ive been playing eve for over 2 years.. I started a miner.. I stayed a miner.. I still am a miner at heart.
sad I know.. From 1 account using a punisher to mine In tash Murkon prime.. ive expanded my ranks to now 6 accounts. 1 fully fledged pvp character caldari speced.. cepter 5 assault frig 5. hac 5 BS 5 etc etc.. course i only use him to tank spawns so i can mine with the rest of my team in barges =)..
So here i am 2 years later.. still playing.. possibly harder then ever. when i set out I average 100+ mill an hour income Mining with basicly no problems..
I bought a Dreadnaught today.. jumped it around low sec... as a play toy....
Ive mined enough Veldspar by myself to Finally refine enough Trit to make it roll over a stack.. 2.14billion trit =)
ive Been part of a team who has put up 2 outposts by ourselves.. Oh how i love refinery's in Crokite/bisto rich systems 
ive helped put up and maintain/operate over 20 POS's from defenses to tech 2 production chains ...
I once mined for 48 hours straight minus Downtime.. (help me)
Ive got level 4 agents.. done the whole agent runnin bit for a while.
lived in a few places... Empire.. Tash murkon prime majorly.. Up in Delekin for a bit.. and For a long long while down in paragon soul under Stain alliance.. Stain empire.. and now under Tribal souls.. Guess you could say i like the place =)
On a scale from 1 to 10. Id like to say ive accomplished an 8 out of stuff to do in game.
The only thing i really havnt done is been a leader of an alliance. or Fly a Titan. both of which are a bit out of reach of my "Teams"(ie. me) reach right now. but hey i can keep working.
Ive pvped when needed... and then when it wasnt needed at all. Money isnt an issue with me anymore so i dont have to ever look at Eve as a Grind more of a waiting game for my skills to train.. or for me to aquire a new goal.
I dont want to gloat here.. these are just my experiences in game... I play hard and look go go above and beyond which I feel i have, being that I do most of the stuff by myself (my accounts).
So I look out to any of you other Crazy gamers.. Nuts.. loones... eve-addicts.. For stuff that you have done to find some fun in this huge game. I would like to try new things.. Maybe change up my game time some.. Who knows.. I just dont like to not have goals besides like zomg 555 billion isk etc etc.. thats a grind.. not a goal =)
Well thanks for taking the time to read my late night.. Im an eve player post..

I dunno..Sponsor new people? Be able to make any ship, counting the BPO/BPC and the materials. Make a Titan, even if you can't use it. Use BCs to spell out your name in Jita, just to make it more laggier? Try and make a pure wall of shuttles?

yeah, set up some competition.
Or! just take a stack of, say 2 billion, go to empire, and start deviding it to everyone you see. And don't forget about me 
Or try to go build your own outpost...

 Start buying up all the stock of everyone everywhere and become a banking mongurl. But really 6 accounts? No life?

Yeah thats bound to happen if you have 6 accounts. In effect, you are playing the game six times faster than most other people.
Oh and btw, if you been doing everything by yourself (with 6 accounts) then you have missed out on the most important thing in EVE - teamplay.

Let's see... 6 accounts... and a knack for mining. You apparently loved the game so much you'd be willing to spend ... let's do the math, shall we?
$14.95 per month x 6 accounts = $89.70 (per month)
And you're quitting right after this is posted.
Yeah. . . nobody sees a connection THERE . . .

hmmm..
Played the same amount of time as you do.. thought I was bad...
I have 1 account.. the thought of getting another DID occur, but that would mean that I would have to play 2 accounts.. ARG, can't do that..
I have presently about 5-6 mil. 2 days ago I had 135 mil. 2 days before that I had about 5-6 mil, see the pattern?
Of the above money, I bought myself 3 125mm rail II's, and 1 10mw AB II. The rest I gave away to friends and those in need..
I sit outside noob stations and bait them.. I get LOTS of kills that way.
I give the above noobs 250k each.
I challange people to random duels.. I sometimes win. More often I lose. I always have fun.
I have been gatecamped(BOOM)
I have been sniped(heh that tickles)
I enjoy my time in eve.. I do NOT grind(which is what you have done.. 6 accounts all mining = grinding.)
Lose 5 of them accounts, take your lowest one and go have some FUN. get in a group, and just fly around. Sometimes chasing a vagabond though low sec space (and of couse NOT catching him cuz the sucker moves at 4000+ m/s) is great fun.. sometimes being blown up is fun. And always help out someone.. give a noob advice, help him/her out, give them a bit of cash, and guess what, when they get 'big n' strong' they will do the same, and eve will just become more popular. Sitting by yourself in some random hidden area is anti team play. You, in my eyes, are a isk farmer, but lucky for you, are not a macro.

Dude, 6 Accounts!!! FOR 2 YEARS!!!
No wonder you are starting to feel a bit melancholy with the game. What do you honestly expect?
Try quitting for 6 months, and taking up a hobby that gets you as far away from your computer as possible, and you'll begin to realise that if you just had one account and played a bit less, the time you do spend will be more enjoyable.
Well thats my view on things - that beyond a point extra time spent playing computer games results in diminishing returns of enjoyment.
Just the sheer financial commitment you've made to this game is rather disturbing from my perspective, but hey! It takes allsorts :)

I've gotten 3 promotions since I've been playing. I found a girl dumb enough to marry me and am planning the wedding (who am I kidding, she's planning the wedding :P). I've started my own business on the side and am planning on another one. I've visted 3 continents, and have trips planned this year to visit them again. I've bought a house, a car, and am saving for my retirement (only 30).
So, yeah. There's a lot of goals you could have. Just depends on where the priorities. :)

Very nice post and interesting read.
You obviously pointed at one of the major flaws of EVE though: multiple accounts for a single player. That's a single factor amongst others why EVE will never be a decent PvP game.
Not everybody likes to have the same chances as the others I guess.

Found your own puppet corporation and have it battle your enemies you cannot touch due to corporate restrictions with whatever you consider is your core, be it financially or in direct combat by proxy or personal.
That or set up some obscure roleplaying unit and finance these hardcore nutcases.

Seconded. We are available atm, btw 
What I would do in your position is buy some neet ships and start pvping like a madman. Oh yes.
Well, I hope you find something that succeeds in keeping your interest in EVE.

you can buy all the HACs bpo and start selling them at the right price...
or, you could also do some very nice events like pvp championships, races, cooking tournaments... and give big nice rewards.
