MMO BinA Geek's Look at Massively Multiplayer Online Games

One of the reasons I started this blog was to talk about my experiences in Eve Online, a game that I have come back to at least half a dozen times for different reasons. The last week or so, I haven’t been playing much. The corporation I am in has been shooting at towers (which for the most part are either defenseless, or are being attacked by so many ships that the odds of being shot at are one in two hundred) and pulling out of previously occupied space (which I am opposed to).

Add to this the fact that building a Jump Freighter has emptied out all the in game currency I have, and you create a situation where I just don’t feel like playing.

Don’t get me wrong. There is so many things happening in the game, and they are interesting, but they don’t interest me. One of the only reasons I even got back into Eve was that my cousin was playing, and I really needed the distraction from work sometimes, but the only things that excite me in Eve anymore are player to player combat, and making lots of ingame money quickly. I don’t want to grind through missions. I don’t want to mine ore for hours on end. I just want to fight in battles with under one hundred combatants and find easy ways to make ISK, the in game currency.

It is a real shame that the goals of my game play don’t match up with the corporation I am in currently. Too many friends in the corporation to start over somewhere else. It might be time for me to put the game down for a while, and come back to it again later, once PvP and making ISK are the main goals of the corporation again.
