Well I played have played Eve online since October 2007 and followed the career paths through mining (excruciatingly boring) and then on to level 4 mission running (very boring after the first rush), I feel sad writing this. And so I asked on the eve online forums what I could do for some entertainment and had some good suggestions. Following those suggestions I joined a low sec corp and trained for exploration and a covert ops ship (Buzzard) to try and alleviate the crushing boredom that is Eve online. I just started to move my **** from Frarn (high sec space, maybe 0.9) towards 0.0 space and got ganked by three pirates right outside of the Frarn space station. Concord did nothing, they never fired a shot and I got podded, so bang goes my Raven and a whole bunch of T2 gear and implants. My point is this: despite all the CCP bluster there isn't really any thing to do in Eve Online except hang around in groups and gank people. The lack of content drives players in this direction and the end result is generational: the guys that have been playing the longest hold all the cards.

Eve online, what a total waste of time. Don't play it unless you want to hammer your head against the wall. There's nothing to do unless you want to hang around in groups and destroy what others have made. I have real life regrets in terms of dollars and time expended with respect to this game. cheers. kev.

Eve was a great time for a couple of years.

What a different experience I had from Kevin's.
I played Eve for 2 years and had a great time. I started as a clueless noob. Joined a corp. Got involved in Faction Warfare. Made a ton of ISK. Got in lots of exciting battles in low sec. I also did some mining, which is boring if you do it by yourself, but fun to do while I was working on something else in the real world. I did some industrialist stuff and built ships and modules to sell in low sec. I did some wormhole stuff, killing Sleeper NPC's with dreadnaughts and making hundreds of ISK per hour. I played trader and hauled stuff so I could buy low and sell high. I helped defend Huola from the evil Amarr Empire for many months, which was a PVP activity involving patrolling and chasing Amarrians out of the system. I scanned hidden sites and explored them. I did level 4 missions in Low Sec while being hunted by other players. I won battles that I should have lost, and lost battles that should have been easy.

Eve is one of the best video games ever. Eve is very complicated, and hard to learn. But this means it never gets old. There were giant swaths of the game that I never even explored, like Null Sec sovereignty battles, flying cap ships, planetary mining, moon mining, null sec piracy...
Eve does have quite a bit of waiting around, punctuated by moments of extreme thrills. You have to be the kind of gamer who can find their own things to do. You can't lose heart if you lose a ship. I lost so many ships and got podded just by being slow or making silly mistakes. You can play it a couple nights a week. It's better if you get in a good corp.

I quit because I wanted to try SWTOR, and also just to take a break. But I've been thinking lately about starting up again.
