Someone who does not join a corp, doesn't chat or talk, someone who just plays the game as if it was a single player game.
These are the people who bounce. No interaction in anyway with anyone. 10 years of eve... yea i'm an addict |

Solo players have no instantaneous access to alliances or corp's intel. The nature of the game push them to have a few alts for scouting, and possibly multiboxing multiple accounts. They are looking for challenges they estimate they can survive with their existing assets, putting their own skins and assets on the line in an environment that is more favorable to bigger groups. They are probably a little paranoid as well as liking tough challenges.
They most likely fall under the profiles of Freedom Fighters or Bounty Hunters established by CCP. They are still interacting with the other players as needed to fulfill the goals they have established for themselves in Eve Online.
I disagree, a bounty hunter or freedom fighter interacts with other players. In order to be a bounty hunter you have to activly look for bounties, this is player interaction. A pure solo player plays with no one, ignores everyone, and is in npc corps. They don;t activity pvp or participant in anyway with anyone else. I don;t think they tend to have alts as they usually leave by then 10 years of eve... yea i'm an addict |

Which pretty much leaves only PvP.
So my definition of a solo player is someone who does not engage in PvP combat with any friends, because they do not have any. This does not mean to say that they do not PvP. However, because they do not communicate with anyone, they are no different than an intelligent NPC. Thus, they do not contribute to the dynamic social structure of the game and serve to degrade the entire foundation of this MMORPG. So I kill you, and that doesn't contribute to the dynamic social structure of the game? I beg to differ. :P
then you are not a solo player. you are activly engaging other players. That is no longer solo play. Even ig you play yourself but hunt someone down and kill that is a form of social interaction. You will prolly remain in eve longer then a pure solo player. 10 years of eve... yea i'm an addict |
