Took your advice.
It was boring after that too.

Whenever it was people swelled to the size of planetoids inflated by pure ENTITLEMENT.

When gaming transformed from something done in one's free time to a fucking lifestyle.

When people started sinking real money into playing the damn things.

I used to play MUDs a lot back in the 90's and people would still get royally pissy even though all they lost was time spent on their characters.

Still, I don't ever remember hearing axe murder threats.

Eve has a terribly steep learning curve, and in-game losses are permanent. Some idiots think they can skip the grind like in WoW, so they sink 0 into a character, and stuff like this happens. That or they sink 200 hours into mining space rocks, then wander into a pvp area, and stuff like this happens.

But like any MMORPG, it's worthless unless you're having fun and not giving a shit what you win or lose.

Eve has a few great ideas that the other MORPGs don't have, unfortunately it lacks what makes other MORPGs fun.

I played it for 2 years, but the last year I only stuck with it because Goonswarm was hilarious. Small gang pvp can be a ton of fun, but even if you find a good corp, arms races mean you'll probably end up in grueling, horribly laggy fleet battles eventually.

The best thing about Eve is that it gives Lolbertarians a chance to see how a truly free market system fails spectacularly when facing religious fanatics, Russian hordes, or its own greed.

I'll check back on Eve every year or so to see if they fixed their problems, even when my character was high-level I only had fun flying suicide frigates.

What makes this clip great is that he didn't even get griefed. Dumbass was in a PvP server and got pissed because someone dared actually shoot him down.
