Now that Iā€™ve had the time to try EVE Online, seen a bit of interiors and undocked, done a few missions and used the market, I feel that I have gotten a unique perspective and valuable opinion about what this thing is: Itā€™s a hmm, aā€¦ itā€™s- itā€™s a- itā€™s a game! šŸ˜ƒ ---

What do you call it when you can make over a billion isk per hour? Add on having so many alts with so many skills that you canā€™t decide what to do? Personally, Iā€™m space rich and bored as well. On topic: Eve is a conglomeration of space nerds vying to be top space nerd, through various means. šŸ¤“ ---

> [@Your\_Ex-Girlfriend](#): > > Personally, Iā€™m space rich and bored as well. In my view, people are only ā€˜boredā€™ in Eve as a result of failure to take risk. Whatā€™s the point of mining 50 Billion ISK worth of ore, only to sit in dock and congratulate yourself on mining 50 Billion ISK worth of ore ? Or feeling chuffed about owning a Paladin that never gets undocked. Eve is all about destruction. Either your own or someone elseā€™s. And even your own destruction provides content for others. People losing ships is what makes the Eve universe go round, and what prevents it all being boring. ---
