Message me in EVEmail and we'll talk about it.....you might be a good fit for us, we might be a good fit for you and if not then no harm in talking.

Infiltrate every big alliance in the blue doughnut and hit disband on all of them at once. Good luck!

Just roll a fresh char. You can be in a dumpster plexing frigate inside of a day's training. Then all you have to do is find a corp to join with so you'll have more fun. Alternatively, do the same with Brave Newbies in null or RvB in highsec.

I've been a station/region trader for years and this is what i'm "retiring," from the marketplace to do. I built up more than enough isk to keep me shipped for years, time to go burn it all while learning something new and having fun doing it.

Having burned out on EVE a few times myself, I've learned only one lesson: If the game begins to become about that next million sp, then you need to quit and take a break. There's always plenty to do without hitting skill benchmarks, though they do exist, and learning to work around them either through teamwork or creativity is a lot of what makes eve enjoyable.

Hasn't played since 2003 (before Goons), just got back and is all "Grr Goons!"

Drink some more Kool-Aid, dude.

Get a Ragnarok.

I wouldn't do it either but it's less to do with being nice. I have asked, who will we love to hate after goons and I don't have the answer.

as for your quest for a goal?
I haven't had much luck in that department for five years or more. I suppose we all want to be a mogul at something. Even at the cosmetic level. It just seems to fall apart once you research the short term time sink involved.

Because parroting the same "Goons bad!" line like everyone else is witty.

I see a pattern emerging. As such, the elements of said pattern repeat in a predictable manner.

Mention Goons and the same tired group of forum warriors come out of the woodwork as if defending a small child.

I'm in a sentimental mood.


Make it your goal to make 10 friends in EvE who you are willing to go and have a beer with in real life.

Any good? That's a matter of opinion.

From what I can tell though, it's probably your best option as a means to get back into the game. Solid PVP without the null politics getting in the way. No shades of gray. Just cops and robbers. Cowboys and Indians.

You log in. You fight. You log out.

If that's not what you are into anymore then by all means pick yourself up a builder or something. I suspect that you will, given your past, find it pretty boring however.
