This is absolutely the worst advice to give.

@Fitz_Blitz, Keep your account, character and assets intact. Take a break if needed and continue to keep watch on the game for news and expansions.

I also suggest that you keep your account subbed and continue skill training, even if you don’t log into the game for extended periods. That way when you decide to jump back into the game your character will be ready.

Which advice ignores the context which is for @Fitz_Blitz to …

You are advocating that he/she makes an each way bet as to whether they will or will not “stay away”. I’m advocating instead that it is better to make a decision, one way or the other, and then stick with it.

In reality, if they find that they can’t ….

… then they will in fact have already made their decision. QED.

The only reason for doing a bunch of multiple quotes is to dissect the context of the original statement in an attempt to find something to nitpick about.

I really don’t care what you think. I’m sure CCP loves having players like you here in these forums telling others to unsub and trash their characters.

Correct.

No. It does have the benefit of making any nitpicking transparent but otherwise it is simply, 1) to provide evidence as to what is being replied to, and also, 2) to maintain context. (Which is also nitpicking on my part; go figure.)

I very much doubt that. However, the point was simply to advise @Fitz_Blitz to make a decision. One way or the other. Stay or go, without my advocating which one is better.

Well that isn’t true. If you were advising him to make a choice then you would have mentioned both aspects instead of just telling him to trash his account.

eg …

You never advised him to keep his account and take a break. Also your insistence to only post a small section of quote instead of the entire statement is an attempt to portray my statements out of context. Just stop with the deceit and subterfuge.

I know. You did. Subsequently. That’s the value of a community-based discussion; many voices.

I advised him to make a black and white decision. Make a clean break, once and for all, to support his “resolve to stay away from the game”. Otherwise, he would be back. Simple choice.

No, it is an attempt at brevity on my part, as I am an otherwise long-winded forum poster.

Sure and nobody said to remove the clothes, but unless they add something i can actually make use of the celebration is about the same as one guy standing in a corner with a party horn for me

I’m not S. Rex, but yes, the new century/millenium did not begin until January 1, 2001.

Blame the early Christians for the whole 1 BC to 1 AD thing with no year zero in between, it’s all their fault.

That’s a sign you needed a break anyway. But I’ll agree with DMC and say you should just keep your toon training and wait until you’re ready to play again to spend more than a minute or two here and there on EVE. Burnout is real, yo.

Can he sleep on it? and give you his answer in the morniiiin’?

Well. I would support this point of view actually.
Selecting group of players by their RL conditions and giving them additional in-game benefits does not look like deal for the community.

celebrate your sweet sixteen by treating yourself to not having an alliance tournament.

Still mad at CCP and I’m resisting the pull this game has on me.

Still not paying for the game but I still log in but I can’t coax myself to undock with my alpha. Does that mean I am wining or loosing?

This game has been such huge part of my life for so long so I still log in out of habit. I still check zKillboard and watch twitch of the game.

Getting this 1mil sp gift from CCP would have been real nice. What can CCP come up with to lure people into the game after this fiasco? I was on a brake from the game when my friend contacted me to tell me about this event. I took it as a gesture from CCP to welcome me back. Instead it was just a big F U.

None of my friends got the last price and none of them care. I guess I’m the drama queen of the bunch.

Speaking of Anniversaries. anyone remember the 10th anniversary? they even put out an awesome book, gift box, and a physical ship model to celebrate it.

They Also provided MYSTERY CODES to those that bought it as an award with promises they would be used for years to come to give buyers gifts that no one else would get.

Well Some of us are STILL waiting on a mystery code prize. for like 5 years now… Don’t think we will ever forget this CCP.

Actually, a year or two ago they gave us (via our redeem queue) free SWAT skins for all the CONCORD ships (Pacifier, Enforcer, Marshal, and IIRC even the Monitor brick-tank no-shoot FC cruiser, too).

There were other things the code was good for prior to that, but most of them were way back at the 10th anniversary, yes.

I still haven’t subbed. Am I winning?
