Don't bother with that WoW crap, RS is much better if you're looking for fantasy games. |

Different games. WoW is perfect for a few hours of mindless arcade action. I dont see anything wrong with it really. You will play it for a while, then get bored of that, and maybe come back to Eve for a while again.
Its the cycle that comes from wanting everything in one game, but being unable to find it. :)
This is exactly kinda what i was bringing across. How playing wow(or other mmo) can actually benefit into the "want" to play EVE.
'cause when you eat cookie dough all your life, you'd really like some baked ones every now and then 
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

I was tempted to give it another go but I know I'd be ever conscious of the lack of the expansion and with the second expansion imminent I just don't think it's worth it for the short time I'd be playing.

i dont understand why people who are leaving for wow always have the dying need to announce it in a forum post
if you wanna go then go, you'll be back in 4 months when you see once again everything you do there means nothing

IM currently playing no other games right now, but I fully understand where you are comming from.
Im actualy really looking forward to this November for Hellgate:London to come out, to get my Diablo2-esque demonic horde slay-age on! But obviously that will be a totaly different game from eve. Its not a replacement, it will just cover another faccet of my gaming fun.

I think both games are really demanding. I've played WoW after europe release in 2005 for several months with my old clan mates.
After we had all power-leveled to lvl.60, we spend most of our time with 40-people raid instance runs and preparing our equipment for those, because that is the endgame in wow. It was like 4 days a week 7 hours plus in instances in wow and on the other days farming ingredients for potions and such stuff to prepare for it.
I bailed out because it became too much work:
Spending multiple days a week trying to master a new instance, while trying to farm the old instances/raid bosses as often as possible to supply everyone and his alt with epic equipment in our maybe 75 member guild.
Nevertheless it was fun for some time.
I think EVE consumes also too much time, especially the ratio time spend in EVE vs. time having fun is broken, at least if you want to participate in alliance activities in 0.0.
The actual fighting is usually just minutes, the rest in eve are sitting somewhere in preparation of a fight or doing logistics stuff. Like currently. I'm hauling Trit in 0.0, because I need to do it someday. Boring, that's why I'm on the forums, while jumping my hauler.
Then I have to go to empire to get resupplies the next days, not exactly fun, but work.
Then I know that I have to make about a few bil isk somehow for dread, carrier, a command ship and some skills. Not exactly fun, especially, because ratting is grind, too and I don't really like to do it often. But I've trained millions of SP to use that stuff, so should do it someday.
And tomorrow again my tech-2 BPO spits out some new barrage m ammo in empire, so need to clone jump there and do a hauling trip to put it on the market. Not exactly fun, but it's easier isk than ratting and a steady income, so need to go there.
I already tore down my empire pos and stopped inventing to get rid of some eve work.
So yes, I can understand you. If a new interesting pvp mmorpg comes out, I probably also take a break from EVE again, run away from the work so to speak and relax there for a few months just to have fun.

WOW is a good game, especially when you are a bit tired of the plethora of decisions and thinking you have to do in this game.
In wow, the stats are nice and linear and the best gear and skill trees have already been worked out. So you just grab a beer and a friend and go pound on stuff.
This game, getting a small gang together can sometimes be a logistical nightmare. The PVP is fun though

if your forced to have more then one mmo, there is something seriusly wrong with the mmo that they should fix, and this is what eve have a problem with
I have multiple MMO's for multiple reasons. I play LOTRO because I like the whole medieval theme and that game really puts me there.
And I play EVE for the Sci-fi factor.
If either of those had to be fixed so only one suits my needs then we'd have knights and archerers flying around in space in castles mining ore so we can make swords that shoot missiles.

I never understood why people announce that they're leaving in the first place but to each their own I guess.
And I could be wrong, but isn't everything we do here for nothing also? I mean I'm pretty sure BOB wont end up on the cover of the fortune 500 for running a huge corporation/alliance. In 10 years I probably wont even remember my time spent here. heh.

The most *fun* MMOG I've played has to be City Of Heroes. The character creation alone is worth going over and over. However I got bored at around level 9 because it was a bit repetative and I had no real long term goal.
However that was before City Of villains came out and I keep meaning to return to try it an d see how PvP has changed things.

I play Eve & Guild Wars.
Playing the one enhances my enjoyment of the other. Furthermore, the 'pace' of each game is different -Eve is a slow but steady progression whereas Guild Wars is instant fun & action. It's also nice the one is sci-fi and the other fantasy to keep things interesting.
It helps that Guild Wars has no subscription -so I can justify maintaining my Eve accounts (plural)

I preffer city of villains/hero's myself. Getting into a gang is easy, it's great fun and not as much of a grind as WOW.
I have played wow for about 2 months but it just bores the pants of me, same with guild wars.
Anyhoo's, hope you have funstuffs!

I have been playing LOTRO for a month or so because I could play while I was from home at night. it doesn't require much attention (not like EVE does) and I could easily stop pretty much anywhere to take care of my real job...unlike EVE.
"Hang on about 20 minutes while I get to a station so I don't get podded"
yeah, that doesn't work.

WoW is fun, it's a pasttime, it's a hobby.
Right... tell that to the 24/7 raiders.
Just because you play it that way it doesn't mean the game is built that way.
EVE can be much more of a hobby than WoW.
That being said, WoW was the best MMO (no, it wasn't my first) I've played until I hit 60 and had to raid.
I never hit MC, about 3 BRD/BRS raids got me ****ed enough to think "LOL GTFO".
I did have many alts of every class like most people who don't like to raid, because if you don't raid, there's nothing else to do.
That was before I found EVE, EVE is certainly the best overall MMO out there for me, that's why I'm still here.
Though it would not take much for another game to beat EVE, considering the horrible bugs and interface, most developers are too greedy or stupid to create something similar.

Yes ofcourse, and not saying that it's for all that way.
Was ofcourse talking from own personal preference.
And like i said, EVE is fun too, just a different fun.
WoW= Haha fun(in general).
EVE= Solve math puzzle fun(in general).
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

I've been having a blast on it so far.

Firefoot. I have plenty of people to fellowship with (roomie, her brother, other friends) but I have logged in maybe twice since my night project for work ended last week.
Thanks for the offer, though. I also have a standing invite to join some others on Landorval.
Rolling more toons and going through the same friggin leveling does not appeal to me.

Yeah so far I've only made a champion (Deitrich) who's level 22 or 23. Kinda stuck on him atm for solo quests. Then I started a captain (Nasghoul) that I'm really enjoying and I've got him up to 13. Been busy the last couple of days especially since I'm pulling 10's at work to make up for labor day weekend but I think I might have time tonight and I'm sure I've got alot of rest xp built up.

WoW is a fantastic game - the graphics are varied and gorgeous.
However, PvE in any game becomes simple and dull eventually, and PvP is more varied and challenging.

WoW is easier to get enjoyment out of. Eve, takes months of careful planning, to build up a significant income, get into good corporations, achieve tough goals. It also requires activity to get the best out of it, and dedication. If you want to be part of a successful alliance/corp, in order to truly make the most of it you have to spend a lot of time on the game.
