So how do you play the game? Those who play on limited time 1-2 hours at a time. Or older gamers who have to bail at a moments notice. I enjoy EVE a lot. Different aspects. Mostly combat , and PVP. But sometimes it takes so long to get to where you need to be or sometimes these roams just take too long. I'm older, Married, own a home and a dog. I have a real life and responsibility to worry about. I guess im just trying to figure out my best use of time.  |

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't expect such a response. I'm just coming back from about a year away from EVE. Joined a nullsec sov corp. I kinda just feel like im not enough help for the corp/ alliance. Everything just takes so long and I don't have time to sit around waiting for something to happen. I do like so many different aspects of the game tho. I feel like I need to find a corp that im free to do what I want in. Go to high, low, and null sec whenever I want. PVP when I want. Exploration when I want. Run a mission or ratting if I want, test out new ships and such. |

Older for me would be 30+. But this is a video game like no other. I can't really play other games much. Too soft and fluffy.

My wife doesn't have a problem with my gaming because I don't make it more important than the actual important things. She knows my routine and has no problem with it. She isn't a gamer or anything. She goes about as far as guitar hero on the wii with me lol. I let her do the things she likes, and she lets me do the things I like. We communicate well. I told her the other night that I was tired from staying up late playing EVE, and she said, well sometimes why don't you start earlier so you can get to bed ontime. So last night I went on a bit early and got about 2.5 hours in and went to bed on time. So then maybe tonight I wont go on at all and hang out with the wife. |

I think you should start a service called: Eve Family Counseling Charge people a consulting fee about how to play Eve and get along with the wife at the same time.
YES! I have found what to do with my EVE time! :-)

I know. I think it seriously might be. Logged on last night with my null sec corp. Guys said we were going to get together for a lowsec roam. I was ready in 5 mins. In my ship, in the start location. Then as i wait almost an hour later, after much talking and fitting thier ships and bsing about what modules to fit and looking at prices. I was only going to be on another 20mins, i basically just said forget it. Logged into my alt and did some exploring for 20 mins.
I dont have time to be working with other peoples schedules. Especially kids who dont have work in the morning and much to worry about other that shooting ships.

I do not want this game to become more casual. That's not why i made this post. I love the depth to it. I've been playing on and off for 4 years and im still learning new things. There is definitly plenty to do within a limited time frame. I'm just interested in hearing how others play because of the variety of ways that you can play.
So an update on what I've been doing... On the rare chance i get a 3-4 hour shot of EVE (some friday and saturday nights) I log in my main with my null sec corp. And see what they are up to. Maybe join in or roam around solo low sec. And if they are BSing . Bloping or taking forever to get their ish together, Ill still join but ill be on the other screen exploring with my other toon. Now the week days When i only get an hour or so. If the corp is BSing. I'm out... My time is valuable. I'll go around FW low sec looking for fights. Solo fights are plenty. Just have to pick your battles and not worry about losing your ship. And thats that so far!
