soooooo why this crazy sudden change of heart over my 2nd girl friend? well it boils down to 3 things really:
1. its expencive, Like more Expencive than WoW or Daoc, unless u buy a yearly subs....and at 107£ i dont think so.
2. unlike other MMOS, when u die, you kinda feel crap about it. all the effort put into ships and then they Go down like a hooker on $300000/hr, on most MMO u lose like a bunch of XP but u can Grind that up quick, ur weapons dont go pop, but in eve i can Say i have never felt loss like that in a game. knowing that the Insurance for the ship is like... oooo a whole 5% of the value you payed and fitted it up with (yes i'm talking Tech 2 ships/items) that dent in the wallet is subtantal and i have felt like leaving the game on those loses.
3. its getting Boring, I dont mean like there's nothing to do, theres plenty todo, but if all u can do is Repetive, and is the only really way of making moneys in the Game, then poo tbh
things imho would improve the game.
- get the insurance inline with amount you have to pay for a bloody T2/faction ship
- make PVP profitable, maybe giving out Bountys for Players, ( not like the Bounty office) so u get into a fight with another Player, u kill him, you get a million isk! (ok maybe thats not such a good idea
-Instance dungens... Ones that only ppl in ur gang can get in.
Just give a Player a way of making money, instead of been stuck in a god dam Station hiding from Reds in 0.0, and before you say "well go to 1.0 and do missions?" then what about War targets? what about the brain cells u burn from the TIDIUM of them? Eve needs a SERIOUS excitement boost, because i for one, cant afford to replace all the T2 ships i need to fight with.
ooohhhkkayy
well as for an alturitive to EVE, i started Looking at WAR.... how i love that..... i makes me want to run outside and scream it... or WAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHH!!!.... (ahem).
WAR, it looks like wow (kinda) handles Like Everquest (kinda) and has alll the Love that Mythic Stuck into dark ages of camelot. but my PC loaded and went... OMFG STOP IT, STOP IT NOW.... my Video card, a Lowly GeForce FX5300 sobbed its dear little heart out trying to run the game in low Graphic.
other than the jerko vision, i managed to get to level 5/6 in 2 hours or so, the game, its self, is good, i enjoyed the questing and the PvE. Its going to be a Good game.
right i am tired, and i need to rest.
say hello to Barney.... my dowg

the bubbles cant be seen as i took effect off in the end
