EVE offline…sound something and not with what i ve read.

I m curious…i would really like to play this game…but i m not someone who play a lot to pc games but i do love the immense and infinite kind of map. For someone who play like maybe 5 hours a week since its the only time i can find, i m curious if its worth to pay like 11$ per months (if you take a year). Does it still like that? But EVE offline…is it true?

Do we need to be hardcore gamers to play that kind of game and does something can happen during the time you re offline?

I still say that WoW would be best as an offline game with a Raid matching lobby. It pretty much plays that way. Charging a sub fee for that is pretty… unpalatable.

I laughed at this. I started to reply to argue against it, but then realized I’m an EVE player but havn’t logged in except to change skills and chat a bit for nearly two months. That sounds pretty bad, but I’m a binge player. I played almost nothing but EVE for four months, now I’ve moved on to something different (Dwarf Fortress at the moment). I don’t think that’s atypical of MMO players though, to quit and come back, and the nice thing about EVE’s system is when I do go back there will be new aspects of the game open for me to try.

…and probably an ad hominem attack.

I like the irony of Captain Obvious missing the obvious. I think the comment would be enhanced with some boldface, maybe an exclamation point or two.

Ummm +50% training speed and free skill books would break the game. That’s such an obvious game balance destroyer that if you were a real gamer, you have been ashamed to make such musings public. Unless of course you can’t actually ever play that character in the online game, in which case you should just o play ProgressQuest.

I would have no interest in this kind of thing. I *PLAY* my characters. A lot.

HOWEVER, I would be more than happy if they’d move skill switching to the Character selection screen. That way, I wouldn’t have to log into the game UI and field 10 convo greetings just to switch a damn skill. I know–I could just ignore people, switch the skill, and log out, but that seems rude.

[...] be to turn skill training into its own game, not a peripheral activity related to EVE’s… Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments [...]

how many of you play your EVE characters like this anyway, except for ~12 hours a month, only at full cost with no training bonus?

Playing my EVE Online characters that way is no different than how I play my World of Warcraft characters, though. In both games I’m paying a subscription for a character that I make limited use of.

World of Warcraft helps you advance after a period of inactivity through the rested bonus for XP. EVE Online merely has a different way of helping players who cannot dedicate as much time as others.
