    EVE Online

    Does anyone here play? I'm doing the 14 day trial now...

    I'm sorry to hear that you're quitting fencing.

    Was your client convicted of tasting the apple of knowledge, or did you get her acquitted?

    I think this is what I'm going to do as well. It's a lot of fun, and mind numbingly complex (a good and bad thing), but I just don't think it's a monthly subscription worth of fun....

    Then again, I'm only in day 3, so maybe I'll change my tune later...

    Saber. Check the "Details" section on any particular part (preferably low-level ammo, because it sells a high volume) in the market. They show the real-life Exponential Moving Averages. WHAT GAME ACTUALLY HAS EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGES WTF?!?!?! Playing that game to "completionist" status would require giving up your real life completely. Also, it would take over 41 years to get lvl 5 in all the skills, AFTER you get the ones that give you a bonus to skill learning speed. (It takes like 131 years without them). Single best MMO I've ever played, but I'm the type who loves the complexity. I just can't give up my job to play it...

    Yeah, the complexity and depth is amazing. I'm not really an MMO kinda guy, but if I would be into one this would probably be it. But it seems like it just isn't that fun if you don't invest a lot of your time in it, and I could do much more productive things with my time. It's been fun, but I'm almost sure I'm not getting a subscription....

    EDIT: OTOH, I did note that unlike most MMO's, newbies seem to actually be "useful" to corps for their role as frigates or simply as barge pilots...

    I played eve for about a year but recently quit. I liked it, but I ended up spending far too much time in excel planning production for my industrial character and manipulating the market.

    Hahaha, yeah you could practically get a business degree in the time you spend working on that game xD
