Who gets to wear the handcuffs? :smirking_face:

I would not mind a vampiress in her case. But that’s an exception, not a rule. She seemed to slip by repeating 300 yrs old so I think shes in her 30’s, but one comment she made, made me think she might be older. Best left undiscovered! :laughing:

Smartest thing I have read in apx a yr!

I don’t quite agree but I can see your point.

The game falsely advertises itself as “I can do anything I want”. The only ad I see is the one where it says, “You are not ready for this game.” tells the truth. So, I can’t blame noobs for just wanting to chill. It’s a two-edged sword. When I started, CCP said they would never sell skills but that became necessary. Even I had to agree even though that started the problem. One which the game will never regain its numbers. I could go on about the 50k avg and 60k spikes that the game will never have again. The game left most of its core gameplay/values/whatever behind because it had no choice. And the worst part is someone like you would probably have excelled back then.

None of the bitter old vets left here can describe the game back then, what you missed and the much more of a challange it used to be! Suffer through learning skills! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: Glad you enjoy the game! Shame I gave all my isk to the hookers! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Read between the lines, she is telling you something else

How old do you want me to be?

I tried to be diplomatic and explain. We’ll see what happens.

@MB_ThePhotographer I can see your point of view. With a game as old as EVE there are plenty of good memories and letdowns but things change with time and all we can do is adapt.

I’ll never stop posting this, because the thing he said at the end is terrifying:

Such a contrast to his young years:

Time to go to sleep… night night lovelies!

Also: I was today years old when I learned…

…that a milk bar is a bar serving mostly milkshakes. I was under a vague impression that maybe they were like a kind of cafeteria here in Spain which used to sell their own milk with coffee or chocolate and also juices and soft drinks, but they never were called “bars”. Didn’t occur to me that “milk bar” was for “milk(/shake) bar” since milkshakes never have been a big thing in Spain.

You edited your post after my reply. I want you to be the age you are, enjoying life to its fullest!

I do believe I’ve had to adapt far more than you have, but since you were not there at that time, I can see how you would not understand.

If it’s a race I believe you’ve won quite a while ago.

Youngsters rarely understand what it means to adapt and adapt again. As society, the world, and life in general keeps changing.

It’s not a race. Experience only comes from time. If it were a race, we have all lost.

I am very sorry I just cannot describe what the original game was like. Nor the time and effort to “Get Gud.” Just buy your way in now which in turn gets you killed which just gets players to leave.

The older you get, the more you have to adapt! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

I may find an old video, but what’s gone is gone. Reminiscing is charming but won’t bring anything back except memories and feelings which those who weren’t there can never have.

Not going to buy my way into anything. We used to call people who do that “suckers”. The speed at which my skills train is 15.0. So be it. I don’t care, I don’t plan on flying anything over Destroyers anyway. Skill injectors, implants? No need. I’m in no hurry. Skills will be done when skills are done. It doesn’t hurt me if I don’t play the game for a week.

He is fascinating and scary at the same time. He was a hero for pushing back the Ottomans and the myth on him is insanely sexy… wait, I thought I didn’t like bad boys :thinking:
