Friendships.
It's also less mentally demanding than reading a book but not as mind-numbing as TV.

I hope ambulation will allow me to get even more tattoos upon my face, as well as being able to wear a Mexican hat with tassels on it, holding a teapot.

why do you play this game, what is your intention behind this ?
For me, Eve-o is a recriational thing. A place to unwind after the day.
Do you like to get better than others in something ?
Of course, that's natural progession.
Are you trying to find friends in an online community ?
Not really, I have pals in Eve-o of course but I don't go out of my way to try and make friends in game.
Are you looking for power over others ?
Who's looking?  Seriously, no.
Or do you simply like to inflict harm to others and see them suffer ?
You don't have to suffer, that's what ransom is for.
What exactly drives you to play a computer game instead of working on you real life ?
I wasn't aware that my RL needed work, thanks though. |

Anyone suffering over Internet spaceships needs medical help (in the form of an injection of a few CC of potassium chloride solution). |

After a day of conducting experiments and writing scientific reports, I find EVE a great way to de-stress my brain so I can have a good nights sleep.

Consider if you were immersed in EVE (total sensory link) with toobs to keep you fed/watered/drained.
Consider if all players were in the same situation
Consider if all players had no memory pre-EVE
Would we not consider EVE to be real life and the dreams we have about a planet called earth at 12.00GMT+ to be just that - figments of our collective imagination?

My guess is that we can't work on our 'real life' the whole time we're awake, frankly, at times, I get bored with 'real life' that's when I want to relax a bit.
We play EVE online, others watch tv the whole night, is our choice worse? Not in my eyes, playing games at least requires you to use your brain, unlike the tv.
But really, it's none of these reasons you've listed, it's to have fun |

False dichotomy. ≡v≡ is a part of real life: the part called "entertainment".

We did education and after that got awesome jobs with great pay.
Thanks to these awesome jobs with great pays we've gotten surplus money and time where we don't need to work.
We spend this surplus money and time at something we call "entertainment". The definition of "entertainment" may differ between individuals.

Have to agree with many that have said friendship first, but lets qualify that a bit more ....
I believe (and this is my opinion) that the character you are, you bring into the game. Hence you would find that Chribba IS a honest person in RL - and on the flip side, the infamous Ginger Magician is an a***hole. I cannot see how you can play this game as an alter-ego if it isn't a major part of your character.
So, within the game there are two distinct types of characters that occupy both ends of the scale - those that enjoy inflicting distress REGARDLESS of the consequence, and those that enjoy being preyed upon or victimised and you will find then both in Eve if you look hard enuf.(Some of them occupy Rancer)
In the case of Victimism (if it ain't a word then I just created it). This is a state where you allow/enjoy/seek out instances where you can have pain inflicted on you with the intention of screaming out to those that will take NOTICE, of your pain and suffering. (You KNOW who you are)
Many players are as they are in RL - happy, morally aware, socially engaging - like to push the boundries a bit without suffering the consequences (and most times failing) and interacting cos if you REALLY analyse your reasons for being on-line it is to interact and share the experience - something you can't get from TV
In summary - you have decided to include this game into your time which means it is real - as your life is real.
I have met many really great, nice, funny, intelligent, driven people in Eve. I will meet alot more.
That is real

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??
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.
The same reason people do anything in their spare time. Because they enjoy it. If they like, they do. Very simple. I'm not sure where you going with real/not real. Anything most people do for enjoyment is not 'real', if by real you mean accomplish. I for example enjoy mountain biking in trails. At the end of the day I didn't accomplish anything like I would in eve(say I just finished BS lvl 5 any race).
TL;DR -- People spend time doing things in their spare time because they enjoy it. If you have any further argument your failing to grasp this concept and will not understand.

Because theres never anything on TV these days, a week has more hours than the 40 i spend at work, because hanging on your partners lip 24/7 doesnt work.
but mainly to have some fun.
why do people play monopoly? why do people like christmas? its all the same shit ending up in fights.

Because Eve has more drama then a soap series, and you are part of the story instead of a couchpotato.

I'm just trying to get a leg up for the next planet I'm reincarnated on.... cause I'm guessing its going to have spaceships.

Fun.

No. But I'm working at preventing others from getting better than me.
Originally by: Leto Corleone

I'm not trying to. I have them. (in multiple communities).
Originally by: Leto Corleone
Are you looking for power over others ?
Nope. Power is no fun.
Originally by: Leto Corleone

There's no way to inflict harm to anyone through a game. If someone feels any pain, that's self inflicted. Just do not forget what EvE is and you'll be fine.

Because it's fun.
Because my real life friends play this game.
Because I like to interact with people (internet conversations are still conversations with REAL people).
Because when I get home from work and the gym, my physical body is tired and needs rest but not sleep.
Because TV sucks. EVE > TV.
