I had left EvE because I ran out of things to do and left in search of a game that better fit my short play times(kids).
I missed EvE's long term goals, single shard and meaningful game play.
So I asked CCP for short activation to see the changes.
I am a member of a good corp that is active in a lot of area's but here has been my experience.


Day 1 I log in and get my stuff together and move to my corps new empire AO, and red frog the rest(thanks)
I grab a new destroyer and figure to do some missions... Well I can only pull level 1's and that is no fun(not that 4's are). so do few and release i have no intention of grinding that faction. I did a few with a newbie corp mate.

Day 2 a buy a WH fit, and do a level 4 WH. Got say it was boring. Every encounter was known and scouts made it feel fairly safe. The corp had it down to a fine science. I locked tags and the biggest task was not forgetting to orbit or swap targets while reading the internet.

Day 3 real life

Day 4 I went out to 0.0 on a small pvp roam. all I had was tackle but that is fine. made about 20 jumps and only ever managed to gank a drake and a couple noob ships in 4h of play on different gates.

Day 5 more pvp on a gate camp in cloakie ships....no real fights. We ganked or ran.

Day 6......I played another game.

WIthout any real goal or objective to work towards.....i had nothing to do.
Once you have ISK and skills and your corp is well set up.....what do you do?

I mean I felt i did most of things in eve. how am i to get sucked back in? I don't need isk. What am i to work towards when i log in. What fun game play can I do during my log in period?

I mean sure there are corp goals but sitting on a random gate didn't really feel all that helpful.
There is much to love about eve but entertaining game play is just not there. Give me a goal to work towards and make it fun.
I expect to get flamed but won't reply because you can't post after your account expires but I will read.
(3bil isk and 50mil skills all sub cap...so not super elite but can do anything non capitol related))

-some perma noob who was looking for some fun.
