I have been playing nearly 10 years and would feel too guilty to stop the training.
Current Skills: 363 (Skill Points: 160,507,697)
I have done nearly everything in this game, from mining in 2004 with frigs and cruisers...
to being part of an 'alliance' in querious before there were game mechanics to make it official...
to being a major person in a founding corporation of what became, at the time, a top-5 alliance (i was a recruiter, a director, and eventually CEO)...
ran my own industry 'hub' from a POS, making nearly 10b a month without undocking much at all...
dabbled in WH's where i became too terrified to move, and thus left...
to low sec PvP with some npc corp nubs, who really are the funnest people i have played with in more than 8 years... most of them have played less than 6 months, and are awesome.
BUT, i have also had some downsides.
I have been ganked multiple times carrying things, once in an AFK occator, the guy used over 30 fully insured ravens (back when insurance on a raven was a profitable loss), and once in a 1B+ pod, and another time in a 3.5b isk CNR... i could have rage quit at any of those times, and didnt--very nearly, but didnt.
I lost my first BS in 2004 hours after i built it (i spent months saving for it). i DID quit then, but came back with a bit more determination.
I have seen the best of EVE, and the WORST of it--including the people in it. I have flown every race of ship in every security of space, and ran every mission there is (including the Cosmos), mined every rock, built everything up to capitals, ganked, griefed, explored...
and every day, i still feel like i dont know enough about EVE...
so i keep playing.
The trick is, that playing eve is not about ease, or pleasure, or 'fun' in the traditional sense, EVE is ... about learning things, about growth, about grief and moving on--it sets childish things asside and makes you deal with the harshness of existing in a world full of very dangerous people. The funny thing is, it's terribly easy to become one of those terribly dangerous people, and justify what you are doing with good intentions.
I used to feel a terrible guilt for PvP ... like a theif, a murderer, a low life.
Then i met the Scope PvP group, and used all these years of what i know in EVE to help some new people, to pvp a little, to lose a LOT of isk... and i grew. I ended up having no problem with pvp, and justified it by ... havign fun with friends. I wasnt EVIL, i was helping!
... and that's sort of when i realized, when i got ganked for a 3.5b loss, that... they were only trying to help me.
So, i stayed. I have to, if i dont, my personal growth stops.
So, thanks EVE, for makin me feel too guilty to stop training...

The harshness of life in New Eden makes real life look like a doddle! Even though it's just a game, it kind of puts things into perspective IRL once you start thinking of it as another mode of living. |

My first couple of years as a solo player confirmed for me that masochism is not a mental problem but a valid way of living with an extended period of shoddy treatment, abuse coming from every direction without any specific enemy to locate and resist leaves only response as an option. All you can do is paint a target on your forehead and embrace the worst the environment can throw at you. Eve rewards this richly. The latter couple years have shown me that anything can be fun with the right company, even mining or burning structures. There really are people out there who are gratified by sharing their insight or by brightening your day with joy and malice.

Because Eve is complex, multi-faceted, and interesting enough to serve as a fully functional alternative life. I've tried the others, and they're not Eve. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

I know your pain, I get very little space time myself. Best I've found is to do a little PvE when the time is available just to get out of station. |

I play for unity and the chances to change peoples outlooks on life. Some of the greatest minds I have ever met were on this game. I play for the challenge and grimyness of it all. I play because I may never have the chance to vist other worlds or make a great contribution to society. I play because I beleive that the power from the sociopath's can be refocused on positive influence.
