MMORPG. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
The important parts are underlined, they are not mutually exclusive but neither are they inclusive. Eve is multiplayer, some people role play at being part of something bigger, others just happen to role play at being lone wolfs, neither is a wrong way to play.
In that respect an MMO is much like life, you can succeed either way. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

I agree.
I think people including the op confuse a massively multiplayer game universe with "team play."
Of course there can be benefits when you team up in any universe including the real one. But the rewards are also decrease when you have to share them.
Eve is trying to hard to force people to team up with by artificially paying higher amounts for incursions if they are done as a team. IMO Its ruining the andbox feel.

Yeah.. you're dreaming there. The very fact that you said "potential recruits" just shows how much you know about them, but keep hoping. Turn WiS into wIN! ..make all the characters Nude. |

Not so black and white. There is nothing wrong with being Space Entrepreneur. Also there is nothing wrong with being part of a hive, with strict hierarchy, rules and thingies. It's matter of personal taste (goals) and freedom of choice.
PS. "Entrepreneurs become what they are for several reasons. Many, depending on the person, choose to do so to avoid workplace drama, discrimination, being taken advantage of, or just to be their own boss" (source wiki)

Massive MULTIPLAYER Online Role Playing Game
Trying to play solo in an MMORPG is like expecting to play a shooter game without getting shot at. Point is, if you play solo you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. If you don't want to play with others you should not be accommodated for. You realize MULTIPLAYER means that more than one person is playing it at the same time, not that you have to play with those people, right? Oh, from your statement, I guess you don't.
I am well aware. That was not the point of my post. I did not claim that you have to play with others. What I did say was that by trying to play alone you are intentionally putting yourself at a disadvantage. I guess bolding and capitalizing a word at the same time grabbed too much attention.

the harsh truth about casuals is theyll never be happy in a game like this and should find a new one.
Theyre like the aliens from independance day.
But casuals descend on a game, ***** and moan to make it the way they want, create all kinds of change away from the creators' vision FOR the game, then flit off to the next big title, leaving the game they JUST infested broken and destroyed.

Never been one to join the masses. I generally play alone.
Who has time to do what somebody else wants me to do?
No thank you, sir.
The only players I occasionally play with are a bunch of guys running a small-time corp based in my home city. I actually know and drink with these real people.
Having pretend, online friends is still just sad and creepy to me. Apologies to the majority of players out there, but can't help thinking what I think. Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana. |

Everybody in this game whines and posts to ask for things that will help their style of play. It's not just the casual players.
But a game that doesn't offer any place or any help for casual players is going to die. In case you haven't noticed, this game stopped growing its player base a while back.
Older players get stronger and stronger, and new players start playing in a deeper and deeper hole. Plain simple fact that is a consequence of the way the game is designed. Older players learn more and more ways to make the game miserable for new players, and revel in it.
Chat in local is nasty and mean to the point of absurdity. We're all manipulating a big database on a server, but most players somehow think their testosterone is involved.
Everybody is a homo, everything is gay, you need to grow a vagina, you mad bro? u sound mad bro? nothing but constant smack and nastiness. You're really an inviting bunch to spend time with.
The decent corps where you don't hear **** used as the verb of choice are rare.
So yes, this is a group game, for sure. Groups of what is the question. |

OP
The Harsh Truth About Casual/Solo Players
They don't care what you say or anyone else. (they are solo players so they don't interact with anyone.) They also don't read the forums., and surely won't waste their time posting on them.
So your comments about casual solo/ casual players are well very inaccurate

I have no problem with people suggesting things as I have faith in CCP to see a bad idea. As long as people are happy to make suggestions they will keep coming, it does not matter that 99% of them are bad it's worth it for the 1% that are good. |

Im a solo player and ive never heard of that list and would not support it.
Living in the cracks is a far better game than a huge blobbing political alliance.
PLus i just dont have the time to invest for roams etc etc
(see how i tell you im solo and manage to look down my nose at anyone who is in a corp/alliance. Nice work on my part) I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion. |

The harsh truth about casual/solo players. 1.Don't have to deal with the headache of managing more then one person to get things done. 2.A clean schedule free of commitments and deadlines set by the collective. 3.Too small and insignificant as an entity to be harassed in most cases.(It is EVE after all) 4.Too lazy to command more then one person at a time anyway. 5.All the profits go to me,myself,and I. 6.Will always play as no other game currently has no equal to depth and value of the EVE gaming experience. 7.Internet Spaceships are even more of a serious business as we can only afford or build so many ships ourselves at a time. 8.We simply freaking love space. |
