the same as every other game- to waste time on instead of homework/girlfriend/working out/cleaning.. at least.. those are the things i ignore, they may differ from person to person. on the flip side, if i were born in 19th century england, i almost certainly would have been an opium addict, so the boredom alleviating powers of video games saved me from drug addiction at least, thats gotta be a good thing. |

The point of EVE could be hidden in the word multiverse. To me, EVE is an experiment to support Simulated reality hypothesis. |

What is the point of eve?
It is an Icelandic socioeconomic and political simulation, designed by the Psychologists at CCP to see how far the Human Psyche can be pushed towards the generally accepted notion of "evil" based on extant internal "game" factors, inequity, lawlessness, lack of consequences in real life, etc etc.
OR
A group of drunk Icelanders still sore over the cod war, got together and decided to screw with the brains of a whole generation of computer users to see what would happen, and then a marketing man said hey why not get them to pay while you screw with them?
Tadaaa welcome to eve |

So what part of my original post screamed "this guy is serious"?, or were you just caught up on the word "evil" and thought you'd share your worldview with everyone?.

The obvious: EvE is a sociological experiment to see just how many people turn into complete sociopaths when given the screen of internet anonymity.
The less obvious: To study the feedback effect of how much of this online malignant behavior seeps back into their test subjects' psyches in real life as well. http://youtu.be/t0q2F8NsYQ0 |

So not only is EVE dying, it is also an utterly failed experiment?  GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

OP did reply and point out that actual gameplay was around less than a year and is just a bit bewildered, and receptive to advice. No need to adopt a harsh tone. Most importantly he/she didn't go mental when people made suggestions. Looks like a legit query, the kb backs it up. TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

Betty Sue wrote:I'm asking this as a serious question. I have played this game off and on since 2005. I have tired abit of everything but all that seems to happen to me anyhow is crap.
I will give 2 examples that happened to me this weekend alone.
was moving around 300mil worth of random items to sell and in a 0.8 sec system as I was leaving a station boom blown up nothing I could do and icing on the cake he pop'd my pod to so I lost around 1 bil ISK in total. Whatever **** happens so I moved on
I stop playing before the wormhole stuff got really interesting so I figured I'd take a look see what its like, get a cheap probe ship going found a wormhole go into it fly to an asteroid belt and BOOM jumped by like 50 guys the destroy my ship and then spent around 40 mins flying around my pod laughing at me in local chat. I didn't care much cause I was just playing an alt running missions and I'm use to that ****.
So I put up with the type of stuff all the time I always seem to get this short end of the stick, I've tried to get into corps but have never had luck, I tired PVP but it always seems people are in groups and all the stuff I read that your suppose to be able to go at solo never plays out. I do mission running on my main account but honestly that great very boring very fast
So I'm just wondering what really is the point of this game? so far all I've gotten out of it is I will put in hours of my free time make money just to loose a good chunk of it to some ******* or group of *******.
Regardless of how it sounds I do enjoy the game but I feel like I am missing a very large part of it, any pointers someone could give me would be most welcome
I'm sorry but can you tell me what Wormhole you found with asteroid belts in them?
I know I"ve been a bit remiss with exploring wormholes of late but I could have sworn there were no asteroid belts in them and most, even if they blow the snot out of you - keep local clear in such places.
Thanks in advance for clearing this up on your experiences.
