Is she a triplet?

Eve... Its by far one of the best things i have discovered. I enjoy the fact that as a CEO eve has taught me alot about logistics , politics and the general operation and ways of leadership that come with having a group of 30 odd working together.
But as alot of people have said. RL needs to come first. ATM though thats a double sided sword. My mother has failed to pay the power and phone bill so now im rushing like an idiot to try and do everything i need to do.
Im a deadset addict and the last time my machine crashed i got very depressed i hope to christ that it doesnt happen again.
Moral of the story = Get done what NEEDS to be done , because a life without eve is very very depressing.
as for socail life well i've not bothered with looking for a gf all they want is to sex and to get smashed every weekend so i got it easy and my perants are never home so the house is
If you cant amaze them with brilliance , baffel them with bull****! |

I love the game but it is my best form of procrastination. Like mentioned earlier, I could just quit but my grades in school would still suffer because i would just watch tv or find some other excuse. its my personality. im kind of a binge player though. this is the only mmo game ive ever played so i will play it heavily for a month or 2 at a time, and then only login to check my skills for a month or so at a time while i play battlefield. i dunno. ive got homework i need to have done a couple hours ago, but here i am on the forums. sigh.
i stil love eve though and i think that its the person that needs to learn to prioritize. im in highschool so ive still got some time, but i really do need to realize that the homework thats sitting next to me on the desk is slightly more important than possible nighthawk setups.

Originally by: Bhaal RL comes first, if it doesn't, then you may have a problem...
I rarely make time for EVE anymore, I log on if I have any spare time.
In the early days, I made time for EVE.
It's very different, the emersion is lost, but it's better than no EVE at all...
QFT although last year i was only in school maybe 40% of the time admitally i taught myself the course's but i used to have time for alot of eve then, but now i have lost the emersion and i have a-levels :(

I have no wife/gf. I have had several GFs but I dont think 8t`s worth the while, instead I work long hours, use all my money on a nice car and alcohol and other stuff. I am really ego and I love it... I have many friends who i drink with on weekends and spend time with on weekdays. In addition to this, I play 4-8 hours a day. I considered this before I started playing and playing EVE is good because you stay at home instead of going out and using money. I think i use the time on EVE that other people use for their family. And for me - It`s soooooo worth it! I got good ingame friends who don`t get mad if I don`t play an evening or two. YES I use alot of my life for EVE, and YES i`d like to continue doing this!

Not just eve has changed me, gaming in general has an effect on the life.
Totalwar has me looking at the landscape and think "Hmmm those trees over there would be a perfect place some archers if some infantry was coming from that thar bridge".
Counter-strike has made me much more aware of every sound/sight that goes like me looking through *****s in doors as i go into a room (not stopping and peeping no, nothing silly like that) and looking at shadows.
Eve has just given me "no space is safe space" paranoia
It has helped in a time of friends seperating and all going different ways in the world but to this degree its become a crutch and really needs to be got rid of totaly for a while. Stand on your own, etc.

Yes she does, its me...
My RL has only been affected in a positive way by gaming, i have met my boyfriend through it (who now lives with me). I have met some wonderfull people from across the globe, who we went to see this christmas.
So to all you men still unatached.....there are girls out there who love to game just as much, and what better way to spend time together then figuring out how best to fit your ships together and set up strategies for fighting?

Originally by: Tassi To play eve consumes so much time
On weekends I go out and get drunk so no eve, the rest of the week is school stuff, 1 month left for my final exams so I dont have that much time atm
Many alliance ops are on the weekends and pretty late for me (got GMT +01:00), need to get drunk in the town at that time and not shooting reds ...
hi eve-warrior
That would explain why i have not seen you on the Kill boards
Since i am here, i got a sick note for today too. The thing is i have moved to Norway, and find i spend more time on eve in the winters. There is no way i am going out when its -15 or anywhere near there. When the summer comes i let my eve time slack and catch up on my socal life.

OK, it's worked out well for you, but to be fair, Eve probably isn't the best dating agency given that we all hide behind avatars that bear no relation to our physical reality (details such as sex, for example). Or is that actually an advantage?

You know, there IS people spending 10 hours/day knitting or wathcing TV... When you play EVE you allways work towards a goal, you DO interact with other players, making fun and games... Is EVE really worse then TV?

EVE is a great way to spend Winter and cold outside. but as the summer approaches i think i'll play less and less, i just hope i'll have the strenght to
I think that the half naked girls outside will increase my 'RL playing' skill ;)
And yes it's all about priorities, if you have something better to do in RL then do it, otherwise just play eve!
BTW did anyone figure out how to make real money in EVE so we can all stop going to work/school or whatever and play eve nonstop. And for the wife problems, just use 'buddy program' on her email ;)
George just lucky i guess ! |

I can't even remember what I did before I found Eve.......
Starting to play a lot more of my older games now, such as Dawn of War and Warcraft 3 and Halflife 2 now that I got my new PC built but still gotta log in most days if I can

I make it a point not to put off RL things for Eve. That's just lame. I keep telling my corp not to schedule the good stuff for the weekends because I have better things to do :)
That said, Eve is one of the main things (other than going out to eat and movies) that my husband and I do together, because we have very different interests.

Wish I could get my wife interested in EVE then maybe she wouldn't have threatened to walk out on me and I could still spend my time on eve . ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meh. If I did not play eve I would be siting around looking at **** and being depressed. Which is what I was like before I started playing and the meds.
Good thing is I have a job in RL and going to collage in the fall:)

Originally by: Eris Discordia In the future do not date eve players
You'll end up stuck in a corp or alliance with one sooner or later after it's over
Otherwise no real impact except some strange tshirts with skeleton bunnies on it
Amen to that Eris.
There is nothing worse then going out with someone who is a hardcore gamer, and then when it goes sour having to play along side that person aferwards in the place you come to chill out and relax. That has ruined one game for me already, I dont want it to happen again.
I think I spend too much time at the computer in general and in my heart I know it stops me doing things I need to but I dont wanna go cold turkey cause I enjoy EVE and my PC too much.
I see it as very cheap entertainment considering the cost per month. Im just glad my girlfriend sees it the same way and doesnt wanna play EVE of course

Well, tbh my biggest problem associated with EVE/Online games, is that my physical condition has decreased drastically during the last two years. Whenever I try to get myself out and run, or work out or whatever, it's just so much easier to log into EVE and go kill something.

Edited by: Terminus Shade on 24/03/2006 11:10:35 EVE affecting RL? I'M INNOCENT!
No.. Really.. Half an year ago I were biking with my friend around and round the town, and I saw two police cars passing by, and yelled "Crap, it's the CONCORD!" and went off the road(The first thing they reminded me of was concord, which involves an instant reflex of getting the heck outta the place, so there :D)..
My friend stopped and started laughing his arse off asking what the heck do I mean, so I had to explain him a good bunch about EVE..
I also have had alot of dreams/nightmares about EVE, usually very bothering ones like flying a battleship, and not being able to lock a tiny T1 frigate spinning around you and your tank isnt working for some reason.. Or then having to chase my drones to pick them up and warp before an imaginary "enemy" finds me..

This thread is actually really funny, but so true. I play eve CONSTANTLY all day and night. Its highly addictive, and we are as bad as smack heads rofl. I believe in about 10 years time we will all be in nut houses mumbling to the nurses something about giving us our +5 implants back after being diagnosed with EVE-ITEOUS. Hopefully i will be the first one to sue ccp for billions (not isks but rl money) for the terrible addiction they have caused me. oh and what the hell is real life? we cant go back to that until the eve gate is fixed. Yes i am crazy.

Edited by: Nasum on 24/03/2006 12:37:41 Someone once told me that dreaming about something regularly means you've set aside a part of your brain to deal with that function. Like when an anglo-phone starts dreaming in French they know they're pretty fluent in it, i.e. a part of their brain has been set aside for it.
So, if like me, you dream regularly about eve, it's scary to think a part of my brain is devoted to ONE computer game Exactlies: When your ass and your armpits smell *exactly* the same. |

The reality of this problem is far more complicated than mere "prioritize" or "100 ways to trick your girlfriend/boss in order to play" discussions. First of all maybe "problem" is not the greatest word, it's more like "self awareness issue".
A fact in this goddamn world is that very few people are really aware of the real issues they face, and instinctively try to compensate with what they can. This turns normal activities into the "addictions" you all recognize.
Issues?? yes.. social inadaptation , lack of perspective that leads to pesimism, god , this world is full of downers that just wait to catch you a little unsure about yourself , hit you subconciously and ultimately turn you into a shadow of what your potential can be.
A game is as valid as any other life experience , and i can justify this just with one single argument: It's created by another person. That's it.. This gives al the justification it needs. It was created , you play it, that's it. It doesnt harm you in any way... hah.. well yes, this is valid for the perfect human..
Reality is much more twisted. I found that a general rule of addiction is that you rarely are aware of it. ok im gonna try to get to the conclusion more quickly because im swarmed with too many things i'd have to say on this subject and i fear if i get more complicated it'l be a waste of words here
what do you want from life? i don't know, but i am sure of something, that you are all social beings (yes even you the introverted loners that like to think themselves as independent and powerfull because they can live alone) You will all crumble under the weight of your own loneliness if you do not have the curage to live (don't get me wrong, playing eve is a valid way of spending time as i explained earlier). Don't try to "evade" life just because it's easier and you can yell "yeah cool, im the new cybercitizen of the new world". You are just inventing a substitute reality , but inside you still need the real one, only each day it gets harder and harder to grasp.

Well interesresting honest topic , i often wonder how othe rdeal.
Im single with little other then work obligations yet i do have trouble with Eve/rl.
Asometimes i seem to wight and handle it perfectly sometimes i sunk to deep and must repair dmg after...
Overall i see it as another , new kind of hobby.Poeple can categorzie stamps all days or hit a ball against a table , i think Eve can be at least as interesting/developing.
OFc it got its dangers. ******** "The dark Lord rides in force tonight...Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all. Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before." |
