EVE Online

[Belle Hibiki]

Don't play EVE. I was infatuated with the game until I realized how much effort it would take to keep playing. Don't be fooled by the 'skills train even when you're offline!' crap. Even if you have the battleship skill, you still need the MONEY for the battleship, which takes time to get. Boring time. Boring ass missions and/or mining and/or courier missions. Boring. Utterly. It's a JOB that you PAY FOR. MONTHLY.

I can understand the game's appeal. I can appreciate its intricate, oftentimes arcane complexities. I totally understand how the idea of a single persistent universe tickles the fancy, and how the (heavily embellished) stories of fleet-vs.-fleet combat might send a shiver down your spine. But it's not FUN.
