After quitting 4 times in 10 years I feel like Michael Corleone - "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" |

You could get out if you only played single-player games. Many are very hard, and can kick one's arse over and over, if you make the wrong move. But if you want an MMO and a game world happening based on human IQs, there is only Eve. Any other MMO might just make you rage at being fed bad taste graphics, led by the nose and having your human IQ badly insulted.
But, on the other hand, it is the novice usually who gets the famous ace by doing at some moment the unexpected thing.

You try to find new games to replace eve in your life, but you find yourself, instead of enjoying them, picking out all the things that eve does better. After one to several attempts like this, you finally come back to eve not planning on playing but just to see whats new... you get sucked in and it starts all over again.
The only way to really ever quit eve is to die in real life, even then your ghost probably plays eve.

EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.

Yet the irony is we only hear the stories of those who CANNOT quit, never the ones that do, because if they do and its successful they will never post on the forums to say they have quit. So our viewpoints are skewed towards the ideology that one cannot actually quit Eve when many do in fact.
Humanity is a funny animal.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.

Quite a truth. *I* Can't quit the gme and just take breaks from it, but I can tell you of several people who quitted forever. |

I know some that have quit permanently( at least up to this point) but its hard to say unless they died in real life they quit for good. Many say they quit for good and 2 years later log back in. So until they die or eve dies, they are just afk.

I've been playing on and off since 2008. I've quit because I was bored, ticked off, had no free time, whatever. And here I am. Still playing. Now I'm pondering going to Fanfest in 2017. But I'll be 58 then, and frankly most of the people in the photos look my kids (or grandkids, eek).
Looks like fun, but I'm not sure its for me. Nevertheless, I continue to play simply because there is nothing as good, as serious and as all-encompassing as Eve.
So there.

I regret two things: that I quit EVE few times and that I found out about the game already too late back in 2008. If I could turn back time I',d play straight from the release without pauses... |

It's like they say: don't be a quitter, be a winner.
That means you won EVE four times already! Are you keeping a tally score? |

Yup. Leaving EVE permanently is the only way to win the game. |

My signature applies here.
Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you.

except you see this a lot on FB and other media where former eve players are posting or still following the game. Yes some will quit for good with no problem.. but a lot will check on it once in a while and see what might be up. So the 'you only ever go afk' is legit.
OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom

So there. I went in 2009 @40. Was good to go for educational purposes. That was when 3d party tools were peaking and there was a lot of activity outside the game itself. That element has faded somewhat.
Sit in on the panels...watch some tournaments...see the sites of Iceland. There's quite a bit to absorb. Skip the parties and pub crawls. I won't go back (maybe Vegas) but it's definitely worth doing once.

Let me guess: it involves a door opening.
Or even better: the 'Structure' dress first seeded on Singularity in April 2011, is gonna be released on Tranquilty right this very same year of 2016! Or 2017! Or 2018! Or...! |
