Eve Addict Seven Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.04.24 01:36:00 - [1] - Quote So... I've 'reinvented' myself over 25 times since starting in 2004. I've been a miner, a somewhat pirate, and I've been around the map in several large alliances. Eve doesn't interfere with my work, or family time. I've always managed fleets around my real schedule by joining alliances that had likewise timed CTA's. I just feel burnt out of eve. I recently got rid of my last toon (forums) but now I seem to find myself browsing the forums again over and over looking at toons.. am I addicted to shopping? or just Eve... lol.
Drunken Bum 129	Posted - 2013.04.24 01:38:00 - [2] - Quote If you dont like something, dont do it. I dont see why this is complicated for so many people. If eve bores you, dont play it. Very simple. If you like it, play it. Spare some change?-á

Came back, learned the changes, and picked up where I left off. Or - Just allow your account to lapse, and walk away. Either way, couldn't be more simple.

Yea that's the problem.. Sometimes I had some really great nights.. and others.. I spent tons of hours in a carrier evacing for alliances. I think with my work schedule it caused most my problems of late. Getting home around 1-2am eastern and no ones on for fleets. I've worked my way around the map alliance wise.. well English ones.

Getting home around 1-2am eastern and no ones on for fleets. I've worked my way around the map alliance wise.. well English ones. So find another corp/alliance that suits your schedule. EVE players are not restricted to one time zone. And don't trash the gear you have. If you've had enough just stop for a while. Come back when you feel the urge, even if it's only a month at a time.
Tank Talbot Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 35	Posted - 2013.04.24 04:31:00 - [10] - Quote Well, admitting that you have a problem is the first step in recovery but no one has written the other 11 steps yet.
Victor Maximus Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 7	Posted - 2013.04.24 04:38:00 - [11] - Quote You sound like me when I quit years ago. I was burnt out, and needed a break. I was playing to much and couldn't sustain it. Take a break, but go with the mindset of a break. Recharge your batteries, let the game evolve a bit, and then return if it still interests you. I personally made it two years before devblogs, patch notes, and forum voyeurism wasn't enough.When I came back, there was a fully revamped FW system, incursions, and a slew of other improvements to play with. It wasn't a new game, but it was some fresh things to do on an old favorite. EVE has a longevity that is so different from any other game out there, a decade old and still gaining steam? Unheard of. Take your break, EVE will be here waiting for you when you get back

Get a 2nd hobby and learn a long skill when you take a break for a few weeks. 2nd hobby can be a different game or some real life stuff, drinking helps too.

Xen Solarus Inner 5phere 391	Posted - 2013.04.24 07:33:00 - [15] - Quote Couple of ideas off the top of my head: Move to a country that doesn't have the internet and/or electricity. Get with a super-hot girl/boy that hates you playing computer games. Lose your hands in an industrial accident. Go blind. Join a cult/religion that thinks games are evil, or refuses contact with technology. Find another game that you like even more than EvE. (impossible) Seriously though, occational breaks from EvE are a good thing. Makes it great again when you come back. Post with your main, like a BOSS!
dark heartt I Own Four Sheep The Methodical Alliance 136	Posted - 2013.04.24 07:36:00 - [16] - Quote Don't quit, take a small break and don't play the game in that time. I did so about a year ago, and came back in retribution. Don't make this game boring and switch around what you are doing.
Penca Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.04.24 07:41:00 - [17] - Quote Change your password to something random that you can't memorize, something like "z^o%Up?Ku3464c=" Change your eve account related email to a new hotmail account with the same procedure. Also, get hired by CCP and then fired for lurking in the ladies restroom. They will prolbably ban you for life.

I kept reading Eve related news.. decided to come back one day. CCP restored my accounts / passwords and biomassed chars! THERE IS NO ESCAPE!

Start by admit you DO like Eve but can't find enough interest to play it all the time, there's no problem with this. Come and play when you feel you're good to, just stop playing and leave when you feel you're bored. Eve is more than just a game, I find my self included in those that play more or less depending on IRL because work, ladie, kids etc so some times I can play an entire month, some times a couple hours a week and sometimes not at all for months but there's this little thing over spaceships that also makes me get back: the relationship build overtime with some dudes/dudettes If you don't have this kind of "relationship", don't like more than that the "spaceships" and space exploring kids dream, then it should be easy for you to just delete Eve folder, stop you sub, and never get back. removed inappropriate ASCII art signature - CCP Eterne
Pepper Mind The Scope Gallente Federation 36	Posted - 2013.04.24 08:19:00 - [22] - Quote I feel with you. I was once addicted to diablo LoD and it ends when my account was hacked and i lost everything without the chance for getting it back. You could trade all your isk, your stuff and everything to me. I will lock them up in my hangar. Everytime you try to begin a new start, you have to tall to me. Pepper
Abditus Cularius Clancularius Industries 170	Posted - 2013.04.24 08:34:00 - [23] - Quote Stop logging in. That's it. If your life is so ruined that a -video game- ...saying that again.... A VIDEO GAME is capable of overriding your self control and best interests, you have far bigger issues than that video game.
Sharon Anne School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 20	Posted - 2013.04.24 09:11:00 - [24] - Quote EVE is a hobby and not just any game you play for kicks. Its a long term affair something that just can not be rushed. Just release your fears and become EVE.
Corey Fumimasa Kiith Paktu Curatores Veritatis Alliance 300	Posted - 2013.04.24 11:10:00 - [25] - Quote I don't understand the question. Is Eve problematic and so you want to quit? Or is it not as fulfilling as it once was but you can't seem to stop logging in and ship spinning anyway? From your OP it sounds like you manage your time and RL well enough. So what is your concern? Why do you feel the need to stop playing? If its because you feel the time is wasted just think of all the mindless television that people watch, or the compulsion to drink alcohol or eat excessively. We all end life the same way, I'm not sure this idea of "maxing" out ones time here is so relevant as the world makes it out to be. Maybe the soul needs these kinds of distractions/impulses/addictions in order to fully develop. Or maybe we are just here for a while and then gone, so do what you enjoy as much as you can while you have the time. As long as you can maintain a good standard of living for yourself and those that you care about while you are here it doesn't really matter how you spend your time. But if you really want to get rid of Eve I think the thing to do is to move. Physically change environments, even a vacation away from where you currently live will help. Otherwise we tend to fall into our same old rituals, which for you sounds like logging into EveO. The other thing you could do is to post your login name and PW on a few forums. That will take the characters out of your hands pretty quickly. Anyway, best of luck. Slavery is self choosen, only the unclaimed are not free. ...Book of Reclaiming: Hall of the Goat
SmilingVagrant GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1614	Posted - 2013.04.25 01:29:00 - [26] - Quote I quit every six months or so. And on the release dates of other games I want to play.

I disagree about the children. If you have small children (toddler, baby) then you don't have a lot of free time and you're always vulnerable to 'kiddus interruptus' so surfing the forums is easier than trying to plan on having an "uninterruptible" block of time to play. Personally, I'm at the point where I pick long training times so I don't have to login more than a few times a month. And yes, I still check the forums. =/ As for advice to the OP, games like Eve are a lot like girlfriends. It's easier to get over your old one when you get a new one.
Zircon Dasher 190	Posted - 2013.04.25 01:56:00 - [28] - Quote Put your character in a Titan. That is a popular route. Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.
Luis Graca 193	Posted - 2013.04.25 01:56:00 - [29] - Quote If you get a bot you should probably stop playing the game forever
Andski GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 7699	Posted - 2013.04.25 02:22:00 - [30] - Quote Burn all bridges with your support networks in-game, destroy all assets. Trade your useful characters for ISK, use that ISK to buy a pile of skillbooks until your wallet is dry and trash the stacks. Biomass, change account passwords, forget them, and remove the client from your PC. mine quotes from my posts at your peril, badposters TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest.
