Edited by: Commander TEK on 15/08/2011 05:11:44 Doing a college survey about why people play MMO's. Please stay on topic.
Why do you play eve? Short and sweet, just a sentence or two.
Ex. I play eve to get away from my wife and kids.
All replies are greatly appreciated. At least semi-serious answers please.

Everyones just trolling CCP until their subscriptions run out, leaving a few new kids and the CCP/Landsbanki bot army to do their thing.

Because despite CCP's best efforts of late, it's still great fun to jump in a ship and go roaming and see what happens.

I don't play EVE. I just post on the forums (and I will probably stop doing that in 1d 4h, too).

Originally by: Eve Angeline I played EVE because I didn't know Rift is such a great game.
Ouch, it actually hurt to read that. eh.. see you back in Eve in a couple of weeks.
I play Eve because its the only game I know that has a direct connection between my real life and my in game life.
I train when I'm offline. I build while I'm offline. I research while I'm offline. I invent while I'm offline. My corp and alliances continues to be at war while I'm offline. I buy and sell stuff when I'm offline. My character essentially lives in the game even when I'm not their to take command over him.
Eve allows me as a player to influence the game through markets, combat and simply through my presence.
No other game I have ever played offers that. In every MMO I have ever played when you log off, you have stopped playing.

I play EVE because:
- I have not found any better alternatives (yet)
- I need some kind of entertainment for the times I'm not out drinking with friends (or working)
- I like to be a prick to other people and laugh at their unhappiness but don't like physical pain so being the Internet Tough Guy is the obvious choice.

Same here. It's a chat room with a spaceship minigame, for me at least.

A very good question and I wish I knew a definitive answer so I'll take a guess. Inertia, having played for over 5 years, still trying to make my first billion, finally get to see what happens when I crack this "Scanning" thing. Some or all of the above, I suppose.

I did have the choice of doing this or pounding my toes with a ball peen hammer, but the hammer was somehow mislaid so I'm forced to do this being denied that alternative.
Actually, I am what is called a "disabled" person. I was exposed to chemicals in the workplace at a time when there was no OSHA, chemicals now EPA only handles while wearing HAZMAT suits. At the time they were modern living's answer to industrial tasks...solvents, insulators and the like. They have now been pulled out of use because they do things to people like...what they did to me.
SO, I'm faced with my day in which I am physically restricted in a very frustrating way. I don't have many choices in how to occupy my time, since I can't stand on my feet for more than five minutes at a time. Rather than developing my thumb to gargantuan size cycling through 152 channels of crap on the Telly looking for something intelligent, I put on some classical music and fire-up EVE.
Now, I don't want no pity party. I'm trusting in the sincerity of your inquiry and thought people in my position should be heard now and then. That's all.
Thanks for asking. |

Because it's fun.
Because it's gorgeous.
Because, with other MMO's, you have to play all the time to get your moneys worth. With EVE, as long as I have a skill training, I'm getting the best deal.

I play EVE because I am forced to by my two wicked step-sisters. They make me mine all night after school.

Why do I play?
Because, truly, I am an anti-social little bugger who just enjoys it. Am not a freak. Am not a nerd. I just found something that entertains me. People find it so hard to get a grip of.
I work full time, I have a normal life but instead of football and television, I like chatting to new people. That aint so bad is it?!
The guilt complex attached to Eve enjoyment is strong in this one.
Bugger.

Because I enjoy it (really simple isn't it?) and because for all its agonizing flaws it remains best in class as far as available options go.
Still working on a master plan to get the missus to play as well. I almost had her nabbed when the new character creator came out but the fact you can only walk around in a single room and a corridor was a definite problem which I've as of yet been unable to resolve.
Oh well ...

let me know how your plan goes i foolishly got the mrs onto wow thinking i could play eve while she happily played wow next to me......it was a fatal error on my part and i ended up losing out on 4 years of eve time as i had to play wow with her instead lol

I like scifi. I like the setting. I like that it allows me to put in exactly as much time as I can afford.
