So I took a three-month break, went back to WoW for a little while, tried out EQ2 and LOTRO, but after getting a 7mil SP char in Eve I just can't get into the other 'big' games so I guess I'm back to stay :).

Offline skill progression is a big thing for me (since my play schedule is erratic, I'm not hard-core by any means - reason I initially quit but I quit my 0.0 mining corp and I'm taking a different tack now, but I digress...), but Eve just has an atmosphere no other game out there has right now, IMO.  Despite the fact that people scream up and down Eve is a griefer's game and too unfriendly to be successful it's those very qualities that give it real staying power, IMO.  Dying sucks and should be avoided, the other side of the universe is a long way away, places that are 'dangerous' really are dangerous (and not merely high-level), all the player politics, an almost completely player-run economy, it gives Eve a life of its own, and makes it feel a bit more real, and not just an artifical grind with the devs continually pushing the bar further out.

Anyway, I'm done rambling :)... see you all in-game (maybe)

Fly safe and see you in space.
