Usually when looking at multiple scenarios, it's useful to look for a common denominator. In this case, I'm looking at you. I'm willing to bet that you, like me, will always be hooked to some game. Whether WoW, EvE, or Hello Kitty Super Adventure Island, you'll be sitting behind your computer playing something. It's not EvE's fault that you're a gamer, it's yours. In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has angered numerous people for many different reasons and is widely considered as a 'bad move'.

No matter where you go, there you are. What will you do with your "life"? Hang out at a pub? Watch TV? The problem is not this game, or that game. It's you! And I am not trying to troll here. You can leave the game, and then you will waste your time on something else. Not that you could call it a total waste, if you were actually entertained. I played WOW for roughly 30 months, mostly PVP in the last year, and I gotta say the laughs were well worth the time. Nothing like the battleground PVP for an hour a day after a long day of work. I must have a lot of time with COD2 - I giggle like Lorena Bobbitt in a sausage factory whenever I smack someone's head off with a rifle butt. That time is worth the laugh, and for the same reason. After a long day covering everything from my job and the latest horrors of life, it's well worth the time. If you hang out at a pub on your spare time, you could be like Norm from that old sitcom called "Cheers" - would you say spending time with your friends was a waste? Now I can see that you might think you needed to be more productive perhaps - lots of time in EvE and who are you when the servers shut down? We see a lot of people treating internet spaceships like it's very serious business. I had a scout alt once get blobbed by T2 ships using ammo that cost more than the alts frigate, and wondering if those other players are sitting there thinking "man, we're so good at this" - but like a kid I used to play COD2 with, who was always so proud when he would shout "I'm dominating!!" I would ask "what are you doing if I pull the plug right now?". In fact that same kid was really big on Guitar Hero. I sneered (yes, sneered) at his GH prowess and said "OK, let's see you do that with the real thing" so he got the real thing and is now in a band and in his late teens living it up as a musician getting all the hot chicks and such other trappings of that lifestyle. So, if you are looking back, and seeing that, after your EvE accomplishments, nothing more than a neckbeard or stay-at-home son in the mirror, with tools in the garage with layers of dust on them, and no memory of what a naked woman looks like, then perhaps you are correct in your actions, but don't blame the game, this or any one, for I would bet a case of Russian short (that's ammo, by the way) that you will find something else to waste your time on. (like I am wasting it right now as I type this... ) You need to appreciate one thing though, I have lived in situations where there was absolutely NO time to waste, no time to play, and if I wanted to have a beer I had to chug it. If you have not neglected your life to play this game, then congratulations, you are an efficient person who managed to accomplish your goals AND do it in such a manner that you had time to play. I would like to learn about your habits in lieu of asking for your stuff.
Alara IonStorm RvB - BLUE Republic 524	Posted - 2011.12.03 17:15:00 - [10] - Quote You know I play 1-3 Times a week with anywhere from a half hour to 4-5 Hours logged in. I do Exploration, PvP, Missions or just browse Markets. When I lived in Null, or Low I never felt obligated to log in. I chose which OP's to attend, plan roams in advance and generally schedule my Spaceship fun around my time. I don't worry about Alts, I am fine with just Alara. I don't worry about training, buying or running Capital Ships and POS's or farming Plex because I pay my humble $15. I don't mind oscillating between 500mil and 50 mil depending on what I buy or destroy or growing a fund to purchase a pimp ship over a few months. I keep EVE simple. The problem is not the game it is you. You choose to try to do everything in EVE, take it slow and pass the buck along from time to time. You can play this game as casually as you want to. If you obsess over it, it will swallow you. Don't do that.

This and reality TV. Though lately the answer seems to be "Get a 2nd job" or "sell plasma to pay the rent." I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.
Bloody Wench 156	Posted - 2011.12.03 17:44:00 - [18] - Quote Some mighty fine posts there, Herzog and Kilrayn. I'm about to start my second year of engineering at the ripe old age of 37. I've got more free time now than I've ever had, but I'm doing nothing with it, I think that's what bothers me. I can convince myself that it's just while recovering from surgery (motorbike accident) but that's only now..what about the other years? I conveniently forget about those. I'll be 40 before I know it on the outside and yet still 23 in the head. I've always had an addictive streak, sex and cars in the 90's. Bikes, alcohol and drugs in the '00s, I've gotten rid of them all with the exception of smoking and being online. I haven't had a drink in 7 years, a hooker or any pills in 10, and I haven't been caught going 3 times the speed limit since 06. If these pills (champix) work I'll not be smoking by christmas after 22 years, and if I can just log the **** off, that will be the end of them all. Finally free, no longer a slave to bullshit. And yes, yes you can have my stuff. Go over to Jita and buy some random junk, some of it is probably mine. Alara, no no no, I'm a powergamer, and by by the grace of Satan himself I will powergame EVE come hell or high water. It's just really hard with this time based skill progression. It's 4am here, I should be sleeping...or sending some drunk hottie home in a taxi.
Pinaculus The High and Mighty 65	Posted - 2011.12.03 17:54:00 - [19] - Quote I've been trying to quit smoking for a couple of years, and have heard good and bad things about Chantix. Good: It will make cigarettes tastes like garbage, and smoking them will be a complete hassle. You won't get a "buzz" off them, and you won't really crave them as much. Bad: You might have really strange, disturbing dreams. You might sleep walk or have fugue episodes. It could cause liver damage. You might go completely bonkers forever. I'm torn, because smoking is more damaging to my life than EVE ever could be. I don't power game, and have no interest in ever becoming that person again (I used to marathon game 18/7 on DAoC...that was stupid). I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force 501	Posted - 2011.12.03 17:58:00 - [20] - Quote Date of Birth2006-03-17 16:49:00 Logon count5,846 Time online113d 22h 17m Daily average1h 18m 36s Hmm. Not quite as bad as the OP. Then again, I barely logged in more than 15-20 minutes every few days in the past 2+ years, and not that much in the year before that, so I suppose the first three years were pretty close to what the OP has been doing on average. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force 501	Posted - 2011.12.03 18:10:00 - [21] - Quote As for smoking... hmmm... Had been a serious smoker only for about 12 years (started late), but I gave up "smoking" about 2 months ago. Haven't given up on nicotine though, and don't really plan to. Switched to inhaling nicotine-filled vapors. I have had a month-long break from all nicotine-related things before (while recovering from surgery, coughing would have hurt like hell), but the lack of nicotine made my appetite skyrocket (to the point of quite literally being unable to think straight if I was not noshing on something almost continuously), and since I'm not exactly in good shape (fat-wise) to begin with, that was a deal breaker. Nicotine had to come back, one way or another. Restarted smoking cigarettes, but the aftertaste and smell was hard to get reused to, and coughing became a fairly regular occurrence again. I did not wake up coughing in any of the mornings since I switched to vaporized propylene glycol with nicotine traces in it. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection

Are you sure you're not getting some things mixed up ? The only thing even remotely similar I found was an ADVISORY warning from the spring of 2009 warning consumers about e-cigarettes not having been tested properly for use, and no products being yet approved for sale back then. USE of e-cigarettes was never illegal as far as I know. You can use them as much as you like. SALES of unauthorized products, yes, those might be illegal, but that's the seller's problem. There are plenty of sites you can find via Google that sell e-cigarettes that deliver to Canada too. Digging around a bit more... relevant bits collected and slightly cleaned up... Quote: Basically sale and importation are "restricted" and technically these restrictions are in fact legally incorrect and not enforceable because Health Canada's own guidelines make a specific exemption for inhalers that provide under .4mg of nicotine per inhalation. If such restrictions are challenged in court the restriction would likely fall. Most retailers only get a letter "recommending" they cease sale of juice containing nicotine. Currently I am aware of one class action suit in it's early stages to challenge Health Canada. There is no law against owning or using batteries, vaporizering atomizers or any parts associated with. There is no law against owning or using plastic parts associated with cartridges and cartomizers, USB chargers or other battery charging devices. There is also no law, nor restriction against owning or using food flavoring, PG, VG, or nicotine in low doses (such as that found in eliquids, cigarettes, patches, nicorettes and nicotine inhalers). prescriptions or other permissions are required for higher doses of nicotine. Schedule F drugs, in general, are controlled in terms of who can distribute them and how - but they are not illegal. Nicotine is exempted as a schedule F drug when in strengths below 4mg per dosage unit (Food and Drug Regulations) (such as that found in cigarettes, patches, nicorettes, inhalers and eliquid). There are other Schedule F drugs that have exemptions - such as Ibuprofin (Advil). Non exempt Schedule F's require a prescription - exempt Schedule F's don't. That's the general difference. Customs can choose to stop any delivery at their own discretion, and have done so occasionally. A risk is taken each time a shipment goes through customs, but not within the country. A Canadian distributor means they take the risk of losing the money and not you. I'd suggest ordering from a Canadian distributor. Basically, just get one from wherever you can. It's NOT illegal. For you. As a consumer. Let the seller worry about his status. Kasha Belle wrote: Er... how do you find obtain those stats onhow long you've been online??

Wikipedia wrote: In Canada, as of March 2009, the import, sale, and advertising of electronic cigarettes containing nicotine are banned in Canada, while non-nicotine e-cigs are legal and may be sold and advertised. Health Canada advised Canadian consumers not to purchase or use any electronic smoking products, cited prohibition of electronic smoking products containing nicotine in the Food and Drugs Act; no market authorization has been granted for any electronic smoking product. You can get around it but... E-Cigerette Review wrote: Health Canada still allows the import of flavored zero nicotine cartridges, which is what youGÇÖre striving towards if youGÇÖre looking to quit smoking in the first place. Since electronic cigarette brands that ship to Canada arenGÇÖt always up to date with Canadian laws, most will still send you the nicotine cartridges anyway. However they risk not getting through customs. I don't have the money to play shoots and ladders with customs. I have yet to find a store that sells Nicotine Cartridges where I live.

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force 501	Posted - 2011.12.03 18:56:00 - [27] - Quote Order everything else except the liquid first, so they have no reason to stop it when it enters the country. E-liquid is quite cheap, so even if 4 of 5 shippings get seized on average, you're still getting away with it cheaper than just buying regular cigarettes. I also hear that some local Canadian shops sell everything you need locally. They're far more expensive locally (due to the local distributors having their shipments seized occasionally), but, eh, what can you do. EDIT: Alara IonStorm wrote: I have yet to find a store that sells Nicotine Cartridges where I live. So, where DO you live ? Maybe the e-cig forums can tell you where you can find some reasonably nearby shops. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection

And good luck. But keep in mind, video-gaming is just a leisure activity. There are people that read books, that go to bars, that play golf, that engage in any number of leisure activities. The one you enjoy happens to have other people from across the world in it and challenges you. If somebody spends 1/7th of their time on their leisure activity if it was not a video game, would you feel they are doing something wrong? Guess all I'm saying is, because it is fun and leisure and a video game, don't see the time spent in it as anything less than the time you'd spend on other leisure activities.

Good: It will make cigarettes tastes like garbage, and smoking them will be a complete hassle. You won't get a "buzz" off them, and you won't really crave them as much. Bad: You might have really strange, disturbing dreams. You might sleep walk or have fugue episodes. It could cause liver damage. You might go completely bonkers forever. I'm torn, because smoking is more damaging to my life than EVE ever could be. I don't power game, and have no interest in ever becoming that person again (I used to marathon game 18/7 on DAoC...that was stupid). I was very concerned about taking them as well. I've just started the 2nd week. and so far they've done jackshit. Haven't even slowed down. I did have some success with the inhalers that look like tampons, 6 weeks straight stop. Got bored one day and went for a ride, bought a pack and it was like I never stopped. You do get some funny looks on the street with one hanging out your mouth, I didn't realise what they looked like until a mate said something. When you've been smoking a long time, for me atleast, you don't get any sort of buzz off them anymore. No bad dreams to speak of. I'm pretty borderline mentally at the best of times and my psychologist took some convincing to let me go on them, but she eventually came around so long as I keep my appointments, but the pills haven't had any noticable effects in this area. I've been pretty horny but that could be the Oxycontin, and having your prefered hand out of action is not fun during this time. Try the inhalers, they are cheaper if your government doesn't subsidise the champix. Champix is the australin name for your chantix, same **** different name. edit: was going to change australin but then decided it's phonetically correct and left it.

I went in for an OP recently, and despite my surgeon fully bitching at me about smoking, I ninja'd out in the gown to hide in the carpark to have one, up until like 30 mins before pre-med. I held them in my armpit so I could show the nurses empty hands, because they'd been told to not let me. I woke up about 2am from anesthetic and snuck out to a 2nd floor balcony where I had one only like an hour after coming around. Apparently I still had a fair bit of analgesia in me, because that **** rocked my world. Could barely stand or walk, and man was I sweating. Felt like I was going to chuck, laying down and the room spun...good times.

I could probably pull the OP's 3.5/day if I neglected all my other non-important life activities....but 6/day, holy **. Forget "Can I have your stuff?", how about "Can I have your awesome life of leisure???"

When EVE (or anything else) starts to feel like a chore, I just leave a long skill in queue and go have fun somewhere else. I've let my sub lapse a few times most recently let it slide for 18 months due to traveling a lot for work and being more fed-up than usual with EVE. Moderation.

Pinaculus The High and Mighty 65	Posted - 2011.12.04 13:40:00 - [55] - Quote Wow, something like 57 days played. I figured it'd be less. Eve goes from being hugely dull to incredibly fun, so I either log off after 30 minutes of ship-spinning or get to do something fun and play for 4 hours. Or troll forums. I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.

Assuming 16 "productive" awake hours a day, vs 24... That's 23.7% of my waking/productive time over that 2 years. Uph... Oh well, I do tend to go AFK for extended periods in the game some times but still; that's a chunk of time and I haven't played that much in a few weeks.

Thank you I'm not sure where in-game or on the forums you can check but the API has a call that'll give the info back - I used EVEHQ to pull it out. It has it in an account information window but there's also an "api checker" that lets you pick what API call to use from a dropdown list. The API call is AccountStatus - it returns back a listing like: paidUntil createDate logonCount logonMinutes So it tells you how long you're paid up on that account, when you created it, etc... Just math after that stuff.

And poor - TV is the cost of cable and you can complain about how they leave cheap crap on the air for 8 years and kill anything you like after 3 episodes because the database marketing computer didn't have a demographic input for its content - You could read books and complain about how the rest of the world is stupid and doesnt understand the real world. - You could work more, die rich and know your kids will use the money to sit and play vide games because you slaved your ass off. - you could say screw it, play EVE, be happy and ignore critics who usually have thier eye on your wallet and not your well being.
