I’m growing convinced that EVE Online is like the crack cocaine of online games. Since I started playing in 2006, I’ve tried to out and out quit the game at least three times. All because I let myself get to into the game, and it just sucked up way too much of my life, time, and concentration. The first two times I “quit” in grand fashion and gave away most of my net worth in ISK (including a rigged T2-fit Megathron. Ouch.).
Even gave away one of my nicely-skilled alts which could have fetched over a billion ISK on the market.
DuckSoup, dammit I miss you!
This last time I just shut down the game and tried to ignore it. Quit the corp my main was in, set up shop back in my old haunts in Amarr empire space, and just shut down the ol’ gaming ‘puter. And it worked, for a few months.
Yet now…yeah, I just logged back in to run a few missions and reset some skills. Rescued a few damsels, stopped a few thieves, and killed a few dozen pirate battleships to do my part for rendering a small slice of Amarr safe yet again.
And you know what? It felt good. Dammit it all, it did. I even fired up both accounts and tested out a two-ship level 4 mission setup for the first time.
Sigh.
Seriously EVE, why can’t I quit you?
See you all in space!
Thanks for coming back for another visit!

Hah! I know how you feel. I’ve gotten bored of EVE, quit EVE, given all my stuff away, yet I’m still playing it…more than I used to now actually. I think it’s just because it’s such a damn good game! There’s so much to do…
You can’t quit eve because there is no end game to get tired of. :)
Wow, I am so glad not to have deleted you from my reader!
Glad to see you back and I love your new DIY theme! I really. Want it!
