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.

1-2 hours sounds like plenty to me, even if it's just per month. It's not a race, and tbh I look on people playing for 10 hours a day with some disapproval if they try make it look normal and talk down to everyone else. It's not and they'll burn out faster than people who manage their time. There aren't many people who have been playing for 5+ years who have maintained consistent activity to that degree (and those who have are gibbering loonies who were 11 when they first subbed, and still are). This myth that EvE is only for hardcore nerds willing to commit to x hours per day is a problem and needs to be demolished.

Clearly you are not a "real" gamer and are a disgrace to true EVE players. Real gamers, wear a cathetar and a diaper and the only time they stop playing before 10 hours is if their house burns or PC breaks. Stopping for sex or a choking family members is a clear sign of an uncommitted pilot. I once played for 42 hours non stop and only quit when the store I was in cut the power while I was testing one of their new rigs...

Piracy is your future haven my friend.

Anyone else tired of the term "Gamer" being used like an occupational description? I'll never forget working for a cable/internet provider and having customers call and tell me "Well, I'm a gamer, so..." SO???? Congrats on being useless?

Every time I heard someone talk like that I would roll my eyes so hard they almost left my skull.
