Leto Corleone	Posted - 2008.10.10 06:58:00 - [1] why do you play this game, what is your intention behind this ? Do you like to get better than others in something ? Are you trying to find friends in an online community ? Are you looking for power over others ? Or do you simply like to inflict harm to others and see them suffer ? What exactly drives you to play a computer game instead of working on you real life ?

Niccolado Starwalker Shadow Templars	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:09:00 - [5] Originally by: Leto Corleone What exactly drives you to play a computer game instead of working on you real life ? First: I work in real life! I have a full time job, and do not live in my mothers basement. Just to have that part outa the way! Secondly: The reason why I play this game are many many many. But Spaceships, hardcore, sandbox and Nyx Mothership!! is just a few good reasons!!

Leto Corleone	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:19:00 - [9] Ok spaceships, but do you realize that you are sitting in a room on planet earth, in front of a computer screen and that there are no spaceships but only pixel pictures on that screen ?
Liberator 1 Gallente Remnants of the Flame	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:19:00 - [10] Damn, I thought it was real.
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Native Freshfood	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:20:00 - [11] Originally by: Leto Corleone Ok spaceships, but do you realize that you are sitting in a room on planet earth, in front of a computer screen and that there are no spaceships but only pixel pictures on that screen ? Blasphemy1 It's real i tell you! cries self to sleep
Freyya Aliastra	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:21:00 - [12] Dude, you do realise you're sitting in a room, in front of a screen, creating pixels about said pixels in a spaceship game? If you don't get why other people play this game then do you even know why YOU are sitting in front of a screen and registered for the same damn thing??

Rod Blaine Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:25:00 - [15] I do it so prevent myself from reenacting the texas chainsaw massacre at my workplace, wearing a long leather coat and preceeded by a youtube promo-vid i made myself. Hence I have no other option then to be the most self-gratifying sob possible within the bounds of my subconscious character limitations. , no, for fun of course. It¦s a game.
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Native Freshfood	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:25:00 - [16] Is it just me, or do es anyone else detect hostility in the OP? It's like they saying "You're idiots playing this game, get a life saddos!"
Kerfira	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:27:00 - [17] Only decent space MMO. Only MMO where PvP has any meaning (ie. losses actually hurt). Originally by: CCP Wrangler EVE isn't designed to just look like a cold, dark and harsh world, it's designed to be a cold, dark and harsh world.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:29:00 - [18] Cool space pilots gets chicks right? Secure 3rd party service ■ Veldspar

1Evildude Gallente Task Force Zener Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:31:00 - [19] Because I don't have a job, life or any friends. Thank you! For a long time I've just blocked out the reality, but now I have to go kill myself. * Of all the things I've lost, I miss my boot.ini file the most * Mega Night Out!

If you don't get why other people play this game then do you even know why YOU are sitting in front of a screen and registered for the same damn thing?? I don't know it, i just try to understand but it makes no sense, we are sitting like zombies in front of a flat screen for hours. And soon we are all going to die anyways, so why waste the precious short time that we have left here on planet earth in a physical body with something that is not real, this just does not make sense somehow.

Not real? Anything that occurs is real. You a re playing a real game. ------------------------------------------- ôIf you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?ö -------------------------

It¦s called escapism, and it generally means you prefer to ¦zone out¦of reality for a while. On the other hand, do it long enough and you introduce connections to your ¦reality¦ into the escapist experience. (out of game social contact is an example). Interesting thing isn¦t it, it¦s typical for the very involving escapist experience.

LOL! Well, in that case. what's the point of anything if we're all gonna die anyway? why not just all top ourselves now and be done with it? You seriously need counseling and/or certain perscription drugs.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.10.10 07:59:00 - [24] Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 10/10/2008 08:00:58 Originally by: Leto Corleone I don't know it, i just try to understand but it makes no sense, we are sitting like zombies in front of a flat screen for hours.

What else would you do? There's simply too much time on our hands, sometimes you want to zone out and mine. Would you zone out while admiring some trees? Some overhyped dirt-particles? Would you listen to an 80 year old granny blabber about how she was "in the war!", before she croaks and you yourself become that "granny" and start babbling how your granny was "in the war!"? Would you sit in a pub drinking, trying to pick up chicks? Spend time with your kids, who by any default, don't want to spend time with a square parent when they could fly pixels? Annoy the hell out of your girlfriend 'cause you want more quality time? Annoying her to the point of break-up and then return to EVE 'cause, ironic as it is, you now have too much quality time with yourself. Everything is a waste of time, and let me end this very profound post with a quote from The Big Yin; "Life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life, get wasted all the time, and you'll have the time of your life." (EVE-fied version in my profile) My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Freyya Aliastra	Posted - 2008.10.10 08:03:00 - [25] NEWS FLASH: EVE IS DYING AND SO ARE WE! You play this game because it brings you joy. It helps you use the technique of "escapism" to not think of the troubles and such of your present life...either that or you just don't have anything better to do. Why do we fall in love? Because it brings us joy (and babies) Why do we ( Most of us anyways) work for a living? Because receiving money for your work helps you buy things that bring you joy. Why do you buy and play games? Because it brings ou joy. Why do you go out and drink yourself (well alot of us anyways) into half a come sometimes? Because it brings you some joy and alot of trouble afterwards. Get the jist of things? ___________ NOW COLLECTING ISD AND CCP AUTOGRAPHS It'll be worth something someday. -Rauth

Freyya Aliastra	Posted - 2008.10.10 08:20:00 - [27] ok ok...should have brought you joy at some point...mainly at the start of your eve career...now it's just another daily fix. ___________ NOW COLLECTING ISD AND CCP AUTOGRAPHS It'll be worth something someday. -Rauth

Aye. The EVE joy scale goes as such; -See spaceships: "Joy! Spaceships!" -Realize what a cruel world EVE is upon undock. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Freyya Aliastra	Posted - 2008.10.10 08:27:00 - [29] If you could find the damn undock button the first time that is new player tuts wern't as extensive as they are now
