Why do EVE players take this game so serious?

Now hold on there, that’s unreasonable.

Roleplay permits are normally 10 billion isk (including one FREE plot twist), but we also roleplay with compassion. For a limited time, we are offering a sliding fee scale, with roleplay starting at just 1 billion isk for those who cannot afford our full rate. But wait, there’s more! Pay now, and I’ll throw in an extra character arc. That’s right, one billion isk gets you all the roleplay your heart desires.

  • Please roleplay responsibly.

Meh…you’d have to catch me first. And I can multibox them…so another one might uncloak just as you are attacking my ‘solo’ one.

You mean until the game locks up when you meet certain conditions flying your T3C - right?

I’m surprised that post got flagged, but I’m also surprised to see a ‘reserved’ posts.

Does your single question really require that much text that you expect to run out of editing space in the first post that you need to reserve a second?

You’ll have to bring a few corpses to uncloak me.

I enjoy the game for it complexity. its lore, the fact that you have to pay attention at all times while undocked.

The challenge of being a self starter. Selecting a goal to work towards. With no guarantee of being successful is a great plus. After all you want to have X. Then you work towards X, Maybe you succeed. Maybe you have to modify your goal. Or maybe you just have to work a little harder.

Regardless you have to want that goal. Be willing to do the dirty work of getting there. Eve has never been about just blowing ships up. Though that is most certainly is part of the game. It is about what do you want to do. What goal appeals to you.

You might start out as doing one activity and decide another is more suitable. Unlike in other games. It very acceptable and encouraged.
For all that I am a mostly casual player. The reason is RL. Otherwise I would be spending a lot more time in the game.

Not to be funny, but I had the same experience last night where one of mine was flagged as ‘off-topic’ and it wasn’t off topic. Was right on topic, contained two whole sentences and wasn’t offensive. So, I don’t know.

That’s not why I reserved it.

I use it for updates, and I’d rather not edit the first post.

Nothing sinister.

It’s not - at least not in the way that you’re describing. There are toxic tryhards in every competitive game community, most of them are worse than EVE’s.

What makes EVE special is that it’s less of a game, more of a hobby. So when someone trashtalks your shitfit in local, just imagine they’re a retiree ridiculing your cross stitch. Not that serious.

For a long guide I could maybe understand that, but yours was a simple question that was answered in the second post.

Well, third post, had you not reserved.

Even long guides can easily go on in just the first post in my experience. I never ran into the limits myself. It really is something from other forums with much smaller character limits that people reserve posts.

He did it to get people annoyed and to farm reactions on it.
