Rofl,  yes it has gotton that bad.

[Varg]

Jesus.
Is that game fun? I tried a trial and was hella confused.

[Turkley]

The game looks like it could be sweet, but you probably have to put a ton of hours into it in order to get anything out of it.

I talked one night with Phazie, Noizer. He has played the game since the begining. He told me alot about it and it sound very cool, but he stressed it has a high learning curve, but in the end it is worth it. I would PM him or talk with him about it on TS he explaned alot about it to me.

[Dracneir]

I'll give you the nonpolitics part of it.. I got Phazis started on EVE. Then I got fed up having a lame miner char and quit. A few months later I made a Gallente fighter pilot.. it was fun for a while until our corporation moved to Period Basis.. ugh.

[BobTheZombie]

I will aggree there are a lot of politics in it, but then again there is also lots of other aspects.  Oh and eve cannot survive w/o the miners.  There is piracy though!!!  Yarr,

I am a 2 year vet of it,  but my corp is on some down time while we figure out how to rebuild. 

The economy cept for a few things is 100% player based,  but its 1 market like in wow,  there are 64 different markets in game.

I wanted to do piracy.. my friends made me stay in the corp instead of doing what I wanted to and camping Doril with a pirate corp all the time. Worst decision I made in EVE. I never had more fun than I did when I was 'accidentally' shooting blues to my alliance. Overview bug.

[BobTheZombie]

oh yeah,  i hate those bugs,  and you know every time it's fixed it finds a new way to break..   It took me a few weeks to find out how to set up my overviews so only red/neutrals only showed up.  BUT, the new overview has tabs now so you can set up 6 tabs with 6 different overviews.

This was the largest pvp battle on record,  at the peak of the fighting there were some 1100 players all in 1 spot trying to shoot.  There was lag,  lagg that makes Dalaran look like 0 ping.

The politics and events in that game have certainly entertained me.

The merc heist was certainly interesting.

Tell me, did you play Subspace by chance?

[BobTheZombie]

No, played homeworld and freelancer

[Varg]

this game looks really interesting, but all that mining and farming shit is lame. Why cant it just be Planetside in space....

[Redbear8]

I tried EVE a couple times, and loved the idea of it. But yeah, the jobs were a huge part of it, so I got bored quickly. I wanted to start a space pirate crew. I thought that would be a blast. I had also been watching a lot of Firefly at the time.

[BobTheZombie]

No one knows the true meaning of boring until you have to do ice mining to supply 50 pos's.
