Last night I had a dream, doesn't matter what it was about but it had the EVE soundtrack in the background. So when I woke up today the first thing I thought of was eve.
In other words launching eve was the first thing I did today.
A few months back when I was into pvp and all that I had dreams about camping gates, and when I woke up thats just what I did.
I've also seen people sell their characters because they had to make a choice between RL and EVE. This is fully understandable. Its truly 'teh suck' when real life collides with such a great game. If I had Ç1000000 I would probably spend all my time on EVE 
So then, anyone got any thoughts about their playtime and its impact on real life? But more importantly how do you deal with it?
I've talked to several people that had problems with their wife etc because of EVE and I'm sure there are others with the same problem.
Discuss.

Well in my opinion: Eve = kiss social life goodbye!
But its sooooooo worth it!
Death is the only true freedom, brought on by our own ignorance.... Welcome to the "free" world in which we live... |

1 word - prioritize and figure out a way to do it without losing touch with your life.
I sacrificed my "good" PC for a laptop so I could play in the couch next to the missus (and so I could do stuff when she ord... errr asks me to)
It might be good to plan ahead. Say it upfront when you want to spend an entire EVE-ning doing a group activity.
All in all, been there, done that..; I understand your feeling. I got slapped on the fingers by the wife a few times already. Eve is the best refuge from real life there is, but it's not worth neglecting job, household or whatever for. It is hard however... even now I'm posting instead of working

EVE is a good substitute for those of us who can't have a real social life

Very easy to get sucked in and play far too much.
I am studying atm and keep getting distracted by Eve, but I dont let it run my life.
I would say if you play for 4 hours or more, every single day you have a problem and need to disconnect.
Signature dimensions to big, please keep it within 400x120 - Petwraith
does that count as mod sig vandalism? |

Its our common joke :
" going out tonight to gain loalty points with my wife "
Real eve is a time demanding game and eats up all your resources.
Skills r needed for running your real life too ...

My Eve time starts after all RL affairs (wife and other stuff). Usually it's after 22:00 local time.
I'm damn tired every morning after playing too late again (so much things to do in Eve) and sleeping less than six hours.

I have done just that aswell, as my baby is due in 6 days.
Its going to be hard to not play eve as much as i have done but at least with the laptop on my knee and being able to help the wife monitor my soon to be newborn i can keep in touch with my friends from eve.

RL comes first.
I am fortunate to be in a corp that understands that, because my family takes up a lot of my time atm (for various reasons, no need to elaborate),
When I play Eve I am completely absorbed, so I just avoid playing at all if I know I have other things to do.
Having said that, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I will be able to start putting more hours in again soon. \o/

Anybody have the skill that allows me to play Eve all day while not aggrivating my wife to the point that she wants to smash the computers and rip wires out of the walls? Willing to pay large amounts of ISK for it.

In the future do not date eve players
You'll end up stuck in a corp or alliance with one sooner or later after it's over 
Otherwise no real impact except some strange tshirts with skeleton bunnies on it

It ain't good when you are thinking of ways to tweak your PvP setups while watching a movie with her....

No effect on me, EVE for me is only when there is nothing better to do.

RL comes first, if it doesn't, then you may have a problem...
I rarely make time for EVE anymore, I log on if I have any spare time.
In the early days, I made time for EVE.
It's very different, the emersion is lost, but it's better than no EVE at all...

I was feeling sick this morning and should have been lying in bed, but i had to wake up at 7:30am to call work and tell them i would not becoming into day... Since i was up i though i might as well pop onto eve and see who is online.... That was over 4 hrs ago.

Eve is quite ok from an industrialist point of view because I can get of my computer in less than 5 minutes if my girlfriend needs me. "Sure baby, just let me dock and I'll be right there with you". She did get kinda ****ed when I stood awake for 48 hours straight trying to set up the outpost :)
On the other hand she hates WoW. "Baby, I am in an instance, I can't come right now"

Well, I know a certain person (who's name I shall not speak) who lost his relation due to EvE (and his commitment to his corp/alliance friends) and after that even plays more then he did before to get over it.
Eve shurely tested my relation, that is why I don't play at the moment and if i ever will, I will do it when I'm alone. I can't immagine myself playing the whole evening while my GF sits on the couch watching soaps.
I used to spend my entire days off, playing eve when i was single, 4 hours per day and 12 hours each saturday and sunday...
Bye bye SL.
