OT: Eve On Line

Well, maybe I should leave, then. Truth is, I have not played very much over the last few months.

As I said, I tend to like to do my thing when I feel like it. I work hard and when I come home I like to relax. I hate being in an alliance where somebody is telling me when I need to log on and what I have to do when I log on.

I have a boss and a wife, so I just don't need another situation where I am obligated to do something for some stranger.

That's the big problem with online games, IMHO.

TBH it kind of bothers me when people say 'Eve is a pvp game' or 'Eve is a group game' or 'Let's force people out of NPC corps and into player corps.'

My understanding is that Eve is whatever each player wants it to be. Whether or not the player plays solo, it's up to them, and nobody has the right to judge them.
