I have contacted my lawyers, (Gank, Greef, and Sployt) with regard to the deploral effect CCP Games' "Eve Online: Exodus" has had on my life.
Since 11th May 2003 I have been addicted to this game. My solicitors and I feel there should have been a warning on the Eve-Online: The Second Genesis box about the seriously addictive nature of this product and the lack of warning is the major reason for this lawsuit.
Despite many frustrations and disappointments with Eve Online, some unknown substance keeps me coming back for more. I've lost friends, lovers, weight, and my tan to this game and I am seeking full compensation through the courts.
You'll be hearing from my lawyers soon, CCP.

As for its addictive nature yes im hooked but wont be taking legal action - more like voting for Eve to be made game of the year for 2005 for Multiplayer online games.

I'll join in, not only too much time in-game, but it also promotes me spending many hours out of game for eve-related 'goodies' (movies and whatnot).
I would also like to say that EVE has been culturally one of the best experiences ever. I have never interacted with so many culturally diverse people before and it has definetly enhanced and broadened both my views and communication skills. I 'could' never leave the US and still visit many countries around the world.
Simply amazing.
I am sueing as well

If your being serious there was something somewhere on the box that said, may be addictive or something like that....
If you kidding thats funny and I agree with the above you wouldnt show up for court because you would be playing eve

Sadly I have already filed and lost a similar case with CCP a while back. My law firm (Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe) put up an excelent suit but were ultimately defeated by the small, but legible, warning already on the box. A similar suit is planned as the online download of the game does not contain this warning.

I can't believe there're people who think this is for real. Just too funny .
Although I hold no doubts about the fact that some day, a loser will sue CCP for some weird and pathetic reason.

Ok so can I sue for not being given an even shot at becoming a MOD? I have proof I suffer from Short Term Selective Memory Loss, and as far as I know my record here is clean. I have not had a single ban.
Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug!
Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.

Actually the hand movements and the fact that they say stuff like "these are not the droids you are looking for" are just added to make it look better on film. Jedi powers are actually kinda boring to watch - a jedi fight consists of 2 ppl standing still and then 1 dies, very boring to watch.

If you are really addicted, so much that you just can't quit playing without help.. get yourself perma-banned. It'll work like forced rehab, it's very effective

After 10 secs or so of thinking about it, I said I would give the game up for a while . . . . apparantly I took to long to answer so I will be playing Eve a bit more for the next few days.
Do what I do........ lock her in the cupboard under the stairs untill she sees the error of her ways, alternitivly you could get her a laptop and itroduce her to ebay, this keeps my girl occupied for hours at a time, just make sure her Credit Card has a low limit

Maybe we should add a warning to the sign-up page... "WARNING: Eve-Online is not gf friendly"

I have contacted my lawyers, (Gank, Greef, and Sployt) with regard to the deploral effect CCP Games' "Eve Online: Exodus" has had on my life.
Since 11th May 2003 I have been addicted to this game. My solicitors and I feel there should have been a warning on the Eve-Online: The Second Genesis box about the seriously addictive nature of this product and the lack of warning is the major reason for this lawsuit.
Despite many frustrations and disappointments with Eve Online, some unknown substance keeps me coming back for more. I've lost friends, lovers, weight, and my tan to this game and I am seeking full compensation through the courts.
You'll be hearing from my lawyers soon, CCP.
Your body is slowly being sucked into this nice game, soon your hole organisme is digested by EVE and the only way you can communicate with the real world is by morsing or something, or let all phones in the world ring at the same time....okey, seen too much Lawn mower man

I have a theory that I am not certain anyone wants to try: introduce GF to EVE.
Risk: GF gets addicted and you'll only see her in game and speak to her over TS.
Granted that you'll probably spend a lot more time "together"

It's not good for your ego if you have to tell enemies to leave you alone otherwise your gf will come and take care of them.

You know, i've been playing this game called Real Life for a while now. I've found that the graphics are nice but that's where the entertainment factor stops. All these boring repetitive tasks you gotta do over and over again like eating, working, and sleeping (in game they suggest 8 hours... doing nothing but laying there. i think they're nuts!). And now they seem to have some requirement to 'socialize' and everyone's nuts about some new feature called a gf, but to be honest it's all so terribly far beyond me. So I've pretty much given up on the game, but i must be addicted or something. I get kinda weak when i haven't played it for a few days, my vision blurs and i start to lose hours at a time without realizing it. Lost some good stuff to this happening too. Also, recently i've started to hear voices while i'm warping around places and chaining spawns... maybe be that new implant, gonna pull that thing out if this keeps up. maybe it's just that sandwich i had last week? Need to get a shrink and look into curing myself of this addiction. hmm, more voices now. ohh another respawn, gotta go!
P.S. I'd avoid this Real Life thing if i were you it's hard to get out of your system.
