I have come and gone from Eve a few times. My work generally picks up in the summer and so I have to scrub Eve from my machine and move on. I have tried on occasion to leave Eve during slow times and the way that generally goes is that I remove it from my computer and then reload it 2 or 3 days latter =-P.
Do I spend too much time playing Eve? Yes probably.
Would I be doing something more productive if not playing Eve? Unlikely lol. I tend to play Eve instead of doing things that are unpleasant but will need to be taken care of eventually. But eventually I end up taking care of those things, and if I wasn't procrastinating with Eve it would be something else.
I smoked while I was in the navy, the ship pulled in and I checked out on terminal leave and never had so much as a craving to smoke another cigarette. In a few months we are moving, I am very curious if my desire to play Eve will fade in the same way that my desire to smoke did.
Time will tell.
Are you here against your will or better judgement? Is the time that you devote to Eve well spent? Would you stop playing if you could? I love Eve and enjoy the time spent with people here, some of my greatest memories are from MMO's even though I have been around the world and seen many strange and wonderful things. How about you?
Just a funny question that came to mind reading Vilnius' post in one of the current threads.

I quit after the Summer of Rage (well at the beginning of SoR). Came back very late Crucible because my spaceship friends were all, "ohemge way better now".
You can always try to quite, but like great *******, EVE is a cruel mistress.
Edit: WOOOO **** yes first ever 1st post. I expect great things to become of this thread. |

For many, EVE is like the Hotel California.
I quit every year for a few months when there is better stuff to do outside.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

Im just waiting for governments to catch on.
Then they will list EvE as an addictive substance and then probably tax us for the pleasure of using it.

I really haven't played in about a year but kept my account going. Been plexing it for the past few months but with no income my modest wallet is running dry and I have no interest in paying with cash just to keep a skill queue going. I think I'll throw in the towel once my time runs out next week or so and if I do come back I will have at least enough to get going again. 
I would make a sig but it would frighten and offend you. |

The only way to truly quit EVE is to make CCP permban all your accounts, and even that won't stop you...

I would not say i have tried to "really" quit EVE.. But i have had breaks 
Longest break was just now before x-mas when i realized i was in null-sec (hbc) and EVE had stopped being fun.. I left in september, but was back in january/february, left "dull-sec" for greener pastures in lo-sec and whoops i was back in EVE on a daily basis :)
The problem for me is that EVE is what i always dreamt about.. imo im born a few thousand years to soon

Am totally addicted. I unsubbed about 10 of my accounts during the summer of love, and tried to let go of my 2 "main" accounts, but failed miserably.
Now I am resigned to death parting us.
And yes, I play Eve when I shouldn't be, and RL stuff gets procrastinated (though eventually done).
(Probably as a escapist) I believe Eve helps me tolerate and survive this totally absurd existence.

I left shortly after the Jita riots from a mixture of burnout and annoyance with CCP.
Was gone for about six months while I played other games, I was still interested in the game though and came back when I heard there were good changes six months later.

What do you define as quit? I played way too much during the months of November and December and decided to take a "break." All I did from January to about two weeks ago was log in once every few dains to update my training. Now I'm back to playing. Was what I did "quitting"? I don't know.
I think I did this about two days after I did level 1 missions for 8 hours straight.

I quit once for a year and a half. That was about 7 years ago. Took a few breaks from the game but miss it far too much. Its so much a part of my life now and for good or bad I think itll stay that way for as long as its around.
Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak.

You never truly quit Eve like you would quit WoW or GW2 or something. You may uninstall it for a bit or just let your sub lapse or even just not play and let your queue continue, but you never REALLY quit Eve.
Ever notice wondering about how Eve is doing when you're on hiatus? Every time you see a cool-looking sci-fi movie, you always think, "Eve should be made into a movie...it would be the greatest sci-fi movie of all time". You still read the books. You still watch the vids on Youtube. You still check on the game every time an expansion is released to see if you wanna come back.
No, you never truly quit Eve. You may unsub or uninstall the game, but you never really quit Eve. Eve isn't just a game, it's an entire world filled with mini-societies. Eve is reality dressed up as a video game, and you can't quit reality unless you off yourself. Many people hardly play the game anymore, yet they're still CEOs and alliance bosses...hell just look at the whole Mittens fiasco. He didn't even log in anymore and he was elected to the CSM.
No, friend...you can never truly leave Eve. Eve will be with you forever. |

Yes, but I don't know how to get in touch with those people. Doesn't really matter anyway, I was just kind of curious as to how people still in the game felt.

Old saying: "Nobody really quits EVE. They just go AFK for a while."
I guess you actually have to die to quit EVE. I've 'quit' like three times now. |
