I spend too much time on the forums
But on the other hand, I always prioritize RL above EVE. That's one of the main reasons that I rarely go on gang PvP ops--I often can't guarantee that I'll be able to be on the whole time.
That's probably also why I post on the forums so much. Forumposting can be done at any time, and I can leave at any time (to do some actual work) with no consequences.

I'm in a similar situation.
I guess I feel that the forums keep me linked to the game in some way, eventhough I'm not actually playing... ------------------------------------------------ Current Hobby other than EVE

Any online or offline computer game can be 1) addictive and 2) soul sucking, as can be your daytime profession, playing bridge, sports, or hacking Linux for that matter. But I think with games the addiction aspect is something the individual has to deal with by prioritizing your time and keeping the focus of your life on what really matters.
EVE seems to me to be inherently less "soul sucking." You can make progress offline by keeping skills in training, unlike other games where huge amounts of online grinding may be required to make progress.
EVE developers could help with the addiction problem by providing at least a limited queue for developing skills offline. If you could queue four or five skills, you could go for days or weeks without feeling enslaved to EVE's skill training clock, which to me at the moment seems to be the most inconvenient and obnoxious feature of the game.

Could you explain why I don't CTD when I have an argument with my GF (as much as i like to)? Or why I can't web and pod her? (or better, why can't i block any invites for convo from her ) What is that big shiny yellow orb outside, which is occluded now and then by clouds?

To play eve consumes so much time
On weekends I go out and get drunk so no eve, the rest of the week is school stuff, 1 month left for my final exams so I dont have that much time atm
Many alliance ops are on the weekends and pretty late for me (got GMT +01:00), need to get drunk in the town at that time and not shooting reds ...

Guys take it from me, Eve is perfectly healthy to play 23/7/365 without macros! Real life is only useful if you like real drama where you get in trouble when you shoot the guy next to ya. Game on!

Its all about prioritising.
For me, EVE has been a really good thing. I had a drug problem in RL and one of the things that distracted me from the cravings etc was EVE. I'd highly recommend it as a form of therapy! Although maybe I am replacing one addiction with another, EVE being less harmful and considerably cheaper.
Sure, I've cut back on socialising a bit, but its about finding the balance. You can enjoy work, socialising, family, culture, love, and EVE - but just don't expect to have any time to sleep!

Btw. Who said playing eve and PvP'ing is like not having a social life?
I concider many of the people I played with as good acquaintances of mine. Some even friends. TS helps alot with this feeling.

I'm 42, have raised three children (one girl age 6, twin girls age 2) for the last two years solo, except for the help I can hire.
I run a law firm which is broken down into two corporations. I try at least one jury trial a month. Sooooo, I substituted Eve for any and all T.V. watching. It is perfect for me to release tension and stress. So nice to do something more than watch t.v. to unwind. It is better than going postal.
Additionally, and maybe this is just me, but I believe that the game keeps you mentally sharp. My two cents.

Good luck when the baby pops out V2GBR! If it wasn't for Eve I would have nothing to do at work It was my hubby who got me into the game in the first place. The only time it causes any problems is when we have an argument over who has to put the kids to bed while the other plays Eve

EVE,
Great way of learning the social & psychological aspects of people trading in imaginary objects, and use that knowledge in way to maximize profits on real stock market. --- Sell orders Free money for n00bs |

I got around the whole issue - My wife this last weekend has started to play. She is so cute sitting in her probe extracting ore from a near by roid.
She is getting sucked in. Its great.
We look at video games as a great source of entertainment. What else can you do for $14 a month? Thats the price for 1 movie.

Disagree. It costs 4Ç to rent a new movie on local movie rental, and olders cost either 1 or 2Ç. So you could watch 14 movies for the same money --- Sell orders Free money for n00bs |

Social smocial life... Long live the Emperor! I warp around in a pod all day long, but maybe that's why everyone look at me so strange - but at least I am having fun, that's what it is all about!
You just gotta put a prio on stuff then the social life will work out fine.
1. Mine veld 2. Refine veld 3. Stack trit in hangar 4. Be social in local 5. View the scenery of your system 6. Watch clock and see it is past your bedtime 3 hours ago 7. Do another mining run (repeat 1-3) 8. Log off and go to bed 9. Sleep 1-2 hours 10. Say good morning to the person beside you 11. Get to work 12. Log on to EVE (local or remote) 13. Repeat 1-3 14. Nod to people passing by in the hallway 15. Go home at the end of the day 16. Goto 1
You'll be fine, trust me. The worst thing that can happend is that you end up like me (that's a good thing right? )

9/10 I choose friends before Eve, simply because Eve is always there friends only hang out once in awhile, quite simply because too much and we get bored/annoyed with each other.
My g/f however takes away most my eve-time, but nothing I can do about that and I live with it.
I'll agree with someone above who said eve is for when there is nothing better to do.
However for me that includes stuff I prolly should do, but just don't feel like it
Also the best quote I ever saw was, before you can win in eve you have to win IRL, remember that! For God, Empire, and Sarum! |
