Bek Thyron	Posted - 2011.03.25 18:54:00 - [1] Sort of a difficult question to ask, but: Do you think Eve Online is transforming into a "lifestyle" ? Mainly asking, because i am doing something atm which i would NOT do for any other game - sitting here and watching the livestream and drinking with two friends. What the hell... (maybe i am just getting old) Anyways, what is your opinion? ** ** Please send me mail if you want to sell big piles of corpses. Must be in mint condition. (space-frozen)
Barakkus	Posted - 2011.03.25 18:56:00 - [2] No, you're just getting old, and perhaps slightly more nerdy. It's not uncommon, most MMOs have a group of people interested enough to watch streams of the developer's annual dog and pony shows. - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

Barakkus	Posted - 2011.03.25 19:15:00 - [4] It's ok, I watch the alliance tournaments like a normal person would watch football - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring
Kesler Laduko Suddenly Ninjas Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service	Posted - 2011.03.25 19:18:00 - [5] It's not just a game for me. It's a stress ball, and I just LOVE to squeeze it.

It's not uncommon, most MMOs have a group of people interested enough to watch streams of the developer's annual dog and pony shows. well, CCP said time and time again that they intended to create a sci-fi simulator and not just a spaceship game. --- Quote: The more I know about humans, the more I love animals. ain't that right.

They did? What exactly did they say?
Milla Jovobitch	Posted - 2011.03.25 19:29:00 - [8] Originally by: Bek Thyron Do you think Eve Online is transforming into a "lifestyle"? Eve almost killed my career. I spent less time at work than I spent with Eve. This is true. Then I joined the Podpilots Anonymous, and their 12-step program helped me become a person again. Now I play 1, max 2 hours per day. Had to quit doing 0.0 campaigns, though, and had to find my way into a corp where everyone is a bit older and many have families.
Toshiro GreyHawk	Posted - 2011.03.25 19:37:00 - [9] Wellll ... a sim it's not ... though maybe they said they wanted to be like *The Sims* (think Walking In Stations) ... I'd buy that. I mean ... WWII Online was a sim ... IL-2 ... is a sim ... EVE ... is not a sim. Gaming - is a hobby. Lots and lots of people spend inordinate amounts of time on their hobbies ... Yes - I supposed you could say that these hobbyists have a life style related to their hobbies ... but then everyone's got a life style ... and most people have hobbies that are part of it. shrug .

They did? What exactly did they say? back in... 2008 I think? when they started to get more serious about Incarna. Basically, they want EVE to be a complete Sci-Fi world simulation, and... more can't remember cuz this was some time ago. but I definitely remember Oveur saying something on those lines. --- Quote: The more I know about humans, the more I love animals. ain't that right.
Zoggin	Posted - 2011.03.25 20:18:00 - [11] not so much EVE changing into more than a 'game' but alot of games are changing! all games have changed to try and be more than just another game, especially with online play

IIRC they repeated this at least once a year since EVE was first announced. I can't check at the moment but i think it's even in the preview of the game from an issue of PC Zone Benelux from 2000.

vulnevia Rhyming Space Whores	Posted - 2011.03.25 20:41:00 - [13] Bah, I'm sitting here by myself, drinking beer =) And I've watched ally tournaments drinking beers with eve-ppl or by myself. Sure, EVE is more than a lifestyle, but most of us love it.
Kalle Demos Amarr Helix Protocol	Posted - 2011.03.25 21:19:00 - [14] There needs to be a scale that measures how nerdy a person is, someone make one and post it, I wanna see what I get . Im not Bismaru, im better!
Sturmwolke	Posted - 2011.03.25 22:47:00 - [15] Nope, nothing's changed. EVE is a job (which you just haven't noticed). When it's a job, it's already part of your life.

Unfortunately won't happen until 90% of the people I meet that have heard of EVE stop saying "I tried that game once, I played for 3 months and got tired of mining so I stopped." Couple of people in the clan I just joined mentioned that on mumble when I brought up EVE lastnight lol. - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

Vogue Short Bus Pole Dancers	Posted - 2011.03.26 16:42:00 - [18] Does EVE has press gangs? .................................................. Fortress Of Solitude
Erichk Knaar Caldari Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:47:00 - [19] Eve is the only game I've played for 8 years. Make of that what you will...
Talanayaa	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:57:00 - [20] Originally by: Bek Thyron SRS QUESTION: Is Eve transforming into something other then a game? Yeah, it's transforming into a piece of ****. Can I have your rl stuff btw ?
