I tried and quit EVE three times before I started playing for good. My mistake was not getting into PVP, because when I did, EVE became permanent.
If you’re a fast learner and interested in getting involved in small-gang PVP please check out the Sons of Luminaire recruitment thread here:
We’ll show you a good time, if you know what I mean, and are willing to lower our recruitment requirements for mature, chilled people who have a real interest in getting into the game.
