I love playing EVE. I keep quitting but, in the words of Al Pacino, "Just when I think I've escaped, it pulls me back in". (Or something like that.) Trouble is, as a reasonably senior Exec in a global Corp in 'real life' - and having a young family and other 'real' responsibilities that middle-age brings - I don't have a great deal of spare time - and I certainly can't plan it around EVE.
Question: Am I alone in this? Is there anyone else who is in the same situation and wants to share game advice? If not, I'll just sail off into the sunset and leave New Eden for the under-[insert key demographic here].
Thank you for listening. |

Truly encouraged by responses ... many thanks all! General thread appears to be to keep EVE for an escape into something more simple which I guess I already felt but was getting frustrated as there's still so much EVE opportunity and so little time. Really pleased. Thank you. |

Like many of you I've been at it since the TRS80/Apple II era, and still live like a big kid watching anime, Star Wars and Doctor Who, much like I did back in the 70s.
... and it was searching for 'Elite' that brought me to EVE around three years ago. The ZX Spectrum was the platform of choice for me in the '80s - and Elite was truly awesome (even if docking was frustrating).

Some real blasts from my past coming up here too. Titan, Car Wars......I still hanker for "Lunar Jet Man" or "Starglider" from my ZX Spectrum days on occasion.
'Luner Jet Man' ... happy days! |
