Call To Arms, which is a compulsary fleet that you have to go to. They'll set all ratting taxes to 100%, they'll fine you for not turning up, they'll generally do everything possible to suck the fun out of the game for you. But there are many major alliances that would never do such a disgusting and terrible thing to their members. I don't think any members of the CFC/Honeybadger bloc have CTAs.

So you just have to find a group of players that respects the fact that you have a life and that Eve is a game that should be fun.

there is no curve.

If you play enough to enjoy yourself, what else is there to accomplish?

This is a game.

Your goal is to have fun.
