True for many of us. But if we can hold out long enough for Eve to disappear from unprofitability, we’re cured.
Yeah.
For me, if they turned Eve into an curses based, rows 58; columns 203 based green screen game, to which you ssh, I’d LOVE it. Don’t hide the fact that those are spheres, not complex shapes. Don’t hide the fact that those moons, asteroids, stars, etc. are not what you see. Plato’s Cave. I still have SOME imagination.
The shakes are amazing. Better with friends, for sure.
I thought i was your friend
Do any of us really have friends in game?
Yes. The 2 pirates that ravaged me long ago in Anamake were my friends. They got me hooked on EVE. They taught me the excitement of PvP, and a year later, I found out that after much training, revenge was sweet, a dish best served cold.
Did you just kill them or did the right thing and stolen their corp property… maybe both?
You should win (=quit) the game, once you figure it out.
The glamour of EVE is when you’re new and you don’t understand everything that’s going on around you, but you’re still learning new things.
Once you figure out how the whole thing works, it loses it’s appeal.
Isn’t that with all games? XD I mean for example I just learned to PVE in Elite Dangerous. Then I found out Elite Dangerous is a horrible grind fest. BEFORE I learned to PVE I saw Elite Dangerous as a pretty cool game with so much to explore. Then I did alot of background research and found out the game is pretty simplistic with just grind on top of grind to get the best stuff.
Anyways back to EVE. Once you figure out the basics of the game you do realize how small/big EVE is. Gosh I am teaching many old established vets things they never learned XD But yes once you figure out how ANY GAME works it can lose its appeal I agree. What keeps me in EVE is the friends I made.
Pretty much is… Which is what these new players don’t understand. They constantly want you to tell them where and when are they supposed to go, what are they supposed to do there and how to do it completelly missing the point that you are supposed to figure all this yourself because that is the only thing that the game offers. Once you know everything, it is just a grind. Which these players also dislike and quit the moment they realize they must grind same dungeons X times to get top gear…
A 59.9% increase (£10.00 to £15.99) in your subscription price is unjustifiable, most people’s salaries haven’t increased by 59.9% (I wish) nor are they projected to increase by anywhere near that amount, even when you take into account that the subscription price hasn’t changed for some time and current general inflation. The content of the product you’re offering also hasn’t increased by 59.9% either.
The gaming market is an incredibly competitive market, who ever in your company suggested this would be the correct business move should consider studying Economics and the Computer Games market a little more closely or perhaps find themselves a new role.
Best of luck.
Quit Elite Dangeorus when I realised that I would have to smuggle passengers for 100 hours to get a carrier. That is 100 hours of my life wasted., when I could be doing something much more enjoyable like ganking defenseless miners in EVE.

Endwar
so much nostalgia
Why do you ask for discussion when no amount of it will ever rollback the price hike?
Is it for a laugh? To put all of our vitriol in the same place and forget about it?
I wish I still got them. I miss those things.
Got the shakes after some idiot almost killed me on the road. . Should have brought some friends along. Screaming with friends is better for sure.
So, you didn’t get ganked? Nice driving!
Yeah, I avoided the gank. Where is Githany the Red when you need her?

Hell, i can’t afford the things as it used to be.
Some things have to be lowered or rest completely until the world gets into a sane state again.
