What I enjoy about these types of threads is seeing the different aspects of a sub-set of the game I will never ever be part of as I enjoy parts of the game others will never ever be part of by simple collusion of playtime/mentality/interests and affiliation
After 8 years of being here, I have seen how EVE is an amazing melting pot of extremely well defined regional, political, social and economical self imposed boundaries that mutate in game to create new wholes or perpetuate said boundaries creating marvelous constructs of entities that are fascinating, from a certain perspective, read and see about.
The Metagame and the social intricacies within it are so vast and complex and so based on human perceptions, thus flawed from the start in my opinion, that EVE from an outsider-¦s view ends up being a highly different game depending not only from the region you are looking at it, but even timezone, day of the week, month or specific hour, only adding spice to the wonderfully wrought mesh chain that is eve.
Reminds me of the old saying a teacher used to tell my class regarding perceptions, when studying human figure drawing tests.
"No matter how hard you look at that wall, you will never be able to see how it looks on the other side, unless you go to the other room, and even then, you will stop seeing the previous wall" . Kinda loses a bit of the force of it when translated and out of the context, but that's how I feel , when reading this or that news site, this or that thread, or this or that forum regarding eve.
So alien, yet so close, so unknown yet so predictable.
A game that after 8 years still remains mysterious, simply because of the people and player driven content and the profound feuds that spawn within it.
Most games after 1 year remain the same , eve is always evolving, always in flux, beyond the crap ui, lame graphics and spreadsheets and awful menus and repetitive mind melting station music.
The Flux , the Chaos, the Drama and the way people move and react to it is always fresh, despite containing the same basic elements over and over.
This game is simply marvelous.
