Anyone on here plays this game? Is it worth it? Dropping everything in life for that one perfect game will always be a temptation... ;)

I played it from launch until around 2010 or so. Is it worth it? No. Is there a good alternative? No. EVE Online always had an element of spreadsheets to it. It was designed that way. The original game design was done inside excel. Personally I find it fascinating that CCP didn’t build their own spreadsheet functionality into the game considering how many players used spreadsheets to calculate mining yield returns, i…
That is very real-life-like then... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escalation_of_commitment is a very real issue in wars.

The best thing about eve is reading the stories about the politics and intrigue in the game that come out every few years. Participating from a grunt level is more a 5 hour standoff with a enemy fleet that refuses to fully commit or running spreadsheets to see what commodity you need to haul from where to where as a space trucker or where you need to set up your manufacturing base and where you need to buy your miner…
EvE Online is a deeply interesting game, and I think it's a testament to how long the game has been relevant. But while I love reading about the economics, wars, scams (EvE allows player scams in game), I could never see myself actually playing the game. It would suck up far too much of my time and money.

I used to just solo explore nullsec. Found something very zen about planning routes, scanning and sneaking past players to not get blown up (still happened a lot). Ended up joining a newbie corp as the return trip to sell stuff often wasn't worth it. They had a hauling corp that offered buyback for most items. Still played solo for the most part. People kept telling me that I'm playing the game wrong FWIW but not par…
Did you read about the player who tried to visit every system without dying? Seems you both have the same mindset.

In my opinion it was until it became easy and "legal" to exchange dollars for in-game currency via Plex Passes. It not only creates the constant temptation to just buy your losses back rather than playing but lets you assign a dollar value to everything you do. I played for five years but I quit after I calculated I was grinding for $1.72/hr. EVE absolutely has the potential for incredible experiences but that tainte…
It's weird how that made you feel worse than grinding for $0

Used to play EVE a long time ago in a known alliance. The game mechanics were not that good. What made the game shine was that it's an extremely complex sandbox game, where almost anything goes. This leads to a very complex game that is almost entirely governed by how the other players react to your interactions with them. The drama, dreams, hopes and despair that comes with playing the game is the real reward. It us…

Aurora4X (you're welcome). Similar to the idea of EVE ONLINE but much more indepth without the pesky things like graphics. Calling all Hackers: Lets make an open source Aurora4X style came that's played online.
Not open source, but is Prosperous Universe something similar?
