Nah. Offline skill training is glorious.

So I ask this question more so out of curiosity then anything.

Have any of you been affected by events in real life from your eve addiction?

Such as wife leaving you etc, losing your job from taking to much time off work to play eve?

Weekends are now spent indoors playing eve etc.

This isn't WoW. I hope Eve players are smart enough not to lose their job/life/wife because of a damn game.

Nope. My eve habit is healthy. My forum habits are a mess though.

EVE hasn't affected my real life, but I'm starting to lose all my steam and xbox live friends because I neglect pretty much every single other game.
Actually now that I think about it, my family might be worried about me. I'll go outside and check, assuming I can navigate through these piles of cheetoh crumbs, red bull cans, and dorito bags.

*Edit* I went outside and my family called the police, they thought I was an intruder. That really puts thing into perspective, but I have to .01 some orders now.

Weekends are now spent indoors playing eve etc. - do not tell me you go outside, case you have not notice there is a giant nuclear reaction thing going on that will harm you if you expose yourself to it, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun
you can also check this out by going outside, but dont worry, it is only there half of the time so you can go to the store and stuff

hubby approves, and likes watching

Well, your husband is a real cool feller...

now keep it PG will you

A sturdy chain solved that problem long ago.

My wife and I have an understanding.

I pay the bills > I get to do what I want.

She makes the food > When she tells me to jump I ask how high.

us super space kitties would like you to give a class! lol My hubby still thinks hes he in charge of a few things, he needs a little "training"!!!

He just saw this and said as long as the lab and production lines are open, hes fine with whatever I want... maybe he does get it? He made a dirty Eve reference!! Im so proud!!!!


Space kitties ftw

What is "real life"?

I was late to work once...stupid aggro timer

Also, my wife is cool with it...I made the toon look like her (minus the bitchin face tat). Its sounds stupid to a guy but that **** actually works on women.

Ever noticed if you take the word life and remove the f you're left with a lie?

Things that make you go hmmmm.

I think my wife would leave me if I was not a gaming geek, she likes mmorpg's more then I do!!

Turn the TV off, OP. That crap will rot your brain.

"According to Nielsen Media Research's latest report, the average American household watches 8 hours and 15 minutes of television in a 24-hour period". I'm pretty sure Europeans Tv viewing habits come close to US stats. Funny people are complaining gamers spend to much time playing.

From when I first started playing EVE I turned a lot of on-line friends into RL friends through alliance meet ups in the UK and a few FanFests. Had a couple of corpies visit and stay with me a few times and spent a few months travelling around Europe and the US visiting friends I made through EVE Online.

I met my husband at FanFest, moved to Iceland, got a job at CCP and had several friends who I made through EVE at my wedding <3

I would say EVE has had quite a big impact on my life the last few years

EVE has a near-zero minimum time commitment. If this game is "******* up your life", the problem lies in you 100%.

This isn't WoW, custom built to suck every possible hour away once it grips you with raids and dailies.

Eve fixed my RL finances... seriously

Before eve I would go out a lot to restaurants, bars, concerts, strip clubs, etc. Had all my credit cards maxed out, then Eve came by and for $10/month it consumed all my free time to the point every month I found myself with enough spare cash to pay big chunks of my debts

I'm still paying off 10+ years of drunken sailor expenses but now I got a great credit score

Plus it is a haven for disaffected damaged people.

not everyone makes isk as efficiently as others to fund their pvp

Well my gf really used to hate eve, and after 8 years or so of playing, im starting to understand why she's been this pissed
(what can i say, im a slow learner).

At least these days i dont log in a lot, wich leads to the question really. Why the heck do i have a active sub still

Why a successfull life should always be to have a boyfriend/girlfriend, to get married, have a family, a very busy social life, an important job and a huge credit on the car and the house?

Eve is a hobby. I still go to work, pay the bills, make dinner for the husband and go on trips. Then its great to combine trips and eve (eve Vegas). It's what I do with my free time. My coworkers are calling out of work because of football games and raging over their fantasy teams but I'm the weird one who people would suspect has no life because I play a video game.

It's just life op. People will find another way to ruin it if that is their thing.

lol girls on the internet. stop kidding around.

I don't have a GF anymore because I was playing eve a lot a year ago, but I think I played eve so much then because she was treating me like ****, and I had no other outlets. When you have other things to do, all "eve addition" causes is a lost 15 bucks a month per toon and a few mins a week or so putting new skills on your que.

I blabber to my girlfriend about how wormholes work and what not and she just smiles and nods and puts her head back in her kindle. She thinks I'm talking to her when I'm talking to my corp mates lol, makes for interesting conversations about how my choices of "ganking that noob" is ethical.

All in all, Eve is a great hobby for me and my GF would much rather me be a nerd than at the bars all night with my buds. I prefer the relaxed nerd lifestyle now that I'm out of college and work full time.

Ha. My wife always says atleast I know hwere you are, you're not out with some bimbo.

I once had a girlfriend who would say that, then one night I found her with another woman.

Short answer, a sense of security and social fulfillment derived from the persuit and maintaining of such endeavors. Normally I try to avoid this subject though because usually materialistic breeders tend to play the hater card if one calls them on their superficial and affluent lifestyles (or attempts to maintain the outward illusion of one despite a lifetime of resulting debt).

Played Eve 3 years, got shitcanned regularly by the wife about it.

Introduced her to facebook.

Now I do what I damn well please.... Proof that FB does have it's uses.

I met my boyfriend, got an apartment, and now have a decent standard of living.

Thanks Eve Online!

(also, I pretty much have the world's best job!)

No... not yet... You have to make "them" paint the entire department pink and then you're entitled to present that comment again.

how do you know it's not pink yet?

plenty of pink things on my desk at least!
most of these items have been given to me by nice people

So you found her with another woman, and did not even ask to watch or join in?
